Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Half a month later…

Clarence received a call from City N.

Although the Conrads could not create any troubles for him anymore, Clarence was still responsible for the Conrad

Group. Since it was a big company, Nathan would send some important tasks to Clarence every day and other sub-

significant tasks piled up in the company.

If Clarence didn’t come back, his office would not be able to accommodate those documents anymore.

Moreover, if Clarence stayed in Riverside for long, those people would take the chance to create some problems in

City N.

After ending the call, Clarence stood on the balcony for a long time. His back looked somehow aloof.

Stella, who just finished a design, walked to Clarence and asked in a gentle voice, “Are you going back?”

Clarence put one of his hands into his pocket, “I have to come back to deal with some matters. It will take one

month at most.”

Stella said, “I will come back with you.”

She and Clarence went to the laboratory to see the baby twice during this period. The baby’s health condition had

been greatly improved and he didn’t get sick again.

Archer told them that they were on the preliminary stage of the treatment and it had achieved certain effects so

far. It was just that it need an observation stage that lasted for three or four months.

Later, they would figure out a long-term treatment plan according to the baby’s health condition.

Stella knew deep down that it was another long process and it seemed like it didn’t have an end.

They could only come to the laboratory occasionally and it was meaningless for them to stay here.

Furthermore, they should do what they were supposed to do rather than wasting time here.

Clarence looked towards her, “Do you want to leave?”

“What can I do even if I don’t want to leave? I can’t decide on this matter.” Stella looked at the river at the distance

and said blandly, “I can’t help even if I stay here.”

If he asked her to leave before, Stella would not leave the baby in Riverside alone no matter what happened.

But now the situation was different as Dolores was here.

And she was sure that Archer and Darnell wouldn’t hurt the baby.

Staying in the laboratory in Riverside where outsiders were not allowed to enter was much safer than staying by

her side.

Clarence said, “Then we will leave tomorrow afternoon. Would you like to go to the laboratory to see the baby

before leaving?”

Stella gently shook her head, “Don’t bother.”

The baby would cry sadly whenever they came to see him. Archer told them it would inhibit his recovery if he had

great fluctuations in emotions.

Stella asked after a pause “Would you like to see your mom?”

Clarence strode into the house with his long legs, “Nope.”

Stella didn’t say anything and stared dully at the scenery in the distance.

They had been Riverside for almost a month.

It seemed like many things had happened during this short period, while at the same time she also felt like nothing

had happened.

The ones who colluded with Joanna were members of the James family and Darnell was still investigating this. He

told them that he would tell them if he had any news.

Stella didn’t know when this would come to an end.

…

On the next day…

At 10:30 in the evening, a private aeroplane landed in City N.

Stella felt a gush of hot air when she got off the plane.

Comparing to the humid and cool weather in Riverside, the weather in City N was dry and hot.

Although it was midnight, there was no breeze.

When they walked out of the airport and prepared to get into the car, Nathan walked over in strides and said with a

serious expression, “Mr. Conrad…”

Clarence said, “Say it.”

Nathan stammered and stole several glances at Stella. It seemed like he didn’t want to say it in front of Stella.

Stella said, “I will wait for you in the car.”

Clarence grasped her arm, “You can listen to everything about me.”

After finishing the words, he looked towards Nathan and repeated his words coldly, “Say it.”

A trace of sympathy appeared on Nathan’s face as if he was telling Clarence – I gave you a chance, but you insisted

on it.

He coughed and reported, “When I got off the plane, I found Ms. James in the cabin.”

Clarence was lost for words.

Stella raised her brows when she heard the words and asked, “Is her name Elaine James?”

Nathan nodded his head, “Yes.”

Stella intoned, elongating the word, “Oh.”

Clarence looked at Nathan expressionlessly, “Where is she?”

“Behind us.”

“Take her here.”

Two minutes later, Elaine ran towards them with a pink suitcase and waved at Clarence excitedly when she was ten

miles away from them.

Clarence withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, “You also see this. She has a problem with her brain.”

Stella said, “I heard it was you who took part in her birthday party first.”

Clarence quickly shifted the blame, “It was arranged by Nathan.”

Nathan was rendered speechless.

What bad luck to have such a boss.

Right at this moment, Elaine had stopped in front of them. She said all smiles, “What a coincidence. We meet

again.”

Clarence asked, “How did you board the plane?”

Apparently, Elaine didn’t plan to tell him about the truth. “Er… Emm… Anyway, I boarded the plan.”

Clarence didn’t want to talk nonsense with her and said to Nathan, “Send her back.”

Elaine said stubbornly and loudly, “No. I won’t come back. If you send me back to Riverside, I will jump into the

river.”

Clarence said, “Well, watch her if she wants to jump into the river and then tell Darnell to fish her out.”

Elaine was lost for words.

Seeing that she couldn’t persuade Clarence, Elaine looked towards Stella and said aggrievedly, “Beauty, I don’t

want to come back.”

Stella was bewildered.

Why did she come to her?

Elaine said, “Archer told me that you’re a good person. I plead with you. I took great effort to escape from Riverside

and I don’t want to come back.”

Stella recalled the scene in the ancestral hall that day. Elaine didn’t want to marry Darnell and her father slapped

her cheek hard and punished her to kneel in front of the memorial tablets.

But it was the domestic affair of the James family and it was inappropriate for her to intervene in it.

When thinking of this, Stella looked towards Clarence.

Clarence pressed his thin lips together and looked at Elaine coldly. Elaine’s body became a bit stiff. Maybe being

scared, she confessed her real feelings, stammering, “Although Darnell said that he won’t marry me, my father,

grand-grandfather and those doyens want me to marry him so much. If I stay in Riverside, they may kidnap me to

the wedding one day. I heard from my father and grand-grandfather today that you would leave Riverside today, so

I sneaked into the plane.”

Clarence asked, “You don’t want to marry Darnell, so you follow us to City N?”

“Not completely because of it. Most importantly, I like you.”

Clarence sneered, “Send her back to Riverside.”

Elaine hurriedly covered her mouth, “I won’t say it again. I promise, okay?”

Stella touched her brows, feeling it amusing. This girl was quite cute.

She pulled open the car door, “Let’s go.”

Elaine prepared to get into the car when obtaining Stella’ permission, but Clarence grasped her shoulder, “Go to the

car behind.”

Elaine realized that Clarence would not send her back to Riverside when she heard the words and nodded her head

happily.

On the way back, Clarence asked Stella, “Do you want to keep her?”

Stella said, “Aren’t you planning to keep her?”

Clarence replied, “Based on her ability, she wouldn’t have managed to sneak into the plane without causing my

men’s attention.”
