Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 271

The Carter’s.

After clearing up all the flowers, Emmett’s father sat on the sofa and asked in a sinking voice, “What on earth is going on?”

Emmett’s mother patted him on the shoulder with a frown, “Don’t be so serious. Talk nice.”

Emmett stood there. After a long while, he said, “Dad, Mom, I lied to you.”

“Lied? Emmett, make it clear.”

“Stella isn’t my girlfriend, but I like her, so I asked her to do me a favor to come to visit you.”

However, he had to admit that he had a special intention behind what he did.

Originally, he thought that as long as Stella agreed to visit his parents, he meant different in her heart anyway.

After that, he could use this as an excuse to make her continue being his girlfriend.

He had never expected that his plan was ruined by Clarence.

Emmett’s father snapped, “Look what you’ve done!”

After a while, Emmett’s mother said, “Is it her boyfriend who sent the flowers here?”

Emmett shook his head, “It’s her ex-husband. They’ve divorced. He kept pestering Stella. She hasn’t agreed yet.”

Emmett’s father looked a bit annoyed, “Why didn’t you tell us earlier that she divorced?”

“I didn’t think it’s necessary.”

“Unnecessary? You’ve taken her home already. Shouldn’t you tell your mother and me about her basic information? Now her ex-husband came here. Do you know what this is? You actively let him slip in your face!”

Emmett’s mother meddled in, “Enough. Enough. Just stop it. Stella is a good girl. I like her. Since her ex-husband changed his mind to chase after her again, it means this girl is indeed a good one. If she could marry into our Carter family, it’s our fortune. But you can only let nature take its course on things like love.”

As she spoke, she looked over at her son, “Emmett, you’d better know who on earth that girl likes. If she likes her ex-husband, don’t get in between. If she likes you, that would be wonderful.”

Emmett pressed his thin lips and didn’t speak.

His mother said, “I’m going to clean the kitchen. Stop quarreling. It’s still New Year. Don’t get into a fight.”

After she left, Emmett’s father stood up, “Come with me to the study.”

In the study, Emmett’s father said, “Have you heard what your mother said just now?”

Emmett nodded.

His father continued, “I believe you know more clearly than others who that girl likes. Otherwise, she would have come here today as your girlfriend instead of faking your girlfriend.”

Emmett frowned. He understood what his father meant, “Dad, you don’t know what’s going on...”

“You are right. I don’t know, but I don’t want to know either,” said his father, “Since she doesn’t like you at all, you shouldn’t waste much time on her.”

“But I like her a lot.”

“So what? Do you think you are still a teenager? You have more important things to do than falling in love.”

Upon hearing it, Emmett fell into the silence.

His father added, “All right. That’s what I want to talk to you about. Think it over yourself.”

After Emmett arrived in his bedroom, he heard the cell phone vibrate.

It was a message from Stella. She informed him that she had arrived home.

Subconsciously, Emmett wanted to call her back. Staring at her phone number, he hesitated.

Stella liked Clarence, which was seen clearly by his parents.

Until now, Emmett realized that he was the only one who was hooked by his own lies. He just expected that one day she would tell him a different answer.
