Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

When they arrived in the suburbia, they chose a place next to a brook. Some of them started to set up tents, and some set up the grills.

Only Clarence and ‘Little Rabbit’ were sitting in the folding chairs aside. One was calm and easy, and the other one widened his eyes, looking around to enjoy the view.

Stella walked over and squatted down next to Clarence. She said crossly, “Mr. Conrad, are you here inspecting?”

Clarence looked at her and answered calmly, “If you could tell me earlier, I would take Nathan here.”

Stella was speechless.

What a shameless man!

Clarence added, “Besides, I am doing something.”

Stella was confused, “What have you done?”

Clarence turned to glance at the boy, who was stilling upright, “If I don’t take care of him, what if he ran away and got lost? How will you explain to his mother in that case?”

“Ho ho.”

Stella wasn’t in the mood to talk to him. She took out a cup of yogurt from her snack bag and gave it to ‘Little Rabbit’. Rubbing his head, she said, “Boy, just sit here and be a good boy. Don’t run around. Probably there would be a lot of bad eggs around here.”

Next to them, Clarence slightly snorted. He disdained how she tried to scare the boy.

‘Little Rabbit’ held the yogurt in his hands and nodded solemnly, “I won’t run around and neither will I make trouble to you.”

Stella smiled. She stood up and said, “Good boy. You can play with this... uncle here. I’ll call you over if the barbecue is ready.”

Clarence asked unhappily, “Why are you treating us so differently?”

Stella gritted her teeth, “Just shut up, Uncle!”

Clarence was speechless.

After Stella was gone, ‘Little Rabbit’ turned to look at Clarence, passing the yogurt in his hands to him. Clarence said indifferently, “It’s for you. I won’t drink it.”
