In the restaurant…

Seeing that Stella was absent-minded, Emmett asked in a gentle voice, “Stella, don’t you like the

dishes?”

Hearing the words, Stella pulled herself back to reality and smiled at him apologetically, “Nope. They

taste good. It’s my own reason.”

Maybe it was because Rebecca let her hug the child today, Stella had been absent-minded during the

whole afternoon. She couldn’t help but thinking that if her child was delivered, he should also be

several months’ old. He would be as soft and cute as Rebecca’s child.

Emmett poured some hot water into her glass, “I’m to be blamed. You must have been startled by the

words I said last night.

After coming back, Emmett reminisced about it and realized that his words were so abrupt and rude.

But since Stella had agreed to it, he would not go back on his words.

Stella pressed her lips, “Emmett, actually, I…”

Emmett smiled, “I know. The reason why you accept me so quickly was that you were in a fit of pique

because of Clarence.”

Stella was a bit stunned. She didn’t deny it and simply said, “I’m sorry.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m happy if it has helped you.” Emmett continued, “Stella, I don’t know whether it’s

appropriate to say this or not. Over the past several years, I have been thinking that you’re having a

good life and maybe you’ve married Horace after graduation. But I haven’t expected that I would get

the news of his engagement with Annie.”

“When I learned about that, I have a complicated feeling. On the one hand, I feel happy secretly. On

the other hand, I couldn’t help wondering what happened between you two and guessing what feelings

you would have. Actually, I never think of getting anything. I just feel that it would be enough for me if I

can see you living happily.”

Emmett suddenly chuckled, “But only until yesterday did I learn that you didn’t live well over the past

years.”

Stella curled her lips into a smile and said in a relaxing tone, “It’s natural since life is full of ups and

downs. At least I’m so happy now. And those things have all been the past.”

Emmett knew that Stella had never changed – she was stubborn and optimistic and she would never

tell anyone about her sufferings and pains.

Stella had been a stunning beauty when she was a student. Therefore, many boys tried to pursue her.

However, she would refuse them politely with a smile no matter they sent gifts to her or invited her to

have a meal together.

Stella would come to a convenience store that was one street away from the school every day. Except

for the school, she spent most of her time in that store. And it was the source of all her earnings.

At the beginning, Emmett had no impression of her and he only knew that she was a beautiful girl.

But one day, when he walked pass the convenience store, he saw a drunken man asking her to give

him money. He guessed that Stella just got her wage.

She took out several notes from her bad and handed them to the man. The man was not satisfied and

he wanted to grab the money in the envelope.

Stella said in an extremely resolute tone, “This is the living expense for me and Channing for the next

month. I won’t give it to you.”

The man cursed at her hardly, but Stella’s expression didn’t change.

Judging from that man’s cursing words, Emmett guessed that he was Stella’s father.

The man left while cursing at her, but it seemed like she was not sad at all. After his leaving, she just

took a deep breath and wore a smile on her face again and then walked into the convenience store to

work.

At that time, Emmett seemed to be driven by a mysterious force and he slowly walked into the store.

With a high ponytail, the girl made an inventory with a dedicated and serious look.

When Emmett was about to walk forwards, Horace came to find her and called her name.

She turned around with a bright smile.

Emmett paused and then slowly retrieved his foot.

From then on, Emmett knew that he could not stay by her side for the rest of his life and that he could

only watch her at a distance.

But now, he was granted with such an opportunity again.

He didn’t step forwards back then, but now, he wanted to work hard for it.

When Emmett was about to say something, an indifferent voice sounded, “Mr. Carter, what a

coincidence.

Clarence didn’t think that he was an outsider. He directly sat down beside Stella and said in a flat tone,

“Mr. Carter, I think you’ll not mind me sharing this table with you, right? To express my sincerity, I will

pay for your expenses here tonight.”

Both Emmett and Stella were rendered speechless.

Clarence took the menu from the waiter and ordered several dishes. He then added, “One more fish

soup.”

The waiter wanted to tell him that fish soup was not available in this restaurant, but the manager

quickly walked over and said, “All right. Mr. Conrad, do you want anything else?”

Clarence said in a flat tone, “Put some Houttuynia Cordata in the soup.”

“Please wait for a moment. I will let the cooks prepare it right away.”

After the manager’s leaving, Stella suppressed her temper, stood up and said to Emmett, “I’m finished.

Let’s go.”

Emmett nodded his head. He stood up and gestured a waiter to come over and told him that he wanted

to pay the bill. He then said to Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, I will treat you this meal today.”

Clarence slightly pressed his thin lips together and grabbed Stella’s hand.

Stella said in a cold voice, “Please don’t touch me, Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence said, “You like eating fish soup the most. Leave after finishing it.”

“I liked it before, but it doesn’t mean that I still like it now.”

“Even if you don’t like it now, it doesn’t mean that you won’t like it in the future.” His tone of voice was

emotionless, but the words he uttered had a connotation.

Stella was rendered speechless.

This wretched man was in higher spirits.

Stella flung off his hand with a great force, “Enjoy it by yourself.”

It would be best if he would be stuffed to death.

She quickly left the restaurant after finishing the words.

After paying the bill, Emmett turned around and fixed his eyes on Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, don’t you

think your behavior ridiculous?”

Clarence looked up at him calmly, “I don’t think so.”

Emmett continued, “Mr. Conrad, have you heard of this sentence: late confession is cheaper than

grass.”

After finishing the words, Emmett slightly nodded at Clarence and then left in strides.

Right at this moment, the manager of the restaurant walked over, “Mr. Conrad, should I serve the

dishes you order just now.”

Clarence replied, “Pack them up.”

“Okay.”

Two minutes later, Nathan walked into the restaurant in strides, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad and Mr.

Carter have left.”

Clarence replied with a nasal sound. He didn’t say anything.

Nathan asked tentatively, “Should I follow them?”

“No need.” Clarence, “I guess he’s sending her home.”

Moreover, he had achieved his goal today.

Twenty minutes later, the manager walked to him with several take-out boxes, “Mr. Conrad, sorry for

keep you waiting for long.”

They then left the restaurant. Even though Clarence didn’t give an order, Nathan knew what he should

do next.

He directly entered Stella’s domicile into the GPS system.

Right at this moment, Nathan suddenly heard Clarence’s emotionless voice, “Is grass cheap?”

Nathan was rendered speechless.
