Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 192

Stella said, “Correct.”

Sherry replied, “You got it, I’ll start packing them up for you.”

When Stella finished changing, Sherry had already finished stuffing all of the jewellery in a box.

Stella, now wearing sweater pants and a fur coat, carried the box and said, “Much obliged, Sherry. I’m gonna go down and give this to him.”

Sherry sighed, walked to the study, leaned out the window and looked downwards.

Just as she expected, a familiar Rolls-Royce was right there.

In said Rolls-Royce, Clarence tapped his knees with his fingers, and asked Nathan Lance, “Say, what she will gift me?”

Nathan did not reply immediately.

His answer to that question could very easily piss off Clarence. Nathan tested the waters by answering, “Could it be that Mrs. Conrad had gotten her hands on the custom made necklace?”

Clarence frowned; he seemed to be unsatisfied with Nathan’s answer.

He replied, “Don’t you think that it’s too early for the necklace to be completed?”

Nathan matched his statement and said, “It won’t be that quick, you’re right. It’s probably something else.”

Clarence did not say anything after that, and waited patiently for Stella.

Ten minutes later, Stella ran towards the car with a cardboard box in her hands.

She tapped on the car window to alert its occupants.

Just as Clarence lowered the windows and before he could say anything, Stella gave him the cardboard box.

She said, “I’m sorry for taking so much of your time, Mr. Conrad. You guys can leave now.”

Clarence looked at the box and asked, “What is this?”

Stella gave him a sweet smile, waved to him before turning around and leaving.

When Clarence saw the contents of the box, his expression changed.

He immediately yelled, “Stella!!”

Stella ignored his outrage and ran away quickly.

Looking at her silhouette, Clarence was so angry that he would make a swarm of wasps appear calm.

Nathan, in the driver’s seat, was trying his absolute hardest to not laugh at his boss’ misery.

…

Stella opened the door and saw a gossipy Sherry leaning on the shoe rack.

She unnaturally asked her, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Sherry replied, “Don’t tell me … that you went out with that bastard Clarence tonight?”

Stella immediately denied, “Of course not!”

“Then why is he the one to send you back, and why did you dress like that?”

Stella blushed as she heard Sherry’s rebuttal, she stuttered and was unable to answer her.

Sherry pushed her advance, “It seeMs. that something that only adults do happened tonight, then?”

“... No!”

“Really? I am not buying it.”

Stella was speechless once again.

She was guilty, and to dodge Sherry’s barrage of questions, she gave her an excuse, “I’m gonna go and take a shower.”

Saying that, she rushed into the bathroom.

After she had finished showering, her lowered her shutters, and found out that it had started snowing again, coating the branches in a thin layer of snow.

The whole world was silent, only the snow falling could be heard.

Stella dried her hair. When she got out from the bathroom, Sherry was sitting on the sofa and waiting for her.

Her plan of sneaking back to her bedroom was a failure.

So, she sat on the sofa, coughed and said, “Sherry, things are not as it seems, I…”

Sherry got closer, and asked, “Stella, can I ask you something?”

Stella replied, “Huh?”

“Is there still a chance for both of you to get together again?”

Hearing that, Stella was startled, “Why do you ask that?”

“Because I saw that he started coming over to find you more often lately. He appears to be confident, too,” Sherry said. She hugged a pillow, and said in a serious tone, “Stella, I don’t mind whoever you decide to be with in the end as long as you are happy. If you’re happy, so am I. It’s just that…”

Stella knew what she was worrying about, she smiled and replied, “There’s zero chance for me and Clarence to get back together.”

There were just way too many probleMs. between her and Clarence.

It’s not something as simple as divorcing and then marrying again could fix.

Not only that, the Conrad family hated her guts.

Stella said, “I don’t know what’s wrong with him lately, I guess we’ll just wait until his craze is over.”

When Sherry heard that, she breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good. I’m just afraid that you’ll fall into that rabbit hole again. “

Even though Clarence had been slightly humane lately, and he had started treating Stella better.

But she knew that deep down, that bastard won’t just change his roots on a dime. And the Conrad family was already such an utter mess to begin with, so why would she willingly get back to that hellhole after she clawed her way out of it.

Stella slapped her legs, got up and said, “Don’t worry; I know what I’m doing.”

Just as she was about to go back to her room, the doorbell rang all of a sudden.

She got to the door slowly. She learned her lesson last time, and peeked through the peephole before opening the door.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Stella said, “Mr. Daniel, is there anything you want to talk about this late in the night?”

Daniel lifted the cake in his hands, lifted his eyebrows and said, “I bought this on the way back. If I recall correctly, your friend likes to eat this kind of cake.”

Stella turned around and saw Sherry as she stood up and looked at Stella with eyes full of excitement.

Stella stepped to the side and said, “Please, come in.”

“Thank you.”

Stella shut the door behind him, somewhat confused by Daniel’s unannounced visit.

Daniel placed the cake on the coffee table, sat on the single sofa and said, “I apologize for disturbing you this late in the night, but the owner of the cake store said that the cake is best eaten fresh, and I couldn’t finish it tonight by myself. I figured that you ladies would help me finish this cake tonight.”

Sherry smiled from ear to ear, “No worries, we as neighbours should help each other anyway. As for the cake, I’m delighted to help myself with it.”

Daniel smiled, “I’m happy to hear you say this, Ms. Perry.”

After he thanked her, he added, “After listening to Ms. Steward today, are you friends with her? Ms. Radomil?”

“I’d say we’re acquaintances, I was fortunate enough to help Ms. Steward design a necklace.”

“I see.”

Sherry did not catch their drift and asked, “Which Ms. Steward? Did you meet Phoebe Steward today?”

Stella nodded, “We met when we had dinner earlier today.”

Sherry frowned and said, “Did she say pretentious things to you, then?”

“Fortunately, she did not say that much to me. She had her sights on a different target.”

Daniel lifted his eyebrows and asked, “May I ask what’s the relationship between Ms. Radomil and Mr. Conrad?”

Some time had passed, but both Stella and Sherry were still silent.

He raised his eyebrows, “It seeMs. that it was wrong of me to ask that question. I apologize, Ms. Radomil.”

Stella smiled and said, “It’s fine, he is my ex-husband.”

“I see. I’m sorry that was ignorant about it”

Sherry asked softly, “Do you know Clarence?”

Daniel replied, “I wouldn’t say I know him. It’s just that I’ve heard of him as he is very popular.”

“Then why do you know Ms. Steward?”
