Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 176

After hanging up the phone, Stella exhaled and went back to the living room.

Sherry asked, “How did it go? What did the wretched man say?”

Stella nestled on the sofa and said in depression, “He asked me to be his date and attend an event with him this weekend.”

“But don’t you have...”

“That’s why I said no.”

Sherry thought for a moment and approached her, “Stella, have you noticed that Clarence Conrad is quite abnormal recently?”

Stella sneered, “He’s not only abnormal but also he wanted to torture me more.”

“Do you think he’s torturing you?”

Stella looked quite exhausted. She answered in a weak tone, “Or what?”

Sherry concluded, “Don’t you think what he has done recently was like an elementary school student who doesn’t know how to express his love? He always tries silly ways to attract the attention of the girl he has a crush on.”

Stella choked up.

After a moment of silence, she raised her hand and covered Sherry’s forehead. Then she covered her own with the other hand. Frowning, she said, “You are not on fever.”

“Come on.” Sherry pulled her hand away, “I’m serious. Hasn’t the wretched man admitted that he likes you before? I believe this is quite possible.”

Stella nestled back on the sofa again. She said in a flat tone, “For a man like him, nothing is different if he truly likes me. It could be ignored and has no actual meaning at all.”

Sherry sighed. Her words did make sense.

After a while, Sherry took the garbage sacks and went out to toss them.

In five minutes, she ran back excitedly, “Stella! Oh, my gosh! Stella!”

Stella asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Remember the mixed-raced handsome guy we saw the other night? I saw him again just now. Guess what? He’s our new neighbor next door.”

“He has been moved in for a few days already. It’s time to say hi,” Sherry said while trotting towards the bathroom, “Wait! I need to have my hair washed. I’ll put on the makeup. I must be decent to meet him.”

Seeing that, Stella smiled, “I bought a cake this afternoon and it’s in the fridge. Take it along with you.”

“Love you, Stella!”

Bothered by the call with Clarence just now, Stella was not in the mood to continue drawing her draft. She changed her outfit, ready to go downstairs for jogging.

When she went out, she said to Sherry, “Sherry, I’m going out. Do you need anything?”

“Some midnight snacks probably. I didn’t have enough for dinner.”

“Okay.”

Upon hearing that the door was closed, Sherry checked the time - it was almost half-past nine. She sped up washing her hair.

If she went over too late, she might interrupt the man from going to bed.

After dried her hair, Sherry put on delicate makeup and found her best-looking dress. She fetched the cake from the fridge and knocked on the neighbor’s door.

In about two minutes, the door was finally opened.

Sherry put on a proper smile, “Hello, sir. Nice to meet you. I’m...”

The man cast a glance at the cake in her hand, reaching out to close the door, “No, thanks.”

Sherry immediately reached out to stop the door from being close. Retaining a smile, she said, “Sir, I’m your neighbor next door. I heard that you’ve just moved in, so I came to say hi.”

The man released the doorknob, “I’m sorry.”

Sherry straightened her dress and kept a decent image in his presence, “It’s alright. This cake is a gift for you.”

“I don’t have a sweet tooth. Thank you, though.”

“OK.” Sherry could only withdraw her hand. She said, “By the way, I’m Sherry Perry. I shared the apartment with my friend. How may I address you, please?”
