Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 140

When Joanna was about to add something, Dempsey said unhappily, “All right. Are you done yet? Could you let us have lunch in peace?”

The dining table finally quieted down.

After lunch, when Dempsey and Joanna were gone, Stella stood up. When she was about to go to her room, Phoebe stopped her.

Phoebe stood in front of her and smiled faintly, “Ms. Radomil, what do you think about the matter I mentioned to you in the morning?”

Stella said, “Miss Steward, thanks a lot for your kindness. Please have fun. I won’t join you.”

“Ms. Radomil, are you worried that Uncle Dempsey isn’t willing to let you go with us? Or are you worried about Annie? I...”

“Miss Steward,” Stella interrupted her in an indifferent tone, “Getting married is a big event. You need to prepare a lot of things. If I go with you, your time would be wasted, Miss Steward.”

Phoebe paused, looking a bit awkward, “I’m sorry, Ms. Radomil. I didn’t mean to raise that topic at the dining table just now. It’s because...”

“Miss Steward, please. You don’t need to apologize to me. I don’t think you’ve done anything to offend me.” Before finishing her words, Stella felt quite helpless. She didn’t know how to explain. She said gently, “I just want to take a rest. I should apologize for letting you down, Miss Steward.”

After finishing her words, she nodded at Phoebe slightly as goodbye and went upstairs.

Back to her room, Stella stood in front of the window for a while. When she saw the black car out of the Conrads’ Mansion, she sat down on the edge of the bed, exhaling.

After a while, she heard faint knocks on her door.

Stella returned to her senses and adjusted her mood. Then she stood up and walked to the door.

When she opened the door, she saw Clarence standing there with both hands in his trousers pockets. With an aloof look, he gazed at the corridor.

Stella was shocked.

She closed the door without any hesitation.

When the door was about to shut, Clarence reached out and stopped it. He looked at her quite unhappily.

Stella asked patiently, “Yes? Mr. Conrad, what’s the matter?”

Clarence withdrew his hands and put them back in the pockets, “You didn’t eat much for lunch. I asked the cook to prepare two dishes. They’ll be delivered to you later.”

“I see. Thank you, Mr. Conrad.”

As she spoke, Stella was about to close the door again.

Clarence gazed at her coldly.

Stella didn’t know what he meant.

He asked, “Is that your response?”

Stella pressed her lips, “Mr. Conrad, thank you so much for your kindness. I’ll eat properly.”

She indeed hadn’t had enough for lunch, so she didn’t need to be polite and refuse it.

Clarence gazed at her with his black eyes without a blink. After a few seconds, he said, “Why do you blow up on me?”

Stella was confused.

She wondered what misled him that she was angry with him.

She inhaled deeply, “Mr. Conrad, you must have misunderstood. In my opinion, since you are getting married, you shouldn’t have shown up at the door of your ex-wife and said something nonsense. If your fiancee knew it, she would be quite upset.”

Clarence was still expressionless, “Would you be upset or would you be afraid that she’s upset?”

Stella didn’t think she could continue the conversation with him.

The wretched man truly annoyed her.

Probably Justin had also heard the shake, so he went to find Clarence later.

When Clarence opened the door, his room was full of smoke from the cigarette.

Justin operated his wheelchair and entered. With a helpless smile, he asked, “Did you fight with Stella again?”

Clarence sat on the sofa, poured some water into the ashtray, and stub out the cigarette.

Meanwhile, he said, “She’s so sharp-tongued. How can I win against her?”

“Stella has been staying here for a whole week. Although she didn’t tell me, I can feel that she’s quite lonely. After you moved back, she looked much better,” said Justin, “But you’ve done something wrong as well. Stella is pregnant. Why do you always provoke her?”

Clarence pressed his lips slightly, “I didn’t provoke her.”

He noticed that during lunch, Stella kept lowering her head and looked quite pale. Hence, he wanted to explain to her about his wedding.

However, the ungrateful woman acted as if she had eaten the gunpowder. Her attitude pissed him off.

Justin added, “No matter what, Stella should be the one in the most difficult situation now. She got your baby but you’re getting married to Phoebe. You guys discussed things about your wedding in her presence. Whoever in Stella’s shoes wouldn’t feel happy when listening to it.”

Clarence kept silent for a moment and said, “That’s what she couldn’t ignore.”

“But, Clarence,” Justin continued, “You can talk about a lot of things in a mild and roundabout way. You don’t need to talk to her in such a ruthless way.”

Clarence said, “But the fact is indeed cruel. If she thought that everything was so beautiful as she imagined, she wouldn’t know that something would be more painful than things that she had experienced.”

Justin heaved a sigh in silence, “Clarence, you’ve been too extreme when thinking about things. Actually, the reason that Dad wants to keep Stella’s baby just because he doesn’t want the later generation of the Conrad family to wander in the outworld.”

Clarence didn’t take it seriously. With a faint smile, he said, “He just wants to create another puppet, who could listen to him and be controlled by him only. However, this puppet must have the blood of the Conrad family.”

For the wealthy and rich families like the Conrad family, they look upon their blood inheritance very much. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken him in although he was an illegitimate child.
