Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 208

Stella had stood in the balcony for an hour, supporting her face with her hands on the rail.

She watched the light snow falling in the air and getting thicker as time went by.

When Sherry finished her shower and went out of the bathroom, she found Stella was still in the same posture and looked at the same direction. Sherry came close to her and looked toward the same direction, “What’s so interesting?”

Stella collected her thoughts and smiled softly, “Nothing.”

Sherry asked, “Are you waiting for someone?”

She continued with a sigh, “What’s wrong with the wretched man? He said he’d see you tonight, but he didn’t show up. If I were you, I would be anxious too.”

Stella, “….”

She defended herself in a low voice, “I’m not thinking about that.”

Sherry doubted, “I don’t believe you.”

Stella looked forward again and took a deep breath, “Emmett told me he likes me yesterday.”

Sherry was cheered up instantly hearing the news, “What did he say? What did he say? No, no, no. You accepted or rejected him?”

Stella shook her head and said slowly, “I should give myself a chance.”

“That’s right. You should have. You shouldn’t stick to Clarence.”

“…not as what you think. I am not ready.”

“You don’t have to get ready. Love always comes in a sudden with no signs.” Sherry said, “Stella, you are thinking too much. Life is short. It is not big deal to have a few romantic relationships without commitments as long as you are happy.”

Stella pressed her lips in silence.

Sherry looked at her, “Stella, actually I know why you are hesitating.”

Stella asked unconsciously, “Why?”

“It’s because you are still in love with Clarence, right?”

Stella lowered her head but didn’t admit or deny it.

Sherry placed her hands on the rail too and sighed, “This is life. Sometimes it doesn’t go as you wished. But Stella, if the child … is alive, would you marry Clarence again?”

After a while, Stella answered, “He also asked this question.”

“What was your answer?”

Stella forced a light smile, “As you said, life doesn’t go as we wished. If everything could be redone, we wouldn’t have gotten where we are.”

“Right, if everything can start anew, I’d like to keep away from the asshole Liam Keith as far as possible.” Sherry stretched herself as she said, “But Emmett made a point. You shou give you a chance to move on.”

Stella nodded slightly, “I know.”

Sherry said, “I’d like to go to bed now. You’d better come back to your room soon in case of getting cold.”

“Ok.”

After Sherry left, Stella stood there for another few minutes and right after she closed the balcony’s door, her phone rang in her pocket.

She answered the phone and heard Clarence’s voice, “You come downstairs, or I come upstairs?”

Stella, “….”

She took her coat and came out of the house.

Downstairs, Clarence leaned against the door of his car, lowering his black eyes with a cigarette between his thin lips, looking cold and indifferent.

Stella came to him and stopped in front of him, “What I can do for you Mr. Conrad?”

Clarence looked up slowly, took off the cigarette and stared at her with his calm black eyes, “Why didn’t you tell me what happened today?”

“Mr. Conrad is referring to .…” Stella realized what was he asking as soon as she uttered, “It’s my own business. I don’t think I have to report to Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence showed no expression on his face and said flatly, “If I didn’t show up there, what were you going to do?”
