Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 84

Stella subconsciously stood in front of Clarence to hide him. “Nobody, Ms. Anderson. A friend of mine. I...”

However, she had totally forgotten that Clarence was far taller than she was. She couldn’t hide him at all.

Dolores looked over at her, but she wasn’t looked at Stella. She was looking at the man behind Stella.

After a few seconds of silence, Stella heard Clarence’s voice, which sounded like arctic ice. “I’m leaving now.”

“Huh?”

Just now, she spoke so rudely to him but he wasn’t willing to leave. She wondered why he changed his mind so fast.

After Clarence strode away for a few steps, Dolores said again, “Clare, wait...”

As if he hadn’t heard it, Clarence strode away.

Stella was taken aback, standing motionlessly in confusion.

She noticed that Dolores looked pale. Before figuring it out, she followed Clarence out.

Nathan, who was waiting outside the house, was also confused. Just now Mr. Conrad looked fine when walking in, why did he look like he would eat someone alive when coming out?

He wondered why this couple was fighting every day.

As soon as Clarence reached his car, Stella caught up with him. She yelled, “Wait, Mr. Conrad!”

Clarence didn’t react to it at all. He pulled the door open, bent over, and sat in.

Nathan looked over at Stella in confusion.

Stella looked back at Nathan in confusion, too.

Obviously, neither of them knew what was going on.

However, Clarence had already sat in the car, so Nathan didn’t dare to delay. He walked to the driver’s seat.

Stella had to stay motionlessly, watching the black Maybach leave.

After a long time, she heard Dolores’s exhausted voice at the door. “Stella, come back.”

Stella withdrew her gaze and walked to her. “Yes, Ms. Anderson.”

Dolores took a look in the direction where Clarence was gone. “Is Clare... your friend?”

“Not really,” Stella said in a low voice, “Ms. Anderson, do you know him?”

Dolores was lost in thought. After a few seconds, she returned to her senses. She put on a wry smile. “He’s the CEO of Conrad Group. I’ve seen his photo in the newspaper before.”

If she didn’t explain in this way, Stella wouldn’t figure it out, but...

Until now, she finally understood why Ms. Anderson would read a finance newspaper every day.

Her son stayed with his father and hadn’t shown up in the past twenty years.

Also, Justin had told her that Clarence was an illegitimate child.

Stella quieted down for a moment. She said, “Ms. Anderson, his photo has never appeared on any newspaper.”

Dolores still looked in a daze. “Oh... Really?”

“Ms. Anderson, is Clarence Conrad your son?”

Dolores didn’t answer, looking down.

Stella didn’t know how to comfort her. Clarence’s attitude should have hurt Dolores just now.

After a hesitation, she continued, “Ms. Anderson, he’s not my friend. He’s my... ex-husband.”

Dolores was stunned, looking at her. Then, suddenly she looked down at her slightly bulged belly.

They both fell into the silence.

Stella had never expected that she escaped from City N over thousands of miles, and she met Clarence's birth mother.

It was so coincidental.

In the end, Dolores rubbed her temples. “It’s quite late now. Go to bed.”

“Okay, I won’t hold you up for so long then. Just go ahead and take a nap.” Evelyn picked up her basket and bent over to whisper in Dolores’ ears, “You must be serious about the matter to matchmake Alex and Stella.”

Dolores felt a stronger migraine.

Shortly after Evelyn was gone, Stella walked downstairs.

Dolores rubbed her forehead and said, “Breakfast is in the cooker.”

Stella answered, returned to the kitchen, and took out her breakfast.

Sitting next to Dolores, she whispered, “Ms. Anderson, do you feel not well?”

Dolores waved her hand. “I got a migraine. It’s my old disease.”

“Shall we go to the hospital together? You need to see a doctor.”

“No, thanks. I’ll be fine after taking some pills.” Dolores looked over at her. “Are you going out?”

Stella paused a few seconds. She answered, “Probably not.”

“Suit yourself. I need to take a nap.” Dolores took a few steps and looked back at her. She asked, “What do you want for lunch?”

Stella had a small bite on the steamed bum. “How about the fish soup?”

“Okay. Evelyn gave me two crucians last night. I’ll make the soup for you.”

“Thank you, Ms. Anderson.”

Dolores’ lips parted as if she wanted to speak something, but in the end, she sighed and went back to her room.

After breakfast, Stella thought that she couldn’t take Ms. Anderson’s meals for granted.

She sat at the table for a moment and called Nathan again.

Nathan replied that Mr. Conrad hadn’t come out of his room or eaten anything since last night until now.

Stella got the news and hung up the phone.
