Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

In the hall, only the coldness of the departing guests remained.

Drinks and pastries have not even had time to clean up, full of wreckage.

Elaine did not see anyone downstairs and immediately ran to the second floor. She stared at the half-open study

door, as if in a trance, she saw a bloodstain spreading out, and she felt her mind go blank, leaving only the sound of

her own violently restless gasps.

Elaine walked past as if on her last consciousness, and with each step she took, she became more fearful.

Just as she was about to enter the study, her wrist was gripped.

Elaine turned her head, her eyes unfocused, looked at him blankly, opened her mouth, and only after a long time

did she make a sound: "Is my dad ...... in there?"

Darnell took her shoulders in both hands and spoke in a calm tone, "You get out of here first."

Elaine shook her head and mumbled, "I'm going to go find my dad ......"

As she spoke, she recklessly pushed Darnell out of the way and stumbled into the study.

The floor of the study, full of blood, and her father, fell in a pool of blood, with a quiet face, as if he was asleep.

And in his hand, he was still holding the doll she had given him the night before.

Elaine was deeply stung by the scene in front of her eyes, she hurriedly ran over and sat on her knees next to

Franklin, crying and pushing his arm: "Daddy, you get up, don't scare me, okay, I promise, I'll be good from now on

and never make you angry again, this time it's really, really... ...I have promised you to leave Riverside City, I can

also ...... never come back in the future, I listen to you, you beg you to get up quickly ......"

To one side, Archer looked at Elaine and then at Darnell, probably not expecting her to return suddenly.

Darnell stood in the doorway, his thin lips pursed.

Elaine was sobbing uncontrollably and her words were broken, but no matter what, her father would never wake up

again.

At this time, Clarence also arrived, he looked at this scene inside, his dark eyes narrowed.

Darnell spoke up, "I thought I told you to take her straight away."

Clarence withdrew his eyes: "She was crying and clamoring to get off, so what could I do."

Archer see these two people actually chatted on the sky, look like there is no intention to manage, can only take up

the big responsibility themselves, walked over to pull Elaine up: "Okay, people can not come back to life, you

confess here is useless, and your father can not hear."

Elaine was crying up and down, and was made even more uncomfortable and painful by his words.

She hated herself for not listening to her father, for always singing against him with his affection, for not knowing

anything at all.

Although she knew that it was all her fault, Archer had to use such a relaxed tone, not knowing whether he was

comforting her or mocking her.

It is as if human sorrow and joy are not inherently connected.

Without a word, Elaine pushed him away and knelt beside her father, and did not speak, just wept silently.

Archer was at his wits' end, about to cast a pleading glance at the two men at the door, when Darnell had already

lifted his leg and walked over, crouching on one knee in front of Elaine: "Elaine, let's get out of here, okay?"

Elaine's eyes were full of tears, "But you promised me that my dad would be okay ......"

Darnell whispered, "I'm sorry."

Elaine shook her head gently, she wasn't looking for an apology from him, and she knew the situation was never

hers to control, she just wanted her dad to come back alive.

Archer did not expect Darnell also can not help, then can only make the killer: "your father's body, can not be put

so, have to send to the funeral home. If you really have that filial piety, give him two more columns of incense and

burn more paper money in the future."

Elaine couldn't stand it: "Your mouth, how can you say such icy words!"

Archer: "......"

He was just telling the truth, why is it cold?

Archer was about to speak again when Darnell swept a look over, he immediately shut up and took two steps back

to say no more.

Darnell forcibly pulled Elaine up and carried her in his arms as he headed out the door.

Elaine had probably never resisted his approach so much except when she didn't want to marry him, and she

struggled hard: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying with my dad!"

Darnell said, "Didn't you just swear that you'd listen to your dad from now on and promise him you'd leave Riverside

City."

"Provided my dad can wake up ......"

Darnell coldened his voice: "Elaine, you should know what your father wants most, do you think that you crying here

now would be what he would like to see?"

Elaine was instantly silent, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Darnell lifted his hand and wiped the tears from her face, "Okay, listen, get out of here first, and I'll pick you up

when all this is taken care of here."

Elaine turned her head and looked at her dad with reluctance for one last time.

She murmured, "Did my dad know this was going to be the day, and that's why he tried to arrange for me to leave

early ......"

Darnell didn't answer, just said, "Let's go."

Elaine turned around and went downstairs, each step extremely slow, tears falling down one after another, unable

to finish wiping them away.

After re-sitting in the car, she leaned quietly against the window and looked out with a lax gaze, without a glow.

Clarence sat next to her and spoke slowly, "Why are you not crying?"

Elaine said, "Don't you think I'm too noisy."

"Depends on the situation."

Elaine didn't say anything, just kept wiping her tears.

Clarence didn't say anything else, and blandly ordered, "Drive."

......

The plane landed at City N at 2:00 am.

Elaine looks at the city she used to love, but now she can't get the slightest bit of interest.

Why would she ever be so stupid as to desperately try to leave Riverside City?

It was her home, the place where she grew up.

There was her great grandfather, and her father.

And now there is no going back ......

When they arrived at Star Lake Mansion, Stella had not slept and was waiting for them.

Seeing Elaine come in with red eyes, she went up and asked, "Elaine, how ......"

Before Stella could say anything, Elaine hugged her tightly and cried as hard as she could.

Stella sighed and patted her back, silently comforting her.

Clarence stood by and spoke slowly, "Keep your voice down, don't wake the baby up."

Although Elaine was in pain and sad, she reduced her voice in the end.

When she was tired of crying, Stella sent her to her room: "Elaine, don't think about anything else, get a good

night's sleep."

Elaine hugged the blanket and nodded sullenly.

Stella patted her on the shoulder, then turned off the light and exited the room.

Elaine rolled over and quietly looked out the window. The moon was high in the sky and it was clearly supposed to

be a nice day.
