Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 623

Clarence was silent for a long while when he heard her words. He looked down at the ground, seeming to be pondering something.

Stella said, “Didn’t you say you’re tired? Hurry up to sleep. Don’t think too much and then talk nonsense.”

Clarence low voice sounded after a short while, “You said it.”

Stella was stunned for several seconds when she heard the words, doubting that she had said something she was not supposed to say.

But she concluded later that what she had said was appropriate.

Was he angered by her criticism?

Clarence looked up at her and repeated, “You said it. So don’t try to find any excuse to leave me in the future.”

Stella finally figured it out and retorted, “I think they’re two different things.”

“I don’t think so.”

“Well, as you like it. Go to bed now.”

Clarence stood up and took the tray from Stella, “I will wash it. Go to have a bath.”

“Nope…”

Before Stella could say something to refuse it, Clarence had walked out of the bedroom and walked to the kitchen.

Looking at his back, Stella heaved a sigh emotionally and thought to herself: Well, it’s fine as long as he’s happy with it.

As expected, two minutes later, there came some sounds of dishes breaking from the kitchen.

Oh, just take it as a way for him to vent his depression.

…

When Stella walked out of the bathroom, she found Clarence was holding a tablet computer and focusing on his work on the bed. His brows were slightly knitted.

She asked, “Aren’t you tired?”

“When I heard that you can’t leave me, I thought I could hold on for longer.”

Stella was speechless.

She wanted to retort him.

He was so good at creating a dream.

Stella sat on the edge of the bed, turned on her phone and took a glance at the time, “Will you work late?”

Clarence replied, “It’s not related to work.”

Stella suddenly felt curious, “Why are you so serious if it’s not about work?”

When she saw his expression just now, she thought he must have a tough nut to crack.

Clarence didn’t reply and simply titled his tablet computer towards Stella.

Stella put down her phone and looked over.

On the screen were photos of various kinds of wedding dresses.

Stella froze.

Clarence scrolled down and said blandly, “These are all famous wedding dress designers in the world and there are many styles. I’ve selected several dresses that I think are beautiful. Have a look at them later and pick the one you like best. I will let Nathan find the designer and you can tell him the details of the wedding dress you want.”

Stella finally pulled herself together after a long while, “Tell me, how you can shift from the mood of talking nonsense and not wanting me to bother you so quickly to this topic?”

Clarence corrected her, “I didn’t ask you not to bother me. I just said that I won’t bother you since I’m sick.”

“Is there any difference?”

“To prevent you from cursing at me behind my back, I think it’s necessary to differentiate them.”

Stella suddenly felt a bit dizzy and thought she completely couldn’t understand what he was thinking.

Clarence continued, “Now that you’ve made it clear that you can’t leave me, it will be inappropriate if I don’t show you my sincerity.”

The more Stella thought of it, the angrier she became. Stella couldn’t help but kick him.

Clarence moved slightly. He thought that Stella had a nightmare and subconsciously pulled her into his arms and patted her back, which was a silent consolation.

Stella curled her lips into a light smile. Never mind. She didn’t want to stick to this problem now.

…

On the other side…

When Elaine came home, she found her father was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression.

She recalled the slap on her face and subconsciously shrank back, “Dad…”

Franklin looked towards her, “You’re supposed to kneel in the ancestral hall? Who allowed you to go back?”

Elaine lowered her head and stammered for a long while, but she didn’t disclose Darnell in the end.

Franklin heaved a long sigh, “Elaine, I’ve told you several times, but why don’t you listen to my words? How dare you contradict those doyens in the public? Have you shown any respect to your grand-grandfather?”

Elaine frowned, “But I think marriage it’s my own business and it has nothing to do with them. Why do I have to listen to their suggestions?”

“Darnell is the patriarch of the James family. Is there any disadvantage for you to marry him? Moreover, I will back you up and he won’t dare to bully you.”

“But I still want to find a person that I like. More… Moreover, he’s my uncle and I think it’s very strange.”

Franklin chuckled angrily, “A person you like? Clarence? You only met him several times and you think you like him?”

Elaine retorted stubbornly, “I fall in love with him at the first sight.”

“Okay. Then answer my question. Do you know who the lady kneeling in the ancestral hall is?”

Elaine was stunned, “I heard from Darnell that she was his aunt. It seems like she was willing to be erased from the family tree just to leave Riverside. So I guess she was once a member of the James family.”

“It was true that she was once a member of the James family, but at the same time, she’s Clarence’s mother and she’s of the same seniority of your grandfather in our family. You should also call Clarence uncle.”

Elaine was lost for words.
