Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

After a short while, Winnie walked out of the room after dressing make-up and changing her clothes.

Wearing a black, long dress, she looked so gorgeous with her long, curly hair cascading on her back.

The director shouted, “Everyone come over. Get yourself prepared and our shooting will begin.”

All staff in the shooting studio moved towards the director.

Winnie’s assistant hurriedly ran over and helped Winnie smoothen her dress.

Channing took several steps backwards until he reached an inconspicuous corner. He then landed his gaze on

Winnie’s face.

Not far away from the corner, Winnie was discussing the scene that she needed to shoot later with the director. She

slightly nodded her head from time to time and smiled, “Thank you, director.”

The shooting began soon.

The flashes of the cameras lit up the whole studio,

Winnie stood on the stage with a bright smile, surrounded by the staff.

She should be like this.

After a while, Channing withdrew his gaze and walked out of the shooting studio.

The shooting came to an end in half an hour.

The staff thanked Winnie in chorus, “Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Truman.”

Winnie replied, “Thank you for your hard work too.”

She then prepared to come back to the changing room to change her cloth. But Winnie suddenly paused and

looked around, “Where’s Channing?”

Her assistant was also confused, “He was over there not long ago. Maybe he went out because he thought this

place was too noisy.”

Winnie also thought it possible and said, “I will change my cloth first.”

After entering the changing room, Winnie took off the dress and put on her own clothes. She took her phone from

her assistant and hurriedly walked out of the studio.

But she suddenly paused after taking several steps.

Her assistant asked, “What’s wrong, Winnie?”

Winnie stared at the screen of her phone and replied, “Nothing. Channing has come back to his school.”

She saw the message that Channing sent her twenty minutes ago.

Her assistant asked in confusion, “Why did he leave alone?”

Winnie put her phone into her handbag, “He has a final exam tomorrow.”

“No wonder. The director asked me whether he’s your boyfriend or not just now.”

Winnie was bewildered.

She asked, “How did you reply?”

Her assistant replied, “I said he’s your friend’s younger brother. The director complimented him, saying that he’s so

handsome and asking whether he wanted to enter the entertainment industry or not. But I told him he had signed a

contract with JH Film Company.”

Her assistant then asked, “By the way, Winnie, does he have a girlfriend?”

Winnie gently shook her head, “Probably he doesn’t have one. Before when I chatted with her sister, her sister said

that he is so fascinated by a girl. But he’s afraid that the girl would refuse his affection, so he hasn’t confessed his

love to her.”

Her assistant was confused and at the same time shocked, “He’s so handsome and has an outstanding

performance in study. How excellent the girl is that she even wants to refuse him?”

“It’s their business and we can’t comment on it when we don’t know the truth. Let’s go.”

…

When Stella arrived home, she found it was still early, so she cleaned up the whole house.

Looking at the baby’s toys and the crib, Stella sat down on the carpet and became lost in her thoughts.

She had only been back for two days. And the following days seemed to be so awful.

After a long while, Stella pulled herself together, stood up and walked into the bathroom.

She came back to her bathroom, opened her drawing book, and began to draw the design for Freya’s rings.

She scratched several versions, but none of them met her criteria. Stella tore off the papers, kneaded them and

threw the ball into the trash can.

When she lifted her head again, it was almost 1 a.m.

Clarence hadn’t come back.

Stella picked up her phone but put it down at the next moment.

Never mind. They only came back to City N after staying in Riverside for a month, so Clarence must have to deal

with many matters. Maybe he wouldn’t come back tonight.

Stella, who couldn’t sleep, decided to continue to draw the design.

When it was 3 a.m., Stella finally felt a bit sleepy.

She stretched out lazily. Just as she stood up, there came some noises from the door.

There came some footsteps. Clarence walked into the room and said in a low voice, “It’s so late. Why don’t you

sleep?”

Stella yawned, “I prepared to go to bed. I thought you won’t come back tonight.”

Clarence tore down his necktie. He looked a bit tired as he said, “I will come back late in the next few days. You can

go to bed first and I will take a bath.”

Stella nodded and then lay down on the bed.

When she was sleeping, she felt the other side of the bed sinking and at the next moment, she was pulled into a

warm embrace.

Stella let out an inexplicit groan and found a place that was comfortable for her in his arms.

Clarence’s voice sounded, “How’s Elaine’s performance in your study today?”

Stella responded to her with her eyes closed, “Not bad. Actually she’s not that spoiled as I’ve imagined. Maybe it’s

because she had been confined in Riverside for so long, plus that the people around her all pampered her, she

would have some weird behaviour from time to time.”

Clarence smiled and rubbed her head, “Don’t pamper her. Feel free to give her any orders.”

“Okay…” Stella paused and then slowly opened her eyes, “I want to come to the Steward Group to have a look

tomorrow.”

“Would you like me to go with you?”

“Don’t bother. I just thought I should tell you about this.” Stella continued, “Now the matters related to Armand

have been solved, which means the biggest problem in the Steward Group is gone. Every project is progressing and

everything gradually comes to the right track, so I…”

Clarence continued, “So you want to leave the Steward Group?”

Stella nodded, “There is little time left to the fashion week and I want to make full preparation for it. Plus that

Sherry is pregnant, so I can’t let her handle the matters of the studio alone. It’s just that… I can’t figure out a

suitable candidate to take charge of the Steward Group.”

Clarence comforted her, “Francis is dealing with the matters in the Steward Group. You can rest assured and focus

on the preparation for the fashion week. As for the suitable candidate, let’s talk about this when the fashion week is

over.”

“Okay.”

Clarence gently patted her back, “Sleep.”

Stella felt sleepy again. She yawned lazily and closed her eyes.

Clarence patted her back slowly and looked out of the windows, seeming to be pondering something.

When Stella woke up the next morning, she found Clarence had left.

She prepared the breakfast and then came out, intending to wake up Sherry and Elaine.

Seeing that Sherry walked out of the house alone, Stella asked, “Didn’t Daniel come back last night?”

Sherry rubbed her eyes and replied, “He hasn’t come back. He told me he had to deal with some matters.”

Right at this moment, Elaine walked out of her house with her eyes half-closed, “Morning.”

Stella replied, “Morning. Come to my home to have breakfast.”

After breakfast, Stella said to Sherry, “Sherry, I want to go to the Steward Group today. Please take Elaine to our

studio.”

Sherry nodded her head, “Okay.”

Before leaving, Stella looked towards Elaine, “Elaine, Sherry will take care of you today. Be obedient.”

Elaine replied obediently, “Okay.”

Stella then left the house. Her phone rang the moment she got into the car.

Stella then answered the call. Samuel said, “Ms. Radomil, I’ve gotten some information of the person that you

asked me to investigate before.”

Stella said, “Say it.”

“She’s French and has been living in Paris for a long time. Her fiancé is also French. I’ve checked it and indeed she

didn’t lie to you. She always asked Modesty to design customized jewellery for her when she was in Paris, and she

even recommended Modesty to her friends.”

“Have you found out what drove her to come back to the country?”

“Not yet. But I found she’s going to marry her fiancé. Could it be that she merely came to you for her wedding

rings?”
