Under the moonlight in silence, Stella saw the man’s straight nose bridge, thin lips, and harsh outline of his chin.

He looked up slightly as if he was looking at the sky. He didn’t notice her appearance.

In the conditional reflex, Stella turned around and wanted to run away. However, she saw Nathan standing not far away from her, nodding.

She could only turn around and walked to Clarence. Finally, she stood in front of him, “Hi, Mr. Conrad. Why are you here?”

Clarence didn’t change his gesture. His voice sounded peaceful and lonely in the darkness, “Shall I ask Nathan to give you my schedule?”

Stella was speechless.

If he didn’t want to tell her, she didn’t care at all. He didn’t need to be so sarcastic, did he?

Stella wondered why he was doing here. After standing for a moment, she asked tentatively again, “Mr. Conrad, when did you come here? Have you had dinner yet? If not, I can...”

“When he said ‘my parents are teachers in the county of my hometown’.”

Stella frowned, “You eavesdropped on our conversation, didn’t you?”

Clarence slowly turned around and looked at her expressionlessly, “I just happened to overhear it. If you are afraid of being eavesdropped, why didn’t you close the door and have a private talk?”

Stella inhaled deeply. She tried to ignore him.

Clarence continued, “I didn’t expect you are so popular in men. Horace Jason just got engaged, some other man fought hard to be the father of your baby. It happened so seamlessly.”

“I’m so flattered, Mr. Conrad. I don’t think I’m so comparable to your popularity in women.”

Clarence was choked up.

His gaze fell on Stella’s outfit, looking up and down. His handsome brows were creased slightly, “What are you wearing?”

Stella tossed her hair back. She looked away, “It’s fashion. You don’t know it.”

Clarence snorted. He stood up, tidied up his sleeves, bypassed her, and left.
