Since she came here, probably her mood and life became better. The doctor said that her baby developed quite steady and healthy in her belly.
As long as she waited for a few months peacefully, she could give birth.
When Stella arrived home, there was a finance newspaper in the yard.
She put the bag on the table and was about the take the knitting wool to Dolores. She caught a glimpse of two words in the newspaper: “Conrad Group”.
Recently, because of the marriage for convenience between Conrad Group and Jason Group, there was a tremendous shareholding change inside the former, which had been occupying the headline of the news for several days.
Stella guessed that Clarence must be too busy to have spare time. No wonder he didn’t have the energy to find her.
Right then, Dolores walked out of the house. Seeing that Stella was reading the news, she asked, “Why? Are you also interested?”
Stella immediately returned to her senses. She smiled, “Nah. I just read it at random.”
Dolores looked over at the newspaper. After a thought, she asked, “Are you from City N?”
Stella nodded, “Yes, I am.”
Dolores seemed to want to ask Stella something, but she swallowed her words on the tip of her tongue, “Have you bought the knitting wool?”
“Yep.”
Stella handed the bag to her. She said, “Ms. Anderson, I shopped for my clothes on the way back. I’ll wash yours before returning them.”
Dolores said indifferently, “Forget it. Just keep them. I won’t wear them anymore.”
After finishing her words, Dolores turned around and walked into the room.
In the evening, the tenant next door knocked on their door, “Good evening, Ms. Radomil and Ms. Anderson, I bought some desserts. It’s too much for Ms. Beckham and me, so I want to share them with you.”
Usually, the neighbors would always share things with each other. Stella didn’t overthink, so she accepted his kindness.
On the second day, she also bought some fruits on the way back home. Then she gave the fruits to them.
However, something that happened next truly surprised her.
“Hi, Ms. Radomil. This is my hometown specialty mailed by my mother. Please try it.”
“Ms. Radomil, my friend bought me some chocolates from overseas. I’m not into sweets. I’m sure you’ll love it.”
“Ms. Radomil, I got two movie tickets from my company. If you have time, shall we go see a movie tonight?”
Even if Stella was pretty slow, she sensed something wrong.
After Alexander Hans left, Stella turned around with the ticket in her hand, looking confused.
Dolores was knitting in front of the stone table, “This should be the fifth time that he came over and sent you something in the past two days, right?”
“It seems so...”
“This young man is pretty nice. I heard that his parents are teachers. He’s working in a state-owned company. His job is stable. He’s reliable.”
Stella was sitting next to her. For a moment, she lost her tongue.
Dolores looked up and cast her a glance, “Won’t you consider about him?”
Stella smiled, “Ms. Anderson, you don’t know my status yet. I’m...”
“You are pregnant, aren’t you? What’s so surprising about it?”
Upon hearing it, Stella widened her eyes, “How do you know it?”
“What’s so weird about it? There are a huge group of mid-aged women in town. All of us have given birth before. When you arrived here on the first day, all of us knew you are pregnant.”
Dolores added, “You came here to restart your life. Why do you still care so much about your past? Alex seems to like you a lot. If you want to consider him, you can ask him about his opinions on your pregnancy when seeing the movie with him tomorrow. Love is based on the choices of both parties. You can try to take a step forward.”
Stella said, “I’m afraid no man would accept it.”
“There’s always an exception. How would you know if you don’t have a try?” Dolores said, “You can make it clear and he would know the reason why you turn him down. If he accepts it, he will come to you. If not, it’s good as well. He won’t bother you again in the future.”
Stella was silent.
