Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Lyndon’s room was seriously burnt and she could barely see its original appearance.

The safe on the wall was deformed by the fire and its door hung there loosely. The things in the safe were all burnt to ashes.

When Stella was focused on this, Clarence’s voice sounded from behind, “Was it Adolph who gave you the things?”

Stella gently groaned an answer.

Clarence asked, “How do you know the passwords?”

Stella pulled herself together and replied slowly, “I remembered that my father’s birthday is on the same day with Lyndon’s. They were born on the same day. So I had a try. But I didn’t expect that I would be so lucky.”

Clarence asked, “Do you have any other impression of your father?”

Stella shook her head, “I don’t even remember how he looked like. How will I have other impression of him?”

“Then do you want to see him again?”

Stella, “…”

She turned to look at Clarence and said seriously, “Now I can be sure that my guesses before are all wrong because you always like to say these weird and irrelevant words.”

Clarence curled his lips into a smile, “All right. Have you finished? If you’re finish, let’s leave.”

Since she couldn’t find out anything here, Stella said, “Let’s go.”

She came back to her bedroom and took out her luggage case form the wardrobe. Based on the principle of not wasting anything, she packaged up all the clothes she could wear and took as many as she could.

After getting into the car, Clarence tapped the steering wheel and asked blandly, “What did Adolph request?”

Stella asked while buckling up her seatbelt, “What?”

“He helped you. Didn’t he have any request?”

“No.” Stella replied in a soft tone, “Probably he thought that I had helped him before and didn’t request me for anything.”

Clarence knitted his brows and looked towards Stella, “Do you mean the thing that you sent him to the hospital?”

“Not so. But it’s part of the reasons.”

Clarence, “…”

“Alas, anyway, this matter is quite complicated and I can’t make it clear with you in such a short time. We can talk about this when there’s a chance in the future.”

Clarence said, “Don’t meet him alone in the future.”

Stella paused and then asked, “Is the Conrad family still chasing after him?”

“What do you think of it?”

Stella hesitated for a while and then finally made up her mind and asked, “Er… May I…”

Clarence knew what she wanted to say without pondering it and directly refused it, “No way.”

“I haven’t told you my request.”

“I know clearly what’s in your mind. You want me to deal with the Conrad family so that Dempsey’s men will let go of him, right?”

Stella explained, “I just want to ask whether this is impossible. I won’t force you to do so. Moreover, if it’s inconvenient for you to do so, I won’t bother you.”

Clarence looked askance at her and suddenly chuckled, “Stella, why are you always remembering these petty favors so clearly? Do you forget what he has done to you?”

“I never forget it. It’s just that those things have long been a past. I would rather to remember the kindness of the other people than remembering their evilness. In this way, my life will be better. To be fair, he never takes the initiative to do harm to me. Before it was because Jeffrey borrowed money from a loan shark, and later, it was because…”

Stella didn’t want to mention Modesty. She paused and then said, “Comparing to those things, I think the favors he gave to me deserved to be remembered by me. It doesn’t matter if you can’t deal with this matter. I will try my best to return his favors.”

Clarence slightly narrowed his black eyes, “I can deal with this matter, but I have my condition.”

Stella asked tentatively, “What’s it?”

“Move back to Starry Lake Mansion and live with me.”

Stella pressed her lips together when she heard the words and slightly lowered her head. She didn’t reply at the moment.

Clarence continued, “I know you have many unhappy memories in that place, but I promise that in the rest of my life, I will only create happy memories about that place for you.”

Stella prepared to say something, but Clarence continued again, “Stella, it’s our home.”

Stella was a bit stunned when she heard the words. She couldn’t say anything now.

After a while, she replied in a stuffy voice, “Give me several days to consider it.”

Clarence slightly raised his brows and replied, “Okay.”

Stella winded down the car window and took a glance at the villa which was engulfed by the darkness behind and said, “Let’s go.”

Stella looked out of the window all the way, seeming to be pondering something.

Clarence looked askance at her, licked his thin lips, and said, “Stella.”

Stella pulled herself together and asked, “Yes? What’s the matter?”

“I don’t have too many affairs to deal with in the company in these few days. I can send you to your studio first. Wait for me tonight.”

Stella said, “I have a car too. You can handle with your own affairs.”

Clarence said blandly, “Your car has been broken.”

Stella, “?”

Clarence didn’t change his expression at all. “When Nathan’s subordinate drove your car back, it was rear-ended and then sent for maintenance.”

“I can hail a taxi.”

Clarence, “…”

He said with dissatisfaction, “You don’t want me to give you a ride?”

Stella stretched out lazily, feeling a bit sleepy. “It’s just that I feel it very troublesome. It’s unnecessary. You have some important affairs to deal with in the company, and I can come back alone.”

Clarence said, “Wait until Lyndon and Phoebe are caught.”

Stella knew what he was worrying about and didn’t retort him again.

When she came back to her apartment, Stella took out a set of pajamas and walked into the bathroom. The clothes she was wearing now still had the smell of the smoke.

When the door of the bathroom was closed, Clarence finally retrieved his gaze. His expression turned cold. He took out his phone from the pocket of his pants and dialed Nathan, “What’s the situation now?”

“He’s still in the emergency room. His condition… is not good.”

“Find the best driver and save him.”

Nathan received the order and then said, “Mr. Conrad, I’ve investigated it. Except for man-made mistakes in the brake, the car’s accelerator was also intentionally broken. If he jumped out of the car a minute later, probably…”

Clarence interrupted him in a cold voice, “Enough.”

“Should I investigate the person behind this?”

“Except for Lyndon and Phoebe, who would do this at this critical point of time? Expand the search range and find out these two persons as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Clarence tossed his phone onto the sofa and lifted his hand to rub his nose.

Luckily…

If it was Stella who drove the car tonight, the one lying in the emergency room would be Stella.

In the bathroom…

Stella felt much better after taking the shower and the tiredness disappeared into the thin air.

She half dried her hair and prepared to walk out of the bathroom and go to the kitchen to see whether there was any food. Clarence suddenly walked over and pulled her into his arms.

Stella didn’t expect that he would wait for her at the door. She lifted her arm and patted his shoulder, “Clarence, let go. I feel breathless.”

“I’m the one who feels breathless.”

Stella noticed that his voice was lower than it sounded in usual times. It sounded as if he was enduring something. She didn’t struggle again and said in a soft tone, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Let me hug you for a while.”

Stella, “…”

Was this an excuse for this wretched man to take advantage her?
