Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Stella continued after several seconds of pause, “You also said that. They’re all young girls. Maybe he likes…”

“Maybe he likes a boy?”

Stella was rendered speechless.

“Not so. He likes a girl.”

Winnie chuckled, “I know it. It’s just a joke. But to be honest, your brother is handsome. He’s smart and has good

performance in study. Everyone will like him. So you don’t have to worry about this.”

It was Channing’s own business after all, so Stella didn’t tell her about the truth. She nodded her head slightly.

After a short while, Stella asked, “Do you have any schedule later?”

Winnie replied, “I don’t have any schedule recently. Probably I will have some variety shows. But I have to go to the

filming base two months later.”

With Winnie’s company, Stella didn’t feel bored.

The afternoon passed by unknowingly.

When seeing Clarence, Winnie sensibly found an excuse and left.

Clarence walked into the ward, “What did she say to you?”

“Nothing. We just have some chitchat.” Stella asked, “When will I be discharged from the hospital tomorrow?”

“In the afternoon. I have a meeting in the morning.”

Stella said, “You can deal with your work. I can handle it myself.”

Clarence didn’t change his mind, “You can only leave until I come.”

Stella couldn’t help murmuring to herself, “What an overbearing condition.”

Clarence said slowly, “Or I can ask your brother to come here and go through the procedures for you.”

Stella picked up the pillow behind herself and threw it towards him, “How can you do so?”

Clarence reached out to catch the pillow and curled his lips into a smile, “I have a piece of good news and a piece

of bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?”

“Neither.”

“Then never mind.”

Stella was rendered speechless.

After a short while of silence, she looked towards Clarence, “Say it.”

“Didn’t you say you don’t want to know them?”

Stella grabbed the other pillow and threw it towards Clarence.

A trace of a smile flashed across Clarence’s black eyes. He decided not to tease her anymore, “Armand has

transferred his assets into several overseas accounts in these two days.”

“Is this the good news, or the bad one?”

“A bad one.” Clarence continued, “This means Armand plans to run away. Once he leaves City n, the Steward Group

will have to take the responsibility for the troubles he caused before.”

Stella furrowed her brows and asked, “What about the good news?”

“The good news is that Armand is involved in a criminal case of attempted murdered and he is barred from leaving

the country.”

Stella was a bit stunned, “Attempted murder?”

Clarence asked in a calm voice, “Do you remember Arthur?”

“Yes. But didn’t he…”

“As for his case, the murder has not been found. It’s appropriate to use his case to control Armand.”

Stella curled her lips into a smile, “Did you do it?”

Clarence raised his brows, “Although I like to see your eyes full of admiration and appreciation towards me, it’s

pitiful that it has nothing to do with me.”

Stella ignored him.

After a short while, Clarence continued, “he will leave tomorrow afternoon. Are you going to send him?”

Stella slightly pressed her lips together, “No I think. Do I have any standpoint?”

“It’s an easy thing to find an excuse.” Clarence said slowly, “As his partner, it’s reasonable for me to see him off.

You’re my wife. Isn’t it reasonable for you to accompany me there?”

“Then I have to thank you.”

“You’re welcome. I’m your husband and this is what I should do.”

Stella slid into the bed, “I don’t know. Let me consider it. Don’t talk to me again.”

When she finished the words, Clarence became silent.

After hiding herself under the quilt for a while, Stella popped out her head and found Clarence was sitting on the

sofa and reading a document. She said, “Give me a pillow.”

Clarence looked up at her. He didn’t reply and simply raised his chin, suggesting het to get the pillow by herself.

Stella got out of the bed and walked towards him. When she picked up the pillow next to him, Clarence grabbed her

wrist. At the next second, she fell into the man’s warm embrace.

Before she could say anything, Clarence leaned forward and landed a kiss on her lips. He clasped the back of her

head with his big palm.

Stella gasped, feeling dizzy after the kiss. She pressed her hands against his chest, “Why… Why did you suddenly

take advantage of me?”

Clarence wrapped his arms around her waist, “Didn’t you ask me to be quiet?”

“So this is how you interpret it?”

“Or else?”

Stella patted his hand, “Let go. I want to go to sleep.”

“It’s still early. Can’t you fall asleep?”

Stella’s remained unmoved, “I can fall asleep when I close my eyes.”

Clarence snorted softly, “Don’t sleep. I will give you some tasks.”

“We’re in the hospital now. You…”

Clarence was amused, “Does it matters even if we’re in the hospital?”

“We will be arrested if we do something indecent in such a sacred place.”

Clarence was rendered speechless.

He said, “Since you said so, I have to doubt your job.”

Stella was confused.

Clarence took out a white paper from the document file, “Do you forget what you owe me?”

“Based on your words, it seems like I owe you a lot. How can I know which matter you’re mentioning?”

“It’s good that you know you owe me a lot.”

Looking at the pen handed by him, Stella vaguely understood what he meant. She declined it, “It’s not good to do

so. I’m still a patient and I can’t deal with the tasks which require great mental effort. Let’s wait until…”

When Stella prepared to run back to the bed, she was grabbed by Clarence.

He said, “I’m right here. How will it be mentally tiring?”

Stella said, “Oh gosh, I feel dizzy again. Can you call the doctor for me?”

Clarence looked at her expressionlessly.

Stella was rendered speechless.

Struggling in her mind for several seconds, she surrendered and took the pen from Clarence.

She secretly painted his portrait several times before and she was passionate when doing that. But now when he

was sitting in front of her and fixing his eyes on her when she was painting, it gave her great pressure. How could

she draw a picture under such an atmosphere?

Stella said, “Then let go. I will sit opposite you. I can draw the picture with such a posture.”

Clarence let go of her.

Stella quickly stood up, picked up the pen and the paper and sat down on the bed opposite to him. She tried several

times, yet still couldn’t draw anything. In the end, she began to bite the nib.

Seeing this, Clarence knitted his brows and said, “It’s dirty.”

Stella coughed and adjusted her posture, “Don’t move. I will begin to draw your portrait. Don’t talk to me because it

will disturb my creation. For something like inspiration, it will not appear again if it is disturbed.”

“Okay.”

Hearing his agreement, Stella secretly curled her lips into an inexplicable smile and then quickly drew his portrait on

the paper.

In less than five minutes, she put down the pen, “It’s done.”

Clarence didn’t believe it, “It’s so quick. Are you offhand with me?”

“I’m so sleepy. I have to go to bed. Good night.”

As she said so, she put the picture under her pillow and closed her eyes.
