Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

After listening to the whole story, Stella’s mind went blank for a few seconds. She then said, “This matter should have been kept under wraps. Moreover, so many years have passed so nobody would mention it again. How did Mr. William…know about this?”

Just when she asked this question, the waiter brought the beverages to their table.

William smiled faintly and did not answer her question. He raised the cup and took a sip of his coffee.

Clarence said calmly, “Mr. William used to live in City N.”

His words reminded Stella.

This incident happened more than twenty years ago. It was most likely that William knew about it at that time.

Even if this incident happened more than twenty years ago, it would not be announced to the public. The only ones who were aware of it were either people who were related to it or people who knew them.

Which one of it was William?

But at least, the fact that William knew the incident in such detail confirmed that his identity was definitely not simple at that time.

Just when Stella was lost in thought, Clarence spoke again, “But I am also quite curious about how Mr. William would know so many details.”

William put down his coffee cup and slowly said, “It was because my wife and Mrs. Barton were considered as friends. My wife learned about her fake pregnancy by chance. When I heard people mentioning about a few bits and pieces of the incident, I simply guessed the rest of it after that.”

Clarence replied, “Unexpectedly, Mr. William’s guess is quite accurate.”

“I can only say that I am quite lucky.”

Listening to their conversation, Stella was quite confused, “Then…since Aurora’s biological mother had left the Barton family for such a long time, why would she suddenly come back? Furthermore, she chose to show herself on a day like today. I don’t think that she is a stupid person and should have known that her appearance this time would have serious effects on Aurora.”

William looked into the distance and there were no emotions on his face, “Maybe it was only a coincidence.”

Clarence said slowly in a steady pace, “Mr. William is right. If she didn’t scheme against you, she might not have the chance to know that her real mother is someone else in her life, and perhaps there would be no such coincidence.”

After listening to that, Stella was even more confused. Was that how a coincidence was originally explained?
