Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 478

Stella shook her head, “Since he knew about this before I did, but chose not to tell me about it, he must have his reasons behind this.”

“So, is this your way of saying that you forgive him?”

“It’s not like he’s done anything bad to me, but I wouldn’t call this forgiving him.”

Moreover, she was rather pleased that she ended up not tearing apart the paper-thin film between the two parties.

Or else, she could not even begin to imagine how it would turn out if Chan knew about it.

If that happened, no matter who it was, they were bound to be awkward.

As if Clarence was able to read her mind, he frowned and said in a low voice, “As long as you have a clear idea on the matter, you can ignore what other people think.”

Slightly annoyed, she repeated, “Chan is my only brother, he’s also my only…”

“Stella, it doesn’t matter if he’s the only one, or one of a few, you have to know that you must put yourself first before anyone else. There’s nothing wrong if you choose to live for yourself every once in a while.”

Stella wanted to object him, but just as she opened her mouth to say something, Clarence added, “Do you know why you’re always this stressed out? It’s because you just had to care about how other people feel or think about you. You’re overthinking everything, that’s why you always seem exhausted.”

“I don’t always care about how other people feel, I just don’t want Chan…”

“He’s already twenty years old, he’s an adult now. If he can’t even stomach these insignificant news, do you think that everything you’ve done for him is worth it?”

It wasn’t until a while later that Stella added in a soft voice, “This is how I think. No one else is more important to me than Chan. If I had to choose, I would undoubtedly choose him.”

Clarence’s eyebrows shifted up, “Not even me?”

Stella looked him in the eyes and said in the same tone of voice, “Sir, you just had to embarrass yourself, don’t you?”

Clarence was speechless.

He switched off the lights and said, “Sleep.”

In the dark, Stella blinked repeatedly and asked, “Are you angry at me?”

Clarence said in a way that concealed his emotions, “No.”

“It’s your own fault that you asked this kind of question, since you already know my answer to it. Also, didn’t you say that I should put myself first before anyone else? I’m merely speaking my mind.”

Clarence chuckled, “Heh.”

Seeing his state pleased Stella greatly, as she put on a smug smirk on her face.

She had also stopped opposing to the idea of Alisa following her around as she said, “I want to go shopping tomorrow, when will Alisa get here?”

“She’ll be here when you’re awake.”

“Oh.”

That wretched man sounded like he had dynamite for dinner just now.

It could be that Stella slept a lot for the past two days, or she was beyond delighted that she managed to troll Clarence, she was unable to sleep. At the same time, there was a barrel filled with dynamite right beside her, so she figured that the best course of action was to play with that barrel, which may or may not be armed with an extremely volatile fuse.

Stella said softly, “Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence did not respond.

Stella moved around in his embrace, raised her hand and poked at his waist, “Are you asleep?”

The barrel beside him was still not responding.

Stella added, “Eh, whatever then.”

Just as she was going to retract her hand, it was grabbed by Clarence. His cold voice replied, “What ‘whatever’?”

“Nothing much. I can’t sleep, so I want to chat with you for a little bit. But you seem quite tired, so go to sleep, hmm? Good…”
