Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 138

After a moment, Sherry asked, “Well... Are you planning not to meet Clarence again in the future?”

Stella was silent for a moment. She answered, “No. I won’t meet him again.”

The marriage between Clarence and her was a mistake. It was time to end this mistake completely.

“But I always sensed that Clarence shouldn’t be willing to let you go. Besides, he likes you, doesn’t he...”

After a long while, Stella smiled, “Even if he likes me, it means nothing. Besides, he’s getting married soon. How could he have the energy to care about me?”

Sherry heaved a sigh, “That’s right. Those rich and powerful families get married as if they were playing games. You can’t take it seriously.”

Afraid that people from the Conrad family would find out, Sherry couldn’t stay in Stella’s room for a long time. Soon, she went downstairs.

Meanwhile, Clarence had finished the interview.

After Sherry and the editor of SG Jewelry Magazine left, Clarence asked a servant, “Where is Stella?”

“Ms. Radomil is in her room.”

Clarence walked towards the garden while saying, “Ask her to come downstairs.”

The servant nodded, “Yes, Mr. Clarence.”

In Stella’s room.

Stella was looking out of the window in a daze when hearing the knocks on the door.

...

She reluctantly walked to the garden. When seeing Clarence, she walked over slowly, “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad. What can I do for you?”

Clarence sat at a round table and took a sip of the coffee in his mug. He said indifferently, “Isn’t it good to have a walk?”

In the past few days, Stella also wanted to take a walk outside. However, she knew clearly that except for Justin, people in the Conrad family all disliked her and disdained her. Hence, she almost stayed in her room all the time except to take a walk with Justin in the evening.

Clarence was almost in the same situation as her.

However, he could speak and behave quite naturally and unrestrainedly, which displeased all people in the Conrad family.

Stella guessed that in this world, only Clarence could make those people who disliked him uneasy because of his existence.

Thinking about it, Stella admired Clarence somehow.

Meanwhile, a servant served a plate to them.

Stella sat opposite Clarence. After the servant left, she continued, “Mr. Conrad, don’t you need to go to work?”

Clarence put down the coffee mug, “I’m taking a break.”

“I see.”

It was quite rare that the wretched man talked in such a normal tone. Stella couldn’t get used to it for a while.

She lowered her head and took a bite of the fruit. Then she said, “Mr. Conrad, thank you.”

Clarence looked up at her slightly. Stretching his arms on the back of his chair, he said casually, “What for?”

“Mr. Conrad, thank you for making Sherry meet me today.”

In the past few days, she was quite depressed when staying here. She couldn’t find anyone to talk to. After talking with Sherry, she became happier.

Clarence said indifferently, “? I thought she’s named Sofia Cooper.”

Stella was speechless.

It seemed that he wouldn’t forget about this matter.

She wanted to correct her comments on him just now. The wretched man was still fond of tricking others as usual.

In distance, the sunshine was exposed behind the layer of clouds. It fell on and the whole garden seemed to be gilded.

Under the warm sunshine, Stella was a bit sleepy. She yawned.

Right then, she suddenly felt a kick from the baby in her belly.

Then the little fellow became quite spiritual and started to make a fuss.

Hence, Stella wasn’t sleepy at all. She touched her belly, curling up her lips into a smile.

When she subconsciously looked up, only to find Clarence was staring at her in silence. His eyes were deepened.

She whispered, “Mr. Conrad, what are you looking at?”

Clarence asked instead of answering, “What are you laughing about then?”

Stella immediately put away her smile. Pressing her lips, she said, “Mr. Conrad, you wouldn’t want to know it.”

Clarence frowned unhappily, “How do you know it if you don’t tell me?”

Stella wasn’t in the mood to argue with him meaninglessly. She said, “The baby moved. The little fellow is having fun in my belly.”

Clarence didn’t react.

Stella clicked her tongue secretly. She knew that he wouldn’t want to know.

She planned to go back to her room.

When she was about to stand up, she felt a big palm gently covering her belly.

Clarence slightly looked down and asked, “Isn’t it moving now?”

Stella was taken aback. Then she returned to her senses and said gently, “It’s not there.”

Clarence moved his hand, “Here?”

“Nope...” Stella didn’t know how to tell him, so she could only pull his hand and move it down, “Here.”

When Clarence moved his palm over the place she mentioned, he felt a kick.

The little fellow seemed not to stop at all, so he felt continuous kicks.

Clarence asked, “Does it often move like this?”

“Not quite often... Just recently, it moves quite frequently. After making a fuss for a while, it’ll rest when it’s tired.”

“Usually how long?”

Stella didn’t know as she didn’t check the time.

Without receiving her answer, Clarence didn’t insist on asking her. He stared at his palm without a blink.

The little thing in Stella’s belly would turn and move around. He would find a different corner to make a fuss.

Hence, Clarence followed the baby’s trace and moved his hand.

He kept the gesture for at least ten minutes.

In the beginning, Stella didn’t feel anything wrong. After all, Clarence was the father of the baby. Although he never took the responsibility as the father and he’d rather that the baby didn’t come at all, Stella couldn’t kick him away at this time in this place under such a circumstance.

After he kept doing it for a long time, Stella started feeling quite uneasy.

Let alone how close they were to each other, his current posture was quite ambiguous.

She couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Conrad, my... my legs are numb.”

Upon hearing it, Clarence looked up at her, “What?”

Stella said, “I want to stand up.”

Clarence withdrew his hand finally. He stood up and reached out his hand to her.

Stella was confused.

Clarence said impatiently, “Aren’t your legs numb?”

Stella finally understood that he wanted to help her up. After a hesitation, she reached out her hand.

As soon as she stood up, she whispered, “Thank you.”

Clarence withdrew his hand and put it into his trousers pocket, ignoring her.

Stella moved her all fours and saw Phoebe come over. The latter greeted her with a smile, “Good morning, Ms. Radomil.”

As she spoke, she looked over at Clarence, “Hi, Clarence. Here you are as well.”

Clarence hummed indifferently without speaking anything else.

Stella, however, felt a bit awkward. She also felt fortunate that she made an excuse to stand of. Otherwise, if Phoebe saw the scene just now when walking over, it would be true...

Stella nodded at Phoebe as greeting, “Hi, Miss Steward. I’m taking off now. Please suit yourselves.”

Phoebe looked at Clarence and smiled. She said, “Ms. Radomil, you are pregnant, and you need to be careful. Please let me walk you to your room.”
