Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 614

On Sunday, dark clouds massed in the sky and the air felt very dry and stuffy as if heavy rain was promising.

Archer had been waiting for them at the door of the laboratory and after a long while, a black Maybach finally drove towards him.

When the car stopped, Stella landed her gaze on the laboratory not far away.

Then there came Clarence’s voice, “He will send us there.”

Stella pulled herself back to reality, groaned a simple answer and pushed open the door.

Archer waved at them when seeing them, seeming as if he was not forced.

Seeing that Stella had been fixing her eyes on the laboratory, he comforted her, “Rest assured. I arranged for everything before leaving.

Stella lightly nodded her head and didn’t reply.

She knew deep down that even though she was at the door of the laboratory, she still couldn’t get in.

On the way to the James’ Mansion, when driving the car, Archer studied Stella and Clarence from the rear-view mirror from time to time. It seemed like he wanted to say something.

Clarence said blandly, “Spill the beans.”

Archer coughed and looked at the front, “It’s not an important issue. It’s just that the James family has strict rules, so stay around me and don’t walk around after entering the house. Don’t talk when the worship begins. Otherwise, you will receive serious punishment if those fuddy-dudfies hear it.”

“For example.”

“Probably you will kneel in the ancestral hall for ten days or half a month. Except for this, you will have to eat green vegetables or bitter gourd for every meal, namely to let you learn this lesson.”

Tsk, that experience was so terrible.

Clarence replied, “I see.”

Archer turned around with surprise as he didn’t expect that Clarence would be so obedient now.

Noticing the confusion in his eyes, Clarence said calmly, “Based on that conclusion, it seems like you’ve experienced it numerous times. I don’t have to seek troubles for myself.”

Archer was rendered speechless.

If he had expected this, he would not tell him about that.

Archer broke the silence after a short while, “Moreover, no matter what you want to ask, wait until the worship ceremony is over. Darnell is not as wicked as you’ve imagined and you can talk to him personally if you have any questions. Don’t make a fuss in front of the James.”

Clarence shot a glance at him expressionlessly. Archer immediately shut up and concentrated his attention on driving.

To be honest, if it was not because Darnell had been evading meeting with Clarence, Clarence would not decide to go to the James Mansion to find him. It was his kid reminder as he was afraid that both of them would be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Stella had been looking at window on the way and didn’t pay attention to their conversation.

After a long while, she felt someone softly clasping her wrist.

Stella turned her head and looked at him in confusion.

Clarence said in a low voice, “I don’t know what will happen after we get into the mansion. Stay by my side and don’t step away from me.”

Stella pressed her lips together and then nodded her head.

Channing looked out of the window, “We arrive.”

They could vaguely see the outline of the James’ Mansion when looking out of the window.

The car drove through a gate with carved patterns on the door at each side. Several minutes later, a mansion of ancient style appeared in their visions.

There were two words on the plaque above the door – “James’ Mansion”.

Many cars were parked at the door.

It seemed like many people had arrived before Archer’s arrival.

The moment Archer got out of the car, there came a man’s voice, “Why do you come back so late?”

Archer turned around with a smile, “Uncle, there’s still time left. Moreover, you just arrived too.”

Apparently, the middle-aged man felt displeased when he heard the words. He put on airs, “It’s because I have to deal with some business. What about you?”
