Chapter 331
Chapter 331
After Stella drove for a while, the rain started to fall heavily, with raindrops constantly beating against the windscreen in front of her.
She didn’t often drive, and because of the heavy rain and traffic jams, she drove a little more slowly. By the time she reached the house of the Steward family, an hour had passed.
As the car slowly drove into the house of the Steward family through the front gate, Stella thought that if Clarence hadn’t let her drive the car, she might have had to become wet in the rain to walk through the road today.
When she stopped the car in front of the main house, a maid immediately came over with an umbrella and shouted, “Ms. Radomil.”
Stella smiled, “Thank you.”
The maid didn’t answer her and silently retreated again.
From the way she walked from the door to the stairs, Stella could feel that the attitude portrayed by the maids in the Steward family towards her had changed a lot.
Although it could not be said they were treating her much better, they would greet her now, unlike ignoring her when she reached there in the morning. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Stella did not know if Phoebe and Charles were away or had already gone back to their rooms. When she entered the bedroom, she found that the things she had put on the table seemed to have been moved.
She pursed her lips and checked carefully to make sure everything was still intact before she locked the door and went into the bathroom.
It seemed that she wasn’t the only one who wanted to come to the house of the Steward family to investigate things this time. The members of the Steward family were also investigating her.
After taking a shower, Stella came out and started flipping through the context related to the designer competition.
After she read for a while, her phone rang. It was Sherry calling her.
Stella picked up the phone, “Sherry, what’s wrong?”
Sherry said, “Nothing. I’m packing up my things. I want to rest for a while and ask you how you’re doing over there.”
“Not too bad.” Stella paused for a while and added, “Are you packing up so early?”
“Yes, you may not believe me. I met Daniel in the lift again when I came back this afternoon. I suddenly understand the doomed love between you and Mr. Conrad that you can meet him everywhere you go. I have contacted the moving company. I’m moving out early in the morning tomorrow. I really can’t stay here at all!”
The corner of Stella’s mouth twitched and she didn’t know what to say. Only after a while did she say, “Ask the people from the moving company to send two more people to move my things over there as well. I’ll come over to get them once I have settled the things here.”
Sherry was puzzled, “Hadn’t you moved all your things away?”
Stella displayed a puzzled look as she didn’t understand Sherry’s words.
“Mr. Conrad sent someone here to move your things away. He just left not long ago. I thought you asked him to come.”
Stella was speechless.
She thought that the wretched man really kept the secret well as he didn’t tell her anything about that at all!
Sherry asked tentatively, “He wouldn’t have secretly moved away your things without telling you, would he?”
Stella laughed dryly, “Forget it, just go to his place and move away my things again.”
“Don’t you plan to live with him?”
“I will decide it later.”
She knew that one might develop a bad relationship with his or her close friend when they lived together. If she lived with Clarence, she would be pissed off at him before she could wait for the day she died of old age.
It seemed that as long as they lived together, it wouldn’t be easy as it was now. They would inevitably face some problems she didn’t want to face.
Sherry talked to Stella for a while before hanging up the phone and continuing to pack her things.
She had just finished packing a paper box when the doorbell rang.
Thinking it was the takeaway she had bought that had arrived, Sherry immediately ran over to open the door. However, after opening the door, she saw it was actually the man she didn’t want to meet standing outside.
Daniel keenly caught the emotion on her face, turning from displaying a joyful look to a cold look and lastly to a numb look.
Daniel displayed a puzzled look.
Sherry thought that she would move out anyway. It would be better if she didn’t make Emmett ashamed so she still could maintain a friendly relationship with her. She smiled faintly, “What’s the matter?”
Daniel coughed, “Can you return… the umbrella I lent you last time to me? It’s raining outside and I want to go out.”
When she heard this, Sherry was silent for a while, “I seem to have forgotten to take the umbrella here. It is left at my home. You can take mine to use it.”
Before she finished her words, Sherry took an umbrella from the side of the shoe cabinet and gave it to him.
Daniel took it but didn’t leave immediately.
Sherry said, “Is there anything else?”
“That umbrella…” Daniel displayed a gloomy look, “Is a relic that my mother left to me. Can you bring it to me the next time you go home?”
Sherry was stunned, “What?”
Daniel showed a sad look as he continued, “The umbrella was one of the last things my mother used before she died. I’ve carried it with me wherever I’ve gone over the years. Of course, I don’t mean to rush you, but if you remember, please bring it back for me. But if you forget to do so, it’s also okay. My mother has passed away for a long time and perhaps it is time for me to let go of her.”
Sherry was stunned hearing her words.
However, Daniel was a man who couldn’t be trusted. He had even said something like he believed in Buddha. She thought that he could also do other hilarious things.
Sherry tried her best to distinguish the emotions on his face, trying to confirm whether what he said was true or not.
But the sad look displayed by Daniel did not look like he was lying.
Oh shit!
Sherry laughed dryly, “Since this umbrella is so important to you. How about this. I’ll call my mother later and ask her if she’s seen it. Then, I will ask her to send it to me. I will make sure it won’t be damaged in any way when she brings it here.”
Daniel nodded his head gently, “Thanks a lot.”
“You are welcome. It’s my responsibility.”
After closing the door, Sherry let out a long breath. Then, she went into her bedroom to change her shirt. She looked around and closed the door extremely gently before quickly running into the lift.
She drove all the way to the airport and went to the lost and found to ask the staff if they had found an umbrella in the dustbin the other day.
The staff said, “It’s all here. Look for it and see if you’ve lost it.”
Sherry thanked her. However, after looking back and forth several times, there was no umbrella that Daniel had given her.
Sherry stood still, feeling that she was in trouble for a moment.
She shouldn’t be so impulsive at that moment. Even he was a bastard who played with her, she was the one who approached him in the first place anyway.
In any case, Daniel had kindly lent her the umbrella. It was his mother’s relic, and she shouldn’t throw it away.
On the way back, Sherry was a little distracted the whole time as she was blaming herself.
When she arrived downstairs, Sherry parked her car and walked down the basement. She was lost in thought.
After entering the lift, she suddenly saw the umbrella held by the person next to her was almost identical to the one Daniel had lent her earlier.
Sherry was delighted and she wondered if surprises really came by accident.
She really didn’t expect there was such a fate.
Sherry spoke politely, “Hello, can I buy this umbrella from you. It’s a relic of my friend’s mother. I…”
