Clarence stared at her and didn’t utter a word.

Under his gaze, Stella felt a bit uneasy. She looked away and coughed, “Mr. Conrad, if you don’t want to answer your question, please ignore it.”

After a while, Clarence said calmly, “Since you said so, I do regret it.”

“Mr. Conrad, if you regret it, you can go back to Phoebe Steward. It’s still not too late.” As she spoke, Stella stood up, “It’s quite late now. I’m taking off.”

After she took a few steps, her wrist was grabbed.

Clarence slightly increased his strength to grip her, and she fell into his arms.

Before Stella struggled, Clarence wrapped his arms around her waist, raising his brows, “Are you jealous?”

Stella said expressionlessly, “I’m too tough to be jealous.”

Clarence curled up his lips and intentionally or unintentionally glanced at her bosom, “You are quite tough indeed.”

Upon understanding his implication, Stella hurried raised her arms to cover her bosom, blushing. After a long while, she cursed, “You rascal!”

“Why did you curse me? Didn’t you say you are quite tough? I like it.”

Stella choked up.

She doubted if the wretched man was mentally ill.

She said crossly, “Let go!”

Clarence, however, tightened his arms around her waist. He pressed his chin on her shoulder and whispered, “Don’t move. I want to hold you.”

“Mr. Conrad, aren’t you jealous? Why don’t you hold Phoebe Steward?”

“All right. I was kidding with you. You don’t need to be jealous. Calm down.”

“I...”

Stella couldn’t utter any word for a moment.

Clarence said, “Wait for me for another half an hour. I’ll drive you home.”

“Mr. Conrad, aren’t you quite busy?”
