Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

In the evening…

When Stella was packing up her things in the room, she heard a string of gentle knocking sounds on

the door, “Stella, are you sleeping?”

Stella opened the door, “Ms. Anderson.”

Dolores saw the luggage case and asked, “I heard that Clare will come back tomorrow, are you going

back with him?”

Stella nodded her head, “I have to come back to City N to deal with something.”

Dolores handed a bag to her, “Here are some small weavings I made recently. Take them with you.

Maybe you will use them one day.”

“Thank you, Ms. Anderson.” Stella took the bag and asked, “Ms. Anderson, aren’t you going back to

City N again?”

Dolores curled her lips into a light smile, “I will not come back again. There’re no memorable memories

for me there.”

“Then Clarence…”

“It depends on himself. If he has time, he can come here to visit me. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have

time. After all, I have never assumed the responsibilities that a mother should take.”

Stella didn’t know what she should say at the moment. She could only nod her head silently.

Several seconds later, Dolores continued, “Stella, I don’t know what happened between you and Clare

and I don’t have the qualification to comment on the things between you two. But… Clare, my kid, it’s

true that sometimes his temper is annoying. But he has always been firm in speech but soft in heart. I

learned from my observation during this period of time that indeed he cares about you a lot. It’s just that

he doesn’t know how to express his feelings.”

Even if Dolores didn’t tell her about this, Stella could still feel by herself that Clarence was just hard in

speech.

Moreover, he grew up in the Conrad family, a place where was full of intrigues, hence he was

accustomed to think that all people were evil and would weigh up all the pros and cons to the greatest

extend.

It was because Stella was so clear of these that she wanted to keep away from Clarence as far as

possible to prevent being involved in the power struggle between him and the Conrad family.

Nevertheless…

Stella looked down at her belly. She roughly knew why Clarence didn’t expect this child’s birth.

But she was a mother who had once lost a child and now she was pregnant again. She thought this

was a blessing from the god and she would by no means deprive its chance to come to this world.

After a long while, Stella spoke, “Ms. Anderson, I and Clarence are unmatched in many aspects. The

reason why we got married before is that…”

Stella suddenly chuckled, “Anyway, I’m the one to be blamed and I should bear the consequences.”

Dolores sighed in her heart. She didn’t say anything else. Before leaving, she told Stella to take good

care of herself and feel free to call her if she had any problems.

When Stella was about to close the door, she saw Clarence standing not far away and staring at her

coldly.

“…”

She twitched her mouth corners, “Mr. Conrad.”

With one hand in his pocket, Clarence said in an extremely indifferent voice, “Tell me, what

consequences did you bear?”

‘I bear your cynicism and harsh words over the past three years, you wretched man!’ Stella thought to

herself.

She replied honestly, “Divorce is the consequence that I ought to bear.”

“Stella, if you think that divorce means nothing has happened, I have to say that your thought is really

simple and naïve.”

“I know this will possibly not be able to recover any damage. Mr. Conrad, maybe in your eyes, I’m

having some other intentions, but this is the only thing that I can do.”

“If you really plan to bear the consequences, you should think over what you should do when then

Conrad family learns about your pregnancy.”

Clarence turned around and came back to his bedroom after finishing the words.

Stella was frozen on the ground. She finally realized that Clarence’s acquiescence of the child’s

delivery had a premise – the Conrad family hadn’t learned about her pregnancy.

This meant that once the Conrad family found out her pregnancy, Clarence would not give her any

chance.

Stella only came to her own senses after a long while. She felt her fingers icy-cold.

Sitting by the bedside, Stella looked out of the window in confusion.

Could she really protect her child? Could she prevent the Conrad family from learning about its

existence and deliver it safe and sound?

Stella pondered for a while. Actually, she didn’t have too many contacts with the Conrad family. Except

for Annie Conrad, she barely had any interactions with the other members of the Conrad family.

Although she came into contact with Justin Conrad for some work reasons, she thought that Justin

would not order customized jewelry for his mother all the time.

Therefore, theoretically, nothing bad would happen as long as she could evade that crazy Annie.

Stella heaved a sigh of relief and continued packing up her things. She put the small stockings and

small clothes weaved by Dolores into her luggage case.

Although she had comforted herself just now, Stella still felt inexplicably worried.

She then saw the pile of baby products in her room. Hesitating for a long while, she finally walked out

of the room and knocked at the door of Clarence’s bedroom. She kept down her voice and asked, “Mr.

Conrad, are you sleeping?”

The door was opened after two minutes and it seemed like Clarence was woken up by Stella. With

impatience written all over his face, he tried hard suppress his temper, “Stella, I remember that I told

you before. Dare you to bother me in the midnight…”

Stella retorted him in a low voice, “You didn’t allow me to call you in the midnight, but you didn’t say

that I can’t come to find you in the midnight.”

Clarence was rendered speechless.

Ignoring his bad attitude, Stella continued, “It’s about the child. Mr. Conrad, I want to talk with you.”

“Spill the beans.”

“I promise that I will try my best to evade meeting members of the Conrad family no matter whether I’m

going. But… But my ability is limited, so Mr. Conrad, I want to ask for your help. You must have

approaches to prevent them from finding out my pregnancy.”

Clarence looked at her calmly, “Why should I help you.”

Stella pressed her lips together, “Mr. Conrad, you bought many baby products today. You…”

“It’s just a random thought and this can’t prove anything.”

Stella had expected this answer from him.

After pondering for a few seconds, she gently tugged his sleeve, “I beg you.”

Clarence fixed his black eyes on her. With his Adam’s apple popping up and down, he quickly shifted

his gaze, “I don’t see any sincerity from you.”

“…”

Stella pouted and withdrew her hand, “Then Mr. Conrad, what do you want me to do?”

“Move back to Starry Lake Mansion, I can help you to keep it a secret from the Conrad family. But if

they find it out when you’re outside the mansion, it will have nothing to do with me.”

Stella hadn’t expected that his requirement would be so simple and easy. Comparing to the conditions

that were so demanding and deprived her rights as a human being, this requirement was much better.

Moreover, moving back to Starry Lake Mansion meant that she was much safer to some extent.

After that, she would only commute from her company and the mansion and she thought there would

not be any accident.

Seeing that Stella still remained silent, Clarence looked dissatisfied.

This woman still didn’t know what was good for her, just as she did in the past.

When he was about to say something, Stella said in a soft voice, “Dealt. I will move back.”
