Clarence said, “Answer my question first.”

Stella frowned. After a few seconds, she answered, “After he died, I found something in the box under his bed.”

“What did you find?”

“A few photos, one pocket watch, and Jeffrey Radomil’s diary.”

“What kind of pocket watch is it?”

Stella answered, “An ordinary one. Would there be any difference?”

Clarence said, “Of course. The producer and production series number are all useful flaws.”

Upon hearing it, Stella parted her lips, but she didn’t utter any word.

Clarence stared at her for a few seconds, pressing his thin lips slightly, “Don’t you want to find him?”

After a moment, Stella lowered her head and said, “I just don’t think it makes any sense.”

“Stella, it’s not the problem if it makes any sense. You should know the truth in the past.”

“What’s the use to know the truth? I just want to lead a peaceful life.”

Since she could remember anything, this had become her biggest wish.

In the fast, because of Jeffrey Radomil, her family was a mess. From time to time, the debtors would come to their house, yelling outside the door. All she could do was to lock the door and hold Chan tightly, not afraid to utter any sound.

Later, she met Clarence, making her messy life more difficult.

The man in the photo was a stranger to her completely. She didn’t remember her. She’d rather lead a peaceful life than finding out why her mother married Jeffrey with her over twenty years ago.

Clarence said, “It’s not the excuse for you to skip. Sometimes, the truth might be crueler than the reality, but I’ll always be with you.”
