Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 94

On the way back home, Stella didn’t speak at all.

Only the wretched man could have said the bandit theory so naturally.

Arriving home, Stella said in a low voice, “Mr. Conrad, I’ll go upstairs and go to bed.”

Seemingly Clarence wasn’t willing to talk to her at all, he just hummed coldly.

That attitude was the true color of this wretched man.

After returning to her room, Stella locked the door from the inside. Then she took her clothes and entered the bathroom.

She didn’t take a nap in the afternoon, and she had walked to so many places with Clarence. Now she just wished that she could lie down as soon as finishing the shower.

However, unexpectedly, when she was half done with the shower, the light above her was out.

In a few seconds, the bathwater became cold as well.

Immediately, Stella turned off the tap. In the dark, she fumbled for a towel and wrapped her hair. Then she put on her clothes slowly and opened the window to peer out.

Sure enough, the electricity was out in the whole community.

Anqiao Street was too old with old infrastructures, so the electricity would always be out from time to time, but mostly it happened during the daytime. It didn’t impact their daily lives too much and the electricity would be back shortly.

This was the first time that it was out at night since Stella moved here.

She walked out of the bathroom, staggered, and finally managed to reach her cell phone on the desk. She turned on the flashlight and walked downstairs.

She remembered that Ms. Anderson mentioned her candles were in a cabinet of the living room.

However, after she had found the candles, Stella found another difficulty.

She didn’t have a lighter.

She had looked through every place but failed to find a lighter.

Stella turned around, looking at the black door of a bedroom. She gave up and heaved a sigh, “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad. Are you sleeping?”

A few seconds later, the door was open. Clarence looked at her expressionlessly, “What do you want?”

“I... The electricity was out. Do you have a lighter? May I borrow it to light the candle, please?”

Clarence said rudely, “Weren’t you sleepy long ago? The electricity is out now. What else do you want to do?”

Since she was asking him for help, Stella answered in a good manner, “I still haven’t finished washing my hair. I need to boil some water and wash hair.”

“How will you boil the water?”

“There’s a coal stove in Ms. Anderson’s house. I saw it last time. I can use it.”

Clarence pressed his lips, “Where is it?”

Stella answered, “It should be in the kitchen. I can’t remember it exactly. I need to look for it.” After a pause, she didn’t forget why she asked him for help, “By the way, Mr. Conrad, could you lend me your lighter please?”

“No, I can’t.”

Stella was angry in silence.

With such an attitude, he must be dreaming to let her remarry him. She cursed him inwardly.

Clarence walked out of his room, took a candle from her hands, and walked directly into the kitchen.

When Stella followed him over, the candle was lit and put on the shelf. The little flame was swaying in the breeze.

Clarence managed to find the coal stove from a pile of things. He cast Stella a glance and asked unhappily, “Why are you here?”

“I...”

“Wait outside.”

Using the candle on the shelf, Stella lit up other candles in her hands. When she left the kitchen, she left Clarence another one out of kindness.

When she walked to the yard, Stella put all the candles on the stone table. Rubbing her hands, she looked up at the sky.

Without the city lights, the moon looked clearer and brighter in the sky.

Shortly after, Stella heard some movements in the kitchen, but she didn’t see Clarence come out for a long time. She waited, but she couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Conrad, do you need any instructions?”
