Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

As soon as she went back home, Sherry went to take a shower.

After that, she nestled on the sofa and picked up her phone.

Brandon messaged her ten minutes ago.

“Sherry, after getting along with you in the past few weeks, I gather you've known me a bit more. I wonder how you think about me. You are a nice girl. I know what we’ve learned about each other so far is not enough for us to get married. However, dating is a procedure to get to know each other. Would you like to progress our relationship to the next stage?

“Sherry, would you be my girlfriend?”

Sherry stared at the message in silence.

She quit the chatbox with Brandon. Then she scrolled to find Daniel’s ID and tapped into it.

She started to scroll and browse their chat log.

After a long while, Sherry took a deep breath and deleted them all.

She tapped open the chatbox with Brandon again and typed “Okay”.

After sending the message, Sherry put down the phone and lay prone on the sofa.

This was gonna be a fresh start, right?

...

Meanwhile, next door.

Stella was sorting clothes. When she took out the clothes from the suitcase, a small toy dropped on the floor.

She put the clothes away, squatted down, and picked up the toy.

Last night, when she was packing, the baby was playing next to her. He must have put it in her suitcase at that time.

Holding the toy, Stella was in a daze. She sat on the floor for a long time before standing up and going to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, she opened a small bag and pulled out a box.
