Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 91

Stella gritted her teeth tightly, wondering if he meant that she was not even a human in his opinion.

Before she retorted, Clarence said flatly, “Change your outfit. Have a walk with me.”

“Didn’t you walk around yesterday?”

“You had meals yesterday. Why would you have meals again today?”

Stella couldn’t find her tongue.

What a jerk!

She hurriedly turned around and smashed her door close. Then she locked it from the inside.

Clarence cast a glance at the lock, raising his head. As if he had thought about something, his Adam’s apple bobbed.

He withdrew his gaze and cleared his throat, “I’ll wait for you downstairs. Hurry up.”

Stella’s unhappy voice was heard from the room, “Got it.”

Could he just stop urging her?

If he was in a hurry, why didn’t he just go himself?

Stella still put on another vintage dress from Dolores, the style of which wasn’t favored by Clarence.

In order to make the wretched man wait longer, she slowly put on makeup.

When Stella walked downstairs, Clarence was standing in the yard with his back towards her. With one hand on the pocket of his suit trousers, he stood upright, talking on the phone in English.

His voice was deep and magnetic with traces of chill, quite pleasant to hear.

Sure enough, the wretched man would always look handsome whenever he was hard working.

Two minutes later, Clarence finished the call. He turned around and looked at Stella, who looked away immediately, “Mr. Conrad, sorry for keeping you wait. I...” she said.

Stella thought that Clarence would mock at her again, but he only put the phone into his pocket and said indifferently, “Let’s go.”

All the neighbors joined Evelyn’s tourist team. Usually, they would be sitting outside their houses or along the rivers. Currently, they were all gone, so the whole street was extremely quiet.

The sunshine covered this ancient long street in peace.

Stella was walking by Clarence’s side, keeping a distance from him. From time to time, she kicked a stone on the ground.

At the end of the street, there was a wide river.

Stella used to watch the sunset here every day.

Usually, a lot of neighbors of Anqiao Street would play chess or walk around with the caged birds around here. Now since they were gone, it was quiet along the river with only a few passersby and running children for fun.

Standing beside the river, Clarence stared at the scenery in distance, lost in thought.

Stella was standing behind him, yawning.

She was almost killed by the sleepiness.

How could he be so energetic?

When Stella was dizzy, she heard Clarence’s voice, “Come over.”

She looked in the direction of his voice, only to find that Clarence had walked down the steps. He was standing next to a boat upright.

She tried to cheer up, walking down the steps.

However, when she reached the late level, she looked at the boat that was distanced from the last step, hesitating.

When she wondered how she could get in, a knuckled hand was reached in front of her.

Stella was taken aback, looking up at him subconsciously.

Clarence seemed to be out of patience, “Why are you standing there motionlessly? Come get in.”

Stella hesitated and then put her hand in his palm.

When she got in, the boat slightly swayed. She lost her balance and fell into his arms.

Clarence wrapped his hands around her waist. After a few seconds, he said, “Done hugging me?”

Stella reacted immediately. She hurriedly took a few steps back. However, the boat was in the water, and it swayed quite easily. She couldn’t help fall on her back.

While Stella thought that she might fall into the water, Clarence grabbed her waist and pulled her back.

He said, “Why are you acting so fiercely? Move slowly.”

Inwardly, Stella couldn’t help blaming him.
