Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 400

Stella woke up at six o’clock in the next morning. She opened her eyes and looked at the dark sky, seeming to be pondering something.

She though over it for the whole night, yet still couldn’t understand why Clarence would bring her to visit his mother at this point of time.

It was impossible that it was simply because of her words.

Before, whenever she told him that she wanted to visit Dolores, Clarence would shift the topic. But this time he directly brought her here.

Stella really couldn’t figure out what Clarence was thinking.

Feeling sleepless, Stella was absent-minded for a while. Then she lifted the quilt and got off the bed, preparing to go to the garden downstairs.

When she closed the door, Clarence slowly opened his eyes.

The sky gradually became bright. When Stella went to the garden, the sky was a bit overcast and she could vaguely see the road.

She sat on a swing and swung casually.

The air here was quite fresh. Sometimes when there was a breeze, Stella could smell the fragrance of flowers.

Many things had happened during this period and Stella was nervous every day. She felt it good to sit on a swing with a blank mind.

She sat there for an hour and the sky became brighter.

Stella took a glance at her phone and thought it was time to get into the house. She then walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

They had to come back to City N after the breakfast and they would arrive there at noon at the soonest.

When Dolores got up, she found that Stella had prepared the breakfast and asked, “Stella, why don’t you sleep for a longer while?”

Stella replied with a smile, “I had a good sleep last night and I couldn’t fall asleep again after waking up.”

Dolores said, “Leave the rest matters to me. Go upstairs and wake up Clare.”

“Okay.”

Stella immediately went upstairs. When she pushed open the door, she found that Clarence was wearing his shirt.

Stella, “?”

She took a glance at the shirt on the sofa and asked, “Didn’t you say that you didn’t bring clothes for changing here?”

“I lied to you, but you believed it.”

Wretched man, damn you!

Clarence curled his lips into a smile, picked up the necktie aside, walked to Stella and raised his brows, “Can you help me?”

Stella sneered, “You also wore a necktie when I was not by your side.”

Clarence curled his lips into a smile, leaned forwards and whispered into her ear, “Of course I can wear it by myself. It’s just that the expression doesn’t feel that good.”

Stella recalled the scenes of that night and immediately blushed. She anxiously grabbed the necktie from him, randomly tied it, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, “Can you not be that annoying?”

Stella still had a red face when she went downstairs.

Seeing this, Dolores asked, “Stella, what’s wrong? Did you catch a cold because of your thin clothes? This place has large temperature difference between morning and evening. Have you taken pills?”

Stella hurriedly waved her hands, “No need. It’s just that…”

She couldn’t find an excuse at the moment and could only step heavily on the culprit Clarence.

Clarence said without any expressional change, “She’s good. She would bluish when she’s excited.”

Dolores was confused, “Excited?”

Clarence said slowly, “Maybe she was so excited when she opened her eyes and saw such an outstanding and perfect boyfriend.”

Dolores, “…”

Stella, “…”

Oh gosh, she wished so much that she could be as cheeky as him, in that case, she would not be so embarrassed that she even wanted to hide herself under the table.

“Yes.”

Stella reached out to pull open the car door, “Come back quickly. I…”

Before he could finish her words, she was pulled back by Clarence. He leaned forwards, leaned a kiss on her lips and tasted it for a while. Then he let go of her and said with satisfaction, “Go back.”

Stella curled her lips into a smile, got off the car and left.

The driver asked, “Mr. Conrad, are we coming back to the company?”

Looking at Stella’s back, Clarence replied, “Go to the other place first.”

The driver understood it immediately, “Okay.”

When Stella walked into the studio, Sherry hurriedly followed her into the office and asked, “Stella, where have you been?”

Stella sat onto the chair, “I went to the other city. What’s the matter?”

Sherry said in a low voice, “Charles came to find you this morning. I guess it’s because he’s not satisfied with the statement you post yesterday and wants our studio to post a new statement. Luckily you were not here. But be careful when you come back to the Steward family today. He looked gloomy and I’m afraid that he will make use of every chance to go hard on you.”

“It’s okay.” Stella replied, “He has never been kind to me.”

It seemed like it was a wise choice as she didn’t come back to the Steward family last night; otherwise, Charles would have required her to post a new statement. Luckily she was not present last night.

Now as it had been dragged for a long time, it was meaningless even if she posted a new statement now.

Sitting beside her, Sherry put her head on the desk and heaved a sigh, “How long will you live in the Steward family. Nope, I should ask you when you will expose Charles and Phoebe’s real faces.”

Stella paused when she heard the words and her smile gradually disappeared.

Not to mention the fact Steward family that had a deep-rooted foundation, Charles alone was hard to deal with. From the things he did in the past, she could tell that he was extremely thoughtful, scheming and prudent.

It was hard to get something on him unless he gave the show away or unless there was certain evidence. Otherwise, she could not shake his status at all.

Even Cameron could not directly offend Charles. It was enough to prove that Charles was powerful.
