Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

On the other side…

Franklin snorted when he heard his subordinate’s report, “They’re now in Riverside, not in City N. He’s way too

arrogant.”

His subordinate remained silent.

Franklin asked a moment later, “Have you found out why he come to Riverside?”

“Not yet. But he has been investing the Master of Riverside and I guess it’s related to him.”

“Darnell James always creates troubles.”

After the death of Bancroft, Darnell became the new patriarch of the James family. Although the family looked calm

on the surface, it was turbulent in fact.

Most of the James thought Darnell was still young and he couldn’t take such a big responsibility, therefore, they

created many troubles for him behind his back.

Although it couldn’t damage Darnell’s foundation, the existence of these people had been a risk. Therefore,

Darnell’s mother proposed the marriage between Elaine and Darnell in an attempt to consolidate the relationship of

the two families so that other people would not gossip about it.

As Franklin served Bancroft before, moreover, once Elaine married Darnell, the child she gave birth to later would

be the next patriarch of the James family.

After careful consideration, he agreed to the proposal.

But he didn’t expect that Clarence would suddenly come to Riverside.

He was afraid that there would be an accident.

Franklin said in a deep voice, “Send dome people to City N and investigate whether there’s anything special in the

Conrad Group or the Conrad family.”

His subordinate nodded his head and immediately carried out the task.

Franklin received a piece of news in half an hour – Dempsey’s wife committed suicide and Dempsey was paralyzed.

He could only lie on the bed, not being able to move or talk.

And Dempsey’s eldest son took him to Canada to see doctors several days ago.

No one in City N could hinder Clarence now.

Franklin knitted his brows tightly, “It’s such important information. But you only find it now?”

His subordinate replied, “They blocked the news deliberately before. Now since Clarence has come to Riverside, the

security in City N weakens, so…”

Franklin pondered for a while and then stood up, “No, Clarence came to Riverside right after the accident in the

Conrad family. This matter must not be so simple. I have to go out. Keep an eye on Elaine and don’t let her run

away.”

His subordinate replied, “Okay.”

Franklin left in a hurry.

…

In the next few days, Stella still didn’t want to talk to Clarence. But that wretched man kept pestering her, which

annoyed her a lot.

But because of this, the depression which was caused by the baby’s sickness and hovered around her was shifted.

Sherry was a doer. She sent the design drawings sent by Stella to the factory and immediately contacted the

models to shoot photos for publicity when the products were produced.

Daniel originally intended to find a photographer, but Sherry insisted on doing it herself.

Ever since her pregnancy, she felt herself almost like a good-for-nothing as she didn’t have to take care of anything

and seldom came to the studio.

If she was still idle, she would feel very uncomfortable.

When the photos for publicity were prepared, their studio officially debuted on various e-commerce platforms.

And it was branded as ‘Starry Sky’.

It was Sherry who decided on the brand’s name. It was Stella who worked hard to develop this brand and she

seldom helped and would do odd jobs at most, therefore, she thought they’d better brand it with the designer’s

name.

Moreover, Sherry was quite satisfied with the brand’s name – ‘Starry Sky’.

However, Stella thought the establishment of the studio and the brand was not simply about her own work, so she

tried to change the brand’s name. But Sherry persuaded her.

As for the debut of the brand on many e-commerce platforms, they didn’t publicize it except for releasing a post to

announce it on their official account.

Even so, many users managed to find it.

The new arrivals all have satisfying sales volumes.

Lying on the sofa and looking at the jewellery on the models on the publicizing photos, Stella felt a surge of weird

emotions.

When she was in university, designing was just one of her hobbies and she never expected she would become a

designer one day.

If not for Horace’s help and encouragement, she would have given up on the aspiration to become a designer.

Seeing that Stella was at a loss with her eyes fixed on the tablet computer, Clarence curled his finger and flipped

her forehead, “What are you thinking?”

Stella rubbed her forehead and replied blandly, “Horace.”

Clarence was lost for words.

Seeing that it was late, Stella put down her tablet computer and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

Unexpected, Clarence followed her into the bathroom.

Stella turned around to look at him, “What do you want to do?”

“I think I’m somehow responsible for it as you think of Horace at this point.”

Stella was confused.

This wretched man is really good at finding excuses for himself.

Clarence closed the door of the bathroom, walked over, grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the slippery

wall. He pinched her chin and gently rubbed her lips with one finger, “I have to accept this grievance and help you

walk out of that unrequited love.”

Stella immediately understood what he wanted to do when looking into his eyes with a burning desire in them.

Over the past days in the hotel, although this wretched man would paw her and do something more intimate than

it, he had never really had sex with her.

Stella was clear that it was because he cared about her feelings. Since the child was still in the laboratory, it was

inappropriate for his parents to indulge in sexual pleasure.

However, judging from Clarence’s gaze, it seemed like he really planned to have sex with her tonight.

Stella twisted the wrist grabbed by Clarence, “No, you can’t do that. Our baby is still in the laboratory, and I…”

“Please be reasonable. His condition has been improved and a group of doctors are taking care of him. What else

are you worried about?”

“But…”

Clarence said slowly, “Stella, no matter what has happened, you have to go on with your wife. No matter how

terrible the situation is, you should work hard to confront it instead of evading it. You can’t confine yourself in a

narrow space, not willing to go out and not allowing others to walk into that private space. You have to walk out of it

yourself, and then you will find that although what has happened cannot be changed, everything is progressing

towards a positive direction.”

Stella was stunned by his philosophical words.

Of course, if he didn’t utter these words in such a scene, Stella would have been convinced by him.

Stella said seriously, “I think what you said is right.”

Clarence curled his lips into a smile. When he was about to kiss her, Stella continued, “But I’m in my period.”

Clarence was lost for words.

He remembered that Stella’s period was supposed to come in these few days.

So he guessed she was not lying.

Stella struggled out of his confinement, pushed him out of the bathroom and locked the door. Then she began to

take a shower at ease.

Standing at the door, Clarence put one hand on his hip and gritted his teeth as if he was so angry.

Right at this moment, his phone which was placed on the sofa rang.

Clarence walked over and answered the call.

Nathan reported, “Mr. Conrad, everything is prepared.”
