Seeing that Stella was taken aback, Clarence kissed her on her forehead, “All right. Don’t worry about him. It’s his own business. He’s a grownup now. It’s the psychological disorder that he needs to overtime it by himself.”
Stella shook her head gently, “It’s not a psychological disorder.”
“Jeffrey Radomil and Channing are different individuals. Jeffrey Radomil has nothing to do with what Channing was doing. Since Channing can’t let go of it, he always feels he has owed you a lot, and his existence is an error. He also feels that he’s a filthy man because of Jeffrey Radomil’s blood in his body. He must overcome those thoughts,” Clarence explained.
Stella looked at him. She asked after a long while, “What if he can’t?”
Clarence said, “If he can’t, he’ll be trapped by those things and never make any progress again.”
“Hence, he has pushed all the blames of those things that have happened in the past and have nothing to do with him. Then he wants to give up all he has to make up for everything, right?”
Meeting her gaze, Clarence hummed to answer after a long while.
“Do you think he will let go of it after he has finished doing all things?” asked Stella again.
“Probably he can.”
Stella was silent for a moment. Then she continued, “I got it. I will make time to talk to Chan.”
Clarence said indifferently, “Those thoughts had already rooted and sprouted in his heart. Your conversation might not work.”
“I have to try anyway.”
Clarence pulled her into his arms, “All right. Your question time is up. Let’s go to bed.”
Stella nestled her head on his chest in silence.
People were always like this - they could always see the nature of other people’s matters.
However, when facing their own matters, they couldn’t convince themselves at all.
That was why a bystander saw through everything.

After Channing drove Winnie home, Winnie got down. She said, “Hurry up and go home. It’s almost dawn.”
Channing gripped the steering wheel and turned to look at her, “Will your drive come back tomorrow?”
Winnie didn’t understand what he meant. She nodded and answered, “Yes, he will.”
Channing didn’t say anything else, “See you tomorrow.” He started the engine.
Winnie waved at him, “See you tomorrow. Be careful when driving home.”
After that, she turned to walk into the community.
Channing gazed at her receding figure for a long time. Then he drove away.
As soon as Winnie walked out of the elevator, she saw the man waiting at her door. She frowned, “Why are you here again?”
The man put off the cigarette in his hand, “I’ve asked the program team. Your filming finished a long time ago. Why are you back so late?” he asked.
“None of your business.”
As Winnie spoke, she was about to unlock the fingerprint lock.
The man grabbed her arm and said, “Winnie, please give me one more chance, OK? I’ve divorced her already. I didn’t mean to hurt you back then. I didn’t know she would be so crazy...”
Winnie looked at him expressionlessly, “I have no interest in your family business. Please leave. Or I’ll call the police.”
The man snorted, “If you want the topic that you and I went to the police station together at night to go on the trends, I don’t mind.”
Winnie frowned more deeply, “What is wrong with you?”
“Yes, I’m sick. Do you know how I spent my past few years? I’ve been thinking about you all day long. I also wondered what was wrong with me.”
