Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

When Stella reached the workshop, Sherry stood at the entrance while gagging painfully, her face was as pale as a sheet.

Stella approached her and patted her on her back, “Sherry, are you alright?”

Sherry turned towards the source of the voice, said in a weak tone, “Ah, you’re here, Stella. I’m fine, I’ve gotten used to it for the past two days.”

“Let’s go inside first.”

As they entered the office, Stella poured Sherry a cup of water and asked, “Have you been throwing up a lot these two days?”

Sherry slumped over on the desk and said, “I can’t even eat anything. It’ll just go back out the same way it got in.”

She let out a long sigh as she said that. A while later, she added, “Now I finally know how you felt back when you’re pregnant, this absolutely sucks. I swear I don’t want to have a baby ever again after this .”

Stella smiled, sat opposite from her and said, “It’s true that the early days of pregnancy does kinda suck, but you’ll feel different as the baby in your womb grows bigger.”

Sherry drank some water and replied, “Whatever, I won’t be experiencing that ‘different’ experience. I can’t wait for half a month to pass, then this whole ordeal will be over.”

Stella was stunned for a while, before she asked, “Did…You tell Daniel about this?”

“I did. He said he’ll need some time to think it through. My guess is he’s startled by this,” said Sherry, “He’s a man, after all. They only say surface-level stuff, since his words definitely have a meaning behind them. I don’t really care that much, as this little incident will come to an end half a month later.”

Stella pursed her lips as she heard what Sherry said, not judging her.

This was between the two of them, Stella should not have a hand in it, anyway. So, all she could do was wait and see what happens next.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore,” said Sherry, “Am I right at assuming that you’ve settled everything with the Steward Group, since you’re here at the workshop today?”

Stella nodded before replying, “The project is on-going now, and there’s no incidents so far. It’s just that I don’t really understand the business side of things very well, so I have Donald helping me with that.”
