Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

When Joanna was about to add something, Dempsey said unhappily, “All right. Are you done yet?

Could you let us have lunch in peace?”

The dining table finally quieted down.

After lunch, when Dempsey and Joanna were gone, Stella stood up. When she was about to go to her

room, Phoebe stopped her.

Phoebe stood in front of her and smiled faintly, “Ms. Radomil, what do you think about the matter I

mentioned to you in the morning?”

Stella said, “Miss Steward, thanks a lot for your kindness. Please have fun. I won’t join you.”

“Ms. Radomil, are you worried that Uncle Dempsey isn’t willing to let you go with us? Or are you

worried about Annie? I...”

“Miss Steward,” Stella interrupted her in an indifferent tone, “Getting married is a big event. You need to

prepare a lot of things. If I go with you, your time would be wasted, Miss Steward.”

Phoebe paused, looking a bit awkward, “I’m sorry, Ms. Radomil. I didn’t mean to raise that topic at the

dining table just now. It’s because...”

“Miss Steward, please. You don’t need to apologize to me. I don’t think you’ve done anything to offend

me.” Before finishing her words, Stella felt quite helpless. She didn’t know how to explain. She said

gently, “I just want to take a rest. I should apologize for letting you down, Miss Steward.”

After finishing her words, she nodded at Phoebe slightly as goodbye and went upstairs.

Back to her room, Stella stood in front of the window for a while. When she saw the black car out of the

Conrads’ Mansion, she sat down on the edge of the bed, exhaling.

After a while, she heard faint knocks on her door.

Stella returned to her senses and adjusted her mood. Then she stood up and walked to the door.

When she opened the door, she saw Clarence standing there with both hands in his trousers pockets.

With an aloof look, he gazed at the corridor.

Stella was shocked.

She closed the door without any hesitation.

When the door was about to shut, Clarence reached out and stopped it. He looked at her quite

unhappily.

Stella asked patiently, “Yes? Mr. Conrad, what’s the matter?”

Clarence withdrew his hands and put them back in the pockets, “You didn’t eat much for lunch. I asked

the cook to prepare two dishes. They’ll be delivered to you later.”

“I see. Thank you, Mr. Conrad.”

As she spoke, Stella was about to close the door again.

Clarence gazed at her coldly.

Stella didn’t know what he meant.

He asked, “Is that your response?”

Stella pressed her lips, “Mr. Conrad, thank you so much for your kindness. I’ll eat properly.”

She indeed hadn’t had enough for lunch, so she didn’t need to be polite and refuse it.

Clarence gazed at her with his black eyes without a blink. After a few seconds, he said, “Why do you

blow up on me?”

Stella was confused.

She wondered what misled him that she was angry with him.

She inhaled deeply, “Mr. Conrad, you must have misunderstood. In my opinion, since you are getting

married, you shouldn’t have shown up at the door of your ex-wife and said something nonsense. If your

fiancee knew it, she would be quite upset.”

Clarence was still expressionless, “Would you be upset or would you be afraid that she’s upset?”

Stella didn’t think she could continue the conversation with him.

The wretched man truly annoyed her.

He was getting married soon and his fiancee also came to his house. How could he still expect to have

two women at the same time?

However, this time, Stella found that she had become the potential mistress.

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed Stella became. She said impatiently, “Mr. Conrad,

what the heck would you like to talk about? If there’s nothing else, I need to go back and take a nap.”

Clarence stared at her and didn’t speak.

Stella was about to shut the door, but he suddenly uttered a few words, “What would you do if I truly get

married to Phoebe?”

After a few seconds of silence, Stella answered, “Mr. Conrad, as long as you won’t ask me for the

wedding gift, everything would be fine.”

She emphasized, “I’m not rich.”

Clarence fell into the silence.

Then he sneered and suddenly turned around. After he entered his room, he smashed his door close.

Stella stood at her door and could even feel the shake from his door.

She hadn’t closed her door yet, but the wretched man smashed his door close.

Lying on the bed, Stella felt annoyed and her mind was messy.

He asked her what she would do. She couldn’t stop him from getting married, could she? Would he

listen to her if she truly said so?

The wretched man always spoke ambiguous words to her and misled her. Then he would say that she

flattered herself and always had daydreams.

Recalling that he said he noticed that she hadn’t had enough for lunch, Stella had to admit that the

wretched man was way too good at multi-tasking. On one hand, he was discussing with his fiancee

about the wedding, and on the other hand, he cared about his ex-wife who hadn’t eaten much for

lunch.

Stella couldn’t help but wonder how come such a disgusting wretched man named Clarence could

appear in this world.

...

Probably Justin had also heard the shake, so he went to find Clarence later.

When Clarence opened the door, his room was full of smoke from the cigarette.

Justin operated his wheelchair and entered. With a helpless smile, he asked, “Did you fight with Stella

again?”

Clarence sat on the sofa, poured some water into the ashtray, and stub out the cigarette.

Meanwhile, he said, “She’s so sharp-tongued. How can I win against her?”

“Stella has been staying here for a whole week. Although she didn’t tell me, I can feel that she’s quite

lonely. After you moved back, she looked much better,” said Justin, “But you’ve done something wrong

as well. Stella is pregnant. Why do you always provoke her?”

Clarence pressed his lips slightly, “I didn’t provoke her.”

He noticed that during lunch, Stella kept lowering her head and looked quite pale. Hence, he wanted to

explain to her about his wedding.

However, the ungrateful woman acted as if she had eaten the gunpowder. Her attitude pissed him off.

Justin added, “No matter what, Stella should be the one in the most difficult situation now. She got your

baby but you’re getting married to Phoebe. You guys discussed things about your wedding in her

presence. Whoever in Stella’s shoes wouldn’t feel happy when listening to it.”

Clarence kept silent for a moment and said, “That’s what she couldn’t ignore.”

“But, Clarence,” Justin continued, “You can talk about a lot of things in a mild and roundabout way. You

don’t need to talk to her in such a ruthless way.”

Clarence said, “But the fact is indeed cruel. If she thought that everything was so beautiful as she

imagined, she wouldn’t know that something would be more painful than things that she had

experienced.”

Justin heaved a sigh in silence, “Clarence, you’ve been too extreme when thinking about things.

Actually, the reason that Dad wants to keep Stella’s baby just because he doesn’t want the later

generation of the Conrad family to wander in the outworld.”

Clarence didn’t take it seriously. With a faint smile, he said, “He just wants to create another puppet,

who could listen to him and be controlled by him only. However, this puppet must have the blood of the

Conrad family.”

For the wealthy and rich families like the Conrad family, they look upon their blood inheritance very

much. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken him in although he was an illegitimate child.
