Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 473

Stella had been sleeping since yesterday afternoon. So, she woke up the next day at the dusk of dawn.

She stretched and looked at the man sleeping beside her. She breathed softly, trying not to wake Clarence up.

Clarence looked lovely when he was asleep.

Stella stared at Clarence for a little while. Then, she slowly opened her blanket and tried to get out of the bed. Suddenly, her hand was grasped.

Clarence’s asked in a tired and coarse voice, “Where are you going?”

“I…need to use the bathroom,” Stella whispered, “You’re awake? It’s still early. You can go back to sleep.”

Clarence closed his eyes and gave Stella a reaction, but he didn’t let go of her.

Stella bent down and approached Clarence, “Clarence?”

Clarence didn’t answer Stella.

Stella said, “I really need to use the bathroom. I won’t run away.”

Then, Clarence slowly let go her Stella.

Stella got off the bed and gave Clarence her blanket. Then, she headed to the bathroom.

After she got out of the bathroom, she couldn’t fell asleep again. So, she stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside.

It was dawn, and people starting to appear on the street.

It was almost summer, but mist filled the morning air. Stella was guessing it would probably be cold outside.

Stella stood beside the window for a few more minutes. Then, she walked to the bed and whispered, “Clarence?”

She paused and continued, “I’m going down for a walk. I’ll come back in less than thirty minutes. Go back to sleep.”

Then, Stella took a jacket and headed out of the ward.

Stella didn’t expect to see the person who sat on the chair in the corridor when she stepped out of the room.

Stella was surprised, “Channing, why are you here?”

Channing looked dull. It was probably because he didn’t sleep the whole night. Channing stood up and asked, “You’re feeling better?”

“I’m fine. Much better, in fact,” Stella looked at Channing and frowned, “You were here the whole night?”

Channing didn’t answer Stella’s question. He said, “Since you’re alright, then I should be going.”

Channing turned around. Stella said, “Wait up.”

Stella turned around and looked at the ward. Then, she pulled Channing and headed to the hospital entrance.

There weren’t many people in the garden of the hospital. It was quiet.

Stella let go of Channing, “I know what you’re thinking right now. Let me tell you. Don’t ever think about it. You’re my brother. That’s it. You’re unrelated to anybody else. Do you understand me?”

Channing put up and mocking smile.

Stella pouted, “Channing, it was Jeffrey who did all the bad things. You’re not him. Do you understand me?”

Channing replied to Stella after a while, “That’s not possible.”

Stella didn’t quite understand what he meant, “What?”

“That’s not possible,” Channing stared at Stella with his dull eyes, “I’m Jeffrey’s son, and his blood is running in my veins. I will never be able to get rid of him my whole life.”

“Channing…”

“Don’t say further. I understand.”

Stella continued consoling Channing, “What did you understand? You would be here at all if you truly understood. Channing, we can’t choose who our parents are, but the future is in our hands. You’re not Jeffrey, and you’re not going to take after his evil deeds. You’re my brother, and I’m proud of you. You should know that we’re the closest person in the world to each other.”

Stella continued before Channing got a chance to say anything, “I don’t care what Jeffrey told you yesterday. You have to go back to school. Did you forget that you promised to take care of me? How can a gentleman eat his words? I’m still waiting for you to fulfil your promise.”

Channing lowered his head and remained silent.

Stella patted his shoulder, “Alright, you should go back to school now.”

Channing replied, “Alright.”

After Stella saw Channing off, she planned to walk around in the garden. Suddenly, she saw a man standing nearby.

Stella walked over, “When did you come down?”
