Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 320

If it was fake, Clarence lied to her and wanted herself to expose. If she admitted it, she would fall into his trap.

However, if what he said was true, Phoebe knew that Clarence could have the heart to send the video clips to the media. He didn’t care about anyone’s dignity, let alone that he was against Steward Group now.

Steward Group had become a target now. Once the video clip was leaked, the loss caused and the impact on her wouldn’t be estimated.

Seeing that she was silent, Clarence added, “Why? Ms. Steward, you are always proud and think highly of yourself. You dared to do it but you dare not to admit it, do you?”

After a few seconds, Phoebe inhaled and sat upright. “Yes. I’ve done it. But, even I stabbed the long nail into the horse, I didn’t have any way to control the horse to hurt others. Animals are spiritual. As the target to be attacked, Ms. Radomil, don’t you do a self-reflection? There are so many people in this club, but why did the horse only rush to you?”

It was the first time that Stella encountered such a cunning woman like Phoebe who could make a false countercharge.

Instead of getting angry, Stella smiled. “Ms. Steward, do you also mean that since City N is so big, but Bernice young only made the trouble to me because I deserved it?”

After a pause, she added, “By the way, Ms. Steward. I forgot to tell you. She survived the car accident. She woke up last week and was transferred to the general intensive care unit a few days ago. Her consciousness was quite clear and she told your car plate number without any mistake.”

Upon hearing it, not only Phoebe, but Clarence also looked over at her. He raised his brows at Stella as if he asked why she hadn’t told him such information.

It wasn’t that Stella didn’t want to tell him. She just didn’t have any chance to mention it.

She had been bustle and hustle recently.

If it weren’t that the incident happened today, she would find a more suitable occasion to tell him about it.

Phoebe pressed her lips tightly, clenching her hands on the knees. She had never expected that Stella could have caught her on such a big matter.

Stella smiled gently. “Ms. Steward, please don’t worry. I won’t tell others about this matter. After all, we’ll become a family soon. If things you’ve done were exposed, you wouldn’t be the only one who got impacted. Steward Group would be impacted, too. In that case, the loss outweighs the gain to me.”

Phoebe suddenly stood up and strode away.

After she was gone, Stella’s smile gradually faded away.

The manager said, “Mr... Mr. Conrad, I’m leaving now...”

“Okay.”

Soon, only Clarence and Stella were left in the lounge.

Clarence leaned against the sofa, stretching his arm behind her. “I’ve never known that you are so good at threatening others.”

“Oh, I’m not so competent as you, Mr. Conrad. You even could make lies of the videos.”

Clarence curled up his lips. “That means we are a perfect match.”

Stella was speechless.

This wretched man couldn’t stop flirting with her. How disgusting!

Clarence said, “You’ve caught her on those two matters, so she would be restrained a lot after you moved into the Steward’s. But you still must be alert to Charles Steward.”

Stella slightly nodded. “I know.”

Since she would move into the Steward’s alone, how could she be unprepared at all?

After walking out of the lounge, Stella saw that it was getting dark outside. It was until then did she realize how much time they had wasted.

Due to this incident, they even didn’t have a chance to eat the food she prepared last night.

It seemed that the day should end here.

She could only bring the food back home.

After sitting in the car, Stella found that Clarence didn’t drive in the direction back home. Instead, he drove all the way to the suburbia.

She turned to ask him, “Aren’t we going home?”

Clarence answered, “Our date hasn’t started yet. Why would we go home?”

Stella was puzzled.

She wondered what they were doing the whole afternoon in that case.

She didn’t insist on asking him thought. They were out anyway. If they went home now, there was nothing to do except for having dinner and sleep.

It would be better to take this chance to relax.

Stella didn’t expect that Clarence would take her here. After being taken aback for a moment, she had a bright smile.

Clarence unfastened the seat belt. He got off and opened the rear door, taking the lunch boxes out. “Let’s roll.”

Stella followed him to walk forward. After walking for a distance, she found that they arrived at a flat area nearby the sea, which was decorated deliberately. Warm-colored light belts were wrapping around the pergolas. The ground was covered with a layer of roses. Two cushions were put at the back. There were also a bottle of wine and two goblets. The scene looked romantic and warm.

It looked like a perfect place for dating indeed.

She never thought that the wretched man could treat it so seriously.

After sitting down, Stella opened the lunch boxes one after another. When seeing the miserable shapes of the food, she paused a bit.

Clarence coughed. “It’s not important how they look like. As long as they are tasty.”

Stella closed her eyes, trying to keep smiling. “Mr. Conrad, you’d better stay away from the kitchen in the future.”

She didn’t understand -- the food was quite neat when she put it on the plates.

He just moved the food into the lunch boxes, but the food became so miserable.

He must be the new generation of kitchen killers.

Clarence frowned unhappily. “Are you disdaining me?”

“Not really. I’m just giving you a suggestion from the bottom of my heart.”

Clarence wasn’t in the mood to argue with her. He opened the wine bottle and filled the goblets with wine.

After experiencing what happened in the afternoon, Stella was starved. She picked up a piece of cake and took a bite. Seeing that Clarence stared at her without a blink, she picked up a sushi roll at random and pressed it into his mouth.

Much to her surprise, before her fingers were withdrawn, the man gently bit them.

Stella felt her hand numb and tickled. She blushed. “What are you doing?”

Clarence swallowed the sushi and answered, “A response to you.”

Stella choked up.

What kind of response was it?

Then Stella decided to take care of herself when eating, ignoring him completely.

When she was munching, she looked around the view of the area.

The sea at night wasn’t as magnificent, blue, and clear as that in the daytime, but it had different scenery under the reflection of the distant lighthouse.

She raised her head and suddenly found that stars were twinkling in the night sky.

It seemed that it would be a pleasant day tomorrow.

Stella poked Clarence with her elbow, looking quite delighted. “Mr. Conrad, look! So many stars. How beautiful!”

Clarence looked at her and said slowly, “La stella accanto a me è più bella. (The star next to me is more beautiful.)”

Stella was fully concentrated in the sky, so she didn’t hear what he spoke. Subconsciously, she asked, “Pardon?”

“Nothing.” Clarence handed her a goblet. “You haven’t drunk enough last night, have you? Let me drink with you tonight.”

Stella withdrew her gaze. “When did I tell you that I didn’t drink enough? I just didn’t get drunk.”

Clarence curled up his thin lips into a smile. “Not drunk means not enough, doesn’t it?”

Stella was puzzled.

She wondered what kind of false reason it was.
