Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 480

Everything went smoothly as Emmett and Daniel were there. They got a burial ground prepared beforehand.

After cremation, the ashes would be buried in the burial ground by the workers.

On the way home, Stella called Channing. She then sent him the address of the grave and then leaned on the car window. She stared outside quietly.

Sherry asked softly, “Stella, are you okay?”

Stella smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m used to this.”

Sherry sighed silently. She tapped Stella’s shoulder, trying to comfort her. She didn’t know what to say.

After a while, the car stopped.

Stella reorganized her thoughts and took a deep breath. She was about to open the car door, but someone opened it from outside.

She looked up and looked at the person standing outside the car in surprise, “Why are you here?”

Clarence leaned forward and grabbed her hand that was hanging mid-air, “How could I not be here for something so important?”

Stella pursed her lips. She got out of the car.

Daniel called her and she was soon on her way to the appraisal center. On the way, she messaged Clarence about this.

But he never replied. She thought he was in a meeting and wasn’t expecting to see him.

She got out of the car and noticed that Cameron was there as well. He had a walking stick with him and stood afar with a grim look on his face.

Daniel probably told him about it already.

Stella looked around, there was no one else.

Clarence knew what she was thinking. He held her shoulder and said, “Let’s go.”

The sky turned dark, and it started to rain.

Stella stood in front of the grave. She lowered her eyes.

Clarence stood next to her, holding an umbrella.

After a while, Channing arrived as well.

He didn’t walk up to the grave, he just stood quietly and watched from afar. His handsome facial features were being clouded by the misty weather, one couldn’t tell how he was feeling.

Many came, but nobody talked during the whole funeral.

After the tomb was sealed, Cameron sighed deeply, “It had been so many years, Miranda could finally rest in peace.”

Clarence said, “It’s not that simple.”

Cameron looked at him and grimaced, “What do you mean?”

“After the explosion that year, what else happened? Why was she there for such a long time? Why didn’t she ask for help? Why did she marry Jeffrey and why was she killed by him? There are so many questions but there are no answers.”

Cameron gripped his walking stick, he frowned deeply and didn’t say anything.

Clarence continued talking, “Jeffrey is the only one who knows the answer to these questions.”

Daniel said, “We used every trick on the book to make him talk. Even if he said something, he was just spouting lies. None of what he said was true.”

Clarence said, “That’s because he knew that that way, he would still have value and you guys wouldn’t kill him off so soon.”

“Do you know how to make him talk then?”

“I don’t know.”

Everyone was speechless.

Stella grabbed his sleeve, signaling him to not talk about it anymore.

Clarence grabbed her hand in return and said, “I just wanted to remind everyone that this isn’t over yet, it’s not that simple. We shouldn’t let our guard down.”
