Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 195

When Stella opened the door, she saw Winnie standing outside and waving at her.

Stella laughed, when she was just about to say something, she saw a man’s silhouette appear slowly behind Winnie.

“…”

Clarence stood still, and turned his head towards her, his expression as if unhappy, “What’s that expression?”

Winnie gave a dry laugh, and explained, “It’s like this, I bumped into Mr. Conrad in the lift just now, isn’t it such a coincidence! Mr. Conrad is here to look for a friend, but that friend is not here, such a pity, so I…”

Stella’s expression remained unchanged, she stared at Clarence and said intentionally, “Didn’t expect Mr. Conrad to even have friends over here.”

Hearing the sarcasm in her voice, Clarence said calmly, “If I have money, would I not have friends?”

Stella, “…”

Damn it, it’s really a sentence that left people speechless.

In the current situation, she couldn’t straight away chase him out, what’s more even if she chased him away, it might not even be effective.

Stella inhaled deeply, and made way for them, “Come in.”

When they were going in, Clarence said in a low voice to Winnie, “Not bad acting skills.”

“…”

She really had to thank him for his compliment.

Following Clarence’s arrival, the originally cosy atmosphere quickly turned to one of ice.

As for Clarence himself, he seemed to not have detected the unwelcoming atmosphere surrounding him, his expression calm and collected.

Stella even felt awkward for him.

Emmett probably didn’t expect him to appear here too. After being stunned for a second, he recovered very quickly and greeted him politely, “Mr. Conrad.”

When Sherry finished her call and came out to this scene, she was stunned. She went next to Winnie and asked, “What happened, that dog… Mr. Conrad, why is he here?”

Winnie took a deep breath, unable to explain her reasons.

In the kitchen, Channing looked at what’s happening outside, and frowned deeply, “Why is he here? Did you invite him?”

Stella said, “No, but…”

“But what?”

Stella laughed, and shook her head lightly.

Even if he hadn’t come with Winnie today, he would have found another way.

Sure enough, it couldn’t even last for two days.

After a moment, Channing said again, “Has he been pestering you lately?”

“Sherry told you this?”

“I guessed.”

Stella, “…”

He was good at guessing.

Stella stopped her thoughts, “Let’s eat.”

On the table, Winnie and Sherry sat together. Daniel, Emmett and Clarence sat on one side each.

Once Channing went out, she was dragged by Sherry to sit next to Daniel.

The leftover seats were next to Clarence and Emmett.

This meant that Stella had to choose between the both of them.

Seeing this scene, Stella wanted to just disappear into thin air.

What was this battlefield?

She turned around and looked at the person that caused this situation. Without thinking she already knew that it was Sherry.

Seeing that the situation had escalated very quickly, Sherry immediately said seriously, “This… Stella, you sit next to Emmett, don’t squeeze next to Mr. Conrad.”

Stella’s temples were pounding, she would settle this with Sherry later.

Just when she was about to sit down, her wrist was pulled by someone.

Clarence raised her head to look her, his gaze calm, “I’m not afraid of squeezing, you sit here.”

“…”

Winnie couldn’t bear to continue looking at this situation. She had brought Clarence here today without informing everyone, she indeed felt very bad. She got up and said, “Stella, you sit here, Clarence and I…”

Before she even finished her words, a cold gaze turned to her.

She quickly sat down, and rubbed her neck awkwardly, pretending as if nothing happened.

Using this opportunity, Stella quickly found an excuse, “I suddenly recalled that something is still cooking in the kitchen, you guys eat first.”

Finishing her words, she quickly pulled away Clarence’s hand, turned around and ran back to the kitchen.

Clarence gazed at her back for a while, as if calculating the possibility of them sitting together.

A few seconds later, he turned to look at Emmett.

Emmett, “?”

Under everyone’s astonished eyes, Clarence emptied out a seat, and moved to sit next to Emmett.

Everyone, “…”

Sherry said quietly by the side, “Is this what people meant by, if I can’t get it, neither can you?”

Winnie nodded in agreement, “This is what they meant by war makes both parties lose out.”

Stella stayed in the kitchen for over ten minutes. She finally decided to go out and get Chan to swap seats with her.

Clarence’s threat wouldn’t work on Chan.

With this decision in mind, she felt that she had finally let go of the rock in her heart.

But what she didn’t realize was that the seats outside had been swapped, and left her a single seat.

This was even better, it would prevent a lot of awkwardness.

Clarence’s gaze swept across the house, his eyes finally fell on the bouquet of flowers on the coffee table. His brows frowned slightly.

He said quietly, “Was that flower given by Mr. Carter?”

Emmett said, “Yes.”

Clarence replied, “Doesn’t Mr. Carter know that Stella is allergic to flowers. Mr. Carter your enthusiasm is given to the wrong person.”

Before he even finished his words, Stella looked at Emmett and smiled, “Not true, I love flowers, thank you very much.”

Emmett smiled and nodded his head slightly.

Clarence pursed his lips slightly, and looked at her from the side of his eyes.

Stella quickly averted her gaze, and lowered her head to eat something.

At this moment, Daniel opened his mouth and said, “Mr. Conrad, don’t you bring anything when coming to people’s house?”

Hearing this, Sherry quickly used this opportunity to agree, “Yes, Emmett brought flowers, Daniel brought red wine, Mr. Conrad what did you bring?”

Clarence, “…”

He licked his lips, and looked towards Winnie, “She didn’t bring anything too right?”

Daniel smiled, “Winnie is a girl, Mr. Conrad why are you comparing yourself with her.”

Clarence asked him back, “What’s the difference with being a girl, everyone is equal.”

With these words, Stella choked on her food.

This son of a bitch really learned fast.

Daniel must not have expected Clarence’s skin to be so thick, after being stunned for a bit he stopped talking.

After a few seconds of silence, Clarence looked at the oily food in his bowl, and his brows furrowed.

Stella was just sitting by his side, and she noticed his slight change in expression.

She almost forgot, this son of a bitch didn’t like eating oily food.

And in his bowl, was quite a lot of oil.

Stella pursed her lips, but in the end she didn’t do anything.

Good that he didn’t like it, then just stop eating and leave.

A few seconds later, Emmett that was sitting next to him noticed too. He asked, “Mr. Conrad do you not like to eat hotpot.”

There were so many people around now, hence Sherry wasn’t afraid, she quickly added, “Mr. Conrad is used to eating delicacies, I think this doesn’t cater to his appetite.”

Channing said calmly, “If that’s the case, better not force yourself, what’s more we’re not from the same walk of life.”
