Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again

Stella was not going to waste her time on arguing with him, so she talked back immediately, “Never mind if you don’t want to tell me.”

Clarence grabbed her shoulders and asked word by word, “Stella, do you like Emmett?”

“…” Stella frowned, “What a weird question.”

“Just answer me.”

Stella answered after a while, “No.”

Clarence tightened his grasp and asked again in a soft and low voice, “Then do you like me?”

“You stopped me here for asking these boring questions?”

“How could they be boring?”

Stella raised her voice, “They are totally boring! And, I have been wondering why did you come to my party with my friends. Don’t you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable?”

“Not at all.”

“But Mr. Conrad, have you found that everyone else was upset by your present?”

Clarence responded in an unemotional voice, “I don’t care others’ opinions. I only care you.”

Hearing his words, Stella couldn’t help laughing, “Mr. Conrad is serious?”

“Yes.”

“If Mr. Conrad really cares what I think, haven’t you figured out that I hate you? Your appearance upset not only my friends, but also me ….”

Clarence interrupted her, “Stella, this is your answer?”

“What ….”

Stella realized what did he mean as soon as she uttered the first word.

He referred to the question that if she liked him.

Stella looked at him calmly, “I thought you knew the answer.”

Clarence asked, “Now that you hate me, why did you help me today?”
