Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 182

When Stella and Sherry walked towards the door, the found that Rebecca’s child was crying loudly and Rebecca failed to coax him no matter how hard she tried.

Stella uncontrollably stopped when she saw this and subconsciously looked over.

It looked like the child was three or four months old.

Hearing him crying, Stella felt a touch of sorrow in her heart. She slowly walked over.

Sensing Stella’s approach, Rebecca hugged the child tighter and moved aside.

Stella asked in a gentle voice, “Can I hug him?”

Rebecca didn’t reply. Maybe it was because she was nervous, or maybe she was hesitant.

But when she looked into Stella’s eyes, she felt it hard to refuse her request.

Originally, she suffered from insomnia because she intentionally pushed Stella into the water before. Moreover, she heard that Stella lost her child not long ago.

As a mother, Rebecca understood how she felt.

Stella thought that Rebecca would not agree to it. But when she was about to leave, Rebecca handed the child to her.

Stella was stunned. She then gingerly reached out to take the child.

The strange thing was that when she hugged the child, he immediately stopped crying and fixed his round eyes on Stella while waving his small hands in the air and giggling.

Looking at the little baby in her arms, Stella gradually curled her lips into a smile.

Sherry walked over, “Stella, seems like he likes you so much.”

Rebecca also thought it incredible. Her child was usually hard to be coaxed and he would cry if other people hug him. This was the first time that he giggled so happily.

Phoebe who stood aside didn’t say anything, but her expression was colder.

Stella didn’t hug the child for too long. She returned him to Rebecca after a short while, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” When Rebecca took the little child from Stella, his eyes were still fixed on Stella and he shifted his gaze along with Stella’s movement as if he was reluctant to leave Stella’s arms.

Stella smiled at her and then said to Sherry, “Let’s go.”

When they walked out of the store, they heard Phoebe’s voice sound from behind, “Ms. Radomil.”

Stella stopped and turned around, “What’s the matter, Ms. Steward?”

Stella slightly smiled, “Nothing. It’s just that we haven’t met for a long time and Ms. Radomil, I want to treat you a cup of coffee.”

Stella replied, “Thank you, Ms. Steward. But I have some business to deal with. I have to go now.”

“Ms. Radomil, my engagement with Clare has been cancelled and I have no relationship with the Conrad family now. I guess you don’t need to evade me, right?”

Stella had learned that they had cancelled the engagement earlier. It was just that she didn’t want to care about the things related to the past as they had nothing to do with her.

But Phoebe mentioned this out of the blue and there seemed to be dissatisfaction and question in her tone of voice.

Stella was not sure whether it was because she had thought too much of it or not.

Sherry felt more uncomfortable when she heard Phoebe’s words. She wanted to say something, but was then stopped by Stella.

Stella sad with a smile, “Ms. Steward, you misunderstand me. I’ve never thought of evading you. It’s just that do you want to see me, Ms. Steward? Or should I ask you: Do you still want to befriend me?”

Phoebe pressed her lips. She didn’t reply.

She had to admit that Stella was really smart.

She had hid it well, but Stella still perceived that she approached her because of Clarence.

Stella continued, “No matter what, I appreciate your favors to me before.”

She paused and then said word by word, “No matter you were sincere or not.”

After finishing the words, Stella pulled Sherry to leave.

After their leaving, Rebecca walked out of the store with the baby carriage, “Phoebe, what were you talking just now?”

Phoebe came to her own sense and smiled lightly at her, “Nothing. Rebecca, let’s go on.”

Rebecca lost the mood to go shopping after the baby’s cry, “I want to go home now. My baby has cried for several times. I don’t know whether it’s because he’s not accustomed to going out.”

On the way back, Rebecca said, “Phoebe, I didn’t have too many contacts with Stella before. Annie always curses her, saying that she is shameless or something else. Originally I thought that she was a vicious woman. But from her behavior today, it seems that she’s not as wicked as we’ve imagined.

Phoebe asked, “Really?”

“Yep. Her eyes are so clear and beautiful. How can an evil woman have a pair of pure eyes?”

After finishing the words, Rebecca sighed emotionally, “No wonder that Horace and Clarence…”

Rebecca suddenly realized that she had blurted out something that she was not supposed to say and suddenly paused.

But Phoebe acted as if she didn’t perceive anything and began to play with the baby in the carriage.

Rebecca changed a topic, “Phoebe, I heard that you invited Daniel to your birthday party. What’s his reaction?”

Phoebe looked up at her, “Rebecca, do you know him too?”

“He’s quite famous. When I was abroad, I went to his music concert with my friend.”

Phoebe said, “My friend recommended him to me, saying that he happened to have a show in City N recently. So I asked my friend to invite him. Probably he will come.”

Rebecca smiled when she heard the words, “That’s great. I have been wishing to see him, but I haven’t gotten a chance.”

Phoebe said apologetically, “Rebecca, I’m sorry. I’m afraid that I can’t invite you to my birthday party.”

Rebecca was stunned, “Why?”

“Because ever since Clarence cancelled the engagement with me, my father detested the Conrad family. Moreover, he doesn’t want to have any intercourse with the Conrad family.”

“I know this. But Horace has cancelled the engagement with Annie and we have no relationship with the Conrad family now.”

Phoebe sighed, “But my father thinks that the Jason Group won the bids for several projects because of Conrad family and now these projects are progressing. I’m afraid that he would vent his anger on you, so…”

Rebecca looked very disappointed when she heard the words. She looked onto the ground, “Well.”

Noticing her reaction, Phoebe wrapped her arm around Rebecca’s, “Rebecca, it doesn’t matter even if you can’t go to my birthday party as it’s mainly for social engagement. You’re my friend and we can meet personally.”

Rebecca forced a smile, “You’re right.”

“It’s late. Let’s go.”

After sending Rebecca back to her home, Phoebe, who was sitting in the car, curled her lips into an indifferent and disdainful smile.

She winded up the window and said in a flat tone, “Let’s go.”

After coming back home, Phoebe asked a maid, “Where’s my father?”

“Master Steward is in the study.”

Phoebe walked to the study and pushed open the door after knocking at it.

The moment she entered the study, she saw Charles putting something into the drawer. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Charles looked at her, “Phoebe, what’s the matter?”

Phoebe said, “Dad, I’m here to discuss my birthday party with you. Are you busy now?”

Charles shook his head and stood up, “I’m not busy. Let’s go to the living room.”
