Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 219

In the early morning of Saturday, Sherry dragged Stella out of the quilt and asked Stella to make up well.

Stella was sitting in front of the window. The sunshine was so dazzling that she could hardly open her eyes.

Sherry said, “It’s such a beautiful day today! Quite suitable for dating. I’ll also dress up and go out for fun.”

Stella yawned. “It’s so early now. Where are you going?”

“All schools are on winter vacation now. I’ll go around the colleges nearby and see if there’s any college student who needs a helping hand to carry his suitcase. If I could meet one, that would be perfect. It’s a rare chance.”

Stella lost her tongue in amusement.

After she straightened herself up, Emmett called.

Sherry walked her downstairs. On the way back to their apartment for sleeping in, she encountered Daniel, who just finished jogging, while waiting for the elevator.

They greeted each other and fell into the silence.

When the elevator went up, the atmosphere in the narrow space became more and more embarrassing.

Daniel coughed and found a topic at random. “Emmett said Ms. Radomil has gone to the annual party of Star Ferry Technology.”

Sherry nodded. “Yeah. I just walked her downstairs.”

Then they were quiet again.

As soon as the elevator door was opened, Sherry strode out immediately. When she opened the door of her apartment, Daniel said behind her back, “I’m quite sorry for the thing that happened last time. If you have time, I want to treat you for a dinner tonight.”

After a pause, Sherry curled up her lips into a smile. She looked back and pretended to be quite calm when saying, “Only the two of us? I don’t think...” She didn’t think it was proper.

“As well as Ms. Radomil’s younger brother.”

Sherry coughed a bit. “That’s much better. All right.”

Daniel nodded slightly. “Okay. See you this evening.”

...

In the car.

Emmett noticed that Stella had been staring out of the window, lost in thought. Her eyes were dull as if she was still sleepy.

With a smile, he said, “Stella, you can take a nap. It’ll take us two hours to arrive there. I’ll wake you up when we got there.”

Upon hearing it, Stella returned to her senses. She patted her cheeks, trying to sober up. “No, thanks. I’m not that sleepy. I’ll be fine soon.”

Only Emmett and she were in the car, so she felt ashamed if she took a nap and let him drive such a long way alone. It was too inappropriate.

Emmett suggested, “How about we have a chat?”

Stella yawned. “Why not?”

After a thought, Emmett said, “Stella, I’ve never heard you talking about your family. May I know more about your family, please?”

Stella didn’t expect that he would chat with her about this subject. After a pause, she answered, “Sure. My younger brother and I are the only two left in our family. You’ve met my brother last time.”

“I met him before last time.”

“Did you? When?”

Emmett said, “In the past, he occasionally went to the university to find you. I met him from afar. At that time, you have another man beside you.”

Stella smiled faintly, looking out of the window again. “It turns out so many years have passed.”

After two hours, their car was stopped in the resort.

All employees of Star Ferry Technology were taking a bus, so they would arrive here later. They were still on the way right now.

After parking the car, Emmett asked, “Stella, would you like to have a rest in the room or go around here?”

Stella answered, “Let’s have a walk around here. The air here is quite fresh.”

The suburbia’s air was indeed fresher than it was in the city. There were also no honks from the vehicles. Stella could only hear the sound of the breeze.
