Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

As Elaine was hurried to come to City N before, she didn’t bring many things except for several clothes. Plus that

Clarence ordered Nathan to throw her into the house which was used as a storage house before, Elaine couldn’t

find any living supplies in the house.

When she stepped into the supermarket, she excitedly picked a shopping cart and picked everything she spotted

into the cart.

Clarence walked behind her and said with great dissatisfaction, “Why do you take her out?”

Stella put several boxes of milk into the shopping cart, “Didn’t you notice that she’s very hungry?”

“The researches indicate that a human being will only die of hunger if he/she hasn’t eaten anything for seven days

consecutively.”

Stella was rendered speechless.

The shop downstairs of the building was not a big supermarket and it could only satisfy the residents’ daily use.

Therefore, they finished the whole shop in a short while.

Elaine had filled her shopping cart. Standing in front of the check-stand, Elaine waved at them. When they walked

over, she took out her phone and said, “I will pay the bill.”

When Stella prepared to say something, Clarence said, “Let her pay the bill. This silly girl is rich.”

Elaine pouted. How could he say this?

When the cashier scanned all the goods, she said to Elaine, “Please scan this payment code.”

Elaine scanned the code, but it showed a payment failure.

She murmured to herself in confusion and opened the other payment application.

There was another payment failure.

The cashier stood opposite Elaine and looked at her, maintaining a polite smile on her face.

Elaine felt so awkward that she even wanted to find a hole on the ground to hide herself.

She turned his head stiffly and looked at Stella for help.

Stella smiled and said, “Let me pay it.”

After the payment, Elaine packaged the goods in the shopping cart and she filled three shopping bags in the end.

Elaine stood on the spot, not knowing what to do. Right at this moment, a shopping guide said to her, “Lady, if

you’re not in a hurry, we can send them upstairs to you later.”

When Elaine nodded her head and prepared to say “okay”, Clarence’s voice sounded. “There’re some carts at the

door. Take one and take the bags back yourself.”

“But I…”

When Elaine tried to refuse it, her eyes met with Clarence’s indifferent eyes, which forced her to swallow the words

she tried to say.

She groaned a simple answer, walked out of the shop and found a cart.

Clarence took the shopping bag from Stella’s hand, “Let’s go.”

On the way back, Stella said, “The shop can provide delivery service. Why did you ask her to take them back by

herself?”

“When she was in Riverside, people would help her deal with everything and she is used to it. Therefore, she never

cared about any possible consequence whenever she did anything. This is a lesson for her. The shop can indeed

deliver the goods for her, but she has to solve them herself when she encounters any problems next time.”

Stella curled her lips into a smile, “I didn’t notice it before that you’re quite…”

“What do you want to say?”

Stella said seriously, “Nothing. Will she settle here?”

Clarence replied, “I’m afraid that she will create some troubles. Letting her living near us will make her a bargaining

chin. Whatever will happen in the James family later, we will have a ground for negotiation.”

He paused and then continued, “If you don’t want to see her, I can find a place to arrest her so that she will not run

randomly.”

“It’s unnecessary. Just let it be.”

Soon after they came back home, the fresh fruits and vegetables that Stella ordered online were also delivered.

When Stella was busy in the kitchen, there was a string of doorbells.

Elaine stood at the door holding several bags of snacks, “Can I use these snacks to exchange for lunch?”

Stella chuckled and stepped aside to make way for her, “Come in please.”

A bright smile immediately appeared on Elaine’s face. She put the snacks into Stella’s arms, “Thank you, Stella.”

Stella put the snacks on the tea table, “Take a seat on the sofa and wait for me. I will cook the lunch for you.”

Elaine nodded her head, “Okay.”

After Stella entered the kitchen, Elaine sat on the sofa and looked around curiously. She was so curious about this

house which was filled with babies’ articles and toys.

She spotted several cute dolls in the crib, walked over and picked up a doll.

Right at this moment, Clarence walked out of the bedroom and fixed his eyes on Elaine, “Who asked you to come

here?”

Elaine justified for herself, “Stella has agreed on it.”

Clarence snatched the doll from her arms indifferently and threw it back to the crib, “Although I’ve allowed you to

live here, you should have a sense of appropriateness on some matters.”

Elaine misunderstood it, thinking that he was mentioning the thing in the shop. She stood there with her head

lowered and said aggrievedly and pitifully, “My dad suspended all of my cards…”

“Haven’t you thought of this result before coming here?”

“I…”

Out of instinct, Elaine wanted to refute him, but she didn’t know what she should say.

Of course, she would choose to grab the chance of running away from Riverside if there was one and she was in a

hurry to run away back then. Otherwise, should she wait until being caught by them and forced to marry Darnell?

She didn’t have any mood or time to think about the consequences.

Elaine whispered, “Don’t be so ferocious. I’m not here to break your relationship; instead, I’m here to join you.”

Clarence was rendered speechless.

It seemed like she really had something wrong with her mind.

Clarence didn’t have the mood to continue this topic and said, “Now that you don’t want to come back to Riverside,

I have a condition if you want to stay here.”

Elaine had expected that she couldn’t stay here effortlessly and hurriedly nodded her head, “Spill the beans. I will

agree to it as long as you don’t force me to come back to Riverside.”

“Do the things that you’re supposed to do and don’t trouble any other people.”

Elaine asked tentatively, “What… What things are included?”

Clarence looked at her expressionlessly, “You’re now in City N, not in Riverside. Your maids and security guards are

not by your side. What things are included? What do you think of it?”

Elaine twisted her fingers and pondered it. As she was thinking, her expression turned more and more worried.

After a long while, she stammered an answer with a grievance, “I see.”

Clarence continued, “You said your cards are suspended just now?”

“Oh, yes, can you lend me some money? I will return…”

“I don’t have any money to lend to you. You can seek a job.”

Elaine’s expression turned more worried.

Clarence continued, “Moreover, it’s fine if you want to come here for meals, but you have to wash the dishes after

the meal.”

This was much simpler than the two previously-mentioned matters and Elaine agreed to it without a second

thought.

She curled her lips into a bright smile, however, at the next moment, she asked gingerly and worriedly, “There

won’t be any other matters, right?”

“I will talk with you when I think of any other matters?”

In case that Clarence would suddenly think of other matters, Elaine hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

Clarence sat down on the sofa and took a glance at the toys of the baby. He picked up one toy and studied it, and

then he looked towards the crib, seeming to be pondering something.

Stella, who had prepared the lunch, didn’t know what had happened outside. She thought Elaine was hungry and

said, “Wait a minute. The lunch will be ready soon.”

Elaine couldn’t help but whisper, “Stella, you have a good temper.”

Stella was bewildered.
