Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 345

When they arrived in the suburbia, they chose a place next to a brook. Some of them started to set up tents, and some set up the grills.

Only Clarence and ‘Little Rabbit’ were sitting in the folding chairs aside. One was calm and easy, and the other one widened his eyes, looking around to enjoy the view.

Stella walked over and squatted down next to Clarence. She said crossly, “Mr. Conrad, are you here inspecting?”

Clarence looked at her and answered calmly, “If you could tell me earlier, I would take Nathan here.”

Stella was speechless.

What a shameless man!

Clarence added, “Besides, I am doing something.”

Stella was confused, “What have you done?”

Clarence turned to glance at the boy, who was stilling upright, “If I don’t take care of him, what if he ran away and got lost? How will you explain to his mother in that case?”

“Ho ho.”

Stella wasn’t in the mood to talk to him. She took out a cup of yogurt from her snack bag and gave it to ‘Little Rabbit’. Rubbing his head, she said, “Boy, just sit here and be a good boy. Don’t run around. Probably there would be a lot of bad eggs around here.”

Next to them, Clarence slightly snorted. He disdained how she tried to scare the boy.

‘Little Rabbit’ held the yogurt in his hands and nodded solemnly, “I won’t run around and neither will I make trouble to you.”

Stella smiled. She stood up and said, “Good boy. You can play with this... uncle here. I’ll call you over if the barbecue is ready.”

Clarence asked unhappily, “Why are you treating us so differently?”

Stella gritted her teeth, “Just shut up, Uncle!”

Clarence was speechless.

After Stella was gone, ‘Little Rabbit’ turned to look at Clarence, passing the yogurt in his hands to him. Clarence said indifferently, “It’s for you. I won’t drink it.”

“I know. Uncle, please open it for me.”

Clarence sneered, “You are so old now. Why can’t you open the yogurt?”

‘Little Rabbit’ answered in a serious tone, “Uncle, when you got off the car, you snatched the candies from Stella’s mouth. I’ve seen it.”

Clarence’s temples popped. He looked at the boy expressionlessly, and his eyes were fierce and cold.

‘Little Rabbit’ wasn’t afraid of him at all, “Uncle, if you don’t open it for me. I’m going to find Stella...”

Before he finished speaking, his hands were empty. Clarence opened the lid and returned the yogurt to him.

“Thank you, Uncle.”

After that, ‘Little Rabbit’ raised his head and drank the yogurt in silence.

Clarence said, “Brat, you came out alone. Aren’t your family worried?”

‘Little Rabbit’ finished drinking the yogurt and corrected him, “I’m already ten years old. I’m not a brat. Uncle, when you were young, didn’t you ever go out with your friends before? Did your family forbid you to go out?”

Clarence was rendered speechless again.

On the other side, Sherry secretly checked on what was going on with them while adding the carbon to the grills, “I didn’t expect that brat and Mr. Conrad could enjoy chatting so much. Have they thought each other a bosom friend?”

Stella raised her eyebrows and smiled, “You called him a handsome young man before. Now you called him a brat.”

“Jesus... Stella, I was wrong. Please don’t mention my dark history.” Sherry felt so exhausted, “As soon as it ends, I’ll send him home. I won’t believe anyone known online anymore. What a little liar!”

Stella said, “Is there any misunderstanding? He’s quite cute and polite. Did you just imagined too much?”

Sherry stubbornly retorted, “How could it be possible? He sent me photos of his abs. I couldn’t imagine them, could I? I don’t want to fall in love anymore in my life. I’ve encountered all kinds of scumbags - scumbags who cheated on me, who kept a girlfriend pool, and this one as well... He’s so young but he didn’t behave himself at all. He learned to be a scumbag. I don’t think I have the luck to fall in love. I’d better become a nun.”

Stella patted her on the shoulder with a smile for comfort, “No worries. After the design contest, you can go take a leave and travel. As long as you can join the activities in real life, you would meet your Mr. Right.”
