Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Sherry bought gifts for Stella, Winnie, Channing, and those employees at the studio.

She took out her phone and looked at the time. It was seven o'clock.

It was almost time to board the plane.

Soon Sherry was on the plane back to City N.

She sat by the window, looked out into the night, and pondering.

She had indeed been hasty this trip.

But then again, something unexpected had happened.

She was a little impulsive but not really regretful.

In that situation, hearing him say those words, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved.

What was more, one was supposed to face his desires head-on. There was nothing to run away from it.

But she also knew very well that even if Daniel liked her, it wouldn't change anything.

She knew he stuck to the non-marriage doctrine and had never felt that she was different from his previous

girlfriends.

Whoever believed in such a thing as letting a womanizer get married was a fool.

Even though she was now rebelling against her family for not getting married, she knew in her heart that she

would, in the end, get married.

So there was no need for her to waste any more extra emotions.

It was enough to be happy for a short while. How nice to keep it simple!

The plane rose into the air and everything drown out by the rumbling engine.

Sherry closed her eyes and drifted into sleep.

...

In City N.

When Clarence arrived home at 8.30 pm, Stella had just come out of the shower.

Clarence raised an eyebrow and stepped forward to wrap his arms around her waist, "You did know I was coming

home?"

Stella pushed against his chest, "Stop it. The food is in the pot for you. Go and eat it yourself. I'm going to bed."

"What time is it?"

"Sherry's flight arrives tomorrow morning at three. I'm going to pick her up."

Clarence was silent for two seconds, "Let Nathan go."

Stella said, "No, I'll go. Nathan doesn't know her very well and it's awkward."

"I'll go then."

Stella was speechless.

She said, "It's more awkward for you to go, okay?"

Clarence said, "I'll go with you."

Stella was about to say something when Clarence said, "Do you think I'll let you drive so far away to the airport in

the middle of the night?"

Hearing his words, Stella choked.

That was true.

Clarence let her go, "Well, go to bed. I'll call you when it's time."

Stella looked at him and thought for a moment before saying, "Why don't... you send someone with me? You should

get some rest."

"That's fine. I can't sleep while you're gone."

Stella could not help but smile at this perfectly normal remark. She did not hurry to go to sleep, but went to the

kitchen to bring out the dishes for him, "You should eat first."

While Clarence was eating, Stella went to her room. She lay down on her bed and prepared for sleep.

But it was so early that she couldn't fall asleep.

When Clarence went in, he saw her tossing and turning in bed.

He walked over to the bed and leaned down to prop himself on the side of her shoulder, then said in a very low

voice, "You couldn't sleep?"

Stella opened her eyes, and she was a little discouraged, "Well ... what time is it?"

"Half-past nine."

It had been an hour since she lied down.

Clarence lifted her quilt and lowered his head to kiss her, "Just stay awake since you can't sleep."

Stella quickly took his hand, "We have to leave at two. There's no time..."

"There's still time. Just once."

Stella was speechless.

The truth was, she could never trust a man's word, especially Clarence's.

By the time they had finished making love, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Clarence asked her, "Can you sleep now?"

"... I'm not sleepy."

"Let’s go on then?"

Stella whispered, "Aren’t you afraid of getting sexhausted ?"

Clarence remained flirtatious. "It's alright. We do this for the baby."

Stella was silent at the mention of it.

She had been taking the medicine for so long, and they had had sex almost every night ...

But there was still no sign of pregnancy.

Although Archer had said that there was no rush in such things.

But... even with all the reassurance she could give herself, she could not be at peace.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Clarence knew what she was thinking and put his arm around her, "Have you

ever thought about the possibility that the reason you're not pregnant is that we haven't tried hard enough? Let's

do it a few more times so the chances are bigger."

Stella didn't bother with him and turned off the light, "I want to sleep!"

It was getting late, and with all the exercise she had just done, Stella soon fell asleep.

But she felt as if Clarence had called her just as she closed her eyes.

Stella rolled over and buried herself in his chest, then muttered, "I want to sleep some more."

Clarence rubbed her head gently, "It's half-past two."

Stella seemed to be too drowsy to answer.

After thirty seconds, she suddenly sat up from Clarence's arms. She felt a little dizzy, "What time did you just say it

was?"

"Half-past two." Clarence pulled her back again, "If you're very sleepy, I'll let Nathan go."

Stella got out of bed as she got dressed, "No need. I'll go by myself."

Just as she was looking around for her underwear, Clarence reached out and handed it over.

Okay…

She took it and put it on quickly.

On the way out, Clarence got her a jacket.

Normally it took forty minutes to go to the airport from home.

At this time of night, there were no people and few cars, so it was just about three o'clock when she arrived.

On the way, Stella couldn't resist and took a nap in the car.

When the car arrived at the airport, Stella yawned and called Sherry, "Sherry, are you out yet?"

Sherry said, "I just got my luggage. I'll be right out."

"Okay, we'll wait for you here in the car park."

"We..." Sherry said tentatively, "Mr. Conrad isn't coming, is he?"

Stella explained, "He said he didn't feel comfortable with me driving alone at night, so... he came."

"It's fine. What an honor it is for me to have Mr. Conrad pick me up himself! I'll be out in a minute!"

Stella smiled, "Take your time."

After hanging up the phone, Clarence lowered the window and asked gently, "I remember she's only gone for a few

days. How come she's back so soon?"

Stella said, "She said she wasn't feeling very well over there and was homesick."

Clarence raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look at her, "You believe what she said?"

Stella cocked her head, "What do you mean?"

Clarence said, "I heard that she and Daniel went to a photography exhibition and didn't come back all night.”

Stella was puzzled. "So she was hiding from Daniel?"

Clarence said, "I'm not sure about that. You'd have to ask her yourself."

Stella paused and suddenly smiled. No wonder Sherry came back all of a sudden.

So it was because of this.
