Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 214

Maybe it was because he had cornered Stella that she turned to Emmett.

If so, he could only change his strategy.

Vincent laughed drily, “Then… I wish it a success.”

Clarence looked askance at him and said dissatisfiedly, “Is your expression showing a blessing?”

“…”

“I think that this approach may not work. Clarence, in a work, you don’t know what are in girls’ minds.”

Clarence replied, “But I know what’s in Stella’s mind.”

Vincent thought his words made sense.

Stella walked out of a toilet compartment and ripped down a paper to wipe her hands. When she was about to walk out of the toilet, a person walked past her.

Then a female voice sounded from behind, “Stella Radomil?”

Stella paused and turned around.

After a short while of astonishment, Madison Taylor crossed her arms in front of her chest and said arrogantly, “Why are you here? Did Emmett come with you?”

“Nope.”

“That’s weird. This place has high consumption standards. Come on, are you here to gather with your friend?”

Madison’s lines of words were full of disdain.

Stella replied in a flat tone, “Does it have anything to do with you?”

Probably Madison hadn’t expected to hear this answer from Stella and there was a slight change in her expression. She then snorted scornfully, “I reminded you well-intentionally. You may know that a glass of wine here is priced at least ten thousand. I’m afraid that your hard-earned money after a long period of work would be gone in one night. After all, it’s not easy for people in the service industry like you to earn money.”

“You talked so much with me. Are you planning to treat me a glass of wine tonight?”

Madison moved her lips, yet was lost for words for a long time.

Her husband and his friends had a party here tonight and he finally agreed to bring her here as she kept begging him.

Of course Madison couldn’t invite Stella.

Seeing this, Stella chuckled, “Mind your own business and don’t intervene in other people’s affairs.”

When Stella was about to leave, Madison’s voice sounded, “Stella, I remember that you got divorced, right? An employee in my company also divorced recently and I think you two will be a good match. Do you want to get to know him?”

Without waiting for Stella’s answer, she continued, “People should look forwards. You marriage is a failure because your ex-husband is not a good man. I’ve investigated him. Although he has two children, he’s an honest man. Most importantly, he will pamper his wife and has an awesome annual salary. After marrying him, what you need to do is only to take care of the children at home and enjoy your life. Generally I won’t introduce such a man with good marriage conditions to others easily.”

“Since he has such good conditions, I should leave him to you.”

“You…”

Stella ignored her. She threw the paper that she used to wipe her hands just now into the bin and then left.

Madison stood there, stomping her feet resentfully.

She’s just a woman who just got divorced, how could she be so arrogant? Did she think that she was still the woman who was surrounded by many pursuers?

After coming back to the private room, Stella noticed that many of them had left and only Clarence was sitting on the sofa and drinking wine.

It seemed like that he had drunken a lot.

Stella asked, “Mr. Conrad, is it finished?”

Clarence glanced over her, “Why don’t you come back until tomorrow?”

Stella’s mouth corners twitched. She picked up her bag, “Now that it’s finished, I have to go first.”

“Come here.”

Stella didn’t move. She asked, “Mr. Conrad, is there any other matter?”

Clarence said in a flat tone, “Sit down.”

After a short while of hesitation, Stella sat down on the sofa yet kept a meter away from him.

Clarence pushed a glass of wine to her, “Have a try.”

Stella declined, “Thank you, but I don’t drink.”

“It’s sweet with light alcohol strength.”

It seemed like Stella was not convinced. She stared at him with vigilance written all over her face.

Clarence said, “Is it necessary for me to find an excuse if I want to do something to you?”

“…”

His words made sense.

This wretched man was cold to her today and she guessed it was because his patience had run out as he told him last time.

Stella picked up the glass and took a sip of it. She then licked her lips. It was true that it was sweet.

She lifted her chin and gulped down the rest of the wine.

But when she put down the glass, Clarence pushed another glass of wine to her.

Stella, “…”

Didn’t he think that he had gone too far?

Clarence said nonchalantly, “I’ve told you, if you want to beg me, you should have corresponding attitude. To prevent you from going back on your words in the future, and to prevent you from owing my favor again, we should get even with each other now.

Stella took a deep breath. All right!

She gulped down several glasses of wine consecutively and wanted to go to the restroom again.

But she hadn’t expected that she would feel dizzy when she stood up.

After a while of dizziness, Stella slumped into the sofa again, looking at the front blankly with a pair of watery eyes.

Clarence supported his head with one elbow on the edge of the table and fixed his eyes on her silently, as if he had been waiting for this.

He raised his eyebrows and called her name in a low voice, “Stella Radomil.”

Stella turned around with confusion written all over her small face.

Clarence asked slowly, “Do you remember me?”

“I’m drunken, not stupid.”

“Really?”

Stella picked up her back. She wanted to stand up again, yet only to find that she was had no strength.

When she finally stood up for a little bit with the support of the table, someone grabbed her wrist and used a slight force, and then she fell down again.

But this time, she didn’t slump into the sofa but the man’s embrace.

Stella reached out to push him away, but she was so feeble that it looked like she was flirting with him.

Clarence put his hand on her waist and confined her effortlessly.

He asked again, “Stella, I will ask you again. Who am i?”

Looking at the annoying face in front of her, Stella’s mind became messier and messier. Out of the instinct, she landed a slap on his face and whimpered in an aggrieved tone, “Wretched man!”

Clarence, “…”

He pulled down her hand and grasped it in his hand, “Have a closer look. I’m your husband.”

“You’re not. I’ve divorced.”

“Nope. Your memory is not true.”

Stella became more confused when hearing this.

They hadn’t divorced? How could it be possible?

She remembered that she had divorced him.

Clarence continued, “It’s the one-year anniversary of our wedding. You’re so happy that you drank too much.”

He said as if it was the truth. As Stella was so dizzy, she was gradually convinced by his lies.

“Stella, it’s our wedding anniversary today. Did you prepare a gift for me?”

“Oh…” Stella looked around and rummaged her pocket. She then lowered her head, “Sorry, I forgot it.”

Clarence said, “Verbal apology is not honest.”

Stella looked up at him and hesitated for several seconds. After making sure that there was no detest on the man’s face, she leaned forwards tentatively and gently landed her lips onto his, “Is this enough?”
