Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

It was almost midnight by the time Stella arrived home and the baby was already asleep.

"Are you doing fine? You worked till late on the first day," Madison asked as she yawned.

"Something was up, I won't be this late tomorrow," Stella replied.

"Yeah I know, my husband called and told me about what happened at your office, I'm not complaining." Madison picked up her stuff, "I shall leave now, see you tomorrow."

Stella went into the bedroom to have a look at the baby soon as Madison left. All worries and stresses vanished at that moment.

Sherry came from next door at this moment, "You are back, Stella."

"You are still awake?" Stella asked as she nodded.

"I went back for a shower," she sat on the sofa, "Madison is such a nagger but she is good at taking care of the baby. The baby kept crying after you left in the morning while Madison had been trying to calm him down the whole day, patiently. She wasn't annoyed at all."

Stella was stunned when hearing that and automatically looked at the baby in the bedroom, "He cried?"

Realizing she said something wrong, Sherry let out a laugh, "It's nothing really, maybe he wasn't used to not having you around at first, but he was fine right after that, not crying."

Stella remained silent for a while before she asked, "Daniel is not home yet?"

Sherry leaned on the sofa, "He called thirty minutes ago saying he'll be here tomorrow morning. It's good that he is not coming, I could have some leisure time alone."

"Do you really mean it?" Stella smiled lightly.

"Of course… I mean it. You don't know how stressful I feel having him monitoring me like a criminal every day."

Stella sat next to her, "What is happening between you two now?"

A lot had happened in these few days and she didn't even have time to ask.

Sherry sighed, "He asked me to keep the baby and promised to take good care of me. This is it and we will talk about the rest in the future. It's no big deal. I can give birth and raise the child on my own like you. It makes no difference with or without him."

She had given it a thorough thought at the hospital last time and decided she couldn't abort the baby. Especially when she saw Stella's son these days, crawling and playing around, she began looking forward to the arrival of her own kid.
