Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 163

Stella didn’t regret anything though. At least, they could keep their pure first love.

Sherry said, “Forget it. Let the bygones be bygones. By the way, we’ll have a college classmates reunion tomorrow. I also told them that you’ll go with me. Let’s go there together.”

Upon hearing that, Stella was taken aback. She said, “But I still have a lot of design drafts...”

“Nothing. You don’t need to get them ready just in one or two days, do you? You might be high inspired when you are relaxed.” Sherry said thoughtfully, “We haven’t reunited with our classmates for a long time. Everyone was asking how you are doing.”

Seeing that Stella was still a bit hesitant, Sherry wrapped her arm, shaking slightly, “Stella, please! I truly would love to go to the reunion!”

Convinced by Sherry’s requests and begs, Stella said with a smile, “Okay. Okay. I’ll go with you.”

She had been quite busy in the past few months and hadn’t had a good rest. It shouldn’t be bad to hang out.

...

Conrad Group.

Within the recent several days, Nathan could feel that the cold and stressed atmosphere accumulated in the CEO’s office. Everyone who entered here held their breath carefully.

Nathan, the person who always went back and forth of the office, felt more bitter than anyone else did. He also felt the stress that he had never felt since he started working.

Clarence signed on a document. Nathan walked up and took it over. He said tentatively, “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad...”

“Go ahead,” Clarence uttered two words in a cold tone.

Nathan continued, “I just got the news - Mr. Jason is going to Switzerland. His plane is taking off in half an hour.”

Clarence’s hand that was holding a pen paused. He raised his head and looked at Nathan coldly, “Do you want me to see him off?”

Nathan coughed to clear his throat, “Mr. Jason won’t come back until at least two years later after he goes to Switzerland.”

Clarence pressed his thin lips. After a few seconds, he asked, “For real?”

“Yes. I’ve confirmed it.”

Clarence didn’t speak. He put down the pen, lost in thought.

Nathan made hay while the sun shined, “Mr. Conrad, you might have misunderstood... Mrs. Conrad shouldn’t be aiming to be together with Mr. Jason by making the engagement between Miss Conrad and him call off. Hence...”

“Then, why did she do it?”

“Mr. Conrad, as you know, Miss Conrad and Mrs. Conrad can’t get along at all. Besides, Miss Conrad’s character is way too... unacceptable for others. In my opinion, there should be two reasons behind it - on one hand, she wanted to revenge on Miss Conrad. On the other hand, Mrs. Conrad owed Mr. Jason favors, so she wanted to pay him back.”

Upon hearing it, Clarence snorted, “She has owed me a lot of favors. Why doesn’t she want to pay me back?

Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, that means you are quite different from Mr. Jason in Mrs. Conrad’s mind.”

Clarence secretly raised his eyebrows, looking less gloomy.

Seeing that, Nathan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

His job was way too difficult.

In the evening, Twilight Club.

Vincent clicked his tongue in surprise, “Holy moly, Clarence, why do you have time to hang out today? In the past few weeks, you seemed to hate drinking a lot.”

Clarence looked down at the glass in his hand and said indifferently, “Horace Jason has gone to Switzerland.”

“I got the news, but I heard that the engagement between the Conrad and the Jason families has been called off. Can Annie agree on it?”

“Justin did it on behalf of the family. Do you think she has any right to say no?”

Vincent was speechless.

He inhaled and asked, “What did you say when giving her the chances?”

Clarence said, “I said I’ll give her the position of Mrs. Conrad. She can do whatever she wants.”

Thinking of Stella’s reply, Clarence looked quite annoyed. He didn’t continue.

Vincent said, “You can’t only use the verbal method to let her know you like her. You must do something actually, making her feel that you like her. Please, don’t ever mention to her that you are giving her a chance. That’s bullshit! You’ll piss her off.”

Clarence pressed his thin lips. Raising his head, he gulped down the wine in his glass and didn’t utter a word.

After a while, Vincent asked, “Does she like you?”

Upon hearing it, Clarence couldn’t help but feel quite annoyed, “How do I know?”

He had tested Stella many times, but she always skipped such a subject.

However, if she didn’t like him, how would he have drawn his portrait in secret? Why would she have cared if Phoebe and he would get married?

After a few seconds, Clarence curled up his lips and said, “But in her heart, I’m quite different from Horace. Otherwise, she wouldn’t want to pay back the favors she owed Horace but never wanted to pay back mine.”

Vincent blurted out, exposing the other possibility that seemed more real, “Well, that’s because she simply doesn’t want to have any connection with you.”

Clarence was silent.

He looked over at Vincent indifferently, but his gaze was cold and sharp.

Nathan, who was waiting for Clarence outside the club, sneezed several times for no reason.

The Chinese New Year would be coming in one month. It was quite chilly.
