Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 554

Clarence added, “I meant can you please not move to another place in the future?”

Stella slowly turned her head to look at him.

Only now did she vaguely realize that Clarence was not in a good mood when talking with her today.

In the past, he used to talk to her in an imperative, overbearing and unreasonable tone.

Stella wasn’t sure whether it was her illusion or not that there was a touch of begging in Clarence’s voice.

Clarence met with her gaze and felt bewildered.

Stella suddenly reached out and touched his forehead, “Are you sick?”

Clarence was rendered speechless.

He pulled down her hand and grabbed it in his palm, “Nope.”

“Then why did you say those strange words?”

Clarence frowned “I asked you not to move out of the mansion. Is it strange?”

Stella nodded her head seriously, “Isn’t it strange? In the past, you would use words like ‘can’t’ ‘not allow’, but not ‘can you please’.”

“Is there any difference?”

“Of course. The words ‘can you please’ sound not as overbearing as the above-mentioned words.”

Clarence was amused, “Don’t chew on the words.”

Stella pouted, “Did you do something behind my back and therefore feel sorry for me? Or did you have the other woman outside?”

“Go back early. You have an illusion as you’ve overstrained your nerves.”

Stella was lost for words.

This wretched man still had a sharp tone!

Stella withdrew her hand from his palm and said, “Well, I have to leave. Continue with your work.”

Clarence stood up and put on his suit jacket.

Stella turned around, “I can go back myself, sincerely. You…”

“I didn’t mean to give you a ride. I will also come back.”

Stella was confused.

She was lost for words.

On the way back, Clarence had been grasping her hand. He leaned against the back seat with his eyes closed. Stella didn’t know whether he was sleeping or not.

But she didn’t bother him as she thought it was good for him to have a rest.

When they arrived at the Starry Lake Mansion, Stella walked into the bedroom and asked, “Would you like to have a bath first?”

Clarence pulled down his necktie with one hand, his voice carrying a trace of tiredness, “You first.”

“Okay. But it may take more time as I have to wash my hair today. If you’re anxious, you can take a bath in the bathroom of the guestroom.”

“Okay.”

Stella picked up her pyjamas and walked into the bathroom.

Clarence walked to the balcony, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, gripped it with his teeth and then lit the cigarette.

After a while, he received a call from Nathan. “Mr. Conrad, she’s recognized the man. The one who gave Maxwell’s photo to her was Master Conrad’s subordinate.”

Clarence had expected this.

He brushed the cigarette ash and said in a composed voice, “Be careful when dealing with it. Don’t let Dempsey find it.”

“Okay.”

Nathan asked, “How should we deal with this woman?”
