Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 616

When the worship ceremony was over, many members of the family, who didn’t want to be involved in the trouble, left one by one.

Those who stayed here were people who wanted to watch the show.

As most of the James had left, Clarence and Stella, the two strangers to the family, became conspicuous.

If Dolores didn’t show up, probably none of them would think of the possibility.

But the reality was that Dolores was present, and there was a man who looked similar to Darnell and at the same time around his age.

Therefore, they began to guess it and discussed it in whispers.

Hilbert also heard their voices. With the help of his presbyopia glasses, he took a glance at Clarence, but people didn’t know whether he had seen Clarence clearly or not.

Holding his crutch, he coughed several times and then said, “The worship ceremony has come to an end. Except for me, several doyens, Franklin, Darnell and his mother, other people shall come to the front hall.”

Hearing Hilbert’s words, those people didn’t dare to watch the show and left one by one as Hilbert was quite prestigious in the family.

Seeing this scene, Elaine also prepared to leave secretly.

But Hilbert stopped her, “Elaine, stay here.”

Elaine, who just lifted one of her feet, put it down and obediently walked to her father.

When all of those irrelevant people had left, Hilbert picked up the cup of tea on the near table, blew the tea leaf floating on the tea and said slowly, “We’re not in a hurry. Let’s solve it one by one.”

He then looked towards Elaine, “Let’s start from you.”

Elaine tried to muddle through it by playing cute, “Grand-grandpa…”

Hilbert took a sip of the tea and appeared to be not moved. He looked up again, “Don’t stand there. Please come in.”

Clarence slightly pressed his thin lips together and took Stella into the ancestral hall.

Seeing this scene, Archer looked around awkwardly.

He didn’t know whether he should follow them into the hall, or leave.

Archer scratched his head and thought to himself: Never mind. I will go in too. There have been many people after all.

Elaine immediately thought of a countermeasure whens seeing Clarence walking into the hall. She reached out to hug his arm, but Clarence dodged her touch effortlessly.

Elaine was somehow scared when spotting the coldness in his eyes.

However, she had no choice because she didn’t want to marry Darnell.

Franklin let out a heavy cough, reminding Elaine to behave herself and not to go too far.

Elaine withdrew her hands, not feeling embarrassed at all, and then said in a righteous voice, “Grand-grandpa, I’ve been fascinated by the other man and I don’t want to marry uncle Darnell.”

Franklin knitted his brows. He was the first to condemn Elaine, “What nonsense are you talking about? How can he be your uncle? Mind your words.”

Elaine retorted, “Am I wrong? You asked me to call him uncle when I was young. And he will always be my uncle.”

Hilbert said in a deep voice, “Hilbert, I and Darnell’s grandfather are cousins and you two are distant relatives at most. We asked you to call him uncle to close your relationship. It’s just an address and it doesn’t matter.”

When Elaine prepared to retort, the other doyens who sat beside Hilbert began to cough.

Franklin also warned her with his gaze, gesturing not to refute anymore.

Right at this moment, Darnell’s bland voice sounded. “I don’t agree wither.”

Darnell’s mother wanted to say something, but she simply moved her lips and didn’t say anything in the end.

Darnell continued, “I don’t plan to marry any woman and form a family for now. Elaine is still young and we’re not suitable.”
