Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

In five minutes, Nathan pulled over the car next to them. He got off and pulled the rear door open.

Clarence put Stella in and walked to the other side to get in the car.

When Nathan was about to enter the address information in GPS, he recalled the lesson lat time. He

coughed to clear his throat and asked, “Ms. Radomil, where are you going?”

Stella told him an address in a flat tone. Then she leaned against the back of the seat and huddled up

in the corner, closing her eyes.

Shortly after, she felt a coat was put on her body.

She didn’t move, and nor did she want to speak to him. She slightly tilted her body, turning her back to

him.

Clarence said, “Drive.”

“Yes, Mr. Conrad.”

On the way back, it was quiet in the car. Clarence thought that Stella seemed to have fallen asleep for

real.

He turned around and looked at her in silence, recalling the question she asked him just now.

Although the little thing’s status was far better than before, nobody could guarantee if there would be

any accident in the future.

He decided to wait a bit longer. If the little thing was fine, he would send the baby to her. Anyway, she

didn’t have to know anything about it now.

As if she had felt his gaze, the woman who seemed to have fallen asleep reached out her hand under

the coat and lifted it to cover her head.

Clarence watched her do it silently.

He pressed his lips and withdrew his gaze.

In half an hour, the car was parked downstairs of Stella’s apartment.

Nathan had to speak to break the lifeless atmosphere in the car, “Excuse me, Ms. Radomil. We’ve

arrived.”

The woman under the coat moved a bit. She pushed the coat away and sat up. She said in an

indifferent tone, “Thank you.”

Stella pulled the door open. When she was about to get off, she heard Clarence’s voice behind her,

“You are not allowed to go tomorrow.”

Upon hearing his tone, Stella was angry again, “I am going!”

After that, she smashed the door close and left without looking back.

Looking at her receding figure, Clarence gritted his teeth in anger.

...

Sherry had been waiting at home for a long while but Stella still hadn’t come back. She dialed Stella’s

phone number but couldn’t reach her. She panicked. When she was about to go out and look for her,

the door was opened.

Sherry walked up, “Stella, where have you been? Where are your shoes?”

Stella shook her head, “They were not cozy. I tossed them away.”

“Did you come back on barefoot? It’s snowing outside. Stella, you...”

“It’s alright. I just walked from the entrance to the elevator. I came back by car,” said Stella, “Sherry, I’ll

go take a shower.”

Sherry nodded, “Okay. Okay. Please go ahead. I’ll make some soup for you.”

While making the soup, Sherry heard a few knocks on the door. She turned down the gas and trotted to

open the door.

Daniel was standing there.

Sherry was taken aback for a moment. She leaned against the door and greeted him, “Hello! Nice to

see you again!”

Daniel slightly nodded. Then he said, “Emmett told me you are his friends.”

“Ah... Yes! We are quite close,” said Sherry, “How did you get to know him?”

“Australia.”

Sherry thought for a moment and understood. He should mean that when Emmett was studying in

Australia, they got to know each other.

Sherry kept smiling. Suddenly she recalled something and put down her hand, “Would you like to come

in?”

“No, thanks” Daniel glanced through the living room. After a pause, he asked, “Last time you said that

you’re sharing the apartment with your friend, right?”

“Yes. Hasn’t Emmett mentioned about her to you?”

“Yes, he has.”

That was why he came here to check on her.

It seemed that she was home, though.

Daniel was about to withdraw his gaze. When he was leaving, he saw a woman entering the living

room while drying her hair with a towel.

She asked, “Sherry, who are you...”

Before finishing her words, Stella looked over and saw Daniel standing at the door.

Sherry said, “Stella, this is Emmett’s friend, our new neighbor. You should have met each other before.”

Stella greeted Daniel politely, “Hi there.”

Daniel curled up his lips, nodding at her in response.

He said, “It’s getting quite late now. I won’t hold you up for so long. See you girls around.”

“Well...” Sherry asked, “How about let’s have dinner tomorrow?”

Daniel thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, “I’d love to.”

After getting back to his apartment, Daniel was sitting on the sofa, knocking his knee with the cell

phone.

It turned out that woman was Clarence Conrad’s ex-wife.

She was indeed pretty.

However, if Clarence had called off his engagement with the Steward family just because of this

woman, it was quite confusing.

Daniel didn’t think it was something that Clarence could have done.

Shortly after, his cell phone started ringing.

It was a call from Emmett.

Emmett said, “It’ll be Phoebe Steward’s birthday party next Wednesday. I’ve arranged everything well.”

“Got it.” Daniel asked, “You insisted that I must come back and do it on your behalf. Is it because of

Clarence Conrad’s ex-wife?”

Emmett said in a cold tone, “She has a name.”

“OK. I’m sorry. I forgot to ask her just now.” After a pause, Daniel continued, “If he knew that you are so

close to Clarence Conrad’s ex-wife, he shouldn’t be happy about it.”

“I’ll let him know.”

“Whatever. I don’t care. If things go smoothly, he will come back soon.”

...

After closing the door, Sherry said excitedly, “Stella, I asked him out for dinner and he said yes. Will you

join us?”

Stella smiled and walked to the kitchen to turn off the gas, “No, thanks. I’ve invited Emmett for dinner

tomorrow.”

Upon hearing it, Sherry trotted to her directly and leaned to her. She said, “That’s awesome. He’s finally

become smarter. It seems what I’ve told him in the car enlightened him.”

Stella looked back at her, “What have you told him?”

“What?” Sherry let out a hollow laugh, trying to slip by, “Well, just a casual chat. What else could we

talk about? Hmm... I’m taking a shower, too. Go to bed early after drinking the soup. It’s quite cold now.

Sleep tight and you’ll be in good shape tomorrow.”

After finishing her words, she trotted away.

Stella withdrew her gaze. With a faint smile, she poured the soup out from the pot.

Lying on the bed at night, Stella couldn’t fall asleep at all. As soon as she closed her eyes, what

Clarence said today was reechoed in her ears.

She could never understand why Clarence would have suddenly changed so much. He didn’t give up,

no matter she scolded him or how much she tried to send him away.

It seemed that he had changed to an entirely different person.

In the past, as much as she knew about the wretched man, how could he allow her to challenge his

dignity and rock bottom again and again?

Besides, she could sense that he wouldn’t give up no matter what.

Stella wondered what on earth he wanted from her.

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she was. Since she couldn’t sleep at all, she sat up

and opened the draft book at the desk.

When she turned to the page that was torn off, looking at the uneven traces, she felt more

annoyed.
