Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

In the early morning of Saturday, Sherry dragged Stella out of the quilt and asked Stella to make up

well.

Stella was sitting in front of the window. The sunshine was so dazzling that she could hardly open her

eyes.

Sherry said, “It’s such a beautiful day today! Quite suitable for dating. I’ll also dress up and go out for

fun.”

Stella yawned. “It’s so early now. Where are you going?”

“All schools are on winter vacation now. I’ll go around the colleges nearby and see if there’s any college

student who needs a helping hand to carry his suitcase. If I could meet one, that would be perfect. It’s a

rare chance.”

Stella lost her tongue in amusement.

After she straightened herself up, Emmett called.

Sherry walked her downstairs. On the way back to their apartment for sleeping in, she encountered

Daniel, who just finished jogging, while waiting for the elevator.

They greeted each other and fell into the silence.

When the elevator went up, the atmosphere in the narrow space became more and more

embarrassing.

Daniel coughed and found a topic at random. “Emmett said Ms. Radomil has gone to the annual party

of Star Ferry Technology.”

Sherry nodded. “Yeah. I just walked her downstairs.”

Then they were quiet again.

As soon as the elevator door was opened, Sherry strode out immediately. When she opened the door

of her apartment, Daniel said behind her back, “I’m quite sorry for the thing that happened last time. If

you have time, I want to treat you for a dinner tonight.”

After a pause, Sherry curled up her lips into a smile. She looked back and pretended to be quite calm

when saying, “Only the two of us? I don’t think...” She didn’t think it was proper.

“As well as Ms. Radomil’s younger brother.”

Sherry coughed a bit. “That’s much better. All right.”

Daniel nodded slightly. “Okay. See you this evening.”

...

In the car.

Emmett noticed that Stella had been staring out of the window, lost in thought. Her eyes were dull as if

she was still sleepy.

With a smile, he said, “Stella, you can take a nap. It’ll take us two hours to arrive there. I’ll wake you up

when we got there.”

Upon hearing it, Stella returned to her senses. She patted her cheeks, trying to sober up. “No, thanks.

I’m not that sleepy. I’ll be fine soon.”

Only Emmett and she were in the car, so she felt ashamed if she took a nap and let him drive such a

long way alone. It was too inappropriate.

Emmett suggested, “How about we have a chat?”

Stella yawned. “Why not?”

After a thought, Emmett said, “Stella, I’ve never heard you talking about your family. May I know more

about your family, please?”

Stella didn’t expect that he would chat with her about this subject. After a pause, she answered, “Sure.

My younger brother and I are the only two left in our family. You’ve met my brother last time.”

“I met him before last time.”

“Did you? When?”

Emmett said, “In the past, he occasionally went to the university to find you. I met him from afar. At that

time, you have another man beside you.”

Stella smiled faintly, looking out of the window again. “It turns out so many years have passed.”

After two hours, their car was stopped in the resort.

All employees of Star Ferry Technology were taking a bus, so they would arrive here later. They were

still on the way right now.

After parking the car, Emmett asked, “Stella, would you like to have a rest in the room or go around

here?”

Stella answered, “Let’s have a walk around here. The air here is quite fresh.”

The suburbia’s air was indeed fresher than it was in the city. There were also no honks from the

vehicles. Stella could only hear the sound of the breeze.

Next to the hotel, there was an artificial lake.

Under the sunshine, the water in the lake was sparkling.

Such a landscape could delight others.

However, for some reason, Stella was in a daze. Particularly, when she saw a boat that was parked at

the river bank, she couldn’t help but recall the time she spent in Anqiao Street.

It was also a sunny day with a breeze. A boat swayed on the water. She leaned against a man’s

shoulder, falling asleep. The whole world was quiet without any noises. All she had heard was the

sound of the gurgling water.

And she heard her heartbeat when it got hammered.

Emmett followed her gaze and asked, “Would you like to go over there?”

Stella was brought back to reality. “No, thanks. We can keep walking.”

As soon as they turned around, they saw a group of people walking towards them from a bridge not far

away.

Seeing the man walking in lead, Stella was taken aback for several seconds. She subconsciously

looked over at the boat parked at the riverbank. In a daze, she thought she had an illusion.

How could this be possible?

Soon, the group of people approached them closer and closer.

However, probably Clarence hadn’t seen Emmett and Stella, or probably he pretended not to see them.

Without sparing a single glance at them, he strode away with others.

Stella was still lost in thought after he had gone for a long time.

She had never expected that the man that appeared in her mind just now would show up in front of her

the next second.

For some reason, she felt a sense of guilt.

Emmett said gently, “Stella?”

Stella immediately came back to her senses. “I’m sorry. I...”

“It’s alright. Let’s go back to the hotel.”

Stella nodded slightly. “Okay.”

When they went back to the hotel, all employees of Star Ferry Technology had arrived. They were

chitchatting in groups.

Seeing that Emmett came in with Stella, they all stopped chatting and looked at them from afar.

After Emmett’s assistant reported their activities, Emmett lowered his head and checked the time on his

watch. Then he said to his assistant, “Ask them to put down their belongings in their rooms. Let’s

gather in half an hour and head to lunch.”

“Okay, Mr. Carter.”

Emmett took the room cards from his assistant and Stella’s belongings from his car trunk.

After they left, the employees who had been exchanging glasses started to discuss.

“Is that Mr. Carter’s girlfriend? She’s so beautiful!”

“I’ve never heard Mr. Carter has a girlfriend. Don’t gossip! What if she’s his cousin? I still want to dance

the first dance with Mr. Carter tonight.”

“Oh, come on! She should be his girlfriend. Who would have brought a cousin to such an occasion?

Stop deceiving yourself.”

“Hey, didn’t you see Mr. Carter’s girlfriend looks quite familiar? I might have seen her somewhere.”

“Yeah, she looks quite familiar to me as well. Is she a movie star?”

“Stop your wild guess. I know who she is.”

In an instant, everyone gazed at the person who spoke.

“She’s a designer from SG Jewelry Magazine. She also won the first prize in some kind of designer

contest. Her name is... What’s her name?”

Someone echoed, “Ms. Radomil, isn’t it?”

“Exactly! It’s she!”

“But... isn’t there a rumor that Ms. Radomil is someone’s mistress?”
