Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 166

On the second day, the black Rolls-Royce was pulled over at the roadside.

Nathan pressed down the car window and peered out. Then he withdrew his gaze. He said gingerly as if he was going to be killed the next second, “Mr. Conrad, the studio seems to be closed. I guess Mrs. Conrad has taken the weekend off.”

Clarence pressed his thin lips and looked up at Nathan, “Do you think she has done it purposely?”

Yesterday he told her that he would come to fine her today, but she deliberately closed the store today.

Nathan could only smile bitterly inwardly. It was just the lovers’ temperament and interest between the Conrad couple. How could he know?

Clarence inhaled, “Call her and ask her where she is now.”

Upon hearing it, Nathan immediately pulled out his cell phone. A few seconds later, he whispered, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad has also blocked my number.”

Clarence was speechless.

Right then, Nathan saw a written notice pasted at the door of the studio. He pulled the door open and approached closer to read.

There was a contact number on the notice. It said that the client could call this number if there was something urgent.

Nathan immediately dialed the number. After a few beeps, the phone was answered.

Sherry said, “Hello, who is that please?”

Nathan said, “Miss, I want to buy a designed necklace, but after I’ve arrived at your gate, it turns out that your studio is closed. May I know when you’ll be back?”

“Oh... I’m sorry. My friend and I came to our classmate reunion today. If you are not in a hurry, you can come to our store tomorrow and have a detailed discussion.”

“I see.” Nathan turned around and looked at the man sitting in the black Rolls-Royce, “Our boss needs it as soon as possible. Would you mind giving us your location, please? We can go to discuss with you right now.”

Sherry hesitated.

Nathan immediately added, “Our boss will be on a business trip tonight and won’t come back until half a month later. He wants to design a gift for his girlfriend, so he’d like to meet the designer in advance.”

Sherry thought for a moment and agreed, “Okay, I’ll send you a location later. We can meet here. Thanks for your understanding.”

Since the client came to them and insisted, she couldn’t send them away.

Besides, they would only discuss the design. It shouldn’t take them much time.

“Not at all. I’m sorry for troubling you.”

After hanging up the phone, Nathan finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least, they could meet Stella later.

Although he played a trick, at least he could save his job in danger.

...

In a private box.

After returning from answering the call, Sherry whispered something in Stella’s ear.

Stella nodded, “Sure. It’s fine.”

A woman who was sitting next to them suddenly said, “Alas, Sherry. How come your studio is so busy? We’re in the reunion with our classmates, but you are still busy working.”

This woman was named Madison Taylor. She was from a middle-class family. It was said that she married an executive manager of a big company. Right now, she was a housewife at home and enjoyed her life very much. She didn’t get along with Sherry or Stella in college. She always spoke sarcastically and put a wedge between others.

Sherry originally invited some college classmates with whom she got along very well, but she didn’t expect that one or two disgusting people also came here.

Sherry smiled perfunctorily, “Please excuse me. I don’t think you would understand about being busy like us.”

Madison retorted disdainfully, “In my family, it’s enough for my husband to be busy alone. I just need to stay home doing skincare and taking care of myself. In my spare time, I’ll have high tea with my besties or spend a holiday in a seaside city. Isn’t there an old saying like a woman is better married than born? But I don’t think could understand it now. I heard that Liam cheated on you a few months ago. What a pity! I thought I would attend your wedding.”

As soon as Sherry heard that disgusting name, her temples popped. Thinking of her purpose of organizing the classmate reunion today, she tried her best to suppress her anger instead of blow up on Madison.

Right then, other people at the table noticed the embarrassment. They meddled, “By the way, Liam Keith is just a scumbag. I’ve thought that he’s a nice man before. How come he’s such a jerk!”

“Exactly. I heard that it was a big scene that his mistress was caught in adultery that day. How I wish I could be there at the scene! Then I could witness how miserable the son of the bitch and the bitch were.”

“Right. I heard that Liam realized that he was framed by someone but he couldn’t find who that person was. Sherry, was that you?”

Sherry answered calmly, “How could I be that capable? This exactly explains that if you do much injustice, you will die eventually. Maybe it’s the justice comes from heaven.”

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Stella to see how her expression was.

However, Stella kept a slight smile at her mouth corners. She didn’t react at all.

After bitching about Liam for a while, someone suddenly changed the subject to Stella, “By the way, Stella, what have you been doing in the past three years? Someone said you got married. Some said you went abroad. Some also said...”

When the person who was speaking hadn’t finished the words, the other person poked her with the elbow. Suddenly, she realized something and shushed.

Stella looked up slightly and said with a smile, “I’ve divorced.”

Upon hearing it, all people at the table quieted down, “We all thought that you would marry Horace. Unexpectedly...”

Sherry chimed in, “Oh, by the way, where is Emmett? Why hasn’t he arrived yet? He’s half an hour late already.”

Someone answered, “It seems he encountered a traffic jam. I just asked him. He’s arriving soon.”

Emmett Carter used to be their classmate. He was an excellent student, wearing a pair of big black-framed glasses. However, he always kept a low key. Both his parents were scientific researchers. He was polite and well-educated. Usually, he was quiet and not talkative.

Sherry had asked around - he hadn’t got married and was still single and available.

In her opinion, with Emmett’s background and character, he should be the best candidate for the other half.

Since entering the box, Sherry carefully studied all the single men at the table. Some of them became fat. Some of them were bluffing about their tiny projects, quite unreliable.

Now, she had to put all her hopes on Emmett.

Shortly after, the door of the box was pushed open, “I’m sorry. I’m late.”

All of them looked over in the direction of the voice. A woman said, “Excuse me. Are you entering the wrong box...”

The man smiled, “I’m Emmett.”

Upon hearing it, not only the woman who asked him but also others all gaped. A man stood up and said in disbelief, “Are you Emmett? Gosh! You’ve changed tremendously.”

The quiet boy with the black-framed glasses had become a handsome businessman. All of them were agape.

Sherry couldn’t help but praise herself inwardly. Sure enough, she had made a wise decision.

Immediately, she stood up and pull the chair next to Stella, “Come on, Emmett. We’re waiting for you. Have a seat, please.”
