Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Standing behind the door and peeking at the two men, Stella could feel the awkwardness and uneasiness between them.

However, the scene of her brother and father sitting together was still heart-warming. So she took a picture of it.

Clarence stood behind her, leaning against the door frame, “You still like doing this, don't you?”

She glared at him and gestured to shush him, as she wanted to take more pictures.

Archer's voice sounded, “May I ask what kind of kink is this, that you have to stand here in the middle of the night, at the door of someone who's going to sleep?”

Clarence squinted at him, which made him run back to his room while waving his hand, suggesting that they could stand here as long as they want.

Stella snapped a few more shots and then took Clarence into Archer's room. She said after closing the door, “Could you counsel my brother? I think what you try on me worked quite well.”

Archer said lazily on the couch, “I made those up. It won't trick someone so smart like your brother.”

Stella felt like she had somehow been mocked.

Clarence held her hands, “She didn’t eat much recently. What's wrong?”

Archer said, “It’s quite normal. Pregnant women always feel nauseous and the progestin hormones affects your appetite. It will be better in a while.”

Stella said, “I feel better this time than the last pregnancy. Not as much sick. Everything is fine except my appetite.”

“Some pregnant women are like you, who feel better when having the second baby, whereas some others are the opposite.” Archer changed his position to sit more comfortably, and continued, “This is normal for you at present. I’ve told you there are side effects after taking the herbal soup, but so far it looks fine.”

Stella nodded.

Clarence was dissatisfied, however, “What if she doesn't eat anything?”

Stella turned back to him, “I have eaten something, not nothing. Only sometimes I did have a poor appetite.”
