Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 212

Clarence said flatly in a business tone, “I have a gambling party tonight. Can you go with me?”

Stella was a bit stunned. She then nodded her head, “Okay.”

“Can we have dinner now?”

Stella laughed drily and returned the document to him, “Mr. Conrad, it depends on you.”

Clarence leaned against the chair and closed his eyes.

Two minutes later, Stella’s phone rang.

It was a call from Emmett.

Stella turned her head to take a glance at Clarence. She didn’t know whether he had fallen asleep or not. After hesitating for several seconds, she picked up her phone.

Emmett said, “Stella, Sherry told me what has happened. Do you need my help?”

Stella subconsciously wanted to decline him, but she changed her mind at the next moment, “Okay, thank you.”

Clarence slowly opened his eyes.

After ending the call, Stella turned to look at Clarence and her eyes met with his calm and unfathomable eyes in the air.

Clarence shifted his gaze and said in a flat tone, “We arrive. Get off the car.”

Originally, Stella had planned not to eat anything. However, for a person who hadn’t had lunch, watching another person having dinner in front of her was a total torture.

She took a deep breath and then walked out of the restaurant to buy something to eat.

Looking at her back, Clarence asked expressionlessly, “What’s in her mind?”

Nathan, who stood aside, didn’t know how to reply it.

Stella had showed her attitude clearly – she wanted to make a clear break with Clarence.

Even though Mr. Conrad tried his best to create a chance to get along with her, it wouldn’t work for too much.

Stella’s mind was simple. Now that she couldn’t evade meeting that wretched man, she would face it calmly.

Clarence suddenly stood up and followed Stella out of the restaurant.

Outside of the restaurant…

Stella just bought a packed food from a convenient store. When she sat at the table, split the disposable chopsticks and prepared to enjoy her dinner, someone suddenly pulled aside her food. At the next moment, he snatched her chopsticks.

Stella was astonished while at the same time annoyed, “Mr. Conrad, aren’t you having dinner?”

“It tastes bad.”

“It’s such a high-end restaurant. How could its dishes not be delicious?”

Clarence retorted in a flat tone, “Then why didn’t you eat the food?”

Stella, “…”

Clarence ignored her and picked up the food she bought just now with the chopsticks he snatched from Stella just now.

Stella felt that she almost died of anger.

She pressed her lips together, walked into the convenience store and bought another packed food again. She then sat down at the other table.

Clarence put down his chopsticks and pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth.

After the dinner, Stella felt a bit thirsty. When she was about to walk into the convenience store again and bought a bottle of water, someone placed a glass of warm water in front of her.

Stella looked up at the man aside.

Before she could find an excuse to decline him, Clarence said, “Just regard it as a compensation for the food you bought. You can throw it away if you don’t want it.”

After finishing the words, he strode towards the Rolls-Royce that was parked by the roadside.

Stella took a glance at him and then at the glass of warm water on the table.

That wretched man was right. This was a compensation for her.

She shouldn’t make things difficult for herself.

Stella picked up the glass, lifted her chin and then gulped down the water.

…

In the Twilight Club…

Stella had never dreamed of coming to this club together with Clarence one day.

It was weird that every time she came here before, she would be overwhelmed by despair and humiliation.

But this time, she didn’t feel anything.

Maybe it was because those humiliating past had disappeared along with Jeffrey’s death.

When Stella pulled herself back to the reality, she saw Clarence fixing his eyes on a corner not far away calmly. It seemed like he was thinking of something and it was hard for her to read through his emotion.

Two minutes later, Stella couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Conrad, why don’t you move forward?”

Clarence replied in a flat tone, “I recall something.”

“What…”

Stella regretted asking it, but it was too late for her to hold back her words.

Clarence said calmly, “A person grabbed my hand when I walked past that corner and begged me to save him before.”

“…”

She had expected this.

It was proved that she shouldn’t give Clarence any reply no matter what he said, because the subsequence would not be satisfactory.

Clarence continued, “Although I’m not a good man, sometimes I would do some good deeds.”

“…” He must have many on his conscience.

“But in the end, she becomes so ungrateful.”

“…”

“Stella Radomil, have you heard of the story ‘The Snake and the Farmer’?”

Stella gritted her teeth, “Mr. Conrad, can you please shut up?”

Clarence looked askance at her and said in a cold voice, “I’m talking about Nathan. Why are you so angry?”

Stella, “…”

Nathan, “…”

Nathan, who thought that he should have some professional quality, took a step forwards after a mental struggle, “Ms. Radomil, Mr. Conrad is right. I encountered a problem in this club before and Mr. Conrad happed to show up…”

Stella looked at him emotionlessly as if she was waiting for his ridiculous excuse.

Nathan continued, “It’s a long story as for why I was here before. It all started from my mom’s illness…”

Clarence said in a cold voice, “Shut up.”

Nathan immediately replied, “All right.”

“It’s unnecessary to explain it to her.”

After finishing the words, Clarence went upstairs without turning around.

Nathan coughed, “Ms. Radomil, this way please.”

Stella asked, “Mr. Lance, can I ask you a question?”

“What?”

‘Oh please, please don’t continue that topic!’ Nathan prayed in his heart.

He couldn’t make up the story anymore.

Stella asked, “Did Mr. Conrad come back to the Conrads’ Mansion several days ago?”

“Ms. Radomil, do you mean…”

“The day when he came to have a talk with me.”

Nathan nodded his head. But he hadn’t expected that Stella would suddenly ask this.

Stella continued, “Did anyone say something to him?”

Nathan replied, “Young Master Justin asked Mr. Conrad to send him back after the Perez family brought Annie back. But I’m not clear of the details of their conversation.”

Stella nodded her head when she heard the reply, “I see. Thank you.”

Ever since that day, Clarence’s attitude had been quite weird.

Although he would still say some annoying sentences to her and target at her deliberately, he looked indifferent and aloof.

He gave her a total different feeling.

And Stella even thought that he had schizophrenia.

It must be Justin Conrad.

Did he say something to Clarence that it affected him?

If that was the case, she should buy a cake to celebrate it.

Seeing that it was Stella who started this topic, Nathan said after hesitating for a while, “Ms. Radomil, maybe Mr. Conrad didn’t tell you about this matter, but I think you should know about it…”

“What’s it?”

“Mr. Conrad only learned about the truth that your first child was lost because you were pushed down the stairs by Miss Annie recently. I also encountered many obstacles when investigating this matter and I guess Madame Conrad was the person manipulating this. Therefore, Mr. Conrad misunderstood that…”

Stella chuckled. No wonder that Clarence’s behavior was so abnormal several days ago.

It turned out this was the reason behind that.
