Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 83

Upon hearing it, Alexander breathed a sigh of relief. With a wry smile, he said, “I see. I thought you know Mr. Conrad very well.”

Stella was about to answer, and they heard a man’s cold voice behind. “Ms. Radomil, I also think you know me very well.”

There was a few seconds of silence among them.

Alexander immediately explained, “Mr. Conrad, Stella didn’t mean it...”

“Stella?” Clarence snorted. “You called her first name. It seems you guys are quite close, Mr. Hans and Ms. Radomil.”

Alexander was so nervous. “I... Stella and I...”

Stella looked over at Clarence and said calmly, “Mr. Conrad, if you are unhappy with me, please talk to me directly. Why are you always targeting another person?”

Clarence looked over at her slowly, his eyes and brows full of coldness.

Alexander sensed the tense atmosphere between them. He tried several times to speak but couldn’t utter any sound.

A few seconds later, Clarence said in a cold tone, “Ms. Radomil, you think yourself someone important, don’t you?”

“I see. I’ve got to go now. Please excuse me.” As she spoke, Stella nodded slightly at him and turned away.

“Wait, Stella...” Alexander hurriedly called her. Then he turned around and said to Clarence, “I’m sorry, Mr. Conrad. I’ll be right back after seeing Stella off.”

Stella walked to the entrance, waiting for the taxi. Then she saw Alexander follow her up. She said, “I can go home myself. You don’t need to give me a ride.”

Alexander said, “It’s alright. I’ll see you off.”

Upon hearing it, Stella couldn’t refuse him again. She nodded.

When standing next to her, Alexander felt how furious she was. After a hesitation, he asked, “Stella, do Mr. Conrad and you know each other?”

Stella was taken aback for a moment. She didn’t know how to answer.

Alexander continued, “You’re from City N and so is Mr. Conrad. Was there any misunderstanding between you two before?”

It wasn’t difficult for him to figure out -- they were so rude to each other. He guessed probably they had a big grudge or they disliked each other a lot. However, Mr. Conrad was a powerful man, who was always quite busy. How could he make trouble to a woman whom he just met for the first time?

On the other hand, Stella had moved to Anqiao Street more than half a month. She was always smiling at others. She had a good temper and was always gentle. Alexander had never seen her talking to anyone else in such a tone.

Stella didn’t how to explain to him. Fortunately, the taxi arrived. She said, “Ms. Hans, we can talk tomorrow. I’m taking off now.”

Alexander nodded. “Okay. Message me when you got home.”

“Sure.”

After the taxi was going afar, Alexander gradually withdrew his gaze. When he went back to the box, one of his managers was a bit unhappy. “Alex, it’s been such a long time. Where have you been?”

“I...”

“All right. You don’t need to explain. Mr. Conrad has left. Let’s call it a day.”

...

When Stella arrived home, Dolores was already sleeping. It was quiet around the house, and only chirps of insects could be heard occasionally.

She sat in the yard, supporting her head to look at the sky.

In the sky, the moon showed up afar. Soon, it was covered by the cloud.

Stella was lost in thought. She heaved a sigh in silence. When she withdrew her hands, she found nothing on her left earlobe.

She wondered when her earring was missing.

What an unlucky day!

She was always unlucky when meeting Clarence.

Stella looked depressed. When she was about to go back to her room, she heard the knocks on the door.
