Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 297

Stella ran back to her bedroom. She took out the pocket watch from a box and then took out the document of purchase information from her back to confirm the type number again.

Stella compared the pocket watch and the information again and again and finally found out a slight difference.

The pocket watch in her hand was bought twenty years ago and as it was kept by Jeffrey before, it was seriously attire. There were several scratches on the watch.

As a matter of fact, there was an alphabet covered by a scratch. She ignored this point before.

It could be vaguely seen that the alphabet was ‘M’.

But Charles’ name had no relation to this alphabet.

Stella studied the whole document again and found that only there was an asterisk on Charles’ purchase record.

Stella pondered for a while and then made a phone call.

When the call was connected, she said, “Hello, Mr. Moore. I’m Stella Radomil. Sorry for bothering you late at night. I want to ask you a question.”

“What’s it?”

“I studied the purchase record just now and found an asterisk beside in the information of a customer, but I didn’t find it in the information of other customers. Does the asterisk have some special meaning?”

“Oh, the asterisk. It’s for our special customers. The pocket watch could be customized. But I remember that we only had few special customers.”

Stella held her breath and asked gingerly, “Then may I ask who your special customers were?”

“Generally they were the C-level managers of the factory, or… Oh, I suddenly remember that Mr. Steward customized two pocket watches in our store.”

Stella asked, “Who’s him?”

“The whole factory area belonged to Mr. Steward. Moreover, he also invested in the pocket watch factory.” The old man continued, “That’s it. Mr. Steward definitely had customized two pocket watches twenty years ago and I was responsible for serving him before. He told me that the pocket watch was a gift for his wife for their wedding anniversary and required me to inscribe his name on one pocket and his wife’s name on the other.

Stella thought that she had gotten the answer and said, “I see. Thank you, Mr. Moore.”

After ending the car, Stella fixed her eyes on the pocket watch dully and silently.

After a long while, there came a gentle knocking sound from the door. At the next moment, the door was pushed open and Sherry’s popped out her head from behind the door, “Stella, are you busy now? The food is going to cool down. Maybe you can continue with your work after eating them?”

Stella pulled herself together, put down the pocket watch and smiled, “Okay.”

When eating the food, Sherry thought that Stella was still bothered by the purchase information when seeing that she was absent-minded. She comforted her, “Stella, don’t think too much of it. Many people had bought that type of pocket watch, probably it… Oh, they recorded the customers’ phone numbers. We can try them one by one tomorrow. If it’s not connected, we can…”

Stella said, “Sherry, it doesn’t matter. Let’s stop here and we can probe into it later.”

Sherry nodded her head when she heard the words. She didn’t continue this topic and took out her phone, “Stella, I found several wonderful houses, and two of them were in a high-end community. We may pay a visit there at weekend.”

Stella replied after a short while of silence, “Sherry, I’m sorry I can go to see the houses together with you. I have to go to a place.”

Sherry curled her lips into a knowing smile, “Are you going to live together with Mr. Conrad?”

Stella shook her head with a smile, “I will tell you several days later.”

She didn’t know how to tell Sherry about it now because everything was just her assumption.

No matter what, she had to find out the truth.

Sherry said, “Okay. Tell me if you encountered any problem. Don’t bear it alone.”

“Okay.”

After finishing the meal, Sherry went back her bedroom for sleeping.
