Stella looked at the fish soup in the insulation pail and then looked out of the window subconsciously.

Although there was a heavy storm, she calmed down a lot

Not so many people would put the houttuynia cordata in the fish soup. Since she came back from Anqiao Street, whenever Alisa was making the fish soup, she would put this kind of herb in.

In other words, if she didn’t mistake, the soup should be delivered from Starry Lake Mansion.

She picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. It warmed up her tummy. The baby in her belly calmed down as well.

After finishing a bowl of fish soup, Stella felt that she was energetic again. She lay on the bed and suddenly felt that she wasn’t fighting alone anymore.

Looking at her cell phone, she hesitated for a moment. She recalled that Clarence warned her not to call him again at midnight, so she texted him: “Mr. Conrad, are you awake?”

Clarence didn’t reply to her, so she thought he was sleeping.

Stella exhaled. She put away the phone and closed her eyes.

However, before she almost fell asleep, her phone on the nightstand started vibrating.

She opened her eyes and swiped to answer.

On the other end of the line, Clarence’s voice was like being soaked in the cold rain. He said coldly, “What’s the matter?”

Stella bit her lower lip. After a moment of silence, she said, “Mr. Conrad, I’m terribly sorry.”

“Can your apology change anything?”

“No.”

“Then does it make any sense?”

Stella pinched her phone, her knuckles going white, “Mr. Conrad, I know you won’t forgive me. Since it has already happened, no matter what I said, it couldn’t be changed at all. Mr. Conrad, if you would vent your anger by scolding me, please go ahead. I’ll never retort.”

Clarence was speechless.

He said coldly, “Do you think I’m quite idle? Do you think I call you so late at night just for scolding you?”

Stella asked in a low voice, “Or what?”

She guessed that Clarence was so pissed by her that he couldn’t fall asleep tonight, so he called her.

Clarence sneered. He asked rudely, “Do you have anything? If not, I’ll hang up.”

“What?” For a moment, Stella didn’t return to her senses. After a pause, she said, “Mr. Conrad, please send my thanks to Alisa for the fish soup she made.”

“Anything else?”

After a moment of silence, Stella continued, “I know I’ve broken the agreement between us, but... I’m trapped in the Conrads’ Mansion, and I’ll try my best to get out of here. I would never let the baby in my belly become your trouble. Mr.copy right hot novel pub
