Dolores and Evelyn were out for the entire afternoon.

With constant practice and learning, Stella was now capable enough to take care of a baby.

Baby slept most of the time and played while awake. She let Clarence prepare the formula when it was time to feed.

Although that wretched man seemed cold with stiffened face, he didn’t reject it.

The afternoon sunlight fell onto his face, Stella had a sudden feeling that they were a family of three, everything felt so natural to her…

Noticing her stare, Clarence asked, “What happened?”

Stella bit her lips and stood up, “Take care of the child, I need a minute.”

She then walked out from the yard without waiting for Clarence’s response.

After a few minutes walked, she arrived at the pond where Clarence and she took a boat tour last time.

She sat down under a tree and looked far away, sunken into deep thoughts.

Footsteps were heard from behind after a while, a tall figure stood beside her.

Stella took a deep breath, “Why are you here? Didn’t you have a baby to take care of?”

“He’s asleep, there’s nothing to be taken care of, he can’t run away.” Clarence stared at her from the side. “If I’m not here, you will be the one who runs away.”

Stella lowered her eyes, “I just need some fresh air.”

She then looked at Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, can you please leave me alone, I don’t want to see you now.”

Clarence replied coldly, “Since when have you wanted to see me?”

Stella, “…” He was right.

But she felt annoyed now and even more annoyed looking at him.

Stella said sternly, “I’m serious. I just want to be alone now.”

At this moment, the small boat parked beside the pond asked if they wanted to go onboard.

Stella replied and stepped down, she turned to Clarence, “Don’t follow me, take it as a charity act.”

Clarence, “…”

The boat went away slowly after Stella boarded. Clarence looked away once Stella disappeared from his sight.

Nathan appeared out of nowhere and asked, “Mr. Conrad, should I follow?”

“No," Clarence replied.copy right hot novel pub
