Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 67

Phoebe seemed to think of something, “I remember that your cousin Clarence doesn’t like her, right?”

“Yeah, but I don’t know what’s wrong with him recently. He warned me not to go hard with her several days ago.”

Phoebe picked up a glass of wine and said nonchalantly, “Maybe it’s because she’s pregnant.”

Annie widened her eyes, “What? But she…”

Phoebe said in a gentle voice, “I saw her in the hospital before and it seemed like she was here to have a pregnancy inspection. I asked her tentatively for several times later and I guessed that she’s probably pregnant. Annie, don’t tell others about this. I know that she has divorced Clarence, but so far and don’t know who the father of the child in her belly is…”

Phoebe’s words were so euphemistic, but she explicitly expressed the key information. Hatred towards Stella immediately appeared in Annie’s eyes.

That shameless woman had been pestering Horace recently and she showed up in this banquet out of the blue today. Annie guessed that Stella was probably planning to threat Horace to marry her with the child in her belly. She would not allow this to happen.

Annie turned around indignantly and went to find Stella.

Looking at her back, Phoebe slowly finished the wine in the glass.

On the other side, Stella was still waiting for Sherry’s message. She became more and more flustered and uneasy.

She suddenly heard someone shouting at her, “You, come here, clear this place.”

Stella looked over following the sound and found the red spills on the ground. She guessed that maybe a child was playing there before and accidently knocked over the glass.

Seeing that Stella was still motionless, the man shouted again, “Are you dumb? Do you know how distinguished the guests of today’s banquet are? If one of them falls down because of this, will you be held responsible?”

Horace’s voice suddenly sounded.

The man, who was so cocky and overbearing just now, immediately changed his attitude when he saw Horace. He walked over to greet Horace, “Mr. Jason, I’ve been admiring you. I’m…”

Horace looked askance at him, but the gentleness that he always wore disappeared. He pulled Stella out of the lobby.

They stopped beside a swimming pool. Horace asked, “Stella, how comes that you’re here?”

Stella replied, “For some matters.”

She paused and then asked, “Are you going to engage with Annie?”

Horace was amused, “Clarence told you about that?”

He shifted his gaze to the other place when speaking. After a long while, he finally replied, “For me, if I can’t marry the girl I like, I will not care a scrap about which woman I’m going to marry in the future.”

Stella was lost for words, “Horace…”

If the one he engaged was the other person, she would send her sincere blessing to them as she regarded Horace as her friend. But since Stella was so clear of Annie’s personality, so no matter what, she hoped that Horace could consider it carefully.

Horace said, “Stella, you don’t need to blame yourself. I only knew about this last night. It was not Annie who insisted on engaging with me, it was the Jason family that calls for the commercial marriage with the Conrad Group.”

Stella suddenly didn’t know what to say. It was true. Did feelings matter in front of a commercial cooperation worthy of hundreds of millions of RMB?

Rich families seemed to be glory on the surface, but it was indeed a cruel place.

“Stella, I hope you can marry the one you like and I hope that he will also love you.”

He and Stella were the same. They missed the opportunity to be with each other again and again.

Horace often thought that if he was not that composed and reasonable and confessed to Stella before, maybe things would be totally different today.

After a long while, Stella gave him a light smile, “Maybe this will never happen.”
