Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Stella had stood in the balcony for an hour, supporting her face with her hands on the rail.

She watched the light snow falling in the air and getting thicker as time went by.

When Sherry finished her shower and went out of the bathroom, she found Stella was still in the same posture and looked at the same direction. Sherry came close to her and looked toward the same direction, “What’s so interesting?”

Stella collected her thoughts and smiled softly, “Nothing.”

Sherry asked, “Are you waiting for someone?”

She continued with a sigh, “What’s wrong with the wretched man? He said he’d see you tonight, but he didn’t show up. If I were you, I would be anxious too.”

Stella, “….”

She defended herself in a low voice, “I’m not thinking about that.”

Sherry doubted, “I don’t believe you.”

Stella looked forward again and took a deep breath, “Emmett told me he likes me yesterday.”

Sherry was cheered up instantly hearing the news, “What did he say? What did he say? No, no, no. You accepted or rejected him?”

Stella shook her head and said slowly, “I should give myself a chance.”

“That’s right. You should have. You shouldn’t stick to Clarence.”

“…not as what you think. I am not ready.”

“You don’t have to get ready. Love always comes in a sudden with no signs.” Sherry said, “Stella, you are thinking too much. Life is short. It is not big deal to have a few romantic relationships without commitments as long as you are happy.”

Stella pressed her lips in silence.

Sherry looked at her, “Stella, actually I know why you are hesitating.”

Stella asked unconsciously, “Why?”

“It’s because you are still in love with Clarence, right?”
