Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 196

As soon as Channing finished, everyone at the table showed their attitude clearly.

Stella was embarrassed again, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Clarence sitting next to her seemed to hear nothing. He acted as if nothing had happened and as if he was not the one whom they were targeting.

Looking at the scene, Stella couldn’t help scratching her own eyebrows.

He obviously knew that he was not welcomed here, but why did he come and bring this trouble to himself.

It was so annoying.

Clarence was about to take the chopsticks, but Stella abruptly took away his bowl to pour half of the oil in it away into an empty bowl, and then she said in a flat voice, “Mr. Conrad, please rough it. If you don’t like the food, then …”

“Who told you that I don’t like.”

As he finished, he reached out to get the food and then ate it without any hesitation.

Stella raised her eyebrows, and then she turned her gaze back at the table but to find the other people were all staring at her.

“…”

Noticing that she was looking at them, they coughed and looked away with some lowering their heads to eat and some holding their glasses to drink.

Stella pressed her lips slightly but didn’t explain.

Just save it. The more you say the more mistakes you’ll make. She just wanted to finish this meal as soon as possible and then say goodbye to all of them.

The room was quiet for a while, and then someone started a conversation to break the awkward and suffocating silence.

After the meal, Sherry volunteered to wash the dishes. When Emmett offered to help her, she rejected, “Daniel and I can handle it. You …”

Sherry kept saying while making him a sign to keep Stella company and keep Clarence away from Stella.

Emmett stalled as if he was considering if he should go or not.

Sherry lowered her voice, “You should take the initiative at such moments. You can’t chicken out at this key moment! Come on, come on!”

Sherry pushed Emmett while she was whispering, and then took Daniel who was watching them into the kitchen.

Daniel tried to get rid of her, “I don’t know how to do dishes …”

“You can learn it and I’ll teach you. How can you eat but not do dishes?”

In the living room, Stella was cleaning the table. Clarence was about to come to her when Channing held his arm, “Have a talk with me.”

Clarence turned around looking coldly, “What do you want to talk about?”

Soon, Clarence followed Channing to the balcony.

Emmett walked to Stella and called her in a soft voice, “Stella.”

Stella looked up and smiled at him, “What’s up?”

Emmett was in silence for a while. At the end, he didn’t ask what he really wanted to know but made up an excuse, “Are you really … allergic to flowers?”

“No, he talked nonsense.”

“I see.”

Emmett was about to continue when Winnie showed up in a sudden and apologized with a smile, “Sorry, I need to talk to Stella. Please give me a few minutes.”

Winnie finished and took Stella away.

All of a sudden Emmett was left alone in the living room.

He turned around and then gazed at the flowers nearby in an absent mood.

When they came into the bedroom, Winnie clasped her hands in front of her and apologized, “Sorry, sorry, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have taken Mr. Conrad here.”

If she had known what would happen, she would never compromise no matter how the wretched man threatened her.

Stella smiled, “I thought you were going to talk about something important. He has been acting like today recently. Even if you hadn’t taken him here, he would have figured out another way.”
