Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 101

Many people were waiting for a pregnancy examination in the hospital. Moreover, most of them had a bulging belly.

Comparing to them, Stella appeared to be more relaxed.

She used to come here for a pregnancy examination alone and it was the first time that someone accompanied her here. Moreover, there were many people waiting here and it sounded boisterous. Some of the pregnant women were quarreling with their husbands. Except for the pregnancy examination, Stella had to divert her attention to take care of Clarence, who seemed to be incompatible with this place and didn’t know where he should stay.

A thought popped into Stella’s mind: What’s the use of a man? He can’t help her in any matter and will only bring troubles to her. She would rather do this alone.

No wonder that those pregnant women, whose child was older than the one in her belly, got tired of their husbands.

Clarence noticed her lines of sights and looked askance at her. He said unhappily, “Why are you looking at me?”

Stella smiled at him, “The hospital is packed with people. Mr. Conrad, if you feel it noisy, you can wait for me outside.”

“When did I feel it noisy?”

Stella licked her lips. Come on, Mr. Conrad, your expression had expressed everything.

She shouldn’t have said those words in the morning. Otherwise, would it be so tiring and troublesome if she came here alone?

Stella said, “Then I will go in. Mr. Conrad, if you’re impatient to wait for me, you can leave as you like.”

Clarence didn’t reply and just looked at her coldly.

After Stella entered the room, Clarence withdrew his lines of sights and leaned against the wall. He inadvertently looked towards a pregnant woman who was sitting on a chair not far away.

Her belly was so big and it looked like she was about to deliver.

Her husband was squatting beside the chair. He stroked her belly and put his ear on it. He then exclaimed in surprise, “Honey, it kicked me.”

The woman reply, “He had been sleeping when I was having the examination and didn’t move a bit.”

“Looks like it only wants to interact with me.” The man then said to her belly, “My baby, did you hear daddy’s voice? You want to see daddy, right? Be obedient and wait for several more days, then you’ll be able to come to this world.”

The woman nudged her husband with a smile, “Why are you saying this to it? It doesn’t know it.”

“I heard from some people that when a baby is in the mother’s belly, it can actually perceive the sentiments of the adult. We should talk to it more and let it know that someone in this world is expecting its arrival. When it’s time to delivery, maybe it would come to this world quicker and you’ll suffer less.”

After a short while, the young couple left the hospital.

When Stella went out, she found Clarence looking at two empty chairs with a weird expression, seeming to be lost in his thought.

She waved her hand in front of him, “Mr. Conrad?”

Clarence withdrew his lines of sights and glanced at her calmly, “Finished?”

“Yeah, let’s come back.”

As Stella woke up early this morning, she felt sleepy on the way home. As the car was so silent, she fell into asleep with her head leaning against the window after a short while.

When she woke up, she found the car was parked beside a shopping mall.

Clarence unfastened the seat belt, “Get off the car since you’ve woken up.”

Stella rubbed her eyes in confusion and directly got off the car. After taking several steps following Clarence, she finally realized what was going on and asked, “Mr. Conrad, what do you want to buy?”

Stella realized that her question was superfluous after blurting it out. Clarence was a businessman, so maybe he was here to inspect the shopping mall.

Since Clarence had accompanied her to the hospital just now even though he didn’t help at all, Stella thought that she should return his kindness and decided to accompany him to walk around in the shopping mall.

Stella then followed him while yawning.

When Clarence stopped, she found that they were in the area for children’s products.

She was stunned for a second and then a sentence conjured up to her mind: It’s easiest to earn money from women and children. It seemed like Clarence was not an exception.

Clarence suddenly turned around and said arrogantly, “Go select by yourself.”

Stella was completely dumbfounded. What should she select?

She glanced around and couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Conrad, can you give me some tips?”

Clarence became impatient, “Are there anything else in this are?”

Stella was rendered speechless.

She became sober and glanced around again and found that this area was mainly selling products for infants. She roughly understood what he meant. Stella paused before speaking, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Conrad. But I don’t need these. I’ve prepared these things before.”

But it seemed like Clarence didn’t want to talk nonsense with her. He directly walked into a store and took everything he saw.

Stella was rendered speechless.

Was this man crazy?

Stella, who was following behind him, took the things he picked out from the shopping cart and put them back to the shelves, “Mr. Conrad, you…”

Clarence turned around and put the things into the shopping cart again.

Stella was completely speechless. She could only resort to other methods, “Mr. Conrad, the toys you pick are for kids over three years old.”

A shopping assistant hurried over and said, “Mr. and Mrs., may I ask you how old your baby is? I can recommend some goods suitable for your kid.”

“No…”

Clarence interrupted her, “It’s in her belly.”

Stella was still confused about what was wrong with this wretched man even after walking out of the shopping mall. He almost emptied all baby products of several stores!

Those shopping assistants had never seen such a rich and generous client and they all said they could deliver the goods to their house.

Looking at Stella who seemed to want to say something, Clarence asked, “You also want to buy something?”

Stella hurriedly refused him, “No… No… Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Conrad. I don’t want to buy anything. Not at all.”

Clarence sneered and then got on the car.

Stella finally heaved a sigh of relief.

This nightmare-like experience finally came to an end.

When they came back, Stella felt she not sleepy at all because she was startled just now. Sitting on the passenger seat, she stole several glances at the man sitting beside him. She tried to suppress her impulse, but failed. In the end, she asked, “Mr. Conrad, why did you buy those things?”

Clarence replied without looking at her, “It’s funny.”

“…”

This was really his way of doing things.

Stella didn’t want to probe into this anymore.

Out of her expectation, Clarence suddenly asked her a question several minutes later, “When will you deliver the baby?”

Stella hadn’t expected that he would ask this and was stunned. She then replied, “It’s expected to be born twenty-one weeks later, roughly five months later.”

Clarence replied with a nasal sound and didn’t speak again.

Stella winded down the window to look at the scenes flashing by.

Clarence asked that question. So probably he was also expecting the birth of the child, right?

When thinking of this, Stella curled her lips into a smile and suddenly felt that her mood was greatly improved.

Clarence took a side long glance and saw her leaning her head against the car window from the mirror. He curled his lips into an inexplicable smile and his black eyes became gentler unknowingly.

People in the world might have different feelings, but their good moods would affect others.
