Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 132

As soon as Clarence entered the living room, the temperature dropped immediately. Everyone felt stressed.

Although Annie was fully prepared, she still couldn’t help being nervous, afraid that Clarence would find out the truth.

After entering, Clarence sat directly opposite Dempsey. He looked cold and aloof, expressionlessly.

Dempsey wasn’t certain about Clarence’s attitude to Stella. With uncertainty, he said in a deep voice, “Clarence, since you’ve come back, let’s make everything clear.”

Clarence looked up and said in an extremely cold tone, “Good. I also want to announce something.”

Dempsey stroke his walking stick and thought for a moment, “Since Stella is carrying the baby of the Conrad family, we can’t let our later generation outside. You divorced her so suddenly back then. I didn’t agree with you. Now, it’s a good chance for you to remarry.”

Upon hearing it, Clarence cast Stella a glance. Then he asked indifferently, “Said who I’ll remarry her?”

Dempsey frowned unhappily, “Then what are you planning to do? Are you the father of the baby in her belly?”

Clarence said, “Only she knows if I’m the father or not.”

Since Clarence entered, Stella was sitting there, lowering her head.

Upon hearing his words, she subconsciously clenched her fingers. Blood was drained from her face.

It wasn’t the first time that she heard Clarence doubt if he was the father of her baby. However, for some reason, in an instant, she felt as if she was poured by a basin of cold water. Her only hope was gone.

She felt as if she was dragged into an endless abyss, and she couldn’t see any light.

After a moment of silence, Dempsey added, “No matter what, if there’s any possibility, I can’t let the Conrad family’s later generation wander outside. Before the baby is born, she...”

Right then, a woman’s gentle voice was heard at the gate, “Excuse me. Am I interrupting?”

Dempsey looked over. Originally, he was quite unhappy that Phoebe and Clarence had attended the charity banquet and ruined his plan last night. Seeing her show up, he was more impatient, looked extremely annoyed.

Joanna said, “Hi, Phoebe. If you have anything, could you please come over later?”

Right after she finished her words, Clarence stood up and said, “I called her over.”

Joanna’s expression changed when she heard it.

Phoebe smiled and nodded at Joanna as a greeting. Then she took Clarence’s arm, “Uncle Dempsey, Aunt Joanna, Clarence and I are getting married.”

Dempsey stood up immediately, “I don’t agree.”

Clarence withdrew his hand from Phoebe’s arms. He wrapped his hand around her waist and said indifferently, “That’s what I want to announce.”

Phoebe didn’t expect that he would do so. After a short moment of daze, she put back on her smile.

Dempsey paced the floor with the walking stick violently, “You are making trouble. You know Stella is pregnant with your baby, but you...”

“I’ve said only she knows if I’m the father of her baby or not,” Clarence said in a cold and heartless tone, “Even if I were the father, but so what? Said who I must remarry her since she has my baby?”

Justin shook his head, “Clarence, please stop saying that.”

Clarence said, “I’m telling the truth.”

Dempsey was furious, “You...”

Phoebe chimed in, “Uncle Dempsey, I know that Ms. Radomil is pregnant. As long as it’s confirmed that Clarence is the father of the baby, I’m willing to bring up the child. Ms. Radomil, I can promise you here, I’ll treat the baby as my own. If you miss the child, you can always visit us.”

Phoebe’s tone was quite gentle, but she sounded extremely determined. She even promised that she could bring up Stella’s child. Dempsey’s face changed between livid and darkened. He was so furious that he couldn’t utter a word.

Originally, he wanted to mention that Stella was pregnant so that Clarence had to break up with the Steward family. Phoebe was a spoiled woman from a rich family, so how could she bear it? Much to Dempsey’s surprise...

Joanna said, “Phoebe, the marriage is a big thing. You should think twice. Please decide after talking to your father.”

Phoebe answered with a smile, “Aunt Joanna, my father has already known it. He also likes Clarence very much.”

As she spoke, Phoebe looked up at Clarence, “Clarence and I love each other for a long time. I’ve been waiting for this day.”

Clarence didn’t look at her. He was expressionless.

No matter what they were talking about, Stella sat there and looked down. Nobody could tell any emotion in her eyes.

She was just an outsider isolated by them. Meanwhile, she was waiting for the final pronounce judgment.

The scene looked extremely ironic.

Clarence said, “If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave now.”

After finishing his words, he turned around and cast Stella a glance. The latter seemed to sense something and met his eyes. She was startled for a few seconds. When she was about to stand up, Dempsey sat down, “Stella, you’ll stay here.”

Clarence paused his pace, his cold features looking as if they were covered by a layer of frost.

Dempsey added, “Although Clarence doesn’t care about you, you used to be one of our Conrad family. Your baby is probably the later generation of our family. We have the responsibility to take care of you.”

Stella pressed her lips, “I...”

“If you insist on leaving here, nobody around you could take care of you and you might have an abortion. In that case, you’ll drag other innocent people into the mere. Just stay here and wait to give birth. Everything will be fine after the baby is born.”

Stella stiffed. Dempsey was threatening her. Once she left the mansion, he would do something to people around her...

Subconsciously, she looked over at Clarence. Her lips parted. She wanted to say something but couldn’t utter a sound. She felt a sharp pain in her throat.

Phoebe sensed his pause. She gently called, “Clarence?”

Clarence remained expressionlessly, leaving with her while wrapping around her waist.

Until his figure disappeared at the door, Stella gradually withdrew her gaze. She twitched her mouth corners, but she couldn’t smile at all.

Dempsey snorted. With his walking stick, he left.

Justine operated the wheelchair and looked over at Stella, “Stella, just stay here. I promise nobody would hurt you.”

After that, he said to a servant, “Please prepare a room for Ms. Radomil.”

The servant cast Joanna a glance. She didn’t answer until Joanna nodded, “Yes, Mr. Justin.”

Shortly after, Joanna left.

Only Stella, Annie, and Justin were left in the living room.

Annie breathed a sigh of relief. Looking over at Stella, she was quite delighted, “Now, Clarence is marrying Phoebe. Now you should know what kind of person you are. Phoebe is the beloved daughter of the Steward family. She was born noble. Somebody even couldn’t compare...”

“Annie, stop it,” Justin interrupted her in a deep voice.
