Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 75

On the second day, when Stella opened her eyes, Clarence wasn’t seen in the room.

A servant knocked at the door, “Good morning, Mrs. Conrad. Are you awake?”

Stella rubbed her temples and sat up. Her voice was a bit hoarse, “Yes.”

Shortly, the servant walked in, “Good morning, Mrs. Conrad. The breakfast is ready. Would you like to have it here or downstairs?”

“I’ll go downstairs.”

“Okay,” the servant answered.

Then she turned around and left.

Stella sat on the bed for a while and waited until her strength recovered. She couldn’t put on the clothes that she was wearing the previous day, so she took another outfit from the closet.

When she sat at the dining table, the servant served breakfast to her. Seeing that she looked quite exhausted, the servant asked in a low voice, “Mrs. Conrad, are you feeling not well?”

Stella shook her head, “I just felt a bit dizzy. Nothing much.”

The servant said again, “Before Mr. Conrad left, he asked me to accompany you for a checkup in the hospital. When would you like to go there, Mrs. Conrad?”

Stella wanted to hear “the hospital” the least. She paused her hands that were holding the tableware. After a long while, she asked, “Where is he?”

“Mr. Conrad is on a business trip. He won’t come back until a week later.”

“On a business trip?”

Stella didn’t understand why Clarence was doing so for a moment. Didn’t he say he would take her to the hospital today? Or he didn’t think it’s a big matter for him at all, so he just picked up someone at random to take her there.

The servant nodded, “Yes, Mrs. Conrad. Mr. Conrad also asked me to take good care of you when he’s away.”

Stella pressed her lips and didn’t utter a word. Inwardly, she disdained his words “take good care”, which sounded so considerate. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

However, she couldn’t help cursing the wretched man - how could he be so heartless? Even he didn’t want the baby, he wouldn’t have done so if he was a man with a little responsibility.

He could just sit and watch the whole procedure without being bloodstained. He even went on a business trip. After he came back, everything would be over, and he wouldn’t feel any hurt in his conscience.

Stella had to admit that he was way too ruthless.

She chewed the food in her mouth violently and smashed the knife and fork onto the table.

The servant was shocked, “Mrs. Conrad?”

Stella inhaled deeply, “I’m full now.”

“Okay. Mrs. Conrad, please wait for a second. I’ll do the dishes and accompany you to the hospital.”

Stella looked out of the house, only to find a driver waiting for her there long ago.

It seemed that she couldn’t escape at all.

She could only nod in agreement, “All right.”

On the way to the hospital, Stella looked out of the window in silence.

It turned out that Clarence had told the truth - having sex and falling in love were two completely different matters.

Last night, she was enlightened by an idea somehow, so she thought probably she could save the baby. She had thought that she would discuss with him nicely again this morning, but she hadn’t expected that the wretched man would become so heartless after it ended. He even didn’t give her a chance to regret it. He went on a business.

The servant only knew that Clarence asked her to accompany Stella to do a checkup in the hospital, but she wasn’t sure what was wrong with Stella. When they arrived at the hospital, she asked, “Excuse me, Mrs. Conrad. Which department shall we go to?”

Stella was looking around, trying to get a method to escape. She answered at random, “Whatever.”

The servant recalled that Stella had said that she had a headache, so she wondered if Stella had caught a cold. She then registered in a common department of outpatients.

After that, when they approached the door of the doctor’s office, Stella suddenly stopped. She said calmly, “I want to use the bathroom very quickly. Please wait for me here.”

The servant nodded, “Okay, Mrs. Conrad.”

Stella walked into the restroom and peered out for a moment. After confirming that nobody was following her, she immediately left in another direction.

After getting out of the backdoor of the hospital, she hailed a taxi and told the driver her apartment address.

Sitting in the car, Stella opened the car window and breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn’t expect that Clarence didn’t guard against her, and she could escape so easily. It seemed that he didn’t think she had any reason to keep the baby.

However, it was better. At least, she had a chance to escape.

Back to her apartment, Stella packed up a suitcase simply and decided to find a place to hide for the time being.

Without telling anyone, she found a station that the ID card wasn’t required and took a shabby bus. Then she went to another city.

On the other side, the servant had been waiting in front of the doctor’s office for half an hour, and then she sensed something wrong. When she was about to look for Stella, she was gone already.

The servant was so confused - wasn’t Mrs. Conrad going to have a checkup? Why would she be so afraid of the doctor that she escaped?

...

Nine o’clock in the evening, London time.

Clarence stood in front of the French window. He received a call from City N, “Hello, Mr. Conrad. Mrs. Conrad is missing...”

The servant reported to Clarence about how she had accompanied Stella to the hospital for a check- up, Stella had made an excuse to use the bathroom, and then she had disappeared.

Clarence didn’t seem to be surprised at all. He said in a flat tone, “I see.”

After hanging up the phone, Clarence put his cell phone into the pocket. Looking out of the window, he was lost in thought, his eyes quite calm.

Half an hour later, his phone vibrated. It was a WeChat message from Stella.

“Mr. Conrad, you said that I don’t have any reason to keep this baby. I have to admit that I truly don’t. However, as a mother, I don’t have the reason to abandon the baby either. I promise that I’ll vanish with this child forever. I will never let his existence bother you.”

Clarence took a glance and replied to her with a few words, “Up to you.”

Soon, a message bounced back.

“The other party has enabled the friend verification, and you are not his friend yet. Please send the friend verification request first. The conversation can only be started after the other party has passed the verification.”

Clarence was speechless.

His temples popped. Closing his eyes, he inhaled deeply. He tossed away his cell phone on the sofa beside him and suddenly became helpless.

Shortly, his phone rang again. It was a call from Vincent.

“We’re all set. Although Antonio Lewis didn’t complain about it for the sake of you, I can tell that he was quite upset.”

“Arrange his son to study abroad. After I go back, I’ll talk about the business cooperation with him.”

Vincent clicked his tongue. He swallowed some words when they reached the tip of his tongue. He couldn’t understand Clarence at all. It was fine that he didn’t comment on anything that Clarence had

done for Stella. However, if he raised any topic about her, Clarence would do a lot of things to prove that he didn’t like her at all.

After a pause, Clarence added, “Check where Stella has gone to and send someone to protect her in secret. Don’t let her notice it.”

“Okay. I got it.”

Right then, there was a knock on the door. Nathan walked in, “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence hung up the phone, “What happened?”

Nathan answered, “Your father recently has contacted all the directors, aiming to let the Jason family get into the board of directors.”

Since it was the critical moment of seizing the power, Clarence flew to London now, which provide them with an excellent opportunity.

Clarence asked indifferently, “Anyone agreed?”

“Currently, three directors are taking your father’s side. Others are still watching. Mr. Conrad, shall we fly back?”
