Clarence pulled Stella into the bathroom, took out the hairdryer, and gently blew her hair.

Stella leaned on the vanity and tilted her head to look at him, "You just said on the phone..."

He lifted her hair and sniffed it, "You changed your shampoo? It smells good."

Stella was annoyed.

She nudged him, "I'm serious, and I've been using this for a month."

Clarence raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to blow-dry her hair.

After a while, Stella was just about to say something when Clarence's voice sounded. "It's not that I don't want to tell you. I hope that you can always be happy like you are now. The past doesn't matter anymore."

After a moment of silence, Stella set her mouth in a grim line and said, "Is it about Chan's paternity test?"

Her father and Clarence's secrets were only something related to these feuds.

Clarence acquiesced.

Stella took the hairdryer, turned it off and put it aside. "I know. I won't ask."

It might have nothing to do with Emmett, but the truth was even more unacceptable according to their attitudes.

Clarence pulled her in his arms and whispered. "Go to sleep."

...

Half a year later.

As the Fashion Week drew nearer, Stella worked until two or three o'clock almost every day before bed.

To not bother Clarence and the three children, she would sometimes even sleep in the studio.

Clarence seemed to be busier than her.
