Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Stella was shocked and frightened by Clarence’s words ‘Do you like me’. They sounded like ‘when do

you want to die tonight’ and ‘how do you want to die’ in her ears.

She licked her lip that was broken by his teeth and tasted a light smell of alcohol. She then asked, “Mr.

Conrad, are you drunk?”

Clarence simply stared at her and didn’t reply.

Stella asked tentatively, “I guess you’re. Otherwise, why did you play such a joke with me?”

Clarence sneered and slowly let go of her. He withdrew his hand and unfastened his necktie, “You think

I’m joking with you?”

“Aren’t you?” Stella made an analysis with a serious expression, “Mr. Conrad, I don’t understand why

you asked me that question. What’s the meaning of it? If my answer is ‘YES’, you will think that I’m

coveting something that I shouldn’t dream of; if my answer is ‘NO’, you may think that I’m really

arrogant. It’s really hard for me to give you a satisfying answer. How’s this? Mr. Conrad, can you tell me

the answer you want to hear. I can give you an answer according to your preference.”

Clarence looked at her coldly, “When you were falling in love with Horace, did you attach great

importance to the gains and losses like you do just now.”

“No, I didn’t.”

It was because she had never fallen in love with Horace.

Moreover, she didn’t know what was wrong with this wretched man, so she must try her best to protect

herself.

Stella emphasized again, “Mr. Conrad, nothing has happened between me and Horace. Moreover, he

has engaged now. I hope that you’ll not wrong our relationship again and again.”

Clarence asked in a flat tone, “Really?”

“Of course.”

“Now that your relationship is so pure, who inspired you to design the ‘Puppy Love’ Series?”

Stella, “…”

She retorted him, “It is targeted at the public and it’s not for anyone. Mr. Conrad, why are you clinging

to its name? Could it be that you’re also jealous?”

Clarence slightly pressed his thin lips together, his eyes becoming gloomy.

Stella suddenly felt that her question was brusque and it seemed like she was seeking death. When

she was pondering how to relieve the tensed atmosphere, Clarence’s voice sounded, “Yes. So what?”

She couldn’t read his mood through his voice.

Stella was a bit stunned, “What?”

What did he say just now?

Clarence continued, “You know what I mean.”

Stella said after a short while of silence, “But Mr. Conrad, you also said that love doesn’t prove

anything.”

“It’s true that it can’t prove anything, but I can let you be my wife and no one is going to replace you.”

“Even so, I still can’t give birth to your child, right?”

Clarence didn’t reply, but Stella knew his answer very well.

He meant he loved her, but he just wanted their relationship to come back to what it was like when they

hadn’t divorced.

Her assumption was right. Clarence was accustomed to her staying by his side. He was accustomed to

her obedience and to the experience that someone would be waiting for him whenever he came back

to Starry Lake Mansion.

The proverb said that custom was a terrifying thing.

Stella asked, “Mr. Conrad, can you tell me, what you are going to do with child in my belly? Can you let

me know whether you want it to live, or to die?”

Clarence was muted. Several seconds later, he replied, “You can deliver it. And I will send it to the

other place.”

Stella was stunned as she hadn’t expected such an answer. She asked, “The premise is that the

Conrad family doesn’t discover its existence before its birth, right?”

“Absolutely.”

Stella was silent for a long while, “Clarence, I know you may think that I overvalue myself when you

hear the words that I’m going to say, but…” She choked with sobs, “It’s not only my child, but also

yours. Haven’t you thought of letting it come to this world safe and sound?”

Clarence’s expression remained unchanged. He said in a flat tone, “I told you that I don’t want a child in

two years before.”

He thought that as long as he took good prevention measures, she would not get pregnant. But she

was still pregnant accidently.

He would solve the problem from its source rather than letting the child be a puppet since its birth.

Stella sniffed, his eyes getting red, “Then… Can I visit him later?”

“No.”

“But…”

Clarence said, “Stella, you should tell me when you learned that you’re pregnant. I found it by myself.

Moreover, it’s you who insisting on giving birth the child. So you have to bear the consequence no

matter what it is.”

His voice was so indifferent and it sounded like he was talking about an insignificant matter.

Although sometimes he would also show his cares for her, he was a cold-hearted person in natural.

No one could change this aspect of him.

Seeing that she was muted, Clarence continued, “I promise you that I will try my best to keep the

Conrad family to learn about this. One more point, Stella, I hope you can remember that I’m your

husband, not your enemy. I’m not a monster either. Please don’t be hostile to me.”

Stella corrected him, “Ex-husband.”

Clarence sneered, “Then regard me as your enemy. That’s it. None of us gonna live peacefully.”

“…”

It was really a shameful trick that he used the carrot tactic right after using the stick one.

She felt tired to argue with him.

Stella moved her lips and said slowly, “Mr. Conrad, if you don’t have any other matter, I will go to bed.”

After finishing the words, Stella didn’t come back to her bedroom without giving a shit to Clarence’s

reaction.

Thanks to Clarence and the fuss he made, Stella felt that her stomach was not that full now.

After coming back to the bedroom, Stella lay on the bed. She stared blankly at the ceilings and gently

covered her belly with one hand. She was not sleepy now.

It seemed that the little baby in her belly had been woken up and it was now rolling over in her belly.

Stella could even feel its movements in her belly.

If she still couldn’t figure a way out and leave before the child’s birth, she would not be able to see her

child in the rest of her life when Clarence sent her child away.

Stella knew deep down about what situation Clarence was facing, yet she still decided to give birth to

the child.

She also worried about that; therefore, she didn’t want her child to have any relationship with the

members of the Conrad family, including Clarence.

She couldn’t understand the conflicts in the Conrad family, nor could she pay attention to the interests

of the whole like Clarence did. She was just an ordinary mother who wished that her child could come

to this world safely.

But she hadn’t expected that things would still evolve to this point.

What made Stella feel extremely desperate was not the consequence that she had to face when the

Conrad family learned about the existence of the child; instead, it was Clarence’s indifference.

He had never taken the little baby to his heart from the very beginning, like the death and life of the

child had nothing to do with him.

He was like an indifferent onlooker who would satirize her from time to time.
