Sherry gaped on the other end of the line.
After a ten-second silence, she said formally, “Hello, Mr. Conrad. I’m Stella’s new friend. My name is Sofia Cooper.”
Clarence answered indifferently, “Really?”
“Yeah, for real. Haha... Nice to meet you, Mr. Conrad. I won’t be disturbing you, then.”
After finishing her words, Sherry hung up the phone as soon as possible.
The call ended after a few beeps. Then the room fell into a dead silence.
This was the first time that Stella wished she could vanish from this world. The man’s eyes were black and deepened, as cold as a pool. She withdrew her gaze, moving down bit by bit as if she wanted to escape through the space between him and the chair.
However, when she just had the thought, Clarence folded his arms. She almost moved into his arms.
Stella paused. Immediately, she sat back into the chair. She looked out of the window, “Haha... Mr. Conrad, look out...”
“Don’t you explain?”
Stella rolled her eyes fast, wondering how she could explain.
She couldn’t tell him that that was his nickname, couldn’t she?
Besides, if he understood something, it was unnecessary to speak it out.
After a thought, Stella said seriously, “Mr. Conrad, you didn’t knock on the door.”
“I did.”
Stella was speechless.
Fair enough. She couldn’t find any of his faults.
While she was racking her brains to figure out how she could answer. Suddenly, Clarence withdrew his arms and stood up. He said flatly, “The milk is getting cold. Drink it.”
