Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

At the same time, Daphne’s report caused a huge uproar online.

Although Steve was not as popular as current superstars, he was not someone nameless. Even some of his

paintings were so famous that have gone out of the industry and were widely spread online.

Many painters even regard Steve as their teacher. They respected him and envy the love story between him and

his wife at the same time.

They could never imagine that he was such an inveracious person.

As the discussion increased, more and more people began to discuss about the incident.

In addition to the case of Steve itself, many people have begun to discuss domestic violence. Just like what Daphne

said in the news and what the defense lawyer said in the trial, women should choose to stand out when they

encounter such tragedy instead of compromising.

Domestic violence shouldn’t just be warned or fined simply. If this worked, Steve’s wife wouldn’t choose to suicide,

and there wouldn’t be thousands of news stories like this throughout the year.

When Steve was taken away by the police for re-investigation, he took a deep look at Donald, “Mr. Shawn, you

promised to help me.”

When Donald met his gaze, his expression was extremely cold, “Didn’t I help you win this lawsuit? The accusation of

intentional homicide is not convicted. It’s what you’ve done that lead you here, and there’s nothing I can do.”

Steve still wanted to say something, but he was taken away by force.

Donald turned around, happen to see Daphne running towards him.

He put one hand in his trouser pocket, “I read the report. Good job, my girl. What do you think we should eat later?”

Daphne stood up in front of him, gasping for breath, “I am sorry, I can’t eat with you. The leader of our newspaper

told me to go back. They are saying there will be a celebration party, and then the whole department would go

together.”

Donald was silent.

He tentatively said, “Can’t you decline it?”

Daphne shook her head, seemed also a little regretful, “I am sorry, but I can’t reject it.”

She was already prepared to invite Mr. Shawn to dinner when the case was done.

She didn’t expect that the leader would set up such celebration party.

Donald sighed silently but still didn’t embarrass her, “Okay. Where’s the party? I’ll take you there.”

Daphne waved her hand, “I won’t bother you. I’ll just take the subway...”

Before she could finish her word, Donald took her hand and said as he walked, “Your boyfriend is here, and how

could he let you take the subway?”

Hearing this, Daphne was stunned for two seconds, lowered her head, and a bright smile gradually shined on her

face.

In the past few days, they were all busy with their work, and they couldn’t even have meal together.

So, as for the fact that Mr. Shawn had become her boyfriend, she would still be amazed by this. She sometime even

felt that it’s not real, like a dream.

After getting in the car, Donald asked her for the address and turned on the navigation, “When will the party end at

night? I’ll pick you up.”

“It may be a little late... or you should go to bed first.”

Donald looked at her, “However late it will be, just call me when it’s over. By the way, such a lady staying alone

outside could be risky, don’t drink that much alcohols.”

Daphne held the seat belt in both hands and nodded slowly, “I won’t.”

After arriving at the party, Daphne said, “Mr. Shawn, then I’ll go in. Bye.”

Donald raised his eyebrows, “See you tonight.”

His voice was low and magnetic. These three words brought her an inexplicable and irresistible magical feeling.

Daphne blushed slightly, got out of the car, waved at him, turned around and ran into the restaurant.

As soon as she entered the private room, the sound of the gun salute exploded, and the colorful ribbons instantly

fell from the rooftop.

A group of colleagues said, “Congratulations Daphne!”

The leader of the newspaper came over with the trophy and patted Daphne on the shoulder encouragingly, “Good

job. Gaining two big news in one day. And both news was sensationally to the public. I am right about your

potential.”

Daphne took the trophy and smiled, “Thank you, boss, for your recognition. I am just doing my job.”

Colleagues all coaxed, “Come on, let’s toast to Daphne! We should thank her for bringing glory to our newspaper!”

Daphne didn’t want to drink that much, but she couldn’t hold back their enthusiasm… She could only drink the

alcohol cup by cup.

After dinner, someone suggested to go to the Karaoke.

Daphne was a little drunk. She waved her hand and said, “You guys continue and have fun… I have to go home...”

“Daphne, we can go party tonight because of your news. If you go home, the party has to end.”

“Yeah, come on. Let’s go together. What’s the point if wo go to Karaoke without you?”

As her brain became more and more dizzy, Daphne refused more firmly, “My boyfriend is still waiting for me at

home. Please enjoy yourselves. Bills on me.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

When did she have a boyfriend?

As they all know, Daphne is a workaholic. She was either interviewing or writing reports every day. How could she

have time to socialize and even get a boyfriend?

Just when they were thinking that Daphne was just finding a reason to prevaricate, there was a knock on the door

outside the room.

A man stood there, tall and slender, “Excuse me… Have you finished eating?”

When some female colleagues saw him, they couldn’t help staring into him, thinking that he was probably a guest

want to have the room. They quickly said, “We’ve done here. We will leave now...”

Just when someone was going to hold Daphne up, the man strode over, bent over, picked up Daphne who was a

little drunk, and nodded to them, “Since you guys are done eating, I’ll take my girlfriend first. Excuse me.”

The group of people were instantly dumbfounded. This was Daphne’s boyfriend? So handsome?

In their surprised expression, Donald held Daphne out without looking back.

Back at home, Donald put her on the sofa, went to prepare some honey water for her. Then he squatted in front of

her, and stroked her face lightly, “Daphne, drink this.”

Daphne seemed to come back to her consciousness a little. She looked at him with eyes half-opened, “Mr. Shawn...”

With a sense of guilty while she was saying, “I’m sorry. I promised you not to drink too much, but...”

“It’s okay.”

Donald has participated in such parties many times, and he certainly knew that the client will inevitably be drunk.

That’s why he would go in ahead of time to find her.

Daphne took the honey water from Donald and drank it with big gulps. Soon she had finished the whole bottle of

water.

Donald retracted the cup, set it aside, leaned over to hug her, prepared to take her back to her room for sleep.

Daphne’s eyes were open, looking at him up closely, feeling that her breath was getting much slower and hotter.

She suddenly uttered, “Mr. Shawn.”

Donald thought she was uncomfortable, stopped the movement of his hand, turned around to look at her, “Huh?”

Daphne asked, “Are you my boyfriend?”

“It’s not a dream.”

Daphne heard this answer with a smile on her face, wrapped her arms around his neck, raised her head and kissed

him on the lips.
