Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 88

“Ms. Beckham, I...”

“Stella, please let me finish my words.” Evelyn looked quite solemn, “Since you moved here, I know you have a difficult life, but I’m afraid to remind you of something sad and upset you. Hence, neither Ms. Anderson nor I wanted to bring up the subject to you. But you know I’m quite straightforward. I can’t hold it any longer and I want to say something now.”

After a pause, Evelyn continued and cursed, “Your ex-husband is truly a scumbag.”

Stella was speechless.

Clarence looked over at Evelyn in confusion.

Before Evelyn went on cursing, Dolores touched her arm, hinting at her to stop.

Evelyn said, “Dolores, don’t stop me, please. Things have come this far, I must finish my words. Stella, forget him. Cherish the current chance.”

Feeling the waves of coldness next to her, Stella hurriedly said, “Ms. Beckham, you’ve understood it. I divorced him peacefully. It’s not like what you’ve thought.”

“A peaceful divorce? Even if you’re divorced, you are still pregnant. Your ex-husband doesn’t care about you at all. Is he still a human? Any man who still has his conscience would never let a girl leave her hometown and move to a strange place when she’s pregnant. You don’t have anyone to depend on here. When you are bullied, nobody can help you.”

Stella felt that her brain was about to explode, “Ms. Beckham, please. I really...”

Evelyn heaved a sigh, still pulling her hand, “Stella, please don’t force yourself to smile. I’ve experienced everything. I know how you feel.” As she spoke, she said, “Alex, come over.”

Alexander stood up and walked between them.

Evelyn pulled Stella’s hand with one hand and pulled Alexander’s with the other, “You both are good youngsters. Stella, believe me, Alex is quite reliable. He likes you truly. He’ll take good care of you.”

Evelyn had already done such a preparation. Alexander took the chance and said, “Stella, I truly don’t mind what happened to you in the past. I know you might not know me very well yet. But, it’s alright. I hope you can give me a chance and let me prove my love to you.”

Stella didn’t answer, looking quite stunned.

Evelyn mistook that she tacitly approved. When she was about to pull their hands together, Stella suddenly withdrew her hand, “I’m sorry, but I don’t think it works.”

A trace of darkness flashed through Alexander’s eyes.

Evenly sighed as well. She said to Alexander, “We can’t rush in such a thing. Just take it easy, Alex.”

Alexander went back to his seat, looking quite down.

Stella’s heart almost popped out of her chest. She was stunned just now because when Alexander was confessing his love, a man’s hand grabbed hers under the table. His slender fingers inserted between her fingers bit by bit until ten fingers were clasped.

Stella turned around and glared at him.

Clarence raised his head and gulped down a glass of liquor calmly, raising his eyebrows only.

After such a matter, all the neighbors at the table quieted down.

Stella felt extremely uneasy all the time because she found that Clarence didn’t have any intention to release her hand that he gripped.

She wondered what was wrong with this wretched man.

When the gathering ended, all the neighbors bid each other farewell.

Alexander managed to cheer up himself, “Mr. Conrad, may I give you a ride, please?”

Clarence said in an indifferent tone, “No, thanks. Mr. Hans, you look pale. Go home and have a rest.”

While he was speaking, Stella secretly increased the strength on her left hand, managing to pull it out from his grip.

Clarence said again, “I want to wander around. Ms. Radomil, please show me around.”

Stella, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, was shocked again.

She didn’t agree, did she?

Alexander parted his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t think he had the right. Besides, Clarence was married. Alexander didn’t think he would have any evil intention towards a pregnant woman.

After Alexander was gone, Clarence cast a glance at Stella, on whose face the unwillingness was written, “Ms. Radomil, shall we?”
