Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

After hanging up the phone, Stella exhaled and went back to the living room.

Sherry asked, “How did it go? What did the wretched man say?”

Stella nestled on the sofa and said in depression, “He asked me to be his date and attend an event with him this weekend.”

“But don’t you have...”

“That’s why I said no.”

Sherry thought for a moment and approached her, “Stella, have you noticed that Clarence Conrad is quite abnormal recently?”

Stella sneered, “He’s not only abnormal but also he wanted to torture me more.”

“Do you think he’s torturing you?”

Stella looked quite exhausted. She answered in a weak tone, “Or what?”

Sherry concluded, “Don’t you think what he has done recently was like an elementary school student who doesn’t know how to express his love? He always tries silly ways to attract the attention of the girl he has a crush on.”

Stella choked up.

After a moment of silence, she raised her hand and covered Sherry’s forehead. Then she covered her own with the other hand. Frowning, she said, “You are not on fever.”

“Come on.” Sherry pulled her hand away, “I’m serious. Hasn’t the wretched man admitted that he likes you before? I believe this is quite possible.”

Stella nestled back on the sofa again. She said in a flat tone, “For a man like him, nothing is different if he truly likes me. It could be ignored and has no actual meaning at all.”

Sherry sighed. Her words did make sense.

After a while, Sherry took the garbage sacks and went out to toss them.

In five minutes, she ran back excitedly, “Stella! Oh, my gosh! Stella!”

Stella asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Remember the mixed-raced handsome guy we saw the other night? I saw him again just now. Guess what? He’s our new neighbor next door.”

Sherry said while trotting towards the bathroom, “Wait! I need to have my hair washed. I’ll put on the makeup. I must
