Stella just could not fall asleep.

Maybe it was due to the strange environment that she couldn’t help thinking about the reasons why Channing acted so brutally. Though she had had a cup of hot milk, she just kept getting more and more agitated.

Then she chose to got up and stroll in the room, trying to calm herself down.

As she was taking a deep breathe, she heard the door opened.

It was Clarence. Seeing what she was doing, he asked, “Are you hungry?”

Stella shook her head, “No, I am not hungry. I just couldn’t fall asleep.”

Clarence loosened his tie with one hand and threw it onto the sofa before he walked over to her and patted her head softly, “Just because I’m not with you?”

Stella smiled and pushed him gently, “Well, you should take a shower first. Have you had dinner yet? I will make something for you.”

“No, you don’t have to. I will take a shower first.” Clarence turned away and took the lid of a small box on the bedside table. In the box there was a wood cube and Clarence dripped one or two drops of oil which was used to soothe the nerves.

A faint fragrance of wood was sent over immediately, conveying a sense of coolness and calmness.

And it was quite comfortable to smell.

Stella took out some clothes from the wardrobe. Clarence took those clothes and gave her a gentle kiss before she said slowly, “You don’t have to wait for me. You should go to bed early.”

Stella nodded, “I know.”

Seeing Clarence headed into the bathroom, Stella lied back on the bed. Maybe the oil worked. She finally felt a little sleepy.

She yawned and closed her eyes slowly.

After a while, she found herself in a warm embrace.

Stella was still conscious right now. She mumbled. “Elaine said you had gone out together with Archer …”
