Stella closed her eyes. Several minutes later, she felt that the place beside her sank.

At the next moment, the man lay down beside her. His body was warm.

When Stella prepared to move towards the edge of the bed, Clarence put one arm on her waist and asked in a low voice, “Why do you sleep with many clothes? You even cover yourself with the quilt. Aren’t you hot?”

“I’m not hot.” Of course it was not real.

Stella felt hot, stuffy and even breathless.

Clarence didn’t say anything again and just hugged her tightly.

After a short while, Stella heard the man’s even and stable breath.

She slightly turned her head and asked tentatively, “Mr. Conrad.”

There was still silence.

It seemed like he really had fallen asleep.

Stella heaved a sigh of relief, gingerly took away his arm and then left his arms.

Sitting on the bed, she took a glance at the sofa and then at the wretched man who was sleeping. In the end, she made a concession.

She took off her coat and then lay back onto the bed again. When she lay down, she tried her best to keep a distance with Clarence.

Stella opened her eyes widely. She was so sleepy just now, but now she became sleepless.

It was reasonable. How could she not feel nervous in the face of such a strong opponent?

Even if she managed to enter the Steward family later, Charles and Phoebe would only be more precautionary against her.

It was not that easy for her to find out the truth.

When Stella was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly felt a weight on her waist. That wretched man put his arm on her waist again.

Stella, “…”

She said angrily, “Mr. Conrad, please don’t move towards me again. I almost fall down from the bed.”

Clarence didn’t reply.
