Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 605

When Stella woke up, the room was dark with heavy curtains.

She just thought of getting up. One hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.

In the next second, she fell into the warm chest of the man.

Clarence's low-pitched voice sounded, “Why don’t you keep on sleeping?”

“I am getting a headache because of sleeping.”

“The doctor said that you are overly tired. Just sleep for a while. What do you want to eat? I will ask Nathan to bring it over.”

Stella said, “I have no appetite.”

Clarence said, “You have to eat whether you have an appetite or not. You don’t want to pass out again, right?”

Stella was silent and did not say anything.

After a short while, she felt the people behind her move slightly. The wall lamp was turned on, and the faint orange light spread out without a trace.

When Clarence got up, Stella also sat up. And she asked, “What time is it?”

Clarence lowered his head and glanced at his watch. “1:30 in the afternoon.”

Stella rubbed her head, “I have slept for so long?”

“Nah, not long enough. Just get more rest, and I will wake you up for the meal.”

After the conversation, Clarence walked out of the room.

Stella really couldn't fell asleep. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, only to find that she was wearing a men's shirt.

Stella got speechless.

In the living room, Clarence is calling Nathan.

Stella passed by him, walked to the table and poured a glass of water.

Clarence turned around, staring at her, with his eyebrows raising unconsciously.

When she brought her back from the hospital, Stella smelled of disinfectant, so he put his clothes on for her directly.

On the phone, Nathan said, “Ms. James, I have prepared Madam's clothes, and I should deliver them now.”

“No need.”

Nathan didn’t understand.

Clarence slowly said, “Send the meal over, I'm hungry.”

“I have prepared the clothes, so I can send them with the meal...”

Halfway through the conversation, Nathan keenly noticed the key factors of the conversation, and immediately changed his word, “Okay, I'll go and prepare the lunch.”

Clarence put away the phone with satisfaction, he walked to Stella, watched her finish her drinking, stretched out his finger to gently wipe the water droplets on her lips, and his fingers stayed on the corners of her lips for a few seconds.

Stella looked up at him as if looking at a pervert, “What are you doing?”

Clarence lifted his eyebrow, took the empty glass from her hand, and poured water into it, “Nothing. Do you want to drink more?”

“I'm fine.”

Upon hearing this, Clarence put down the glass kettle and drank the rest of the water.

Stella didn't bother to pay attention to him and went to find her clothes.

Clarence followed her, “Your clothes haven't been dried after the washing. I have asked Nathan Lance to get it done. They’ll be delivered it in a while.”

Stella turned her head, found her mobile phone on the sofa, charged it and turned it on. After thinking about it, she stared at Clarence, “I have something to tell you.”

Clarence sat next to her, “Huh?”

Stella didn't know how to speak out what’s in her mind.

These things are so complicated that she didn’t even understand them now.

After a while, Stella said, “Our child...I left him with Darnell. They may have the cure for his illness. Darnell said that he had nothing to do with what happened in City N before. Someone framed him up. Eh. I... I don't know if I should trust him, but the little guy did get better with their treatment.”

As she said, she lowered her head and her voice was dull, “I have no other choice but to...”

In the opposite, Clarence paused slightly, for he caught a glimpse of the amazing view under the shirt collar.

Seeing he paused there, Stella looked up in confusion. After realizing where he was looking, she quickly sat up, picked up the pillow and smashed it over.

Clarence easily caught the pillow, “Let’s be reasonable, I didn't mean to see them. How could you blame me for that?”

Stella said faintly, “Don’t be such an animal.”

Clarence's lips twitched slightly and put the pillow aside, “Let’s eat.”

After dinner, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.

Stella looked at Clarence, “What are your plans now.”

Clarence confronted her gaze, “Five pounds.”

Stella was at a loss

Clarence said, “You have lost a lot of weight during this period. Let me help you put on five pounds first.”

Stella got speechless.

What's wrong with this guy?

Clarence continued, “Seven or eight pounds will help too. Come on. Just eat more.”

Stella couldn't bear it, “Shut up!”

A smile appeared on Clarence’s face, “A few more days later, there’ll be the James family's semi-annual family gathering. I will take you there then.”

Upon hearing this, Stella frowned, “But family gatherings, can I go in?”

“How can you know if you don't try it?” Clarence said, “Since we need to check what happened 20 years ago, how can we find out the truth if we don't go inside the James family?”

Stella said, “Then don’t you go back to City N?”

“You are all here, why should I go back?”

What's more, since those people have tried so hard to bring him here, he wanted to see what will happen.
