Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 617

Although the two matters seemed to be solved, it wasn’t the end.

It was because the last matter was much more important than the previous ones.

Moreover, in those doyen’s eyes, they had shown some respect to Darnell since they made concessions in the previous two matters.

As for the last matter, they wouldn’t make any concessions.

Hilbert said, “As for the matter that you mentioned before, about allowing Dolores to come back to the family, it’s an important matter and we can’t decide on it by just several sentences. We don’t have full considerations in many aspects.”

One of the doyens immediately chimed in, “That’s true. These rules are set by our ancestors. How can they be easily changed simply because of a person?”

Another doyen echoed, “Moreover, as for Archer’s visit to City N, it’s essentially different from Dolores’ leaving. She admitted to being erased from the family tree back then and insisted on leaving with that man, and we tried to stop her, but failed. Isn’t it ridiculous for her to come back now?”

After their censure, Hilbert slightly raised his hand to stop them.

He took a glance at Dolores who had been kneeling on the ground with her head lowered, “Do you remember what you said before leaving the James family?”

“I wish to be erased from the James family and I won’t step into Riverside again.”

“It’s good that you still remember it.” Hilbert then asked, “So why do you come back now?”

Dolores replied, “I didn’t fulfil my duty as a daughter when my father was alive. He passed away not long ago and I want to pray for him for three years.”

Before the others could express their opinions, Dolores continued, “I won’t ask you to add me into the family tree. I just wish I can pray for him in the ancestral hall.”

Darnell said, “Now that aunt has said that and this was grandpa’s last wish, I think you guys won’t have any objections, right?”

Those doyens, who wanted to oppose it just now, all swallowed their objections and looked towards Hilbert.

They knew deep down that since Hilbert planned to let Elaine marry Darnell, probably he wouldn’t offend Darnell thoroughly.

Hilbert said, “Well, but you have to sleep on it. Once we agree on this, you should kneel here every day in these three years. It’s not simply to show your filial piety, but also to reflect the mistakes you made.”

Clarence slightly frowned and took a step forward, but Stella clasped his hand tightly.

Although she didn’t know what was going on, since Ms. Anderson hadn’t taken a glance at Clarence and Hilbert didn’t call Clarence’s name, she could tell that they didn’t want to expose Clarence’s identity to those doyens.

Dolores replied, “I’ve made up my mind.”

Hilbert stood up, trembling, “All right. Those who have to kneel in front of our ancestors should continue to kneel here. As for other people, you shall go on with your own business.”

Franklin stepped forward and supported him out of the hall.

Seeing this, other doyens all stepped out of the hall one by one.

Darnell turned around to take a glance at Clarence and Stella and said blandly, “Follow me.”

Archer looked up at them with a grievance.

Darnell ignored it and continued to step forward.

Looking at Dolores’ back, Stella moved her lips trying to say something, yet still swallowed the words in the end.

There would be an answer soon.

Stella withdrew her gaze and found Clarence was also looking at Dolores.

She tugged the sleeve of his suit jacket. Clarence then withdrew his gaze and took her out of the hall, his face icy-cold.

When the footsteps gradually disappeared, Archer finally heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that he came to life again. He slumped down the ground and murmured, “How ungrateful.”

He then looked at Elaine and poked at her shoulder, “Why are you still kneeling? They’ve left.”

Elaine was still angry. She shrugged down his hand, giving no reply.

Archer beat his knees gently, “I have to ask why you’re so bold recently. How dare you offend those old…”

Before he could utter the word “stuff”, he spotted that Dolores was looking over and bit the tip of his tongue.
