Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 348

William poured Clarence a glass of water and sat down opposite him. “Why did Aaron come back with you?”

Clarence crossed his legs and tapped lightly on the sofa with his fingers. “Perhaps you should ask him.”

William turned and looked at the little kid that leaned on the door frame with his head poked out, he quickly hid and closed the door noticing William.

“If Aaron did something that offended Mr. Conrad, I’ll apologize on behalf of him, he…” He said gently.

“Apology is not needed.” Clarence said coldly, “He went to Stella.”

William was shocked hearing that, he didn’t expect that to happen and his face turned serious, sunken into thoughts.

Clarence continued, “Keeping this kid beside is like a bomb, he went to Stella today and could go to Charles tomorrow. Do you think it will be alright if Stella is dragged into this?”

William bit his lips, “Don’t worry Mr. Conrad, I’ll make sure that what happened will not repeat.”

“I don’t need your promise, I just want to remind you that one minor mistake could cause serious consequences, I guess you understand this more than I do.”

“Noted, Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence rose from his seat but sat down again as he recalled something. “I have a question.”

“Please ask,” William said.

“You came back to City N after so long and there should be no friends or families here, but I think you might be familiar with a name.”

William didn’t reply, he took a sip of his water, waited for him to continue.

“Are you familiar with the name Jeffrey Radomil?” Clarence continued.

“Who is that?”

Clarence was calm but his smile turned deeper, “He is nothing but a scammer. Since Mr. William doesn't know him, forget that I mentioned and I guess you won’t be interested in his whereabouts too.”

William, “…”

William spoke suddenly after Clarence took a few steps, “Mr. Conrad, please don’t hesitate to ask should you need any help from me.”

“I have a business trip to Italy tomorrow; please take good care of my wife.”

Aaron came out from his room after Clarence was gone. He stared at the floor the entire time knowing he did something wrong.

“Uncle William, sorry for troubling you,” he said softly.

William knelt to his eye level and stroked his head, “It’s alright, this is not your fault. But Aaron, can you tell me why did you do that?”

Aaron bit his lips enduring his tears and said while sobbing, “I saw online that she and Charles Steward are…”

William knew what he meant despite he didn’t finish his line.

Aaron’s father died in the accident that happened at Steward’s Group. The Steward wanted to kill everyone but William rushed over and saved Aaron and his mother. Unfortunately, his mother involved in a car accident and still in a coma today.

This kid hated Steward Group to the core.

And the Steward used Stella’s return to the Steward family as a diversion of that incident. Hence, instead of trying to dig deeper into what happened, their attention was diverted into the gossip.

After some time, Aaron sobbed, “I didn’t do anything, I just wanted to have a look.”
