Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Darnell leaned down and placed Elaine on the bed when they reached the guest bedroom.

She didn't know where she got the guts to suddenly tighten her arms around his neck and refused to let go.

Darnell was silent for seconds and whispered, "Let go."

"No. You don't have a girlfriend anyway, so why can't I?"

Darnell was surprisingly calm and patient, "Think about why they sent you to Switzerland. That's the answer."

"That's because you kept rejecting me. If you had said yes, they wouldn't have..."

"I told you I have no love chemistry with you."

Elaine was sad. "I know I'm not your type, but I'm willing to change for you. Whether you like sexy or alluring, I can..."

"You don't have to make any changes. You're fine as you are. It's not worth it for me."

"But I like you, really."

"Your feeling is normal for you at your age now, but I am not the right person and cannot respond to you. You will meet someone you like more."

"What if I won't?"

"It will happen."

"You're not me, so how can you be so sure?"

Darnell gently raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you like Clarence once?"

Elaine said nothing.

She instantly flushed and tried her best to retort, "How can that be the same? I did that because I didn't want to marry..."

Darnell looked at her, and the result was apparent in the unsaid.

Elaine sniffled, slowly withdrew her hand, turned her back to him, and buried her head in the pillow.

Darnell pulled the covers over her and then went out.

Elaine stomped on the blanket in chagrin but accidentally touched her hurt knee.
