Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Stella did not expect that Clarence would bring her to the future showroom model of Anqiao Street.

The showroom was quiet, with soft music playing.

At this time, the person in charge came over, “Mr. Conrad, is there anything I can do for you?”

Clarence said indifferently, “No.”

“Okay, then I’ll pour a glass of water for both of you.”

Stella was looking at the plans carefully when Clarence approached her, “How is it?”

She turned her head to look at Clarence, “I think it’s quite nice. After it’s completed, it shall be the largest resort hotel in Aqock. The architecture is quite distinctive. I think it will attract a lot of people.”

Clarence twitched his eyebrows, probably not expecting her to think of it like that.

He slowly said, “How about the rest?”

“The rest ...”

Stella glanced at the model in front of her again. She looked at the small river in the centre of the hotel and asked in a low voice, “What is this?”

Clarence said, “This is the stream in Anqiao Street which had been widened.”

Stella suddenly realized. No wonder.

In fact, apart from the houses which were full of history on both sides of Anqiao Street, the most distinctive feature was this stream.

When the weather was hot, sitting there and blowing the breeze was even more comfortable than staying in an air-conditioned room.

The stream kept extending to the end of the lake.

The lake had also been re-planned to become a tourist attraction next to the hotel, with small boats floating on it.

Stella looked at the hotel for a while and suddenly realized that the entire architectural style of the hotel seemed to be based on this stream and the lake as a signature, thus adding a fresh blend of elements.

It turned out that they had preserved the main feature of Anqiao Street so that the hotel did not look weird.

After understanding it, Stella said, “How many years will it take to complete?”

“Three years if it’s fast, five if it’s slow.”

Stella nodded. At a glance, this project was huge, three years was considered quite fast actually.

She said, “Then, after this place is built, let’s come here for a tour.”

Clarence hooked the corner of his lips, “Alright,”

...

It was already evening when they returned to City N.

Sitting in the car, when Stella opened her phone, it showed that she had several missed calls from strangers.

She glanced at Clarence secretly and pursed her lips after finding that he was reading the information.

When she arrived at her home, she went into her bedroom, shut the door and dialled the numbers when Clarence did not pay attention to her.

“Is there something wrong?”

Adolph said, “Are you not in City N?”

Stella said, “I went to Aqock two days ago and I’m already back. I was on the plane when you called me. What happened?”

Adolph said, “I think you can come over tomorrow. I should have found what Jeffrey hid in this house.”

Stella was puzzled, “Hidden things?”

“Yes, I’ll tell you the details tomorrow.” After a pause, Adolph added, “It will be better if you call your brother to come along.”

Stella gripped the phone and sensed the seriousness of the matter, “Okay, I know.”

After hanging up the phone, Stella dialled Channing’s number and asked if he had classes tomorrow.

Channing said, “There’s only one session in the afternoon.”

“Okay, I’ll pick you up then and we’ll go back together.”

“Did Jeffrey get into trouble again?”

“No, Jeffrey ... won’t be able to cause any trouble.”

Although Stella never asked Clarence how he dealt with Jeffrey, she thought that it would not be a good outcome.

More than that, she did not want to know.

She just assumed that Jeffrey had died in the prison.

Channing said, “Then I’ll wait for you at the school gate.”

Stella agreed and put away her phone when the bedroom door was opened.

Clarence said, “Who are you talking to for so long?”

“Chan. I’m going to meet him tomorrow.”

“For what?”

Stella opened her mouth but she did not tell him about Adolph. Clarence did not like her to meet Adolph. Moreover, she did not know what the actual situation was. She planned to tell him later on.

She was calm, “Nothing. I haven’t met him for a long time. As an elder sister, I have the responsibility to care for him.”

Clarence agreed, “You’re right, as a brother-in-law, I can’t abandon him either.”

Stella was speechless.

She pushed him outside, “You don’t have to follow me all the time, go and do your work.”

Clarence then wrapped his arms around her waist, “Alright, just teasing you. Going to take a shower?”

“You go and wash up, I ...”

“Together.”

Stella could not protest in time before she was brought to the bathroom.

...

The next day, just after walking to the basement, she saw Nathan standing in front of a brand new Bentley, looking at them with a smile, “Mr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil.”

Seeing this, Stella turned her head to look at Clarence. She inclined her head.

Clarence took the key from Nathan and handed it to her, “The previous one hasn’t been repaired yet, you can drive this one first, it’s not convenient to always drive other people’s car.”

Stella said, “Does it take that long to repair a tailgate...”

Nathan stepped forward, “Ms. Radomil, it’s like this, the tailgate is not a big problem, the problem is the insurance issue. They haven’t yet negotiated properly so they leave the evidence in the insurance company.”

Stella did not know much about these things either, she just simply gave some responses, “Okay.”

She opened the car door and said to Clarence, “I’ll leave first then.”

Clarence pursed his thin lips. He went forward to hold her wrist, “Be careful.”

Stella nodded, “I always drive carefully. I won’t drive very fast.”

“What I mean is, before you get in the car, check if the door has been opened by someone. Make sure the seat belt, the brakes, the accelerator are all okay before you set off. No matter where you are, if you encounter someone you don’t know knocking on the car window, don’t open it, lock it and call me.”

Stella had actually rarely seen Clarence spoke to her in such a serious manner, which made her feel a little strange.

She tentatively asked, “What’s wrong?”

“No, just be careful, unless you want me to pick you up and drop you off every day.”

“... Thank you, I’ll be cautious.”

After saying that, Stella hurriedly got into the car.

Clarence hooked the corners of his lips. He stood outside and knocked on the car window.

After a few seconds, the window was lowered slowly. Stella showed her face, “Is there anything else?”

Clarence said, “I have a meeting this afternoon, I don’t know when it will end, you don’t have to wait for me after work, come back by yourself.”

“Got it.” Stella said, “Then, I’ll leave first?”

Clarence withdrew his hand and stuck it in the pocket of his trouser, “Alright.”

The car window rose and the white Bentley disappeared from sight in a split second.

Nathan walked over, "Mr. Conrad, why didn’t you just tell Ms. Radomil about the car accident?"

Clarence spoke indifferently, “She was tensed when she stayed in the Steward family. She has just calmed down. Don’t tell her first and send someone to keep a close eye on the area around the studio. Don’t let Phoebe’s or Charles’ men have a chance to put her in danger.”

“Okay.”
