Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 177

Downstairs of the apartment, Emmett was answering a phone call while standing beside his car.

After a while, Sherry’s voice was heard behind her back, “Hi, Emmett.”

He said to the person on the other of the line in a low voice, “Okay, I got to go.”

Emmett put away his cell phone and turned around. When seeing Stella, his gaze slightly paused.

Noticing that, Sherry raised her eyebrows. Finally, her goal was achieved.

Stella smiled apologetically at him, “I’m sorry for keeping you wait.”

Upon hearing it, Emmett returned to his senses, “Nothing... I’ve just arrived not long ago...”

Sherry held back her laughter and said, “Okay. Let’s go. The concert is about to start.”

Emmett nodded, “Okay. Please get in the car.”

On the way to the concert, Sherry kept activating the atmosphere by talking with Emmett. Stella pressed the window down a bit, enjoying the fresh air outside.

It was a nice day today. The sun was shining. Different from the previous days when the temperature dropped, it was warmer.

Seeing that Stella focused on something else, Sherry approached Emmett and whispered, “Emmett, may I ask you a question, please?”

Emmett answered, “Of course. Go ahead, please?”

Sherry asked, “Have you had a girlfriend in the past few years?”

Emmett probably didn’t expect that she would ask him such a question. After being startled for a moment, he answered, “No, I haven’t.”

“Why not?”

In the rearview mirror, Emmett cast a glance at the girl who was lying prone beside the window. He smiled faintly, “I haven’t met a suitable one, I guess.”

Sherry asked with implication, “Is it because you haven’t met a suitable one or you have already had a crush on someone?”

Emmett didn’t answer this time. He didn’t know how to answer such a question.

In fact, he had a crush on Stella since they were in college. However, all of them said Horace and she was a perfect match, and they loved each other. Emmett always thought that they would get married.

Hence, he had never imagined proposing to Stella. However, unexpectedly, he heard that Horace engaged Annie.

During the past few years, he didn’t have any news about Stella.

The reason that he attended the classmate reunion because he wanted to meet her again.

Seeing that he was silent, Sherry confirmed her guess. She encouraged him, “Emmett, if you like someone, you should grasp the chance and make the step forward bravely.”

After a hesitation, Emmett said, “But I don’t know if she has a crush on me.”

He was afraid that once he confessed his love to her, they might probably not be able to remain friends.

Sherry said, “Anyway, she doesn’t have a boyfriend. Just try it.”

Emmett was speechless.

He looked back at Sherry in confusion.

Probably he didn’t expect that she would have figured it out.

Sherry raised her chin at him and cast a secret glance at Stella. Then she whispered to him in a voice that only they both could hear, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you.”

Emmett thought for a while and nodded in agreement, “Okay. Thanks.”

There was a traffic jam on the way. When they arrived at the concert hall, it was already dark outside.

Seeing so many people, Sherry exclaimed, “Emmett, is your friend quite famous?”

Emmett answered with a smile, “Yes, he is. He has won several internal music prizes.”

When Emmett was parking his car, Sherry poked Stella with her elbow, “Stella, have you heard my conversation with Emmett just now in the car?”

Stella was puzzled, “What? What did you guys talk about?”

In the car, she had been lost in thought, so she didn’t hear what they talked about.

With a mysterious smile, Sherry said, “Nothing.”

She hesitated without moving.

It was so hard for her to finally make the two enjoy the music concert and sit together. It was a good chance for them to progress their relationship.

If Clarence made trouble, all her effort would be...

Clarence pressed his thin lips, warnings increasing in his eyes.

Sherry instantly felt a chill rising from her back. Immediately, she stood up and exchanged the seat with him.

She inwardly comforted herself - she could have more chances to matchmake them, but she only had only one life.

Stella had been staring at the stage. She hadn’t noticed what was going on next to her.

Suddenly, she felt that someone gripped her right hand.

Stella was taken aback for a moment. Sherry sometimes would pull her hands or took her arm.

However, she felt too intimate right now.

It didn’t seem to be done by Sherry.

When Stella felt weird, the fingers of the hand has slotted between her fingers, clenching her palm slightly.

Stella turned around, only to find a different person was sitting next to her.

She choked up.

The man met her eyes, raising his eyebrows.

He looked as if he was challenging her.

She suppressed the fury that surged in her heart, trying to pull out her hand. However, the wretched man didn’t seem to grip her tightly, but she couldn’t break free at all.

Probably she moved too violently, Emmett looked over at her, “Stella, anything wrong?”

Stella immediately turned around and hid the hand that Clarence was holding behind her back. She put on an awkward smile, “Nothing. I just don’t feel very well. Let’s keep watching.”
