Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

At two o’clock in Saturday afternoon...

Stella and Elaine arrived at the entrance of the exhibition centre according to the address on the invitation card.

As Stella expected, a lot of designers had received the invitation cards. When she got out of the car, she saw a lot

of familiar faces.

Besides, a lot of female stars attended the exhibition, too, including Flora.

Flora got down and walked into the exhibition centre, surrounded by a group of bodyguards. She didn’t look around,

so she didn’t see Stella and Elaine.

Seeing that, Elaine asked curiously, “Can’t she see the light? Why do they have to surround her every time?”

Stella smiled and said, “Probably.”

Elaine felt sorry for Flora, “How pitiful,” she remarked.

Stella said, “All right. Let’s go in.”

Since the jewellery exhibition centre was private, it was medium-sized, enough to hold dozens of guests.

The lights in the exhibition centre were cool-coloured, quite dim. Each piece of jewellery was placed in a showcase

with gentle light at the bottom.

A staff member was standing next to each showcase, answering questions from the invited designers.

Stella knew the origins of almost all the jewellery, but it was her first time to see them in her life.

Elaine stopped in front of a showcase, staring at the jewellery inside. She said, “Stella, this one is gorgeous.”

Stella walked over, only to find a ring in the showcase. It was not so luxurious as others with a neat design. Except

for pink gen in the middle, there were no other gems on it. However, its design was exquisite.

Whether a person knew about the jewellery design or not, they would be attracted by it.

The staff member noticed they were pretty interested, so he said, “Ladies, you do have good taste. This was the

favourite ring of our madam when she was alive. She was reluctant to wear it.”

Stella gazed at the ring and asked, “Could you please tell us about its history?”

“Of course,” the staff member said, “However, about the ring’s history, our madam didn’t tell us many details. I can

give you some accurate information, though.”

“Sure.”

The staff member continued, “Madam said it was a ring from a rich young man. He used it to propose to his

girlfriend. It was a customized ring. The pink gem on this ring is quite rare, meaning ‘I want to give you a lifetime

romance’. A lot of people envied that girl.

“Later, there was a charity auction. Men and women from wealthy families were unwilling to donate valuable

things, so the charity auction was almost stopped. The girl who was proposed discussed with her husband and

decided to donate this ring.

“That lady said since her husband, and she had been happy already, she was willing to let the ring help those

people who needed happiness more than she did.

“No one expected that she was willing to donate this priceless ring. Hence, those hypocritical rich men and women

also donated something to the charity auction, so the activity was held finally.

“In the end, our madam bought this ring. She often said this was not only a ring but also a sign of love. An unlucky

person might not be able to encounter such love in their whole lifetime.”

Elaine concentrated when listening to the staff member. After he finished speaking, she said enviously, “They must

be leading a happy life now. Thirty years ago... Their children should have been married as well.”

The staff member said with concerns, “Probably even God envied this kind of love. More than twenty years ago, an

accident happened to their family. Their family of three died in an explosion.”

Upon hearing it, Stella was startled.

Elaine also looked shocked, “How could it happen?”

The staff member shook his head, “I don’t know much about the details. I heard it from our madam.”

When Elaine was about to ask something again, she heard a man’s voice at her back, “Hello, Elaine? Ms. Radomil?”

Elaine looked back, “Hi, Uncle...”

Caesar looked at her, “Why are you crying?”

Elaine wiped her eyes, only to find her tears. She whispered, “I just heard the origin of this ring. It’s a touching

story.”

Caesar smiled, “Little girl.”

Stella closed her eyes aside. After taking a deep breath, she slowly turned around, “Hi, Mr. James,” she greeted

him.

Caesar noticed that her eyes were reddened. He asked, “Ms. Radomil, are you also touched by this story?”

Stella put a wry smile but didn’t answer.

The staff member bowed at them politely and stood aside.

Elaine asked, “Uncle, why are you here?”

Caesar answered, “I heard there’s a jewellery exhibition here today, so I dropped by. I didn’t expect I could meet

you both here.”

After a pause, he continued, “I’ve just arrived. Let’s take a look together?”

Elaine nodded, “Sure.”

Caesar gestured to let Stella and Elaine walk in front.

For the following time, Stella had been absent-minded always. She wasn’t interested in other pieces at the jewellery

exhibition at all.

Suddenly, a staff member bumped into her when passing by.

Stella lost her balance and fell. Someone helped her up, “Are you all right, Ms. Radomil?”

She returned to her senses and stood up immediately, “I’m fine. Thanks.”

Caesar withdrew his hand in mid-air, “Ms. Radomil, you look a bit pale. Do you need some fresh air?”

Stella nodded, “Let me get some fresh air outside. Please take care of Elaine, Mr. James. Thank you.”

“You are welcome, Ms. Radomil. Elaine is my niece. I should take care of her.”

Stella nodded and informed Elaine that she would wait for her outside. Then she strode out of the exhibition centre.

The bright sunshine was so dazzling outside. She could hardly open her eyes.

Stella stood at the spot for a while. She wanted to buy some water, but there was no convenience store or

supermarket nearby at all. She must drive out.

Stella checked the time, decided to wait for Elaine first.

When she had just found a place to sit, Caesar also came out. He walked to her.

A staff member of the exhibition centre was following him.

Caesar asked, “Hi, Ms. Radomil. Are you feeling better now?”

Stella answered, “Yes, I’m much better.”

Caesar said, “I asked the staff inside for a glass of water.”

As he spoke, the staff member walked up to Stella and put down the tray in front of her.

Stella hesitated for a moment before picking it up, “Thank you so much,” she said.

The staff member left. Stella took a sip of the water, “Where is Elaine?” she asked.

“Elaine is a grownup. Please don’t worry about her, Ms. Radomil.”
