Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 202

They drove all the way to a private mansion.

Emmett got off the car, walked to the door of the passenger seat, and pulled open the door for Stella.

Stella said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Let’s enter the house.”

Stella looked up and found that the decoration of the mansion was peaceful and elegant, giving people a feeling that the owner of the house must be an intelligent person.

After entering the house, a maid immediately walked over, “Mr. Carter, Mr. Thomas is waiting for you in the tearoom.”

Emmett slightly nodded his head and led Stella to the tearoom.

He stopped at the door and said to Stella in a low voice, “Stella, you don’t need to say anything later. You can just sit beside me.”

Stella nodded her head, “Okay.”

In the tearoom…

A man with grey hair was making tea in front of the tea table.

This should be the ‘Mr. Thomas’.

A pair of middle-aged couple was sitting opposite to him.

Stella was a bit stunned when she saw them.

Cameron Thomas put the teapot on the table when he heard the footsteps and looked over. He was a bit stunned when seeing Stella who was standing beside Emmett, “Who’s this lady?”

Emmett introduced to him, “This is Stella Radomil. She’s my friend.”

He then introduced to Stella, “This is Mr. Thomas. He’s my father’s teacher.”

Stella greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Thomas.”

Cameron chuckled, “I haven’t expected that Emmett would have such a beautiful friend. Oh, please take a seat here.”

Annie’s parents exchanged a glance. Although Annie had told them that Emmett knew Stella, they hadn’t expected that he would take her here.

Cameron pulled a cup of tea for Emmett and Stella respectively and then said to Stella, “This is the first time that Emmett brought her friend to visit me. Looks like you’re not just friends, right?”

Stella was a bit stunned when she heard this question. She didn’t know how to reply it.

Emmett smiled and got a word in, “Sorry for showing my problem. I bring Stella for some personal reasons, but more importantly, Mr. Thomas, I hope you can redress an injustice for her.”

“Oh?” Cameron asked, “Was she bullied? Tell me what happened. As long as I can help you, I will not turn a blind eye to it.”

Annie’s father couldn’t help but get a word in, “Mr. Thomas, it’s a misunderstanding…”

Cameron turned his head to look at him and asked while furrowing his brows, “What’s it? Does it have anything to do with you?”

“Ms. Radomil has been in conflict with my daughter for a long time. It’s not a big deal because it’s normal that kids often can’t deal with it properly. I’ve apologized to Mr. Carter. It’s just that…”

Annie’s parents were here for the cooperation with Star Ferry.

Ever since Annie offended Emmett, Emmett had cancelled the cooperation unilaterally. But her parents had put in great effort to get this cooperation, so how would they give up easily? Therefore, they had found Emmett for countless times.

Seeing that it didn’t work, they pinned their last hope on Cameron.

It was Cameron who helped them to win the cooperation before.

They thought that even though Emmett was outstanding, he was still a young man who should show some respects to Mr. Thomas.

Cameron said, “You guys confused me. Are you apologizing to Emmett, or to Ms. Radomil?”

Emmett curled his lips into a light smile, “Mr. Thomas, let me tell you about this.”

Stella turned her head to look at Emmett, but Emmett just slightly nodded his head to assure her.

Emmett briefly narrated what happened in Stella’s studio that day. Annie’s parents said that Annie was still a child, but in fact, she was a spoiled daughter who threw her weight around acted wildly and arrogantly.

Her parents’ expression turned gloomy when they heard the narration. They couldn’t find a word to retort it.

They were also clear of their daughter’s characteristics.

It was just that everyone in the Conrad family looked down upon Stella and naturally no one would criticize Annie.

In the end, Annie’s mother said unhappily, “It’s the domestic affair of our family after all, but Mr. Carter, you excoriate us for it. Do you know that it has nothing to do with you?”

Stella slowly looked over and said with a cold face, “Domestic affair? Which family’s domestic affair?”

“You…” Annie’s mother wanted to criticize her, but was then stopped by her husband.

Annie’s father said to Stella, “Ms. Radomil, it’s true that my daughter Annie has offended you before. But it’s already the past and Annie has been punished for it. I hope that you can forgive her this time.”

“That’s true. Annie is still under house arrest in the Conrad family. Ms. Radomil, please show some mercy.”

Stella curled her lips into a light smile, “She deserves it. Does it have anything to do with me?”

Annie’s mother abruptly stood up, “Stella Radomil, you really overvalue yourself. It’s just that Emmett backs up you. Do you think that others will think highly of you? You’re just a woman dumped by Clarence. Do you think that you’re in the running to be a royal after hooking up with Emmett?”

Annie’s father hurriedly stood up to pull his wife. He said apologetically, “Mr. Thomas, we…”

“Enough is enough. How coward you are! The Perez family is a noble family and we don’t need to beg them.”

Annie’s mother picked up her handbag, turned around and left.

Annie’s father consecutively bowed to Cameron, “Mr. Thomas, I’m so sorry. The words burst from her in an angry rush. Please don’t take it to your heart.”

Cameron took a sip of the tea and said in a flat tone, “Such being the case, I’m afraid that I can’t help you.”

Annie’s father took a glance at Emmett, but Emmett still sat on the chair with indifference written all over his face.

He gritted his teeth and left reluctantly.

After their leaving, Cameron heaved a long sigh and then said to Emmett, “Emmett, it’s my bad that I didn’t investigate the situation in advance.”

“Mr. Thomas, please don’t say this. I just feel that I should tell you about the truth.”

Cameron said to Stella, “It’s their fault. Please don’t take their words to your heart. Originally I didn’t want to get involved in the conflict between the Conrad family and the Perez family, but as Landon was once my student and I wanted to help him when seeing that the Perez family was confronting difficulty.”

Stella smiled, “Thank you, Mr. Thomas.”

Right at this moment, a maid knocked at the door and told them that the dinner was ready.

Cameron stood up, “Let’s go for dinner.”

Emmett and Stella followed behind him. Emmett whispered to Stella, “Stella, I should have told you about this in advance.”

He pressed his lips and added, “I’m sorry. I planned to let them apologize to you before.”

Stella replied, “It doesn’t matter. I’ve never expected to receive an apology from them.”

No matter it be Annie or Joanna, their apology wouldn’t comfort her. Instead, it would only disgust her.
