Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Stella said, “Correct.”

Sherry replied, “You got it, I’ll start packing them up for you.”

When Stella finished changing, Sherry had already finished stuffing all of the jewellery in a box.

Stella, now wearing sweater pants and a fur coat, carried the box and said, “Much obliged, Sherry. I’m gonna go down and give this to him.”

Sherry sighed, walked to the study, leaned out the window and looked downwards.

Just as she expected, a familiar Rolls-Royce was right there.

In said Rolls-Royce, Clarence tapped his knees with his fingers, and asked Nathan Lance, “Say, what she will gift me?”

Nathan did not reply immediately.

His answer to that question could very easily piss off Clarence. Nathan tested the waters by answering, “Could it be that Mrs. Conrad had gotten her hands on the custom made necklace?”

Clarence frowned; he seemed to be unsatisfied with Nathan’s answer.

He replied, “Don’t you think that it’s too early for the necklace to be completed?”

Nathan matched his statement and said, “It won’t be that quick, you’re right. It’s probably something else.”

Clarence did not say anything after that, and waited patiently for Stella.

Ten minutes later, Stella ran towards the car with a cardboard box in her hands.

She tapped on the car window to alert its occupants.

Just as Clarence lowered the windows and before he could say anything, Stella gave him the cardboard box.

She said, “I’m sorry for taking so much of your time, Mr. Conrad. You guys can leave now.”

Clarence looked at the box and asked, “What is this?”

Stella gave him a sweet smile, waved to him before turning around and leaving.

When Clarence saw the contents of the box, his expression changed.

He immediately yelled, “Stella!!”
