Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 51

Stella went back to the private box and was about to enter. She heard a gentle voice behind. “Hi, Stella?”

Her hand on the doorknob paused. After a few seconds, she turned around.

Horace didn’t expect that it was her indeed. He walked up to her and said, “Stella, why are you here? I thought I’ve mistaken another girl like you.”

Stella greeted him calmly like an old friend, “I’m having a gathering with my friends here. How about you?”

Just now, Annie showed up like a lunatic. Stella should have known that Horace was here as well.

“I’m here with my friends, too. Is your gathering ending soon? If so, shall we...”

Before Horace could finish his words, the door of the private box behind him was opened.

When Liam saw Horace, he was in a daze. After a moment, he came back to his senses and asked, “Is this Horace?”

Horace withdrew his gaze on Stella, nodding at Liam politely in response.

Liam had been in love with Sherry since they were still in college, and he had met Horace before. They were not close, though.

“Jesus! It’s been so long.” Liam put his arm on Horace’s shoulders. “What a coincidence! Come on in. Let’s have a talk.”

Stella was about to refuse Horace, but the latter smiled at her and walked into their private box together with Liam.

In the box, Liam introduced Horace to other friends. “Hey, guys! This is my buddy in the college. He used to be the campus hunk of our grade back then.”

Upon hearing that, a group of people gathered around them, proposing toasts.

Suddenly, one of them looked over at Horace and asked in hesitation, “Excuse me. Are you Mr. Jason from the Jason family?”

Horace nodded to confirm. “Nice to meet you.”

Upon hearing his words, others around him, including Liam, started to get confused, raising an uproar.

He just knew that Horace was from a rich family, but much to his surprise, Horace was from the Jason family...

The man who asked the question continued, “Mr. Jason, you’ve been living abroad for the past few years. I’ve met you from afar at an event long ago. Just now I thought I’ve mistaken another man for you. I didn’t expect that you are a friend of Liam’s. It’s such a pleasure to meet you.”

Upon hearing his words, all others looked at Liam in either envy or jealousy.

Liam was just an office worker, but he and the son from the Jason family were friends. They believed that Liam would soon become wealthy and powerful.

However, Liam was quite uneasy, afraid that Horace would tell them that they were not that close.

Horace smiled and said, “Liam and I have known each other for many years.”

On the other side, Sherry walked to Stella. Looking at Horace, who was surrounded by a group of people like the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars, she asked in confusion, “Stella, why is he here?”

Stella rubbed between her eyebrows. “I just met him at the door. Liam called him in.”

Sherry clicked her tongue. “Fortunately, Horace is good-tempered. If it were...”

Sherry didn’t finish her words, but a name flashed through their minds at the same time. They shivered.

It was so difficult to imagine the scene.

Sherry muttered, “Don’t you think there’s something wrong with Liam’s coworker? She made a fuss at the door first. Just now, she came to speak something weird to me. What a hypocritical woman!” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Stella returned to her senses. Thinking about her purpose to be here, she said after thinking for a moment, “By the way, Sherry, I sensed something wrong between Liam and that woman...”

“No worries. I know Liam very well. No matter how bold he is, he won’t have the guts to cheat on me. Besides, that woman had nothing but just a big bosom. If she were smarter, I would suspect that, too.”

Stella couldn’t utter a word for a moment. Sherry and Liam were in love for so many years, so it was normal for her to refuse to believe it.

Right then, Liam turned around and saw Sherry talking to Stella. He became quite altered. After speaking with others for a moment, he took Horace over. Nervously, he pulled Sherry into his arms and said with a smile, “We haven’t met each other for so many years. Shall we find a place and have a talk? Only four of us.”

Sherry asked, “You’ve called so many friends over. Do you want to leave them behind?”

“I can always meet them, and they’ve been having fun for a while. If they still want to stay, they can continue staying here. I can come back later.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

Liam answered without care, “Why not? We are all friends. They won’t mind. Horace, what do you think?”

Horace cast a casual glance at Stella. “I’m fine with it.”

“Then...”

Stella interrupted Liam, “It’s getting late. I need to go home. Please suit yourselves.”

Sherry also echoed, “Let me drive you home. I want to get some fresh air.”

After Stella was gone, Horace wouldn’t continue staying here. After nodding at Liam as a farewell, he followed the two ladies to leave.

Looking at their receding figures, Liam subconsciously clenched his fists, chasing them in a hurry.

Out of the box, Horace pressed his lips and asked, “Wait, Stella. Are you mad at me?”

Stella was taken aback. After a moment, she understood what he meant. “Not at all. I just don’t feel very well.”

She also couldn’t bear Liam’s hypocritical face.

Horace looked at her lower belly that was not obvious yet. “Hasn’t he known about it?”

Stella smiled, shaking her head slightly.

Shortly, Liam caught up with them. He pulled Sherry. “Sherry, why don’t you just stay here?”

Sherry didn’t get him. “Why can’t I go...”

“Stella and Horace haven’t seen each other for so many years. They must have a lot to talk about. Don’t follow them as the third wheel. You are interrupting their date.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Liam blurted out, “It’s not nonsense. Don’t they always have a crush on each other?”

Sherry frowned and raised her voice. “Liam Keith!”

Horace fell into the silence for a few seconds. Then he looked at Sherry and admitted, “Yes, I’ve always had a crush on her.”

Stella didn’t expect that he would admit it. Slightly raising her head, she noticed that he was looking in another direction firmly. Subconsciously, she looked over following his gaze. In an instant, she felt the hair stand on the end.

How unlucky she was today! How could she meet so many people coincidentally? They were like gathering here. Stella had a bad hunch that something might happen.

Not far from them, Clarence was gazing at them coldly.

Sherry noticed Stella and Horace both looked quite weird. She followed their gazes, inhaling deeply.

How dramatic the current scene was!

After gazing at them for a few seconds, Clarence withdrew his gaze indifferently. As if he didn’t know them at all, he strode away.

Seeing that he looked forward and passed them by, Stella finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before she could relax completely, Clarence paused his pace. He turned around slowly, cast glances at Liam and Sherry, and then looked back at Stella. “Have you made up your mind how to

mention it to her yet? It’s been a long while.”

Stella’s heart skipped a beat. Before she asked him to shut up, Clarence continued in a cold tone, “Have you recorded the scene? You should show her directly.”
