Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 527

Clarence whispered, "Yeah, I’ve seen him."

Stella did not say anything. She could tell it was nothing pleasant just by thinking.

She gently raised her hand, patted his back and comforted him silently.

At length, she whispered, "Let’s go home. I'll cook for you. What do you want to eat?"

Clarence's voice was slightly raised and there was some obvious directivity. "Anything?"

“…”

She should not have pitied him!

Stella loosened her grip and retracted her hand. "Alright, let's go."

Sitting in the car, Clarence looked at her. "Let’s not go home."

Stella asked while driving, "Then where do you want to go?"

Clarence said, "Where do you want to go?"

Stella said seriously, "I want to go home and sleep."

"That’s okay though."

Stella regretted mentioning that and she simply shut her mouth up.

After a few seconds, Clarence entered an address into the navigation panel and said blandly, "Let’s go here."

Stella took a glimpse. "Sure."

That address belonged to somewhere in an old city.

City N was really huge, so huge that Stella felt that she had never been there.

The car drove for an hour before reaching their destination.

After stopping the car, Stella opened the door. What she saw were all dilapidated houses, surrounded by broken walls and were uninhabited. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.

The place was so old and desolate as if it had been forgotten, and it was incompatible with the prosperous city.

As Stella was wondering why Clarence would bring her there, he stopped next to her, leaned against the car, looked at the far end and said, "I’ve lived here before the Conrad’s take me back."

Stella was startled and she looked back at him. "You mean here?"

"Yes."

"Then how..."

How did the place become like that?

Clarence said, "A few years ago, a developer bought here and everyone moved away."

Stella asked, "You bought it?"

Clarence looked at her and smiled. "No."

"Huh?"

"The developer bought here because he heard that the government wanted to focus on the development of this place, but he didn't expect that the mayor was replaced and the previous project was rectified again. No one cares about this place anymore and that’s why the place has become like this."

After falling into silence for a while, Stella whispered, "I don't understand the world of the rich. He’s spent so much money to buy it, but he left it here in the end."

Clarence put his hand on her shoulder casually and said slowly, "Invest blindly is not a good idea. If you can't get any profit, it's better to stop the loss in time."

Stella pondered and thought it to be true.

It was an old city in the first place, and the place is situated at the far end corner of the city. If the government had not planned to focus on developing that place, it really had not much future for investments. No matter what they did to the place, it was a losing business.

At a distance, the sun was setting slowly.

Stella leaned on Clarence's shoulder and gazed at the rows of houses in front.

It was indeed very similar to Anqiao Street. The houses were next to each other, and there were many interconnected alleys.

She had to say, it was quite quiet there.

No one would probably regard this as a corner of City N.

After a while, Stella suddenly felt a little strange and she raised her head from Clarence's shoulder. "Have you and Ms. Anderson always lived here?"

"Yeah."

"Without other relatives?"

"Yeah."
