Chapter 553: I’m So Tired That I Don’t Want to Move

In the hot pot restaurant…

Clarence still didn’t show up when they finished the meal.

Stella dialed Clarence, yet only to learn that his phone was turned off.

Seeing this, Sherry asked, “Stella, what’s wrong?”

Stella put her phone back into her pocket and shook her head, “Nothing. Clarence told me that he will
come here just now, but…”

Daniel asked, “Did anything happen to the Conrad Group in these two days?”

“I think so. But when I asked Nathan about this today, he told me they are some insignificant interior
affairs and they’ve been solved.”

“Some insignificant interior affairs?”

Stella uncontrollably pressed her lips together when she heard the question. She guessed that Nathan
probably didn’t tell her about the truth. However, now that they didn’t want to talk too much about this,
she didn’t probe into it.

But based on Daniel’s attitude, it seemed like this problem was much more intractable than what she
had imagined.

Stella pondered for a while and then asked, “Do… Do you know something about the condition?”

Daniel replied, “I heard this afternoon that Clarence deployed all his men in these two days and
searched the whole City N. I’ve never seen this before. As for the details, I’m also not clear about them.
But I feel it’s something about the Conrad Group’s interior affairs.”



“Could it be that he’s looking for Lyndon?”

“It’s not likely because we’re mainly responsible for looking for Lyndon. Even when he was looking for
Phoebe back then, he didn’t use so many forces like this.”

Hearing their discussion, Sherry asked Stella in a low voice, “Could it be that he cheats you and raises
the other woman outside?”

Daniel twitched his mouth, “This is more impossible. But…”

Daniel seemed to think of something and suddenly paused. He knitted his brows, his expression
getting more serious.

Stella asked, “What do you know?”

Daniel’s expression returned to normal after a short while. He replied with a smile, “Nothing. It’s just
that I suddenly thought of something. It’s not important.”

Daniel took a glance at the clock, “Then let’s go.”

After walking out of the hot pot restaurant, Stella expressed farewell to Sherry and got into a car that
was parked by the roadside.

Sherry withdrew her gaze and asked Daniel, “You know what Clarence is doing, right?”

Daniel smiled awkwardly, “How can I know about his affairs?”

“Your reaction just now was abnormal. You must know something.”

Daniel was lost for words. Several seconds later, he replied, “Don’t think too much. I know nothing,
seriously.”



He received a piece of news that Stella’s child was probably alive and asked his men to investigate it
several times, yet they found no clue.

Daniel also tried to find some clues from Clarence, but Clarence didn’t give him any chance.

It was safe to say only Stella and that baby deserved Clarence to use all his forces just to find them.

But it was just his guess.

Moreover, based on Stella’s reaction, he guessed that she knew nothing of it. Therefore, he couldn’t tell
her about this secret under such a circumstance.

Originally this was Sherry’s trick. Seeing that she couldn’t get any information from Daniel, she pouted,
“Well.”

…

On the other side…

Sitting in her car, Stella dialed Nathan.

But it was Clarence to answer the call.

Stella paused when she recognized his voice and asked, “Didn’t you say you will come to have hot pot
together. Where are you now?”

Clarence replied in a flat down, “There was suddenly an emergency in the company, so I came back.”

Stella asked after a short while of silence, “Then why was your phone off?”

“It was out of power. I prepared to call you just now.”



“Will you come back tonight?”

“Nope. I have to deal with many things. Go to bed early.”

Stella replied with a simple answer and added, “Go on with your business, goodbye.”

Clarence replied, “Okay. Be careful when driving.”

After ending the call, Stella stared at the screen, pondered for a while and then started the car.

Stella went to the restaurant that Clarence usually visited, ordered some light dishes as takeout food
and then went to the Conrad Group.

The moment she got out of the lift, she bumped into Nathan.

Nathan was stunned as he didn’t expect to see her. He didn’t dare to look into her eyes, “Ms. Radomil.”

Noticing that Nathan didn’t dare to look at her, Stella asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable?”

Nathan laughed awkwardly, “A… A little bit, probably. Maybe it’s because I often worked overtime
recently.”

Stella thought of his salary and began to feel distressed for herself. “Where’s Clarence?” asked Stella.

“Mr. Conrad is…”

“Is he at a meeting?”

“No…Nope.”

Stella recalled that Nathan just walked out of the CEO’s office and said, “I see. Go on with your
business.”



Nathan stopped her, “Ms. Radomil.”

Stella turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Nathan replied, “Mr. Conrad is having a rest now. Shall you come tomorrow?”

“Not a big deal. I will leave after giving him these things and I won’t bother him.”

Looking at Stella’s back, Nathan heaved a long sigh. Even he would feel guilty in the face of Stella, not
to mention Mr. Conrad.

Stella gently pushed open the door of the office and popped out her head from behind the door.

Clarence was really sleeping on the sofa.

If her guess was right, Clarence hadn’t had a rest since last night.

He mustn’t have anything.

He was always like this when he was busy.

Stella walked towards him slowly and gently, put the paper bags on the tea table and picked up
Clarence’s jacket from aside.

She leaned forward, covered his body with the jacket and then fixed her eyes on him with the same
posture.

There were dark circles beneath his eyes.

She should boil some nutritious soup tonight and take it to the office to him tomorrow morning.

Stella stood up and prepared to leave, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed.



The man’s voice slowly sounded, yet he still didn’t open his eyes. “How comes you’re here?” asked
Clarence.

Stella replied, “I drove past here. Have you had the meal?”

“Not yet.”

“You haven’t had lunch, or simply dinner?” Stella paused and then added, “Or you haven’t had
breakfast either?”

Clarence curled his lips into a smile when he heard the question. He opened his eyes and glanced at
her, “Oh, seems like you care about me a lot.”

Stella ignored him and withdrew her hand from his grip. She took out the dishes from the paper bags
one by one and said, “Eat them. Even if you’re not exhausted from your work, you will be starved first.”

Clarence reached out to wrap her waist with both hands and pulled her into his arms, “Feed me.”

Stella was rendered speechless.

Clarence continued, “I’m so tired that I don’t want to move.”

“You said you don’t want to move, but you didn’t hesitate when taking advantage of me.”

Although Stella was complaining about it, she still picked up the folk and sent a piece of food to his
mouth.

But Clarence didn’t eat too much and claimed to be full a while later.

Stella sighed in her heart when looking at the leftover. He only finished half of them. Oh, never mind,
it’s better than not having anything.



Clarence said, “It’s late now. I will send you back.”

“Don’t bother.” Stella replied while cleaning the table, “I can go back myself. Go on with your business.”

Clarence fixed his eyes on her back. After a short while of silence, he asked, “Can you live in the Starry
Lake Mansion in the future?”

“I’ve read the news. The apartment was seriously burnt. Anyway, the decoration in the Starry Lake
Mansion has been finished. Of course, I can move into the mansion.”
