Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 45

Soon, the two of them went into a luxury store. The woman was choosing clothes and bags on one side, while the man was holding his cellphone on the other side to reply to others’ messages.

Stella hid outside the store, and she could see the man’s face clearly from the angle.

She gritted her teeth. It was Liam.

In the luxury store…

Jolie took a bag and walked to Liam, “Honey, I like this bag so much. Will you buy it for me?”

The salesman who was at the side said, “Lady, you have good taste. This bag is the latest model in this season. There are only two in the whole City N, and both are in our store.

Hearing his words, Jolie liked the bag even more. She hugged Liam’s arm and pouted, “Then I want this one, okay?”

Liam intimately pinched her nose, “Okay, okay. I will buy it for you.”

After finishing his words, he took out his card and told the salesman, “You all have two of the bags right, I want to buy the other one too.”

The salesman smiled and took his card, “Okay, please wait for a moment.”

But Jolie who was smiling just now instantly became unhappy and let go of Liam’s arm, “Are you going to buy the bag for that woman again? Every time you will give what you buy for me to that woman too. If you like her so much, why don’t you just stop being together with me?”

Liam wrapped his arm around her shoulder, “Okay, baby. Don’t be angry. I have been spending time with you when I come back for this month, so I must give her some compensation too. If you like any other models of the bag in the store then you just choose, I will only buy for you this time.”

Jolie poked her finger on his chest and pouted, “That’s more like it.”

The two of them came out of the luxury store and then left the shopping mall.

Liam put the beautifully wrapped box in the car and went to the hotel next to the mall with his arm around Jolie's shoulder.

Stella tracked them quietly all the way.

She found that the shameless couple was so immersed in the joy of cheating that they didn’t notice her tracking them.

When they reached the hotel, she followed them entering the lift and stood in the corner when there were a large number of people taking the lift.

When they got off the lift, she also followed them, walking slowly behind them.

She didn’t know that if Liam realized what was going on. He turned around. At that moment, Stella quickly hid behind the door frame at her side.

But she didn’t expect that the door was not closed tightly. It was opened straight away when she hit it so hard.

Stella thought that she would fall badly or hit the wall hard.

Instead, she fell into a warm embrace.

Stella looked up and met a man’s dark and deep eyes.

This was fucking evil.

Clarence was holding his phone in one hand. His gaze looked unperturbed as he looked at her.

Stella looked through his nonchalant eyes as if she had already guessed what he was thinking.

She was sure that the shameless man would be thinking, “See, see. I’ve only ignored you for a month, and you’re so eager to throw yourself at me.”

Before she thought what she wanted to say, she saw Clarence’s thin lips moving slightly, as if he was about to say what he was thinking about. The first thing that came to Stella’s mind was that Liam was still out there, and if he found out that she was trying to track him, then she wouldn’t be able to get any evidence of his cheating.

Before Clarence could say anything, she quickly stood on tiptoe and covered his mouth.

She also closed the door behind her.

The entire room fell into an eerie silence, and only the static sound could be heard from Clarence’s phone, “… Mr. Conrad? Are you still listening, Mr. Conrad?”

Clarence lowered his eyes and looked at it, and Stella immediately reacted. She was nervous until her hand placed at him was hot like it was about to burn up, and she hastily withdrew her hand from him.

He told the person who was having a call with him, “Yes.”

“About the development of the resort hotel in Singapore…”

“Send the complete project proposal to my office within two days.”

After finishing his words, Clarence hung up his phone straight away.

For a moment, the room became quiet once again.

He didn’t open his mouth, neither did Stella.

This was the first time they had met after the heated argument at the hotel ended unhappily a month ago.

In the end, Stella couldn’t withstand the unsettling atmosphere and laughed humorlessly, “Mr. Conrad, what a coincidence…”

“It’s indeed quite a coincidence that you met me by chance in my hotel.”

His words were very sarcastic.

Stella was speechless.

Did all the shameless men in this world have the same traits? Clarence who was a shameless man opened the hotel, while Liam brought his mistress to rent a room in this hotel.

Stella explained again, “Mr. Conrad, I didn’t know this was your hotel. I followed someone else here.”

“Okay,” Clarence said.

What do you mean ‘Okay’? Let me know whether you believe me or not!

Stella took a deep breath and said calmly, “I don’t care what do you want to think. I’m not here to find you anyway.”

Clarence narrowed his black eyes, “Then tell me who do you want to find in my hotel.”

Stella opened her mouth and suddenly realized something. She initially wanted to say, “Why should I tell you? I have my right to look for anyone. It’s none of your business.”

But she quickly knew how rude her words were, as she owed the man in front of him a lot of money. It was better for her to give him some respect, in case she encountered an unexpected situation afterwards and could not pay him money on time, then she might still be able to negotiate it with him.

She thought that she had to give him some respect or else she would be the loser in the end.

Only a fool would dare to go against capitalism.

Stella smiled softly, “I’m here to meet a friend. How about Mr. Conrad?”

“None of your business.”

Stella was speechless.

It didn’t matter. She was just acting like she was curious.

Clarence kept his phone and was a little impatient, “How much longer do you plan to spend with me here?”

He had come to the hotel for a regular meeting, but he had received a call about his work on the spur of the moment. When he casually pushed open a room, she didn’t expect her to bump into him by coincidence.

Clarence definitely did not believe in such coincidences.

It seemed that she changed after he ignored her for a month.

Stella then only remembered that the purpose she came there wasn’t to argue with him. Liam should have already entered the room.

She took two steps back, “Excuse me, I will leave first.”

At the same time, Liam felt a bit uneasy that day and didn’t know if it was because he felt guilty after doing something wrong. Although he didn’t see anyone after turning around just now, his sanity made him feel that he shouldn’t stay there anymore.

But when he said he wanted to leave, Jolie still hugged him relentlessly, “If we were caught red-handed, why don’t you just tell the woman the truth, then you can officially be together with me?

Liam only laughed and did not answer what she asked, obviously he wanted to hook up with this woman while being together with his girlfriend.

He pulled down Jolie’s hand, “Alright, honey. I will accompany you again tomorrow. I really have to go back today.”

As he walked to the door, Jolie hugged his waist again, “Kiss me before you go.”

Liam wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.

When Stella opened the door of the hotel room, she saw the scene. She quickly moved backwards again. In a hurry, she pushed away Clarence who was at her back, and quickly took out her phone to take a photo of what Liam and Jolie were doing as evidence of their cheating.
