Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 477

Sherry was by Stella’s side until Clarence showed up at her ward, then she slipped away.

Stella sat on the side of the bed, looked at him with eyes devoid of any energy and said, “Get me out of here.”

Clarence adjusted his necktie, sat on the sofa and said, “Aren’t you supposed to stay here for half a month?”

Stella wanted to say something to object him, but she felt that it would fall on deaf ears. However, she recalled her conversation with Sherry this afternoon. An idea formed in her head, as she licked her lips naughtily and lied back on the bed, “Fine then. I’ll stay here for half a month. Horace’s coming back here anyway, I can chat with him in the meantime.”

Clarence was confused, “Hmm?”

The news of Mr. Jason’s hospitalization did not reach his ears until this afternoon as the Jason family had been very secretive regarding the news, it was not something the general public could know. It was likely that they were waiting for Horace to return and sort things out at the Jason Group.

Clarence replied, “Who told you that?”

“I met Rebecca downstairs in the afternoon; she was the one who told me.”

“They’re in this hospital?”

“Yeah, fate brought us together, don’t you think?”

Clarence chuckled as he stood up to leave the ward.

Stella looked at him and said, “Where are you going?”

“Didn’t you say that you want to get out of here? I’ll go and do the procedures that will get you out of here.”

He said as he walked out of the ward.

Stella looked at him as he left, smirked and thought to herself, “Heh, that conversation was useful after all.”

On their way back, Stella asked, “Is my phone with you?”

Clarence said with a straight face, “Is it with me?”

Stella was taken aback by him.

This wretched man’s childishness knew no bounds.

Dissatisfied, she demanded, “Give me back my phone, I have things to do.”

“What things?”

“A whole bunch of things, I haven’t touched my phone since yesterday, who knows if someone looked for me in the meantime?”

Clarence replied, “No one looked for you.”

Stella said in a slightly darker tone, “You looked through my phone?”

“Are there things that I’m not allowed to see?”

“...Not really, but based on the trust between us two, shouldn’t you at least tell me before you looked through my phone?”

Still emotionless, Clarence replied, “Did you ever trust me?”

Stella pouted, this wretched man really liked to pick on little things, huh. He really was the best at this field among all the people that she knew.

Before Stella could respond, Clarence added, “You want your phone back? Fine.”

Stella’s ears perked up, “Hmm?”

“I have but one condition. Don’t go to the workshop in the coming days, just stay at home and rest up.” Then, Clarence followed up with, “Alternatively, you can come with me to my office.”

As soon as Stella heard Clarence’s follow up offer, she instinctively said, “I’ll stay at home!”

Hearing that, Clarence put on a wicked smile.

It was at this moment Stella knew, she fell right into his trap.

Clarence added, “If you’re afraid that you’ll feel lonely, I can work at home to accompany you.”

Stella was rendered speechless by him.

Not amused, she said, “I appreciate your kindness, but no thank you.”

“I’ll have Alisa come over these few days to cook for you. You can go anywhere you want, but someone must be with you at all times. It’s either me or her, your choice.”

“I’m not a child, I don’t a guardian by my side at all times.”

Clarence reasoned, “What if you faint again? How am I going to look for you?”

Stella pursed her lips and said, “It was an accident, I…”

“Didn’t you listen to the doctor? You’re too stressed out lately, your emotions are all over the place, so you have to rest properly. If you were met with another major stimulus, it’s possible for you to faint again.”

“I don’t recall the doctor saying that final statement.”

“I’m merely stating something that might happen in the future. You gotta look further, you see.”

Stella looked outside the window, not playing along with his game.

She realized that everything he said was reasonable, much to her dismay.
