Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Elaine yawned, leaned back on the couch, slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When Darnell got back to the office, Elaine was curled up on the couch.

He glanced back and the assistant immediately behind him said, "It was Ariel who brought her here."

Darnell looked back at her and walked toward her.

The assistant silently left and closed the door behind her.

Darnell walked up to Elaine, pulled on his tie with one hand, sat down on the coffee table behind him, and looked at her without saying a word.

Elaine didn't know how long she had slept. Feeling a little cold, she reached out to pull the quilt in her sleep, but didn't feel anything.

Elaine thought the quilt had fallen to the ground, and then she leaned out half of her body, her hands fumbling on the ground.

Just as she was about to fall, Darnell finally got tired of watching and reached out and took her arm.

Elaine lifted her head, looked at him with bleary-eyed, and muttered, "Am I dreaming again?"

Darnell said, "Elaine, how could you fall asleep here like it's your home?"

Elaine sat up slowly, waking up.

She was in his office.

Elaine whispered, "I fell asleep... My Head is spinning..."

Darnell bent his finger and tapped her between the eyes. "Are you awake yet?"

Elaine felt some pain, lifted her hand and rubbed it, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Darnell retracted his hand and said, "Why are you running around when you should be in the hospital?"

Elaine slowly opened her palm, and the exquisite cufflink was visible.

"This," she said, "is yours."

Darnell glanced down and didn't say anything.

When he took her to the hospital that day, she held his hand tightly, and finally she took the cuff link.
