Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Stella was waiting for Clarence so late that she could barely open her eyes. But she eventually gave up because Clarence still hadn't returned yet.

She heated up the herbal soup, drank it, and then went to sleep.

When she had just gotten in the bed for a while, a sound outside the door woke her up.

Stella slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes.

Clarence entered the bedroom and whispered, “Still awake?”

Stella's voice sounded tired, “I was about to fall asleep. But you came back and the sound woke me up.”

Clarence walked up to her and rubbed her head gently, “Sorry for waking you up. Now you may sleep soundly.”

Stella pouted her mouth, “You haven't told me yet.”

Clarence bit his thin lips slightly. He fell into silence for a while, “What about I tell you tomorrow?”

If he told her everything, she might have trouble falling asleep.

Stella wanted to kick his ass, “Are you fooling around with me on purpose?”

No one could bear the feeling of being kept in suspense, when the truth was one step away.

“You really want to know?”

Stella really wanted to punch him.

She said crossly, “Didn't you say that you will tell me when you come back?”

Clarence didn't say anything, he just took her in his arms.

Stella leaned her head on his chest, waiting quietly without urging.

She didn’t know how long it took. But eventually the man’s low voice sounded, “Do you remember what happened after the death of Joanna Perez?”
