Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 618

Only Clarence, Stella and Darnell were sitting in the side hall.

Sitting on a sofa with a cold face, Clarence looked at Darnell coldly, exuding a cold aura all over.

However, Darnell had been maintaining his indifference and composure, showing no change in his expression.

The two invisible and strong auras met, filling the whole house with oppression.

Stella, who sat beside Clarence, put her hands on her knees and took a deep breath.

After a long while, Darnell said slowly, “I guess you’ve known what you want to know. What else do you want to ask me?”

Clarence asked in a cold voice, “What do you want to do?”

“I didn’t involve in the things that happened in City N. If what you want to ask is the thing that happened just now, I have to say that it has nothing to do with me because it’s your mother’s choice.”

“Or I should ask you about what you said to her before.”

Dolores left Riverside without hesitation even if she had to be erased from the family tree and lived in City N alone for many years. Although she had suffered a lot, she never stepped into Riverside again or turned to the James family for help. It could be seen from this that she was arrogant and unyielding in nature.

She would not choose to come back to Riverside and return to the James family at this point.

Darnell replied casually, “Didn’t aunt say the reason. I guess she regretted not taking care of grandpa when he was alive.”

Clarence looked at him expressionlessly, “It was you who asked Vincent to take him back, right?”

“I just told her that I can help her come back to the James family. As for whether to come back or not, it’s up to her.”

Clarence repeated the question, “What do you want to do?”

Darnell became a bit serious. He crossed his long legs and tapped the arm of the sofa with his fingers, not giving a reply.

Stella felt a bit breathless. Why did they have to talk like this? Couldn’t they make it clear in one go?”

She broke the silence after a short while of silence, “Based on her personality, since she had decided to leave the James family back then, she won’t come back again.”

Stella then looked towards Darnell, “I guess you have threatened her, or it was because she had to come back because of some reasons.”

Darnell replied, “Maybe both of them are possible.”

“You mentioned the things that happened in City N twenty years ago. Maybe it has…”

“I’ve told you to investigate it yourself. You can believe in your investigation.”

Stella pressed her lips together, feeling his matter had become more complicated.

But the only thing she could make sure of now was that the things that happened in City N recently had nothing to do with Darnell.

But they must be related to the James family.

It could be told from today’s worship ceremony. But there were many people in the James family and it was hard for them to start the investigation.

When Stella was in confusion, Clarence stood up, held up her hand and took her out of the hall.

He walked so quickly that Stella had to trot to follow his paces. She turned around to look at Darnell, moved her lips trying to say something, yet didn’t utter a word in the end.

Nobody stopped them.

They walked out of the side hall and stopped in a garden. Stella asked in a low voice, “Didn’t you plan to ask him some questions? Why didn’t you ask just now?”

“I’ve learned about those things I can know today. As for the other matters, he won’t tell me.”

Stella also had perceived that Darnell was beating around the bush today. Except for learning that Dolores was from the James family, they didn’t get any clues for other matters.

“Then…”

“Let’s go. I will send you out.”

Stella finally realized what he said after taking several steps. He meant to send her out only.

Stella looked at him, “What about you?”

Stella couldn’t read through Clarence’s expression. He said, “I have to stay here to deal with some matters.”

Stella recalled that Dolores was still kneeling in the ancestral hall.
