After the man had finished talking, the child hugged Amanda’s leg, “Mummy, I miss you and little brother."
Amanda reacted quickly and immediately said, “I have already told you to let me calm down. You should figure out your mistakes and repent. Luckily, my parents have bought me a house before we got married or I would have nowhere to go with our baby when we had a quarrel!”
“Yes, yes, yes. What you have said is correct. It is all my fault, it is all my fault. I will definitely learn from my mistakes. I promise you that I will never make you angry again.”
Amanda said reluctantly, “I can’t be bothered to talk to you. There are guests today. I will settle the score with you later!”
After she had finished taking, she looked at Stella awkwardly and said, “Ms. Radomil, I feel bad for letting you see this embarrassing scene. You see the situation here…”
Stella replied, “That’s alright. I should apologize instead.”
She gathered her belongings and said, “Since you have things to do, I will not bother you all.”
Amanda said, “Do you need me to accompany you to the exit?”
Stella looked at the baby in Amanda’s arms, reached out to poke his cheeks and flashed a smile, “No need to trouble yourself. You should carry on with what you were doing.”
When she was leaving the house, she ruffled the boy’s hair. She then turned around and exited the house.
After the door had closed, Amanda and the man just now let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
However, the baby in Amanda’s arms started bawling uncontrollably.
Afraid that Stella could hear the baby’s cries, Amanda carried the baby to the baby’s room hurriedly.
When she reached the lift entrance, she heard the faint cries of a baby. But the cries disappeared all of the sudden.
She was rather absent-minded during her journey from the lift entrance to the residential area.
She wanted to tell herself she was too sensitive and had been overthinking the situation; the situation was not what she thought it was.
But the details of the situation resurfaced in her mind repeatedly without any reason.
Each of her doubts seemed to be cleared up one by one. However, things were getting harder to accept as things progressed.
How would such a coincidence happen?
She remembered Clarence had brought her to this place in spring. Could it be that Amanda quarrelled with her husband, brought the baby here and stayed with the baby at that time?
Even if Stella ignored the details and it was really a coincidence, Amanda’s husband had never once approached Amanda when she had been staying here with the baby for such a long time. However, her husband immediately came with a boy during Stella’s visit today.
This could not be considered as a coincidence anymore. It was apparent that everything was deliberately shown to her.
Sitting in her car, Stella leaned back in the driver’s seat and looked at the entrance of the residential area. She let out a sigh slowly and thought about something.
She waited in the car for two hours, but they did not come out of the entrance.
Stella closed her eyes and felt tired.
She could not decide whether she was overthinking the situation or they had gone to great lengths to hide everything from her.
It got to the point where it seemed impossible that they were faking it.
After a while, Stella finally gave up and drove her car away from the residential area.
After she had departed from the area, a person in a black sedan car parked not far away took out his phone and called a number, “Mr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil has already left the area.”
Clarence, who was on the other side of the phone, acknowledged his words softly. There was no emotion in his voice.
“Mr. Conrad, how should we handle this?”
Clarence paused for a while and said, “Tell them to move away today.”
But if we do that, after she has discovered the truth, Ms. Radomil will be even…”
Clarence said, “We can’t be bothered with such details. Tell them to move away first. We will discuss further when I return to the country.”
His subordinate answered, “Yes, sir.”
At the same time, in Italy.
Clarence put away his phone and pinched the bridge of his nose.
After she had entered her bedroom, Stella took a hot bath in the bathroom and then lay motionless on the bed.
After some time had passed, her phone which was left simply on the table started to vibrate and make piercing sounds.
Stella rolled over and covered her head with the blanket. She did not want to pick up the call.
But, the phone seemed to go against her wishes and kept on ringing. It rang repeatedly and annoyed Stella greatly.
She suddenly sat upright in bed and got up to pick up the call. While frowning, she said, “Aren’t you sleeping? It is late at night.”
Sensing the anger in her voice, Clarence paused for a while and replied, “It is still in the daytime here. Have you went to bed?”
Stella acknowledged his words and sat at the side of the bed, “I had been asleep just now but I was awakened by your call.”
“You sound angry. Who made you angry?”
Stella opened her mouth and felt the anger inside her. She hugged her pillow and said in an irritated tone, “Nobody. I am just in a bad mood.”
“Are you are in a bad mood without any reason?”
“Yes.”
Clarence said slowly, “Are you experiencing premenstrual syndrome?”
Stella could not think of a reply.
Could that wretched man be even more proficient in these phrases?
Stella took a deep breath and calmed herself down, “No. Maybe I am too stressed lately. I will feel better after having a good night’s sleep.”
“Aren’t you happy that you have qualified for the next stage of the competition?”
Stella replied, “I am stressed because I have entered the next stage. You would not understand me anyway.”
“Fine, I cannot understand you. If anything bad happens, tell me directly and don’t bottle up your negative emotions. I don’t want you to suffer alone.”
