Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

When Stella woke up, she found the sun outside was so bright.

She turned over her body and groped for her phone with her eyes closed.

When she saw the time, she abruptly sat up on the bed. ‘Why it was suddenly eleven o’clock?’ She

asked herself.

Stella hurriedly got out of the bed. When she opened the door of her bedroom, she saw Clarence

walking towards her with a bag in his hand, “Awake?”

Stella said with regrets, “When did wake up? Why didn’t wake me up?”

“You were in sound sleep. So I want to let you sleep for a more while.”

“But I’m late!”

Clarence asked, “Aren’t you off today?”

Stella, “…”

She suddenly calmed down herself.

That was it.

Today was Sunday.

She had been working for several consecutive recently and she almost came to the studio every day.

Therefore, she almost forgot she still had Sunday.

Yawning, Stella walked into her bedroom, “Then I will go back to sleep.”

Clarence wrapped her waist from behind, “Don’t go to bed again. It’s rare for you to have a day off.

Shall we go out for a date?”

Stella turned around and asked, “Will we go to see a movie again? Oh come on.”

Clarence, “…”

Seeing this, Stella curled her lips into a smile as her mood was greatly improved. Her sleepiness was

all gone. Stella took the bag that had a dress in it from him and walked into the bedroom.

However, just as she began to change her cloth, the door was opened.

Stella hastily covered her chest with the dress and spoke unhappily, “Why don’t you knock at the door

before coming in?”

Clarence said, “If you think that you’re taken advantage by me, I can show you my naked body too.”

When speaking, he began to unbutton his shirt.

Stella, “…”

She hurriedly stopped him, “Stopppp!”

Stella turned her back to him and hurriedly tried to put on her cloth.

However, the buckles of her bra seemed to be against her and she couldn’t buckle it no matter how

hard she tried.

Right at this moment, the man’s low voice sounded from behind, “Do you need my help?”

Stella surrendered to the reality.

Her ears got red as she said, “Hurry up.”

Clarence raised his brows and buckled her bra effortlessly.

But before he could take action again, Stella had already ran away from him and put on the dress.

After dressing up, Stella asked, “Where are we going?”

“To a painting exhibition.”

“When will it begin?”

Clarence took a glance at the clock and then replied, “It still has enough time left. We can set off after

having lunch.”

When Stella was washing up herself, the phone that was thrown onto the sofa by Clarence before rang.

He picked up the phone and walked out of the bedroom to answer it, “Say it.”

“Mr. Conrad, Dempsey confronted Modesty face to face. But Modesty refused that she had done those

things and shifted all the blames onto Adolph, Phoebe and Aurora.”

Clarence chuckled as if he was not surprised.

The person at the other end of the phone continued, “Initially, Dempsey intended to arrange his men to

get rid of Modesty, but…”

“But what?”

“He was stopped by Young Master Justin.”

Clarence replied in a bland tone, “I see.”

“Shall we continue to keep an eye on Modesty?”

Clarence said in a flat tone, “No need. She has betrayed Phoebe and Aurora. Do you think that they

are people to be trifled with?”

Since Modesty had got Phoebe and Aurora involved, Dempsey would definitely not swallow this

grievance. He wouldn’t let go of them easily, no matter it be Phoebe or Aurora.

As for Modesty, she would have to confront Arthur.

When Clarence just put the phone into his pocket, Stella walked out of the bathroom, “What’s the

matter?”

She seemed to hear to familiar names just now.

“Nothing.” Clarence then asked, “Are you ready?”

Stella replied, “Yep.”

…

As today was Sunday, many people also came to this painting exhibition, which added some

boisterousness to this quiet art place.

Stella and Clarence walked around. After a while, Stella pointed at a painting in surprise, “This one, oh,

I also saw this when I came here last time. I didn’t expect that I can still see if after many years.”

Clarence titled his head and asked, “Have you been here?”

Stella blinked her eyes and then withdrew her gaze guilt-stricken, “Y…Yep.”

“When?”

“When I was in university.”

Clarence asked again, “With Horace?”

Stella smiled at him. She didn’t answer this question and walked forward.

Clarence gritted his teeth and caught up with her.

He spoke in a bland tone, “I didn’t expect that you were quite free in university.”

Stella suddenly had a feeling that the whole exhibition hall was full of jealousy. She curled her lips and

said, “Not that free. But even though I was busy, I should still find some time to date the person that I

have a crush on.”

Clarence sneered. He didn’t spoke again.

They continued to walk forward. Several minutes later, Stella suddenly saw a familiar person not far

away, and that person also found her soon.

Sherry ran over, “Stella, had I known that you would come to this painting exhibition too, I would have

invited you to come with me together. I thought you would have a rest at home today.”

Stella smiled awkwardly, “We decided to come here on the spur of the moment. Did you come with

Daniel?”

Sherry looked backwards and subconsciously pouted, “Yep. But he was nowhere to be found after

coming to this hall. Now that he’s so busy, he shouldn’t have agreed to come with me. I can’t find him

now. How annoying!”

Sherry paused and then continued, “Oh, by the way, do you remember that we skipped the class and

came to a painting exhibition in the junior year? I remember you were so fond of a painting back then. I

saw that painting just now.”

Just as Sherry finished her words, the man’s voice suddenly sounded from beside, “Skipping the

class?”

Sherry hurriedly turned around, “Mr. Conrad, you also came here.”

Stella coughed and tried to pull Sherry away. But Sherry didn’t understand her suggestion and

shivered, “We skipped the class several years ago. Are you going to blame us now?”

Clarence suddenly chuckled when he heard the words, “It’s just a casual question. Except for you two,

did anyone go with you?”

“As for skipping the class, of course the less participant, the harder it would be for the teacher to find it.

Who would skip the class in group?” Sherry’s voice became lower and lower. She touched her neck

and asked Stella in whisper, “What’s wrong with Mr. Conrad. He’s so horrifying now…”

Stella wished so much that she could find a crack on the ground to hide herself.

She just wanted to joke at this wretched man.

But she didn’t expect that she would suffer the consequence so quickly.

Clarence said, “I have to go out to deal with something now. I will be back soon.”

After his leaving, Sherry couldn’t help but click her tongue, “Men are all the same. When women ask

them to hang out together, they would find an excuse to leave.”

Stella heaved a sighed silently. She thought it was worse than sleeping at home.

Sherry withdrew her lines of sights and looked towards Stella, “By the way, Stella, that Arthur Barnett

called me this morning.”

Stella knitted her brows and asked, “He called you?”

“Yep. Seems like it’s still for the cooperation and franchise. I though he must have something wrong

with his brain and hung up the phone directly.

Stella pressed her lips together, “I guess he came to find you because I had been ignoring him.”

Sherry said, “But why does he suddenly stop fighting against Modesty? I’ve been waiting for the follow-

ups.”
