When having dinner, before the dishes were completely served, Sherry was already drunk. Dizzily, she asked, “Chan, when will your school open?”
“Next week.”
“Ah...” Sherry burped. “I didn’t expect that you’re already going to high school. I still remember when I first met you, you are this short, not even reaching my shoulder yet. In a blink, you’ve reached the age that you could become a father.”
Channing couldn’t find his tongue for a moment.
Stella scratched her hair. Sherry was way too drunk.
She sang and danced by herself from time to time.
Channing couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure she’s OK?”
“At least she should find a way to vent it.”
Sherry had always been optimistic, and she seldom took things to heart. When she was unhappy, she could go for a drink and recover on the second day. Seeing her like this, Stella knew that she was seriously hurt this time.
When Sherry finally lay prone on the desk motionlessly, Stella helped her up and asked in a low voice, “Sherry, let’s go home.”
Sherry looked at her with tearful eyes. “Boohoo... I don’t have a home now. That scumbag cheated on me. Stella, I don’t have a home now.”
Stella hugged her and comforted her.
After Sherry wept and blacked out, Stella and Channing sent her back home.
Channing put Sherry on her bed and asked, “Are you girls always like this after experiencing the disappointment in love?”
Stella answered, “Sort of. We need to vent our emotions.”
“Why didn’t you shed tears then?”
Stella was taken aback. “What?”
Channing looked at her. “You shouldn’t always hold back your emotions like this. It’s not good for your baby.”
“Chan, I’m fine...”
“I can tell that something’s bothering you. Has Clarence Conrad made trouble for you recently?”
Stella shook her head slightly. She smiled and asked, “What kind of trouble could he make for me?”
She was just bothered...
Liam’s words kept reechoing in her mind.
She had to admit that he was correct - the marriage in secret was the same as leading a life as a mistress.
Both were in the dark.
However, a mistress would receive money, but all she had got was only a bully.
Stella felt a bit annoyed - she had become so moody after being pregnant.
She said, “Chan, it’s getting late. Why don’t you go home now? I’ll stay here to take care of her.”
It seemed that Channing still wanted to say something, but Sherry bounced up from the bed, ran to the bathroom, and vomited.
Heaving a sigh, he said, “Okay, I’m taking off now. Call me if you need anything.”
Stella accompanied Sherry for a whole night. Liam came back at the midnight, but since the password of the lock had been changed by Sherry, he couldn’t open the door. He could only knock on the door outside. Immediately, Sherry wanted to rush out with a kitchen knife in her hands. Stella tried her best to stop her.
In the second half of the night, Sherry went to bed. Stella suddenly had a reaction to pregnancy. She puked several times in a row, feeling so terrible.
She was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought. After a while, she thought of the ringleader who made her suffer so much. She suddenly became bold. Holding Sherry’s landline, she dialed a number.
After a few beeps, the call was connected.
Stella immediately spoke, “Mr. Conrad, are you still awake?”
On the phone, she heard the man’s deep and hoarse voice. “Ehn?”
