Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

In the rented room, Winnie didn’t even want to wash her face. With all her stuff in hand, she intended to take on her

shoes and leave right now.

Leaning against the shoe cabinet, Channing said, “Stella wants to invite you to the dinner tonight.”

Her cheeks flushed, Winnie said, “I won’t go. You tell her I won’t be available tonight for I have to fly to another city

to attend an activity this afternoon.”

She felt she was in bad luck. She had been befuddled for the whole night. To make it worse, she even picked up

Channing’s phone to answer a call from Stella. She failed to realize it wasn’t her phone!

As a result, now she was ashamed to meet Stella.

How could she explain the situation to her?

She came to persuade him to accept William. But what she actually did was give Channing a jerk-off.

Alas, extremely embarrassing indeed.

Noticing that she had put on her shoes, Channing said, “I will see you off.”

Winnie declined, “You don’t have to. You’ve just begun to get better.”

Halting for a second, she still gave him the advice anyway, “After having lunch you should take the medicine again.

And in Stella’s place you should have something bland.”

She had paid great efforts in hope of his early recovery. She was unwilling to make his illness get more serious.

Channing fixed his eyes on her calmly without a word.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Winnie murmured, “What... What happened?”

Channing said slowly, “Then are you available tonight?”

Winnie was silent.

“You don’t have any class tomorrow?”

“No class in the morning.”

Now it was Winnie’s turn to remain speechless.

If it was someone else, she would definitely decline his invitation.

However, for it was Channing, it was beyond her capability to do the same.

Most importantly, she was also eager to be with him.

Maybe the interactions last night had made it clearer how intimate the relationship between them was.

His words inspired in mind a desire to always stay with him.

She had never had such a feeling before.

It wasn’t until a few seconds later did Winnie mumbled, “Then if you still have some time after dinner, we can meet

at my home. Don’t forget to take your medicine.”

Hearing her answer, a smile gradually climbed on Channing’s face, “I won’t.”

Winnie coughed to make herself look more serious, “Then I’m leaving now.”

The moment she turned back; a hand was placed on her waist.

Channing pressed her on the door gently with a hand holding her head and then he lowered his head to kiss her.

After a while, he stood back a bit, but his face was still close to her forehead. His breath heavy and his voice hoarse,

he whispered, “See you then.”

Being silent for a while, Winnie ran away through the door.

The last two minutes had already made her regret accepting his invitation.

The words “see you then” indicated a hint of suppressed desire and love in Channing’s mind, which was quite

enchanting.

The coming night was tinted with a sense of veiled beauty and charm.

...

4.00 p.m.

Stella and Clarence was on their way home after they had finished their shopping in supermarket. And they saw

Daniel standing in front of the door of their house. He seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

Daniel greeted them with a smile, “Hello, Ms. Radomil and Mr. Conrad.”

“So, Sherry isn’t home?” asked Stella.

Daniel was quite honest with this question, “She is at home. She just kicked me out.”

No sooner did he finished than Clarence gave out a short chortle.

But the sound was quite distinct in the empty, quite corridor.

Stella felt a bit embarrassed.

She gave a warning glare to the curious bystander the before she coughed and said to Daniel, “Maybe you should

go back home today.

Daniel nodded and stared at the shopping bag on Clarence’s hand, “You’ve bought a lot of food. Is Ms. Radomil

going to cook tonight?”

Winnie was silent.

She somewhat realized what he might be implying.

Without an answer, Daniel continued, “May I have the honor to have dinner together with you?”

“No, you may not,” declined Clarence.

Daniel knew how Clarence would reply. So, with no change on his face, he still smiled politely, “It doesn’t matter. I

will still stand here waiting then.”

He looked pretty pity despite the seemingly relaxed smile on his face.

Before Stella could say anything to comfort him, she was taken back home by Clarence with her hand held in his.

With the door closed behind them, Clarence said to her, “Just leave him alone.”

“But…”

“Don’t you see that he was seeking your sympathy under the disguise of a poor guy?”

Stella shrugged, saying while putting on the slippers, “Why would he do that? He’s a good man. If he was really

seeking my sympathy on purpose, he was still better than the sophisticated men who are adept at dealing with

girls. Mind you, those men may even be reluctant to admit using tricks against girls.”

Clarence was stunned.

He put the shopping bag on the table before he nodded, “Indeed. You mean Emmett Carter, right?”

Stella didn’t respond to his joke. She took the food they bought and headed to the kitchen.

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

Stella said from the kitchen, “Clarence, open the door please.”

With his long legs crossed, Clarence was still checking the files before him on the sofa, “If it was one of our guests

tonight, he or she will know the code of our door.”

That was right indeed.

Sherry and Channing both knew the code of the lock.

Then the doorbell rang again.

This time before Stella could say anything to him, Clarence stood up to open the door.

It was Channing.

Clarence opened the door for him, and strode towards the sofa, saying, “I thought you know the code.”

Channing had a glimpse outside, asked without answering his question, “What is he standing outside for?”

Sitting on the sofa again, Clarence said, “You can give him a chair.”

Channing turned back and said calmly, “If you are kicked out of this house again, I will put extra locks on the door.”

Clarence halted for a second before he frowned and glared at Clarence, “You are such a polite boy, aren’t you?”

Clarence replied, “I’m just saying something that is likely to happen. You’ve been kicked out for many times, right?

The guy standing outside just reminds me of you.”

With a faint sneer of anger, Clarence stared at him coldly.

He said slowly, “Seemingly you are on your ‘supposed’ brother’s side. Then let him in.”

Hearing that, Channing’s face turned cold.

Daniel was the adopted son of William and he was older than Stella and Channing. Therefore, Daniel was technically

their elder brother.

So, Clarence must have said the word “supposed” on purpose.

In the kitchen, Stella was cutting vegetables. Now she had got a bit tired of the quarrel in the living room.

She couldn’t help doubting whether it was right to let Clarence to have a talk with Channing.

He shouldn’t have been so straightforward!

Now they were both getting a little angry. The what’s next?

In the living room, Clarence continued, “Then why don’t you open the door now?”

Channing had a glimpse at him jokingly, “You and Stella haven’t had a wedding, right?”

“So?”

“Then I won’t let you in by then.”

Clarence couldn’t say anything.

There was no doubt that Channing could do what he said. He might even replace the door with a bullet-proof one.
