Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Meanwhile in City N.

Sherry received a call from Stella soon as she arrived at the studio. "Stella, is everything alright over there? Did you

see the baby?" She asked.

"Everything is fine, I'll video call you in a moment. He can walk now," Stella replied.

"He'll be calling my name soon then. Tell him my name! He'll know his auntie." Sherry said excitedly.

Stella laughed, "Sure." She continued after pausing for a few seconds, "How's thing going with you and Brandon?"

Sherry threw herself onto the sofa after she entered Stella's office and let out a long sigh, "I'm seeing him now,

aside from other things, he's an ideal life partner. He's mature, reliable, kind to his parents, has a stable job and

vision of his own. He's not a mama boy and pretty easy going with things, no wonder my mom likes him so much."

She continued, "I might fall for him after seeing and getting to know him further. Relationship needs time anyway."

Stella pursed her lips. Sherry had a point, as she and Daniel were not destined to be a couple, it was wiser to cut

the chords now and start over with someone else.

After a moment, Stella spoke, "Sherry, there is something I need to tell you."

"Spill the bean."

Stella held the mobile and said slowly, "I'm planning to give up the fashion week."

Sherry was stunned, "Why? This is a once in a blue moon opportunity for you."

Stella then told her everything that Archer said to her.

She apologized softly, "I'm sorry, I don't have a choice, the fashion week is about three months away, I can't wait

that long to start caring and conditioning my body, the sooner I resolve this, the less would the little one suffer."

Sherry replied, "Why are you apologizing, you silly? I understand you completely. I'm fine with it, just feeling a little

sad knowing how much effort you've put into your work and finally there is a chance to shine… But it's alright, there

is always a chance for those who are well prepared. We could still go higher after you've regained your health and

the little one recovered. The future is full of possibilities."

"Thank you," Stella said in a quiet voice.

Sherry and her established the studio from scratch. Though she was the designer, she couldn't have had the

chance to focus solely on designing if Sherry wasn't there to help handle all the other stuff.

The fashion week was not only a chance for herself, but also a chance to put their brand and name to fame.

Not only her but everyone else had contributed a lot to this. But they were forced to give up because of her.

Sherry added, "Hey, we're friends. If it wasn't for you, I'm still only an employee at SG Jewelry, working my fingers

to the bone. Unlike now, I'm a boss of my own, free and happy. Our studio is quite busy lately, giving up the fashion

week will lighten our workload. But have you told the organizer about this?"

Stella nodded, "I called Louis earlier, he asked me to reconsider and get back to him two days later, but I've

decided."

"Cool, since you've decided not to take part, we should rearrange our work schedules. We shall discuss when you

get back here."

"Okay, Sherry…"

Sherry interrupted her, "Stop saying thank you or apologizing."

Stella smiled, "Got it."

After they hung up, Sherry put down the phone and was ready for work. But someone else called.

She looked at the incoming call, hesitated and answer, "Hi Emmett, anything I can help you with?"

"Are you available now for a chat?" Emmett on the other side asked.

In the afternoon, the two met at the restaurant opposite the studio.

Sherry took the menu and gave it to Emmett, "It was always you who pay the bills, so let me treat you today.

Though it's just a simple meal, please don't mind."

"Of course I won't," said Emmett.

He swept a glance at the menu roughly, ordered two dishes, "This will do," he said as he returned the menu to the

waiter.

He turned to Sherry after the waiter left. "Sherry, I want to talk to you about Daniel…"

Sherry smiled and interrupted, "Emmett, I'm glad to chat about anything with you for old time's sake, but I'm not

interested in talking about someone else or anything related to that."

Emmett paused for a while before he continued, "I wish there isn't any misunderstanding between both of you."

"I know what are you trying to say. Stella told me." Sherry took a sip of water, "I have to admit that I was saddened

by what I saw that night and couldn't stop blaming him repeatedly in my heart, but I've let go of it now. You know

well that we were not brought together by love. This relationship was nothing but just my wishful thinking, whilst he

happened to have a tiny bit of feelings for me."

"It's not entirely like this…"

"We are adults and I never intended for him to be responsible on anything." She shrugged and continued, "Perhaps

this is destiny, destiny had it all prearranged. It is only a short relationship, I was nothing but one of his many

girlfriends, no … not even girlfriend. Anyway, I had a relationship with Liam and broke up, but life goes on."

Emmett held the glass in his hand in silence.

After quite a while, he said, "I just hope that both of you will not be separated due to some misunderstanding, since

you like each other."

"I used to share the same thought. But Emmett, will you be able to accept if your girlfriend wants to be with you but

never get married? Even if you do, what about your parents? I lost my mind because of my feelings for him, but I

realize now that the reality is different than what I think." Sherry explained.

"I'm not from a wealthy family but my parents still value traditions. I won't disagree or question Daniel's point of

view but I can't walk the path with him. This is what I think now."

Emmett remained silent for quite some time before he managed a smile, "Alright, I understand your thought now.

Sorry for interrupting today."

Sherry said, "I know you are concerned about me, so no need to apologize. This meal is still on me today. In

addition, I'll send you an invitation to my wedding. Don't forget to prepare a huge wedding gift."

"Sure, I'll definitely be there," Emmett smiled.

At this moment, their dishes were served.

"I need to go to the washroom," Sherry excused herself.

She closed her eyes slowly after a few steps and the smile on her face faded away.

Sometimes, we can convince everyone else with lies, but we can't make ourself believe it.
