Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 777

As soon as she spoke, a weird silence blanketed the table.

Brandon looked annoyed, and his face stiffened.

The woman cast a glance at Sherry in provocation and turned away.

After she was gone, Brandon said, “Sherry...”

Sherry smiled. “Your friend?”

Brandon picked up his water and took a sip to ease his nervousness and embarrassment.

He explained, “I can explain. I delivered something to her house yesterday and unintentionally left my pen there. Nothing happened between us.”

Sherry picked up her chopsticks and said, “It’s alright. I understand. Go on eating.”

Brandon’s lips parted. He still wanted to speak but noticed that Sherry didn’t have any interest in listening to him. Hence, he kept silent.

They didn’t talk during dinner.

After dinner, Brandon's phone rang as soon as they walked out of the restaurant.

He checked the caller ID, frowning deeply. Then he pressed the phone into his pocket.

He said, “Sherry, let me drive you home.”

As soon as he finished his words, the woman showed up not far away from them. She was holding her phone to make a call.

Brandon’s phone kept vibrating.

Sherry took a look at the woman. “It seems you're still quite busy. I won’t hold you up for long. Bye.”

“Sherry.”

Brandon grabbed her arm after Sherry took a step.

He said, “I’m sorry for what happened today. I...”

Sherry looked back, seeing that he wanted to say something but hesitated. She answered, “No worries. I won’t tell your parents about this matter.”

Brandon breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing it. He let go of her. “I’ll deal with it and explain it to you later.”

Sherry smiled and waved him goodbye. Then she hailed a cab to leave.

In the car, she saw Brandon walk to that woman, who had a complacent smile on her face.

Sherry exhaled and withdrew her gaze.

She knew Brandon was still in touch with his ex-girlfriend.

However, her own relationship was also a mess, just like him. They dated to please their parents.

Hence, she didn’t mind it at all.

However, she could tell it was Brandon’s ex-girlfriend wanting to come to the restaurant for dinner. To memorize their past love or make up for his regret, he brought Sherry here.

That went a bit too far.

Sherry could accept to date him to get to know him more.

However, she couldn’t accept that she would be treated as a substitute.

She felt offended.

Back home, to vent her anger, Sherry bought a lot of barbecue skewers from a food stall downstairs.

She wanted to share the food and beers with Stella. Before knocking on Stella’s door, she recalled Clarence’s ice-berg face, so she decided not to disturb them.

However, after eating them all and drinking the beer, she had tummy trouble. At midnight, she suffered from diarrhea and vomiting.

In order not to delay the filming the following day, Sherry tried her best to get up and hailed a cab to the hospital.

Sherry felt relaxed. She looked up at the drip bottle, tolerated the colic pain, and closed her eyes for a nap.

Shortly after, the medicine took effect.

Sherry felt much better.

She estimated the time and set up the alarms on her cell phone to wake her up every half an hour. Then she closed her eyes again.

Gradually, she fell asleep.

In a daze, she felt someone sit down next to her.

She was covered with something.

Sherry scratched her cheek and tilted her head.

A hand supported her head and moved her gently.

The next second, she leaned against a man’s broad shoulder.

Probably, she had been troubled for almost the whole night. Sherry slept quite soundly. She was woken up by the nurse.

She opened her eyes and looked around blankly. The nurse said, “The infusion is done. If you are feeling well, you can go home now.”

Sherry returned to her senses and yawned. “Thanks.”

The nurse said, “You are welcome. Make sure to have some light dishes in the following days. Don’t eat spicy or greasy food. Don’t drink alcohol. These are the pills to take. If your tummy hurts, just take a pill.”

Sherry nodded. “Okay. I will.”

She walked out of the hospital, looking at the rising sun. She stretched and felt her neck was sore.

After taking a few steps, she realized that her alarms didn’t ring at all.

Sherry pulled out her phone and checked on the alarms, feeling so confused when seeing them all be turned off.
