Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

When Stella was about to leave, she saw Annie walk over.

She wondered if all people from the Conrad family were always haunting her.

As if she hadn’t seen Stella, Annie stood beside Horace. “Hi, Horace. Why didn’t you pick up my phone

calls?”

No matter how good-tempered Horace was, he was so fed up with Annie’s shameless pesters.

Especially in recent few days, she could always find him no matter where he had been.

Horace said in a cold tone, “Miss Conrad, please don’t come to bother me anymore.”

Annie’s expression changed dramatically in an instant. She glared at Stella in hatred. “It’s all because

of her, isn’t it? Your attitude wasn’t like this before you came back from abroad. It’s all this bitch’s

fault...”

“Enough!” Horace stood up. “Annie Conrad, can you just stop making trouble out of nothing here?”

“Am I making trouble out of nothing? Horace, our parents have met each other. We’ll get engaged

sooner or later. Shouldn’t I...”

Expressionlessly, Horace interrupted her, “I’ll never engage with you. Miss Conrad, please be self-

respected. Otherwise, you would shame your Conrad family’s dignity.”

This time, before Annie retorted, they heard a man’s indifferent voice. “Mr. Jason, since you’re so

reasonable, why are you still pestering my wife?”

Upon hearing Clarence’s voice, Stella felt as if her heart was about to pop out from her throat. She

wondered since when he had been standing there and how much he had heard about the conversation

between Horace and her.

Seeing Clarence, Annie immediately became less aggressive. She greeted him in a low voice, “Hi,

Clarence.”

Clarence cast her a glance, then looked over at Horace.

Horace pressed his thin lips and looked into Clarence’s eyes.

Although standing quite far away from them, Nathan could feel the sparks from them in the air

Horace answered, “Mr. Conrad, haven’t you divorced Stella? Why are you here? Mr. Conrad, I wonder

if you have another purpose.”

Clarence didn’t answer. He licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue, his eyes becoming colder and

colder.

Stella didn’t understand why she had to be involved in the war between those two men, and nor would

she want to know why Clarence was here.

She whispered, “Horace, let’s go.”

Horace withdrew his gaze from Clarence. “Okay.”

Seeing that they were about to leave here, Annie wanted to chase them. Clarence said in a cold tone,

“Stop.”

Annie looked back at him anxiously, “Clarence...”

Clarence looked at her. “This is my last warning to you. Never insult Stella again. You can’t believe like

a spoiled arrogant woman in her presence.”

After finishing his words, he bypassed Annie and strode away.

Out of the restaurant, Stella said after a moment of silence, “I’m going back to work now.”

“Stella,” Horace stopped her, “Please consider about my words just now.”

Stella smiled at him. “Horace, I do appreciate you are still willing to take my side at this moment, but so

many things have happened in the past three years. Sometimes I wished how wonderful it would be if

those accidents had never happened.”

After a long while, Horace asked, “Stella, do you like Clarence Conrad?”

“What?” Stella was taken aback. She couldn’t utter a sound for a long while.

Horace, however, had got his answer. He smiled and suddenly decided to let go. “I got it. I won’t speak

such words to you in the future. I’ll always be there for you as a friend.”

After a long time, Stella said, “Thank you, Horace.”

...

Stella hailed a taxi to Sherry’s after leaving the restaurant.

She texted Sherry several times but didn’t get any response. She guessed that Sherry should still be

sleeping.

Leaning against the car window, Stella looked at the scenery in a daze.

Maybe it was because of Horace’s question, Stella was lost in thought on the way. When she walked

on the stairs, she almost fell.

She walked out of the elevator and stood at the door for a few seconds. Then she patted her face to

sober up.

Since breaking up with Liam, Sherry changed the password on the lock. Last night, when they sent

Sherry home, they used her fingerprint. Hence, Stella didn’t know the password at all. Raising her

hand, she pressed the doorbell.

If Sherry was sleeping, she wouldn’t hear it. Stella pulled her phone out and was about to call her.

However, before she dialed Sherry’s number, Stella’s wrist was grabbed by someone. The man

pressed her against the wall tightly.

Stella gaped at the man in front of her. “What are you doing?”

Clarence looked cold. With one hand grip to control her wrists, he raised her chin with the other hand.

He squinted his dangerous black eyes. “Didn’t Horace Jason give you a ride?”

Stella didn’t know what he was doing. Trying her best to struggle, she retorted, “None of your

business.”

“What a pity! He should have given you a ride.”

“You... Hmm!”

Clarence sealed her lips, biting violently.

In an instant, Stella burst into tears in pain, but she couldn’t break free from his grip.

She wondered if this wretched man had gone nuts.

As if he noticed her tears, Clarence became more gentle when kissing her. Sucking her lips, he tried to

reach into her mouth deeper and deeper.

Right then, the door beside them was opened suddenly.

Sherry was standing at the door with messy hair. With dizzy eyes, she looked up. When seeing the

scene, she was stunned.

Clarence stopped kissing Stella. Turning around, he gazed at Sherry coldly, impatience written all over

his face.

After a few seconds, Sherry said in a daze, “I’m sorry. Please go on.”

Then she smashed the door close. Stella pushed him away with all her strength. With reddish eyes,

she snapped, “Clarence Conrad, what is wrong with you?”

Clarence licked the blood on his lips. He looked at her and said steadily, “I’ve given you a lot of

chances.”

However, she never appreciated them.

“I don’t care about your so-called chances. Clarence Conrad, we divorced. Do you understand what

divorce means? Who do you think you are to do such thing to me against my will?”

Clarence frowned unhappily. “You proposed the divorce.”

“All right. The other one who has signed on the divorce agreement was a dog, wasn’t he?”

Clarence’s expression didn’t change at all. “I regret it.”

Stella probably had never expected that she could hear such an answer. She was completely startled.

Her tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, didn’t drip.

He said indifferently again, “I’m the only one to decide when our marriage ends.’

Stella gradually calmed down. “Sorry for making you disappointed then.”

Clarence pressed his thin lips. When he was about to speak, the door beside them was open again.

Sherry had already sobered up. Before Clarence could react, she directly pulled Stella into her

apartment.

Then she closed the door and locked it.

Looking at Stella, Sherry whispered to ask, “Are you OK, Stella?”

Stella’s hair was messy, her eyes were reddened, and her mouth was bleeding and swollen.

She looked miserable.

Stella shook her head. She wanted to speak but felt too helpless.
