Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 33

Stella’s entire body stiffened. He knew already…

Clarence’s eyes narrowed dangerously. He lowered his voice and every word he said was apparently wrapped in frost as the words were abnormally cold, “Stella, if you want to get married, you use all means to get married. When you want to divorce, you always have ways to divorce. Seeing me being cheated by you again and again, you are having a strong sense of accomplishment, right?”

Stella lowered her head, “Sorry, I’ve never thought of it that way, I just…”

“Just because Horace has come back so you think you guys can be together again?”

“Huh?”

Clarence sat with his long legs crossed and his expression did not change, “Stella, you’re indeed thinking of it in a too ideal way. Do you think the Jason family will allow him to marry a divorced woman.”

Before Stella regained her presence of mind from his last question, she heard him giving her personal abuse again. She sneered twice, “I don’t quite understand what Mr. Conrad means. What’s wrong with a divorced woman, divorced woman should be looked down upon, is it? Then how can a divorced man be so shameless in which he is eating the food in the bowl but he is also looking at the food in the pot.”

Clarence was speechless.

“Stella, do you dare to say it again?”

Stella was not foolish so she did not intend to argue with him head-on. She blinked innocently, “Of course, I’m certainly not referring to Mr. Conrad, I’m just giving an example.”

Clarence pursed his lips as if he was suppressing his anger.

Stella added, “Is that what Mr. Conrad wants to ask?”

Clarence asked rhetorically, “If not, what can it be.”

“Then can Mr. Conrad leave since you’ve finished asking, I’m a little sleepy.”

This wretched man was indeed asking strange questions. They had divorced for so long already. Could it be that he still wanted to throw mud at her.

He was so odd.

After Stella finished speaking, she was a bit baffled by his expressionless gaze. When she was about to turn her eyes away, he leaned down and pinched her jaw, warning in a low voice, “Stella, don’t think of yourself as too smart. I don’t bother with the things done by you before because I don’t have that free time. If you really want to treat me like a fool, try it then.”

Without waiting for Stella’s response, he coldly released her and left straight away.

Stella lay on the bed again, wondering what had she done that had offended him again.

But the two million yuan she owed him was finally paid off within the stipulated time so she could breathe a sigh of relief.

Stella held the phone in her hand and tapped on Clarence’s avatar. She tapped the delete button almost without any hesitation.

All the grudges should have been cleared up. So, she would just let bygones be bygones.

Stella put down her phone and slept with her head being covered.

The next morning, the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Channing sitting by the window while reading a book.

Stella said, “Chan, why are you here?”

Channing turned his head to look at her, “Sherry told me that you’re sick so I come to take care of you.”

“It isn’t a big deal.” Stella sat up, “Don’t you have a part-time job, quickly go now. Don’t need to accompany me here.”

“I’m on the late shift today. I’ll leave when Sherry comes.”

Stella pressed her eyebrows. She knew Channing was stubborn so she did not ask him to leave anymore.

Channing helped her to go to the washroom to get herself washed, “I’ll wait for you outside, tell me when you’re ready.”

“Alright.”

Stella unpacked the toothbrush and toothpaste that Sherry bought yesterday. When she looked up, she found that the corner of her lips had somehow broken and it had already scabbed.

She remembered with hindsight that no wonder she always felt pain in the corner of her mouth when she had porridge last night.

But after thinking about it for a long time, she still could not figure out how did this wound form so she could only think of it as an accident.

Channing had bought breakfast on the way here. When Stella went out to eat at this moment, its temperature was just nice.

The nurse came to check on her just after she finished eating. The nurse asked her if she was uncomfortable and then carefully advised her to stay in the bed for the next few days to recuperate. If it

was not a necessary activity like going to the washroom, it was better that she did not get out of the bed at all.

When the nurse was giving her intravenous injection, Channing looked at the medicine bottle several times and frowned vaguely.

When the nurse left, there were only two of them left in the ward.

Channing suddenly asked, “Are you pregnant?”

“How do you…”

Stella almost forgot that Channing was not only a science student but also a brainiac.

Those medicines that the nurse helped her to inject had the effect of preventing miscarriage. He could guess it with just a glance.

Stella was silent for a few seconds before nodding her head.

“He divorced you even though you were pregnant? I’ll go to find him!”

After Channing took a step, he was pulled by Stella. She said slowly, “Chan, I was the one who talked about divorce first. I didn’t tell Clarence about my pregnancy, I don’t want to let him know.”

Channing asked, “Have you decided to give birth to this child?”

Stella nodded slightly, “Yeah, I’ll raise it myself after I give birth to it.”

Channing did not know what to say for a moment.

After a while, Channing said again, “Has Jeffrey asked you for money during this period.”

“No, what’s wrong?”

Channing shook his head, “I feel that he’s a bit strange.”

Previously, Jeffrey was always hanging out in casinos and mah-jong parlours every day. He was often being asked to pay debts and he always looked drunk, totally not like a proper person.

But, it seemed like he had made a fortune recently. He did not go to casinos and did not drink anymore. His hair was combed properly and there was a briefcase in his arms. He was dressed up in a manner that totally did not suit his previous behaviours.

When Channing went back to get clothes yesterday, he directly threw a stack of money on the table, “Chan, Dad is rich now. You go and buy some branded clothes to wear, don’t make me and your elder sister feel ashamed.”

Channing did not bother him and left after taking the things.

Channing said, “He also bought a car of more than five hundred thousand yuan. I’ve gone to ask, he has paid in full.”

Stella frowned, “Where did he get that much money?”

“Did he go to borrow money from loan sharks again.”

Stella pursed her lips. It was possible.

Before knowing that Jeffrey owed loan sharks one million yuan, he was also spending lavishly like this for quite a while. A lot of food and drinks were at home but it was not as exaggerated as this time.

How much money did he borrow?

Stella said, “Chan, you go back today and pack up all your things and move out. Don’t go back anymore.”

Channing nodded. He had planned to leave Jeffrey completely after going to college. These two months, he had moved out a lot of things gradually.

Sherry came in the afternoon.

When Channing left, he told Stella that he would come over after his evening shift.

During this period, Jeffrey was not normal so he was afraid that Jeffrey would run away like last time when owing loan sharks which caused those people to go to find Stella.

Sherry brought Stella good news. After the show yesterday, Vivian almost left in a depressed mood. She originally suggested adding the session of giving speech upon receiving awards but without any sign, it was cancelled. This became a joke that was known by everyone but could not be discussed.

Stella said, “Anyway, Clarence has spent so many resources to support her. The show this time is just a form of declaration to the public. What should be given to her will still be given to her.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
