Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

The next day, after finalizing the house Stella wanted to rent, she moved into the house with the little

luggage she had.

Sherry and Channing did not let her clean up the house and asked her to just sit and rest.

Stella lay on the sofa. She ordered afternoon tea for them while thinking that she was still quite happy

actually.

The child would be taken care of well as he or she had such a good godmother and uncle.

She lowered her head while thinking of the child and put her hand on her belly lightly. She wasn’t sure

whether she grew fatter recently, or the child had grown up. Her belly turned slightly bigger.

Sherry had to work that afternoon so she only could ask for a two-hour leave. She bought Stella a

bunch of groceries, “Stella, I can’t take care of you anymore, so you must take good care of yourself.

Don’t get starved.”

Channing came out of the kitchen, “I will take care of my sister.”

Stella laughed, “Don’t be like that. I am not a child. Don’t worry about me so much.”

“You’re not a child but there is a baby in your belly,” Sherry said. She came closer to her belly, “Baby,

be obedient. Don’t torment your mother, or else I will beat your little ass when you are born.”

Not long after Sherry left, Stella said, “You also go back first. I can clean up the rest myself.

“No,” Channing said. “I’ll stay here with you for a few days, and I will leave after you are familiar with

the surroundings.”

Stella couldn’t help but smile, “Do you really want to treat me like a child? I am your sister.”

Channing replied to her seriously, “I will only stay here for a few days so that people know that there is

a man at your home and will not look at you like a girl living alone and bully you.”

Stella who was smiling froze for a moment, and she did not reject his kindness, “Then I’ll buy a single

bed for you. Then later you can come and live here.”

“No need, I can sleep on the sofa.”

Channing said and went out to throw the rubbish in the house, “I will go back to get some clothes. Do

you want to eat anything? I will help you to buy and bring it back.”

….

After one month.

“Phoebe, sorry to trouble you that every time I ask you to accompany me here.”

Phoebe held Rebecca's arm and laughed softly, “Rebecca, that’s alright. I am staying at home alone

also, so it’s good for me to accompany you out for a walk to take a break.”

Rebecca sighed, “Horace has been unhappy with the family because of the marriage with the Conrad

family. We should have known this earlier and shouldn’t have agreed to the marriage. Look at the

miserable situation now. The Conrad family doesn’t like us, and Horace is not happy. Both sides are not

pleased.”

“Rebecca, you misunderstood. Clarence is not unhappy with you all. He just…”

Rebecca suddenly lowered his voice when Phoebe was talking, “Phoebe, there is something I wanted

to ask you a long time ago. I heard rumors that Clarence is not the biological child of Mrs. Conrad, but

an illegitimate child of Mr. Dempsey. Since you always went to their house when you were small, do

you know whether it is true?”

Clarence was taken back to the Conrad family when he was seven years old, and the Conrad family

claimed that he was born in poor health and had been recovering abroad, plus Mr. Dempsey used

some tactics, so after this, no one talked about it anymore.

Also, the gap between the time in which Clarence was taken back to the Conrad family and the time in

which Justin became disabled after having an accident and could not inherit the company was only two

months.

If the previous statements were only rumors, then the quarrelling scene she saw at the house of the

Conrad’s family would make her suspect more.

Phoebe smiled apologetically, “I never heard of this story before. Rebecca, don’t think too much. It also

makes sense that Clarence disagrees with the marriage between Horace and Annie. You also know

that Annie is notoriously arrogant. What if she becomes more arrogant after she marries Horace, then it

will become a problem of two families, and two companies.”

“Clarence always dislikes making himself in trouble, plus Annie is only his cousin. He is definitely not

willing to go help her with these things.”

Rebecca agreed with what she said and said helplessly, “I don’t like Annie either, but my father thinks it

is a good opportunity to have intermarriage with the Conrad family. My father was very angry with how

Clarence acted last time, and I guess the intermarriage will not happen in the end.”

Phoebe nodded, “Horace is so outstanding and there must be many girls who like him. He surely can

find someone better than Ann…”

Before Phoebe finished her sentence, she suddenly saw a familiar figure at the entrance.

“What’s wrong?”

Phoebe averted her eyes, “I think I saw a… friend.”

“Friend?” Rebecca also turned her sight to where Phoebe was looking, but she only saw an unfamiliar

face. She asked, “Did your friend also come here for an antenatal examination?”

“What?”

“Don’t they all come here for an antenatal examination? How long has your friend been pregnant? Do

you want me to refer her to my doctor?”

Phoebe shook her head. She took Rebecca’s arm and walked out, “No need, I think I saw the wrong

person. Rebecca, let’s go.”

She was not wrong. The person just now had to be Stella.

Even if she had only seen her photo, but she was sure that the woman was Stella as she could not

forget her look.

Phoebe stopped walking when they reached where the car was parked, “Rebecca, I suddenly

remember that I have something to do, so I won’t go back with you now.”

“Okay…where are you going? I’ll let the driver give you a ride.”

“No need, the place I want to go is just around here.”

After they separated, Phoebe went back to the hospital. She saw Stella coming out of the doctor’s

office when she walked to the obstetrics department.

Furthermore, Stella was holding the same book as Rebecca, which was to record information of the

antenatal examination.

Looking at Stella’s back, Phoebe furrowed her thin eyebrows gently.

…

Stella received a call from Stanford after she had just left the hospital.

A customer had gone to the office of SG Jewelry Magazine and wanted to customize a type of

jewellery. He had named her as the one to design the jewellery.

Stella said, “I’ll be right there.”

After the first model of the ‘Puppy Love’ series had been introduced by SG Jewelry Magazine, every

series which was introduced by SG Jewelry Magazine later were popular and received rave reviews.

During this period, many magazine publishers have come to ask Stella to work with them, including

many famous jewellery brands, but she rejected them all.

Stanford was the one who knew her talent and took the risk to sign her when she had nothing and

needed to gain her recognition the most. Therefore, she would not leave SG Jewelry Magazine during

this time.

At the office of SG Jewelry Magazine…

Stanford explained to Stella briefly when he brought her to the VIP lounge, “Although we did not

receive any customization of jewellery before, the purpose that SG Jewelry Magazine intended to do its

independent brand is to develop the company in multiple aspects. But don’t worry, you will be dealing

with high-end clients to customize the jewellery.”

In short, the advantages of doing so were that both SG Jewelry Magazine and her could make

themselves famous and reputable in the circle of high-end customers, and also got a very high

monetary reward.

Stella nodded, “I will do it properly.”

When they reached the door of the conference rooms, Stanford reached out and knocked on the door.

Then, he pushed open the door, “Mr. Conrad, our designer has arrived.”

When the person inside turned around, the smile on Stella’s face stiffened subconsciously.

How come… it was him?
