Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

They arrived at nine o’clock. Seeing Clarence’s absence, Sherry asked, “Stella, where is Mr. Conrad?”

Stella answered, “He has something to do all of a sudden, so he went out.”

“What’s the matter?”

“I don’t know. He didn’t say.”

On the way back, Donald also got the message saying that Maxwell had done something, which had caused a

commotion.

Stella put the hot dishes on the table and said, “Let’s eat first.”

Winnie rubbed her stomach and said, “Yeah, I’m starving to death.”

In order to shoot commercials in the past few days, she only ate a little fruit and vegetables, and did not dare eat

more.

She was so hungry on the way back that she ate a cream cake.

That’s why she felt guilty.

Thankfully the commercial was finally done, and her body management didn’t have to be so strict.

After sitting down, Donald asked Stella, “Why didn’t your brother come?” It seemed like he could always rub it in, so

did he this time.

Stella went silent for a while and said, “He’s having classes so I didn’t call him.”

Donald said regretfully, “Your brother is very clever. I appreciate him very much. There are few people I appreciate,

among which he could be counted as the top one. Ah, does he have a girlfriend? I have a cousin studying abroad,

whose IQ is a little lower than me, but her grades are pretty good. She is young and energetic...”

Sherry coughed, picked up the juice in front of her and said, “Mr. Shawn has been working so hard during this

period. May I propose a toast to you?”

He was obviously very pleased to such flattering words and waved his hand saying it’s nothing.

That way, Sherry shifted his attention easily so that no one continue this topic.

Stella quietly looked at Winnie and found that her facial expression was just the same; she seemed to be

concentrating on calculating the calories of the food in front of her.

After dinner, it was late, and they left one after another.

Sherry volunteered to help Stella wash dishes, while Stella pushed her out of the kitchen and said, “You are tired

today. Just go home and have a good rest.”

Sherry stretched her sore arm. Seeing that Stella was determined, she didn’t insist any more, took her own things

and said, “Well, I’m leaving. Go to bed early when you are done, good night.”

Stella said back with a smile, “Good night.”

After Sherry left, Stella washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and mopped the floor all over the house, but

Clarence had not returned yet.

She sat on the sofa, looked at the phone in front of her, slowly leaned against the back of the sofa, and let out a

sigh of relief.

She had promised Clarence before he left.

So, she was not going to ask what had been going on out there.

…

When Sherry returned to the next door, she immediately went to take a shower. As soon as she came out and was

about to lie down on the sofa and watch TV for a while, her phone started ringing.

This was the fifth time her mother has called her today.

She had been busy working before, so she ignored it.

But if she didn’t pick it up this time, it seemed like that her mother would rush to City N to interrogate her.

Sherry picked up her phone, swiped to answer the call, turned on the loudspeaker in case her mother would shout

in her ear, and threw the phone aside.

At the other end of the phone, her mother asked in an unexpectedly calm voice, “Why didn't you answer the

phone?”

“Mom, I had been working today and didn’t check my phone.”

After a short while, Sherry asked, “Why did you call me?”

Her mother asked, “Are you still with Brandon Chang?”

“What?”

Hearing this question, Sherry didn’t know how to reply for a moment.

She didn’t know what she really meant.

Her mother said, “If you really didn’t like him, just broke up. I went to nose about him in the past two days and

found that he is not a good man in relations. His family introduced him many girls, but none of them work out. Do

you know why?"

Sherry followed her words, "Wh…why?"

At this point, her mother was a little indignant and explained, “He has an ex-girlfriend, who is not so decent either...

In short, Brandon was dead set on her. No matter what his parents said, he insisted to be together with her. It was

only when his mother was hospitalized for half a month because of her, he finally made compromises. But while he

was dating other girls, he was still attached to that woman. A man like that will surely be a scourge to you.”

Sherry felt relieved, “So that’s why you’re calling me. I thought...”

“Thought what? You haven’t answered your phone for such a whole day, not to mention you are outside alone. Your

father and I are worried about you. If you didn’t answer this time, I would have to call the police.”

Sherry took a pillow, held it in her arms with a warm smile, and said, “Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ve told you that I

live with my friend, and she takes really good care of me.”

Her mother added, “Didn’t you say she was married? Are you still clinging to her?”

Sherry went silent again.

“Well,” she said, “You wouldn’t understand their situation. In fact, I was going to tell you that I have broken up with

Brandon just today.”

Her mother frowned, “Did he bring it up or did you?”

“It was me of course. What right he has to broke up with me? That woman was making a scene right to my face…”

She spoke so quickly that she almost slipped her tongue.

But even so, her mother sensed something, “Ok, I know, it’s a good thing. But this matter will not be over so easily.

I’ll get even with them, just wait and see. They’ve gone too far by introducing us this wretched man.”

“Mom.” Sherry called her, and added with a smile, “Thank you.”

Her mother got goosebumps and hurriedly said, “Don’t thank me. It's not over for you. Brandon Chang is one thing,

but you still have to find a boyfriend. Look at Stella, she is married and has got a kid."

Hearing her cliche again, Sherry quickly interrupted, “Hey, mom... I have a bad connection here, I’ll talk to you

another day, bye.”

Then she hung up the phone immediately.

Sherry then opened Facebook and saw that Brandon had been sending her messages and trying to apologize.

She directly blocked and deleted all his contacts. Out of sight, out of mind.

This thing can finally be over.

Sherry put down her phone, closed her eyes and lay on the sofa. Because the air conditioner was running, she felt a

bit cold and pulled a small blanket on.

Suddenly, the vague memory of the night before became clear.

Sherry slowly opened her eyes again and stared at the ceiling blankly.
