Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 299

Stella closed her eyes. Several minutes later, she felt that the place beside her sank.

At the next moment, the man lay down beside her. His body was warm.

When Stella prepared to move towards the edge of the bed, Clarence put one arm on her waist and asked in a low voice, “Why do you sleep with many clothes? You even cover yourself with the quilt. Aren’t you hot?”

“I’m not hot.” Of course it was not real.

Stella felt hot, stuffy and even breathless.

Clarence didn’t say anything again and just hugged her tightly.

After a short while, Stella heard the man’s even and stable breath.

She slightly turned her head and asked tentatively, “Mr. Conrad.”

There was still silence.

It seemed like he really had fallen asleep.

Stella heaved a sigh of relief, gingerly took away his arm and then left his arms.

Sitting on the bed, she took a glance at the sofa and then at the wretched man who was sleeping. In the end, she made a concession.

She took off her coat and then lay back onto the bed again. When she lay down, she tried her best to keep a distance with Clarence.

Stella opened her eyes widely. She was so sleepy just now, but now she became sleepless.

It was reasonable. How could she not feel nervous in the face of such a strong opponent?

Even if she managed to enter the Steward family later, Charles and Phoebe would only be more precautionary against her.

It was not that easy for her to find out the truth.

When Stella was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly felt a weight on her waist. That wretched man put his arm on her waist again.

Stella, “…”

She said angrily, “Mr. Conrad, please don’t move towards me again. I almost fall down from the bed.”

Clarence didn’t reply.

Stella continued, “I know you haven’t fallen asleep. Hurry up. Move towards the inside,”

Stella pushed Clarence.

In the darkness, Clarence slowly opened his eyes, curled his thin lips into a smile, grasped Stella’s hand and pulled her into his arms, “Sleep beside me, then you’ll not fall down from the bed. Why do you have to sleep by the edge?”

Stella thought that she could never win this wretched man on any argument. After a short while of silence, she said unhappily, “I’m sleepy. Good night.”

Clarence replied with a nasal sound. He didn’t take any unacceptable action except for hugging Stella.

After this, Stella became sleepy again and she found it was even difficult to her to open her eyes.

Originally, she prepared to sleep on her side, but Clarence pressed her onto his chest.

Hearing the man’s stable and strong heartbeats, Stella fell asleep after a short while.

Clarence landed a kiss on her forehead and said in a low voice, “Good night.”

It seemed like he hadn’t hugged her like this for a long time.

…

With the arrival of the spring, the temperature became higher and higher every day.

Time flew and the bidding came soon.

After changing her cloth, Stella dressed an elegant make-up.

When she finished the dressing, she took a glance at the clock and found it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

The bidding would start at three o’clock in the afternoon and she might arrive on time if she set off now.

Before leaving, she put the pocket watch into her bad, took a shallow breath and walked out of the house step by step.
