Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 600

Clarence stared at him without any expression, “I am married.”

Elaine looked like she didn’t buy his reasoning, “Then why aren’t you here with your wife?”

“She’s looking after our kid.”

“This is getting ridiculous. You don’t even look like a married man. Anyway, I don’t believe that.” Elaine pulled his arm as they moved forward, “Get going. Aren’t you looking for Darnell? He’s just up ahead.”

Clarence pulled back his arm and said with a chilly tone, “Walk properly.”

Elaine pouted again, but she didn’t respond with any words. She led her into a small courtyard just ahead of them.

In that courtyard, two fully-suited bodyguards were flanking the entrance.

Upon seeing Elaine, they simultaneously nodded and greeted her, “Miss James.”

Elaine had her hands behind her back as she asked, “Where is Darnell? I need to see him.”

“The young master is just inside. You can come in, Miss James.” One of those men replied as he studied Clarence who was behind her, “He can only wait here.”

Elaine said, “He’s my boyfriend, so why can’t he go in with me?”

The man simply said, “Miss James, you know the young master’s style. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Elaine’s face visibly darkened, “Then do you know my rules?”

The two men maintained their stance, “You’re the only one allowed to enter, Miss James.”

Elaine stomped the ground furiously, “You…”

Clarence checked the time and was getting impatient. He proceeded to enter the courtyard with his legs striding forward.

The two men exchange a subtle glance before standing in Clarence’s way.

Clarence hesitated in his steps but his tone was demanding and cold, “Get out of the way.”

“You can’t go in.”

Clarence didn’t heed them at all as he continued to march forward.

The two men hastily followed and cried out, “Mr. Conrad…”

Clarence swept his gaze over them and said, “Since you know who I am, then you should know why I am here.”

Elaine tilted her head in confusion as she watched the scene in front of her develop. She jogged after them too.

Clarence went all the way to the door and pushed it open only to find no one inside.

Elaine let out an audible “Oh” as she asked, “Didn’t you say that he’s here?”

“He’s indeed here… just a while ago.”

“Then where is he now?”

The two of them stayed silent. It’s hard to find out whether they just didn’t know about Darnell’s whereabouts or they simply chose to say nothing.

Clarence snorted coldly, “Why is he playing this meaningless hide and seek with me now?”

At this moment, Clarence’s phone rang. It was a call from Nathan.

Nathan whispered, “Mr. Conrad, I have found out where Darnell is.”

Clarence managed a vague response before hanging up and turning around to leave.

Elaine scurried around the house for a minute but there was no sign of Darnell. She turned around only to see the disappearing Clarence. She jogged while instructing his two underlings, “Tell Darnell that I am kidnapped by someone. Ask him to save me!”

The two bodyguards were speechless.

This was the first time for them to witness someone getting abducted intentionally while jogging after the “abductor”.

Nathan was waiting outside the hall, and upon seeing Clarence, he rushed forward, “Mr. Conrad, someone saw Darnell escaping from the back door twenty minutes ago. He was said to be heading towards a private club in Sunshine Road.

“Let’s go.”

After getting off the stairs, Nathan opened the car door, and he saw a smiley-faced girl greeting him with a smile.

Nathan took a step back, “Mr. Conrad.”

The man hung up and turned towards a wardrobe shelving some wine. He took out a bottle of red wine.

Stella noticed that he had brought two glasses with him.

In the whole episode just now, he didn’t even raise his eyes and look elsewhere.

Did he see her yet?

Stella walked towards him, and the man coincidentally finished pouring the red wine. He pushed forward a glass in her direction.

Stella looked at him, “Are you the one ordering those people to kidnap me?”

The man sat on a chair and took a sip out of his wine. Then, he lazily answered, “I just asked them to bring the child over, but it seemed that things didn’t go as planned.”

Stella slightly frowned, “What do you plan to do?”

The man put down his glass and looked at her, “I think I just have too much time on my hands.”

Stella recalled that just before the flight, this man had a message for her. From the looks of things, they didn’t seem to have any malicious intentions.

What’s more, they seemed to want to save her child.

Stella probed further, “Then who are you guys?”

The man curled his lips and his gaze fell on the glass in front of him. After a few seconds, he asked, “Are you asking about me?”

At that moment, the door was opened, and someone looking like his underling came in to report, “Mr. James, Clarence is making his way here.”

“He is indeed fast on his feet.” The man got up and said to Stella, “I am off now. Are you going to wait for him here, or are you going with me?”

Before Stella could answer, the maid had carried the child downstairs.

Stella pressed his lips slightly and found that she had no say in this.

She walked to the maid and said, “Give me my child.”

The maid looked at the man who nodded, which allowed her to hand Noah to Stella.
