Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 609

Stella looked away to evade his gaze, “Er… what else can it mean?”

Clarence pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him, and said slowly, “Seems like you don’t have a clear understanding of me.”

When he prepared to kiss her, Stella pushed him away, “Get up. I have something to tell you.”

“What do you want to tell me? And why do I have to get up?”

Stella was rendered speechless.

She tweaked his waist and Clarence let out a stuffy moan.

Stella took the opportunity to get rid of his confinement. She turned over and got out of the bed.

Stella tried to find a pen and a paper in the room, yet failed.

Sitting on the edge of the back, Clarence leaned backwards with his hands on the bed to support his body and closely fixed his eyes on Stella, “What are you looking for?”

“Pen and paper. Do you have them?”

“Nope. You can call the reception and ask them to send some over.”

‘Oh, that’s true.’ Stella thought to herself.

Stella walked to the bedside table and dialled the reception.

Ten minutes later, a staff of the hotel sent them a pen and some paper.

Stella sat down on the sofa, calmed down herself and then quickly drew on the paper.

After a short while, Clarence sat down beside her, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and put his chin on her shoulder, “What are you drawing? Didn’t you say you have something to tell me?”

Stella replied, “It will be finished soon.”

When speaking, she patted the hands on her waist and said seriously, “Let go of me.”

Clarence could only withdraw his hands, leaned against the sofa behind him and watched her drawing the picture.

About twenty minutes later, the outline of a man’s face was shown on the white paper and Stella began to add details carefully.

Clarence landed his gaze on the paper and then narrowed his black eyes.

He suddenly said, “You were not so serious and careful when portraying me.”

Stella was rendered speechless.

Stella took a glance at the picture which was almost finished and put it in front of Clarence, “This is Darnell James.”

“I’ve guessed it. So it’s really hard for me to understand why you said he’s as handsome as me.”

Stella’s eyelids twitched as she was very speechlessly. She then looked at him expressionlessly.

Clarence said, “Go on.”

“Maybe it’s because I failed to portray his temperament, but I think…” Stella continued after a while of silence, “You two look somehow alike from some aspects.”

“Come on, are you telling me that he’s another illegitimate son of Dempsey?”

“Then he should be like Justin. Does it have any relationship with you?”

Clarence raised his brows, “Really?”

Stella ignored him and continued, “I heard from you before that except for Ms. Anderson, you haven’t seen other relatives. So I guess…”

Clarence rubbed her hair, “Honey, you’ve thought too much of it. I haven’t seen them because they’re all dead.”

Stella was stunned for several seconds, “But didn’t you say that you never asked Ms. Anderson about this?”

“I never asked her about this. But I investigated it.”

Stella replied with a nasal sound after a long while and then said, “Maybe I’ve thought too much of it.”

She had only seen Darnell several times and only at the moment she first saw him did she feel he looked like Clarence. Maybe it was just an illusion.

“It’s late. You should go to bed early.”

Clarence looked towards the picture on the tea table, his eyes turning gloomy, and slightly pressed his thin lips together.

Stella had done a good job and actually, she even showed Darnell’s temperament in the picture.
