Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 574

Stella leaned against the chair and said with a light smile, “You’re not a babysitter because I won’t give you a salary.”

Madison was rendered speechless.

She questioned angrily, “How can you expect me to do this?”

Stella said slowly, “To be honest, both of us are clear of the reason why you wanted to introduce Logan to me before. I’ve never been a generous person. Other people commented me as a wicked person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.”

Madison stammered, “That… that thing has been a past long ago. How about this? I will apologize to you again. Anyway, don’t vent your anger on my husband. I’m willing to accept the consequences of my doing.”

“Okay. But you should agree to my condition.”

“What’s it?”

“I told you just now: help me take care of a baby.” Stella added, “But I have to remind you in advance: if you agree to it, the baby’s safety is bound up to your daughter’s safety.”

Madison’s expression slightly changed. “What do you mean?” She asked.

Stella slightly pressed her lips together, “I mean I will threaten you with your daughter. So you can give me a reply after sleeping on it.”

Madison frowned, “You bewildered me. Baby? What do you mean? How can you have a baby?”

“It’s my baby. I gave birth to a baby before.”

“Who’s the baby’s father?”

Stella just looked at her and didn’t reply.

Madison coughed and took a sip of coffee, “How old is the baby?”

“Eight months.”

“It’s true that I have experience in taking care of a baby. But I took care of my baby with the support of a babysitter, so I’m not sure whether if I can do it well. What if the baby gets hurt and you blame me for that?”

“Rest assured. Someone will help you take care of the baby. He’s not naughty and you just have to take care of his daily life, feed him and change his diapers. I will come back in the evening.”

Madison asked, “Are you really going not to pay me?”

Stella asked, “Well, how much do you want?”

Madison showed her fingers, “May I?”

“Of course. I will deduct it from your husband’s salary.”

Madison was rendered speechless.

She couldn’t help denounce her, “You’re so mean. I don’t know whom you learn this from.”

When Stella prepared to answer her question, a man’s face popped out into her mind. She paused for a while and then curled her lips into an inexplicable smile.

Madison continued, “Well, I will try my best to take care of your baby. But we should make clear some matters. Firstly, our grudges shall be a past. I admitted that I was jealous of you before. Secondly, you can’t seek trouble for my husband due to your grudge against me. Thirdly, …”

Madison paused and then added, “How long will I have to take care of the baby?”

Stella pondered for a while and then replied, “It will not be too long.”

“That’s good. I’m fine with it if you just want me to take care of the baby for one or two months. It’s acceptable even if it will last for three or four months. But if it lasts for too long, I’m afraid that I will have some problems with it.”

“What are the problems?”

Madison replied, “Raising a child is like raising a pet and I will develop feelings towards him if I take care of him for a long time. Moreover, you won’t give me any salary and you can ask me to leave at will. How unfair!”

Stella curled her lips into a smile, “Well. I see.”

They then left the café together. Madison couldn’t help but ask, “Come on, you will not really use my daughter to threaten me, right? She’s just a kid.”

Stella said in a calm voice, “I was not joking. I can’t find a person suitable for this job, nor do I trust you. So I have to get something on you.”

Madison clicked her tongue, “I don’t know what you’re doing. Clarence is your husband and both Horace and Emmett were once your wooers. Yet you said you couldn’t find a person suitable for this job or a person to trust?”
