Holding Noah, Clarence raised his eyebrows. "Of course, for looking after you."
Stella doubted because William wouldn't say once again in particular if it was so.
They must hide something from her.
Clarence caught her hand. "Let's go."
Noah was sullen in Stella's arms on the way home, pouting and taking the toys William gave him.
Stella lulled him for a long time before he was asleep.
Clarence said after a while, "Call me when you finished. I will pick you up."
Stella paused, "Will you be back to work?"
"Right."
"Got it."
Soon, they arrived at the hotel. Stella waved with Noah at him. "Take care. I am gonna go."
Clarence smiled, "Okay."
He dialed Nathan after Stella entered and said, "I need to see Mrs. Carter."
"Okay, I will soon arrange it."
An hour later, Mrs. Carter waited nervously in a bar, looking around with her hands placed on the table.
Finally, a man came over.
Seeing the young man, she stood up in surprise. "You are Mister…"
"Clarence Conrad."
Immediately, she fell back to the chair with her eyes widened.
Clarence strode in, sitting opposite her. "You should know why I was here, Mrs. Carter. Let's cut to the chase. I need an explanation about Channing's paternity test."
Mrs. Carter averted her eyes. "I don't know what you are talking about."
Clarence snorted, "I should see you in your husband's ward."
"No!" Mrs. Carter freaked out. "He has no more time to live. Don't disturb him."
With a neutral tone, Clarence leaned in the chair slowly. "That's why I have given you so much time. Emmett won't be able to see her father last time because of guilty if you insist on hiding the truth."
Mrs. Carter covered her face in grieving. "It's all my fault."
Clarence took the cup while waiting for her to finish talking.
