Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 423

Ten minutes later, Clarence ended the call.

He walked up to Stella and stood beside her. Then, he took a lock of her hair with a curled finger and asked softly, “Why didn’t you dry your hair completely?”

Stella replied, “My hair is quite long so it is very troublesome to dry it completely. It will dry naturally.”

“Wait here.”

Clarence withdrew his hand, turned and entered the bathroom.

Soon, he came back with a hair dryer and stood behind her. After setting the wind speed and temperature to medium mode, he gently blew her hair, “Next time, remember to dry your hair completely. If your hair is too long, you can cut it shorter.”

Stella was at a loss for words.

She didn’t know what to say at that moment.

The sound of the working hair dryer was minimal. There was almost no extra noise.

Stella said, “Mr. Conrad.”

“Hmm?”

“Can you tell me about Aurora’s biological mother now?”

The corners of Clarence lips turned upwards, “Didn’t you say that you don’t want to know?”

Stella gritted her teeth and turned her head to glare at him.

That wretched man behaved innocently even though he got the advantage over her!

It was getting harder for Clarence to resist the temptation to laugh. Seeing that her hair was almost dry, he put the hair dryer aside, “Fine. I was teasing you.”

Stella said, “What is going on?”

Clarence sat beside her and said slowly, “After leaving the Barton family, Aurora’s biological mother married a man and had a son. Some time ago, her son was arrested for fighting and causing a commotion. Therefore, she urgently needs a large sum of money to solve this matter now.”

Before that, when Stella heard Clarence’s words in the soft drink bar, she roughly guessed that Aurora’s biological mother was aiming for money.

Clarence continued, “But she didn’t keep still all these years. After being sent away, she carried out many different plans and tried to gain more money from the Barton family. Although Mrs. Barton was mentally unstable, she handled these matters efficiently so that no further problems would arise.”

“After a few attempts, Aurora’s biological mother gave up the idea. The reason why she came to make a scene at Aurora's birthday party this time was because she learned that Mrs. Barton had passed away a few years ago.”

After she had listened to Clarence, Stella remained silent for a while and said, “Then how did she get this news?”

Clarence placed his hand on her shoulder and slowly said, “Maybe it's just a coincidence.”

Stella was unconvinced, “Is it really a coincidence?”

Clarence met her skeptical gaze and laughed silently, “This really has nothing to do with me. When Aurora was born, I had not yet entered the Conrad family. As you said, these old matters were kept well hidden. Only a few people know about this and it will not be easy to uncover the truth.”

Stella acknowledged his words and did not ask further about it.

For this matter, Clarence had absolutely no reason to hide it from her.

Since he had already said that he was not involved in this matter, he definitely did not do anything.

But if this matter was regarded as a coincidence, it was too unrealistic.

Just when Stella was lost in thought, Clarence got up.

Stella instinctively reached out and held his hand, “Where are you going?”

“I am going to take a bath.” Clarence leaned over with his other hand propped on the armrest behind her. Gazing at her, he said ambiguously in a low-pitched and husky voice, “Don't be in such a hurry, baby.”

She hurriedly let go of him, “Who…who is in a hurry. I have not finished asking.”

Clarence smiled and ruffled her hair, “Wait for me to come out. We will talk later.”

After pausing for a while, he added, “I am in a hurry.”

Stella did not reply to his words.

Just when Clarence entered the bathroom, Stella’s phone rang. It was Sherry who dialled her number.

After picking up the phone, Sherry said, “Oh my god, oh my god! This is fantastic! Tell me the whole story in detail again!”

Through the phone, Stella told her what happened tonight again in detail.
