Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Clarence was thrown out of the room and locked outside after the kiss.

He tapped on the door and reasoned, “Can you be reasonable and let me in?”

Stella replied immediately, “Don’t you know that I’ve always been unreasonable?”

Clarence touched his lips as he savored the kiss and returned to the sofa with a wide grin on his face. Stella on the other hand lay on the bed. She started to yawn as the medicine began to take effect. She covered herself with the blanket and slowly fell asleep.

Later on in the night, she was woken by the thunderclaps. Stella sat on the bed and listened to the pitter-pattering of the rain. Occasionally she could feel a cold breeze blowing through the room.

She then remembered that the blanket that she took for Clarence was rather thin and started to worry that his cold would worsen… When that happened, she would be the one to suffer. Stella got out of bed and started to look for a thicker blanket for him.

She gently opened the door and saw that Clarence was still working. Stella placed the blanket beside him and said, “Have you regained your conscience after resting two days at home?”

Clarence closed his laptop and answered, “I’m just making good use of my time.”

Stella reached for the thermometer to check his temperature. His body temperature was normal and did not have a fever anymore.

“You’re fine. Sleep now. You should have recovered by tomorrow.” Stella said.

Clarence replied, “I don’t think I’ll ever recover.”

Stella placed the thermometer down and asked, “Do you intend to sleep with your hair wet?”

“That’s because I tried to borrow the hairdryer but you didn’t give it to me,” Clarence answered.

“Are you implying that I’m trying to make you fall sick?” Stella retorted.

“That’s not what I meant.” Clarence looked outside and continued, “It’s rather cold.”

“I brought out another blanket for you,” Stella said.

“I want to go into the bedroom.” Clarence requested.

Stella scoffed, “Sweet dreams.”
