Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 139

It would take Stella around ten minutes from the garden to the main house.

Phoebe added, “I’m quite busy recently, so I couldn’t make time to visit you, Ms. Radomil. Do you like staying here?”

Stella smiled faintly, “Not bad.”

She could still eat, drink, and sleep.

Phoebe looked at Stella’s belly and said, “I haven’t seen you for a few days, but your belly grew so big now. You’ll give birth pretty soon, won’t you?”

Stella didn’t tell her about the exact date, and she only nodded.

Actually, Stella couldn’t quite tell how she felt about Phoebe.

She only knew that no woman in this world would not mind her fiance’s ex-wife and be so considerate and caring.

Phoebe was truly a gentlewoman from a rich family. She was graceful and well-educated. She was not so arrogant and rude as Annie. However, for her care and consideration, Stella always felt quite uneasy.

Firstly, Stella believed that her relationship with Phoebe was quite awkward. Secondly, Stella was quite certain that Phoebe had her plan to treat her so well.

How could one person treat the other very kindly for no reason? Besides, they didn’t meet each other for a long time. Stella even didn’t think they were friends yet.

The most important was that Clarence was between them.

However, Stella thought probably she herself was quite narrow-minded and thought Phoebe evilly. If she were Phoebe, she wouldn’t have done such things.

Arriving at the door of her bedroom, Stella said, “Miss Steward, thank you.”

Phoebe said with a smile, “You are welcome.”

After a pause, she added, “By the way, I will go shopping with Annie this afternoon. Ms. Radomil, would you like to join us?”

“No, thanks. As long as Annie meets me, we’ll get into a fight.”

“I’ve forgotten about it...” Phoebe added, “I just think that you’ve been staying in this house for so many days, so having a walking outside should be good for you. Ms. Radomil, please rest assured. As long as I’m here, Annie wouldn’t trouble you. You can think about it. We won’t leave until the afternoon.”

Stella smiled politely. After nodding at Phoebe, she walked to her room and locked the door.

Phoebe turned away. Before she took a few steps, Annie showed up from the corner. Unhappiness was written all over her face, “Phoebe, why did you invite her? I don’t like her.”

Phoebe said, “Annie, no matter what, Ms. Radomil is Clarence’s ex-wife. You can’t insult her.”

Annie smiled disdainfully, “She’s just his ex-wife. If she didn’t pregnant with this child, does she still think that she could enter our Conrads’ Mansion? Besides, Clarence is getting married to you soon. She should get out as soon as possible.”

Since Clarence was in the garden now, Annie had been suppressing her anger for so many days. Right then, she blurted them out without any restrain. She was afraid that Stella couldn’t hear her, so she raised her voice deliberately.

Phoebe looked a bit helpless, “Annie, please...”

Stella was sitting in her room. She pulled out the earplugs and started listening to the music, isolating herself from the outside.

No matter what Phoebe aimed to do by approaching her, Stella believed that she was leaving soon. She should be safe and sound for the rest few days and not let anything unexpected happen.

During lunch, because of Phoebe’s existence, the atmosphere at the dining table was quite weird.

However, except for Stella, all of them didn’t feel anything. Stella felt quite uneasy.

Joanna ignored him and added, “It’s so rare for us whole family to sit down and have a meal. Since Phoebe is here, how about we take the chance and made a decision. This is the first time that Phoebe gets married. The wedding should be well prepared.”

“As for the baby.” As she spoke, Joanna cast a glance at Stella, who was silent in the corner, “They divorced long ago. There should be no conflicts between the two.”

Clarence didn’t answer, looking extremely cold.

Phoebe chimed in to meddle, “Aunt Joanna, thank you so much. But what Uncle Dempsey said was right. Since Clarence and I are surely getting married, it’s alright no matter when the wedding will be held.”

Joanna continued, “It matters, Phoebe. It could show how much a man loves you.”

The whole dining table fell into silence again.

Even Stella didn’t raise her head, she still could feel the intentional and unintentional gazes at her when they were talking.

She even thought that she should hide under the table. Hence, the show would be more wonderful.

In that case, they wouldn’t need to imply something because of her existence. They could talk directly.

Probably this lunch with evil intentions was aimed at her purposely.

They kept reminding her how much they disdained and disgusted her marriage with Clarence every second, just like how much they disliked her.

When all of them thought that Clarence wouldn’t answer. He said indifferently, “There are no conflicts indeed.”

He said, “It doesn’t matter if it’s held earlier or later. But I always like things to happen in advance.”

His implication was quite obvious - he had agreed to hold the wedding as soon as possible.
