Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 255

Clarence said, “Answer my question first.”

Stella frowned. After a few seconds, she answered, “After he died, I found something in the box under his bed.”

“What did you find?”

“A few photos, one pocket watch, and Jeffrey Radomil’s diary.”

“What kind of pocket watch is it?”

Stella answered, “An ordinary one. Would there be any difference?”

Clarence said, “Of course. The producer and production series number are all useful flaws.”

Upon hearing it, Stella parted her lips, but she didn’t utter any word.

Clarence stared at her for a few seconds, pressing his thin lips slightly, “Don’t you want to find him?”

After a moment, Stella lowered her head and said, “I just don’t think it makes any sense.”

“Stella, it’s not the problem if it makes any sense. You should know the truth in the past.”

“What’s the use to know the truth? I just want to lead a peaceful life.”

Since she could remember anything, this had become her biggest wish.

In the fast, because of Jeffrey Radomil, her family was a mess. From time to time, the debtors would come to their house, yelling outside the door. All she could do was to lock the door and hold Chan tightly, not afraid to utter any sound.

Later, she met Clarence, making her messy life more difficult.

The man in the photo was a stranger to her completely. She didn’t remember her. She’d rather lead a peaceful life than finding out why her mother married Jeffrey with her over twenty years ago.

Clarence said, “It’s not the excuse for you to skip. Sometimes, the truth might be crueler than the reality, but I’ll always be with you.”

Stella was a bit startled, wondering why the wretched man changed the subject so suddenly.

Clarence continued, “Even if you don’t care what the truth is, a series of things have happened because of it. You are one of the people involved. How can you only care about yourself?”

“Mr. Conrad, I don’t know what you meant.”

“Have you met Charles Steward tonight?”

Stella didn’t understand why he suddenly mentioned Phoebe’s father. She thought for a moment and said, “Yes, I have.”

Clarence said, “Have you ever thought why there’s no news after your brother had posted the notice in a missing-persons column for such a long time?”

Stella frowned, more confused.

Back then, when Channing was doing it, she hadn’t expected to get any feedback.

However, since Clarence mentioned it now, she sensed something weird.

After a thought, she didn’t answer. Instead, she asked, “Mr. Conrad, you haven’t answered me how you knew it.”

Clarence knocked on his knee with his slender fingers, “Haven’t I told you before? There’s nothing you can’t do without money.”

“Mr. Conrad, I don’t have anything to talk to you then. Bye.”

Stella just stood up, Clarence pulled her hand and chuckled, “All right. I’ll stop teasing. I found it when looking into Charles Steward’s matters.”

Looking at her confused face, Clarence continued, “Probably the truth means nothing to you, but you must know what has happened in the past, so you can be well prepared for the unknown things.”

“Mr. Conrad, in human language, please.”
