Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 17

Stella’s movements seemed to stop for a second, but her expression was well-maintained.

“Previously I had some negotiations, and I was just bringing her along to some events.”

“Oh.”

Clarence grabbed her wrist impatiently, “I have made things clear to you, but you are still going to show me this attitude?”

Stella stared at his eyes and said seriously, “I am really grateful that you go out of your way to explain things to me, but… You don’t actually need to explain anything to me since we are going to proceed with divorce proceedings.”

“Isn’t the reason you wanted to divorce me because you thought that she was pregnant and I had cheated on you?”

In the past, he always assumed that Stella had her own motives for going after a divorce, but Nathan had suggested that she might be throwing a tantrum in this regard, and he had advised him to make her feel better.

At that time, he couldn’t think of any reason she could use to throw a tantrum.

That stayed true until the appearance of her little brother.

Seeing that Stella didn’t say a word, Clarence added, “Stella, is it so hard to trust me? I won’t let any woman to bear my child, including you. Do you understand?”

His last sentence was like a sharp needle that silently tore through Stella’s heart.

Of course, she understood that.

In the past three years of their marriage, no matter the situation, he would never forget to do every measure to evade pregnancy.

Stella understood very well that his action not only meant that he wouldn’t want a child. It was a mockery to the measure she had used back when she wanted to marry him.

After a few seconds of silence, Stella suddenly announced, “I’m pregnant now.”

Clarence’s pupils immediately contracted, and he instinctively increased the strength in his hand. His voice suddenly became chilly, which seemed to cool down the temperature in the suite, “Stella!”

“Don’t you always want to know what I am thinking? Clarence, I am pregnant, and I need to plan for the future of my baby. I want half of your inheritance, and also the stock of the Conrad Group…”

Clarence flung her away violently, “That’s enough!”

Stella knew that he wouldn’t believe her just yet, so she took out a pregnancy test result to show him.

As expected, Clarence tore the piece of paper into pieces without even so much as glancing at it, “How many times do you plan to use this reason? Stella, do you really think that I am so stupid that I would believe the same lie by you?”

Stella looked at the pieces of paper scattered on the ground and she forced a smile, “You are able to expose me in such a short time. It seems that I need to think of another way next time.”

“There is no next time anymore.”

Clarence stood up, and his voice was devoid of any feelings, “Tomorrow at nine in the morning, meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau. I hope you don’t have any excuses this time.”

Stella didn’t say anything and only until Clarence had disappeared from the suite, she slowly picked up the pieces of paper on the floor.

In her three years of marriage, it was not like she didn’t learn anything. At the very least, she understood Clarence pretty well.

She knew very well that… the pregnancy topic was always a taboo for him.

Anybody who broached the topic would be like setting off a TNT bomb.

At the door of the suite, Sherry’s heart was racing like she was an ant scurrying around on a hot frying pan. It had been ten minutes, and the manager who was standing beside her was so cautious of her as if she was a thief. The door had been guarded well, and she saw no opening to intrude into the suite.

Sherry wanted to take the opportunity to call the police at this critical timing, but suddenly the door swung open and out came Clarence. He had a chilly and emotionless face, and he was exuding a cold aura. He was leaving this place while taking huge strides.

She wasn’t the only one who couldn’t produce any words. Even the manager seemed like he had a difficult time to begin a conversation.

Not long after Clarence had gone, Stella finally emerged from the suite.

Sherry finally let out a huge sigh of relief, “Stella, what is going on? That dog… Why is Clarence inside there?”

“I’ll tell you all about it when we get home.” Stella looked at the manager and asked, “Where is my brother?”

The manager replied, “Miss Radomil, follow me.”

After creating that fiasco, Channing had been confined in a store room in the Twilight Club. However, he didn’t make a fuss out of it.
