Chapter 453: Life of the Ordinary

Stella finally got rid of Clarence’s confinement with great effort and then walked to the kitchen, “What
do you want to eat? I’m in a good mood today. Let me cook something for you.”

Clarence chuckled, “You are the one who wants to eat something. Yet you said you wanted to cook for
me, huh?”

Stella ignored him, “Just tell me whether you want to eat it or nor.”

“Of course.” Clarence fixed his black eyes on her, “I’m not picky and I can eat everything.”

Stella was rendered speechless.

Did he believe in his own words?

Stella opened the refrigerator, yet only found few useful food materials. Luckily, last time, there were
still several boxes of spaghetti that she bought last time for convenience.

She decided to cook this.

Stella put some water into the pot. She then noticed that her luggage case was still in the living room
and said, “Clarence, do me a favor, please keep an eye on the pot and call me when the water is
boiled.”

Clarence groaned an answer from afar.

Stella turned around and found that he was having a call.

She guessed it was something related to work and thought there wouldn’t be any problem for Clarence
to keep an eye on the fire while talking into the phone.



Stella opened her luggage case, squatted down, took out the clothes and found they all had the smell
of smoke. She then picked up the pile of clothes and put them into the washing machine.

She poured some laundry detergent, turned on the tap and then turned around and came back to the
living room.

Clarence, who was standing in the kitchen, was wearing a white shirt and a black business suit. The
top button of his shirt was unclasped. With one hand in his pocket, he took the phone with the other
hand and talked into the phone in a bland tone while sparing glances to the pot of water on the gas
stove from time to time.

Seeing that the water was boiling, he took out his hand from the pocket and turned the fire down to the
minimum.

During the whole process, he was still talking with the person at the other end of the phone and their
conversation showed no pause.

Although it was an insignificant action, he did it in an extremely natural manner.

In an instant, Stella seemed to realize how life of the ordinary was like.

Whoever saw Clarence would think that he was an indifferent person in nature at the first sight of him.
It seemed like his cold aura was oozed from his cold body, preventing everyone from approaching him.

But after getting alone with him for several days, people would find that he just appeared to be cold and
sharp-toned, but he didn’t treat other people differently. Whoever annoyed him would be satirized by
him.

Before when living in Anqiao Street, Stella thought that Clarence was lofty like the king looking at his
people on a high throne. Nevertheless, he got along well with the neighbors in Anqiao Street.



Although he always wore a cold expression, the neighbors still liked him.

Stella remembered that he once told her that he grew up in a similar environment.

Stella suddenly felt that Clarence wasn’t as cold-blooded as he was now in his childhood. According to
Dolores’ description, he only had a sharp tone when he was young. However, after moving into the
Conrads’ Mansion, a place full of conflicts and schemes, he had to strengthen himself and pretended to
be strong so as to protect himself.

Then bit by bit, he grew into the horrifying CEO of the Conrad Group.

As a matter of face, everyone’s life is difficult.

When Stella was lost in her thoughts, Clarence, who was originally talking into the phone in the kitchen,
had finished the call. He walked towards her and their gazes met in the air. Clarence curled his lips into
a smile, “Am I that good-looking?”

Clarence pulled herself together and cracked a grin. She laughed awkwardly and asked, “Mr. Conrad,
come on, until now do you realize that your appearance is so stunning?”

Clarence was rendered speechless.

Before he could say something, Stella walked past him, opened the box of spaghetti on the marble
counter and put the spaghetti into the pot.

Looking at her back, more and more smiles gathered in Clarence’s black eyes.

Stella cooked the spaghetti and walked out with two plates of spaghetti. But she found Clarence was
not in the living room and heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.

Stella put the plates on the table and poured two glasses of water.



Why couldn’t this man eat something just cooked?

Sitting in the living room, Stella felt a bit boring. She pondered for a while and then took out her phone
and dialed Sherry.

Stella asked, “Sherry, have you gone to the bed?”

“Not yet. I’m reading news. Charles, oh no, I should call him Lyndon now, that evil man’s true face is
finally exposed. I have to say that the things happened tonight are so interesting! If I had expected this,
I would go to the scene to watch this show.”

Stella chuckled, “Is not that interesting. It’s just a farce.”

She paused and then asked, “Where’s Daniel? Is he with you now?”

Sherry pouted when hearing this, “Nope. He won’t come to find me again.”

“Oh, why?”

Sherry heaved a sigh emotionally, “Actually I haven’t told you one thing because I don’t want you to
worry about me. Now that this matter has come to an end, it won’t matter for me to tell you now. Do you
remember that Daniel pursue me before? Actually we two were acting. At that time, Charles, oh no,
Lyndon, ordered his men to follow Daniel. Fearing that he might bring troubles to you, Daniel pretended
that he was pursuing me and moved his office adjacent to our studio.”

Stella didn’t expect this was the truth. She subconsciously knitted her brows, “Sherry…”

“It doesn’t matter. You don’t need to feel sorry for me. Many things have happened recently, but I
couldn’t help you in any aspect. Just regard it as my pygmy effort.” Sherry continued, “All in all, this is



the case. I and Daniel were acting before. Now that Lyndon’s men have stopped watching him, we
should suspend acting now.”

Stella moved her lips trying to say something, yet was suddenly lost for words.

After a long while, she said, “Sherry, I’m sorry.”

“I told you not to be courteous with me. Oh, my mom is calling me. Let’s stop here. We can talk in the
studio tomorrow if there is any other matter.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Stella clenched her phone. After a while of silence, she dialed Daniel.

Daniel only received the call when the ringtone was going to come to an end, “Ms. Radomil, what’s the
matter?”

Hearing the noises from the other end of the phone, Stella asked, “Are you still outside?”

“Yep. Lyndon ran away and I’m now looking for him.”

They had expected that Lyndon would take the helicopter when escaping, so Daniel and his men had
been waiting in the helicopter hardstand. But they didn’t expect that foxy man would jump out of the car
on the way there. They had to admit that Lyndon was really cunning.

Daniel continued, “Ms. Radomil, please rest assured. I will find him.”

Stella replied, “Thank you.”

It was inappropriate for her to ask about other matters under such a circumstance. Stella thought she
could leave the matter until they came to the studio tomorrow.



Stella didn’t bother Daniel again. Just as she ended the call, Clarence walked out of the bathroom.

He randomly tucked his wet black hair and asked, “Who are you talking with?”

“Daniel. He told me he’s chasing after Lyndon.”

Clarence sat opposite to him, “It’s just like flogging a dead horse. Now that Lyndon could jump out of
the car on the way to there, he must have prepared for this in advance and now he must have found a
perfect place to hide himself. How can he catch him so easily?”

Several seconds later, Stella asked, “Except for Emmett, do you know who else is with Daniel?”
