Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

After a few words, there was no more talk between them.

Winnie simply lowered her head and focused on eating.

After a while, Channing said, “After you terminate your contract with Conrad Group, do you have any plans?”

Hearing this, she exhaled heavily and leaned back on the sofa. “I haven't really thought about it. Since I don’t have

much of a vacation these years, I will take a break after finishing my remaining job. As for the other things, I will

leave it to the future.”

“By the way, are you going to start school?” she added.

He nodded, “Next week.”

She thought about it and said, “You’d better talk to JH Film and ask them to arrange an assistant for you. A lot of

your personal information has been exposed online. They know where you study and it’s possible that some crazy

fans might disturb your private life.”

“Okay,” he replied.

They chatted causally and the atmosphere was getting cozy.

Gradually the food on the table was almost eaten up.

She took advantage of his inattention to look at him for a while.

She had vaguely heard about Stella’s family situation and knew that she and Channing had suffered a lot as

children. Maybe due to this reason, she had never seen him waste anything...

Although he did not talk much, his had a strong sense of presence.

He always looked well-groomed.

She suddenly felt curious about his previous life.

When she was in a daze, he noticed her line of sight and met her gaze. “What’s wrong?”

She immediately looked away and said, “Well, nothing. I just feel a bit too full. What about you?”

“I'm fine.”

She went to cleaned up the garbage on the table. “I will go throw these packages away.”

He took the garbage in her hand and said, “I will do it. It’s late, don’t go down.”

“No. I am too full and have to go down for a walk. Otherwise, I cannot fall asleep.”

He was silent for a few seconds and then said, “You'd better get changed.”

She was at a loss for words.

Then she looked down and realized that she was still wearing her pajamas.

She hurried back to her bedroom.

When she finished changing her clothes and came out, it was already ten minutes later.

She had brushed her hair, washed her face, and put on lipstick.

Walking over slowly, she took the garbage in his hand, and spoke calmly, “Let’s go.”

He took his things and followed her with a slight smile.

After getting downstairs and throwing away the trash, they went around the neighborhood for about half an hour.

She asked, “When you start school, will you live in the school or continue to live in the rented house?”

“I will live in the rented house,” he replied.

She believed his words. With such a character, he would prefer some quiet place to the noisy student dormitory.

They went around for a while and when she noticed that it was getting late, she began to walk back.

He sent her to the door of her house, “Go inside.”

She turned to look at him, “There should be no subway at this time, so be careful when you go back.”

“Okay.”

She waved at him, “I will see you next time.”

“Good night,” he said.

She paused before saying, “Good night.”

After she closed the door, he withdrew his eyes and stood in place for a few minutes. Then he walked to the escape

corridor and looked around to confirm that there was no trace of Chassell being here. Then, he left by the stairs.

When he got downstairs, he found a place to sit down, took out his phone and started to read an essay.

At 2:00 a.m., when the security patrolled by, he noticed someone sitting there and came over. Finally, he asked with

uncertainty, “Channing? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”

Channing raised his head and licked his lips silently. “Nothing.”

The security guard understood that he wasn't in the mood to talk, so he did not ask more questions. Instead, he

simply said, “Why don’t you sit in the security room? It’s quite cold out here. They just bought some food, so you

can go and eat some.”

Channing said, “Thank you. I am not hungry. Please don't worry. I will leave soon.”

The security did not intend to stay since he had not finished patrolling. “Okay. If you need anything, just go to the

security room and ask them for help.”

Channing nodded. “Okay.”

After the security guard left, Channing felt a bit tired of sitting, so he put away his phone and paced back and forth

downstairs.

And he spent the whole night like that.

When the dawn came, and more people appeared in the community, he then left.

...

Winnie woke up, feeling sinful eating so much yesterday, and decided to go for a morning run.

When she came back from two laps around the artificial lake next to the community, she was called by a security

guard. “Miss Truman.”

She turned back and asked, “What’s wrong?”

He came over mysteriously and said in a low voice, “Did you and your boyfriend have a fight last night?”

She felt surprised. “What?”

He said, “He stood downstairs all-night last night. I asked him to come to the security room to sit for a while but he

refused.”

She got stunned. “My boyfriend stood all night... You mean Channing?”

“Yes. It’s Chan. He didn't leave until dawn. You two didn’t have a fight, huh?” he asked.

“No... Well, no fight.” She was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Thank you.”

“You are welcome.”

On her way back, she walked carelessly, wondering why Channing would stay downstairs all night.

When she reached the door and looked to the escape corridor beside, she suddenly remembered the time when

Chassell came to her.

When Channing came last night, he told her that Chassell had run away.

She did a double take before realizing that, could it be that he stayed here all night because of Chassell’s escape?

When she got home, she lay down in the sofa, looking at the ceiling and thinking about something.

After a while, her phone rang and a friend asked her to go out shopping in the afternoon.

She happened to have nothing to do and wanted to find something to occupy herself from her flying imagination,

so she agreed.

While shopping, her friend said, “Are you still unhappy about the terminating the contract?”

She retracted her thoughts and barely managed to gather some energy. “No.”

“Then what’s wrong?” her friend asked.

She made an excuse, “I was watching a drama last night and stayed up late. I did not sleep well.”

Her friend said, “You watch dramas, huh? What are you watching? Do you have a recommendation?”

“Well, I watched whatever was on TV,” she replied.

“Ah, I've been watching a romantic drama these days, a good one for killing the time. You can watch it too.” Her

friend added, “It’s about a young boy who loves a girl older than him. It's so sweet and I felt my heart was melting.”

She did not know what to say and suddenly felt disinterested.

At this time, a boy and a girl were shopping around them.

The boy directly called the girl’s name before saying something to her.

The girl got angry and said, “How many times do I have to tell you that I am two years older than you? You should

call me sister. Don’t be so impolite.”

He did not say anything but stuck out his tongue at her before running away.

Winnie’s friend could not help but whispering to her ears, “Did you see that? He did not call her sister because he

has a purpose towards her.”
