Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

As soon as she stood up, Stella stopped her, “By the way, how’s Chan doing?”

Winnie didn’t answer.

She turned around and stammered, “He... He’s fine.”

In fact, she felt embarrassed to face Stella. After all, they were friends, and she used to take Channing as her

younger brother.

She had never expected that things would become like this...

Stella knew what she was worried about. She wanted to break the embarrassment and said in a low voice, “Since a

long time ago, I knew Chan had a crush on you. He has liked you for a long. I’m happy to see you guys be

together.”

Winnie was silent for a moment. Then she asked, “Don’t you mind I’m a few years older than him?”

“Why would I? As long as you guys love each other, nothing is a problem.”

Winnie breathed a sigh of relief, smiling. “He’s been well recently. About his father’s matter, I’ll find a chance to test

him.”

Stella smiled at her as well. “Thank you, Winnie.”

Winnie said, “I’ll go put on makeup. Talk to you later.”

“Okay.”

After Winnie had put on makeup, Sherry had almost returned to the studio.

They would shoot for posters for the new products. It would be released when they moved to the new studio.

After shooting the photos here, Sherry would shoot another set after remodeling the new studio.

Hence, it only took two to three hours to finish shooting, not much longer at all.

Sherry passed her camera to the assistant and said to Winnie, “It’s lunch break. Let’s have lunch together, shall

we?”

Winnie put down her earrings and said, “Okay. I need to remove my makeup first.”

“Sure. I’ll sort out the lenses and tell Stella.”

When Sherry went back next door, she saw Daniel waiting for her at the door before she knocked on Stella’s office.

Daniel raised his eyebrows. “Good day.”

Sherry walked in. “Why are you standing here?”

Daniel followed her. “I’m waiting to have lunch with you.”

“I have an appointment,” said Sherry.

Daniel was confused.

Sherry turned to look at him. “I do have an appointment. I’ll have lunch with Winnie and Stella. Just go home.”

She had been pretty busy recently. Hence, when Daniel came to her sometimes, she couldn’t make time to

accompany him. For several times, after finishing taking photos, it had been midnight.

Daniel didn’t tell her how long he had waited but sent her home.

They kept in touch from time to time with an ambiguous distance.

They also hadn’t confirmed their relationship.

Daniel said, “All right. I’ll come to see you at night.”

Then he turned around directly.

Looking at his receding figure, Sherry was about to enter the office, but Stella came out.

She asked, “Why is Daniel leaving?”

Sherry shrugged and threw up her hands, meaning she had no idea.

They had roasted fish for lunch. Although Stella felt a bit sickened, it wasn’t serious. She had some.

While eating, they were chatting.

Sherry suddenly noticed that Stella was fond of the pickled cowpea very much. She had eaten it twice in a row.

She asked, “Stella, don’t you think it’s too sour?”

Stella answered, “Not really. It’s a bit spicy, though. A good dish for having rice.”

She also didn’t feel so sickened as earlier.

Winnie took a taste of the pickled cowpea, almost spitting out. “It’s truly sour...” she commented.

Then they looked at Stella weirdly.

Stella was taken aback, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Sherry asked her in a low voice, “When did you have your latest MC?”

“Uh... Last month. It’s not the time this month yet.”

Winnie asked, “Are you pregnant? Have you checked it up?”

Stella paused her hand that was holding a pair of chopsticks. In the past, she occasionally tested it using the

pregnancy test kit. However, after receiving the negative result, she gradually lost interest.

She recalled that the last time she tested it was also last month.

Although she had been taking the medication and expecting to get pregnant, she knew her health condition well.

She knew it might work even if she had taken medicines.

The two feelings mixed, making her feel complicated.

Hence, she hadn’t thought of that possibility when feeling uncomfortable recently.

Sherry stood up instantly. Dragging Stella’s hand, she said, “Stop it. Let’s find a drug store to test.”

Winnie echoed, “Right. Hurry up.”

They dragged Stella into a drug store.

To avoid mistakes, Sherry directly asked the storekeeper for all pregnancy test kits and pressed them into Stella’s

arms. She let her do the test in the ladies’ room.

Winnie and Sherry were outside, waiting nervously.

They felt more uneasy than they did it themselves.

Winnie had heard from Sherry that Stella was preparing to be pregnant. She and Clarence had registered already.

Hence, it was normal for them to have a second baby.

However, it had been several months, but there was no good news.

It was the first time for Winnie to witness such a moment, so she felt excited.

In the ladies' room, Stella was also tense. She took several deep breaths.

Unlike in the past, she seemed to have a considerable expectation this time.

Anyway, her hunch told her that she must be pregnant.

However, if she hadn’t. She would be highly disappointed.

Hence, she dared not to test it after waiting a long time.

...

Stella didn’t come out of the bathroom slowly until a half-hour later.

Sherry and Winnie asked in unison, “How did it go? Are you pregnant?”

Stella looked solemn, so both of them felt uneasy.

Sherry took Stella’s hand and comforted her, “It’s all right. Even... if you are not, you still have chances in the

future. Don’t panic.”

Winnie nodded and echoed, “I agree. You and Mr. Conrad are just married. Your son is still young. No need to hurry

for the second baby. Take it easy.”

Stella looked at them and showed the pregnant test kit -- there were two lines.

It meant she was pregnant.

Stella smiled. Her fingers were trembling. “It’s really... too sudden. I thought I’d been ready for it. But I just realized

I seemed not to be ready at all...”

She talked nonsense and didn’t know what she was saying.

When she almost gave up, luck came to her.

Sherry and Winnie were stunned. Then they hugged Stella together, feeling overjoyed.

Even the patrons in the drugstore took several glances at them.

To avoid impacting others, they soon calmed down.

Stella pulled them out of the drugstore. “Let’s go. We can talk after going back.”

When they went out of the drugstore, they were too excited and delighted to notice two men shooting photos of

them in a car.

After they were gone, the car was about to follow them. Maxwell walked over and knocked on the door. “Give me

the photos you just shot,” he ordered.

The two men played dull. “We pictured the street views only.”

Maxwell didn’t speak while gazing at them.

They panicked under his gaze. Slowly, they pulled out the memory chip and complained, “You are not Winnie

Truman’s bodyguard, are you? Why are you so nosy?”
