Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 218

In the evening, Stella received a call from Emmett.

Emmett said, “Stella, Daniel said Chan has moved into his apartment. How’s everything going with you? My friend said Winnie Truman’s PR team is dealing with that matter, trying to reduce the impact to the lowest.”

Stella answered, “Thanks, Emmett. I’m pretty well here. Nothing else happened. Chan moved in because he’s worried about me.”

For a whole day, Nathan didn’t call her to follow up on the case. It seemed that she wasn’t needed any longer.

After a while, Emmett said slowly, “Stella, do you have time this weekend? It’s our company’s annual party. We’re going to a resort nearby City N and stay there for two days and one night. I want you to go with me.”

Stella thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. “Sure.”

Emmett breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly his mood became better. “I’ll go pick you up on Saturday morning, then.”

As soon as Stella hung up the phone, Sherry approached her. She asked joyfully, “How’s it going? Did Emmett ask you out for a date?”

Upon hearing it, Channing who was next to them also looked over at Stella.

Stella was speechless.

Why did they react so dramatically?

She answered, “It’s not a date. He asked me to attend his company’s annual party with him.”

“Isn’t it a date?” Sherry said while munching the potato chips, “You’ll be his date to attend such an occasion. Besides, even you are not his girlfriend now, you have a certain relationship already. It’s just a matter of time when you two would progress.”

Stella pressed her lips and didn’t speak.

Channing withdrew his gaze on his sister and kept browsing his book. “I’m not against it.”

Sherry raised both hands to agree. “Me neither.”

“I still feel a bit dizzy. I’ll go to bed now.”

After going back to her room, Stella lay prone on the desk. Her fingers kept poking at the ornaments in front of her from time to time.

In fact, Stella had thought about what Sherry said just when she agreed to Emmett.

She was ready to restart her life, and also, she wanted to get to know more about Emmett.

That was why she still agreed to him when she knew what it means by her agreement.

Although it seemed quite difficult for her to take this step forward, no matter what, she needed a start.

Stella heaved a sigh slightly. Opening her draft book, she looked at one page for a long time. Then she tore it into pieces bit by bit, folded the paper, tore it into pieces, and tossed them in the garbage can.

She believed that should be an end.

The next day, Stella received a call from the police station.

They had found Bernice and her daughter. However, when they found them, Bernice was in a coma because of a car accident, lying in the hospital now. Her daughter said that Bernice was manipulated by someone, but she didn’t know anything else.

The girl was still a high school student, and she was forced to do such things. Hence, Stella and Channing didn’t hold her accountable.

Upon hearing the investigation result from the police, Sherry said, “I can sense there’s something wrong. How coincident she had a car accident! I don’t believe it wasn’t planned by someone.”

Stella said indifferently, “The police also looked into the car that hit Bernice Young. Everything was normal. It was just because she ran across the street, she was hit.”

“Well, on this point, it made sense. She’s a shameless and unreasonable woman. She could ignore the rules and regulations and run across the street. Probably it’s the karma.”

Channing chimed in, “I don’t think this matter would end like this. Let’s be careful in the future.”

After skipping this subject, Sherry asked again, “Stella, it’s Saturday tomorrow. Have you decided what to wear?”
