Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 56: Is It Worth Doing So?

Clarence meant that he didn’t want to offer this chance to her, but he had made a promise, so he had
to keep his words.

He implied that she should be grateful.

Stella, however, didn’t want to compromise at all. She answered aggressively, “Mr. Conrad, since you
are not happy about the performance of SG Jewelry Magazine on that show, I don’t think it’s a problem
if you call off this opportunity.”

After she finished speaking, Clarence looked over at the other man in the meeting room. He asked in a
cold tone, “Mr. Leif, is that so? Do you agree with her?”

Stanford felt that the cold sweat on his forehead almost dripped. With a wry smile, he answered, “It’s
not as serious as Sharon mentioned. But, Mr. Conrad, if you are not satisfied with our performance at
all, we truly don’t deserve this opportunity... No matter what, we appreciate that you could provide SG
Jewelry Magazine and our employee with such a chance.”

Clarence said expressionlessly, “But it seems that some employee of SG Jewelry Magazine doesn’t
appreciate it at all.”

Stanford wondered why this couple couldn’t fight in private after going home.

Stella didn’t want to waste time here either. “Mr. Conrad, thanks for your kindness. I’m not capable
enough to take it.”

As she spoke, she said to Stanford, “Mr. Leif, if there’s nothing else, I’ve gotta go.”

After Stella left, Clarence stood up and snorted. “Are all your employees so arrogant?”

Stanford didn’t know what to answer, so he kept silent.



When Clarence walked out of the meeting room, Modesty, who had been waiting for him, immediately
walked over and greeted him shyly, “Hi, Mr. Conrad. Nice to see you again.”

Clarence looked quite impatient, frowning at the woman who blocked her way. “Have we met before?”

Modesty was startled for a moment. Then she uttered some words, “Yesterday... I went to your office.
I’m a designer from SG Jewelry Magazine. Do you still remember it?”

Clarence answered flatly. “Okay. I see.”

He had almost forgotten that Stella was just one of the designers in SG.

He turned around and said to Stanford, “You can give the opportunity to her.”

Stanford didn’t get it. “What?”

However, Clarence didn’t intend to repeat. He strode away.

Modesty was also standing motionlessly in a daze with Stanford, wondering what opportunity it would
be.

After a few seconds, Stanford raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling that he was in a dilemma
indeed.

Clarence brought them with A-list designers. Unexpectedly, Sharon still turned him down directly.
Clarence was still angry and Modesty took the initiative to talk to him, so he tossed the opportunity to
her instead.

It seemed he was tossing the garbage.

Stanford had to do it since Clarence told him.



He said to Modesty, “Come over to my office, please.”

...

Stella walked out of the meeting room and went downstairs. When she was about to hail a taxi, she
heard a voice. “Hello, Stella.”

She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. “Why are you...”

Horace smiled. “I came for you.”

“What can I do for you?”

“It’s almost noon now. Shall we have lunch together?”

By instinct, Stella wanted to refuse him. “No, thanks. I...”

Horace interrupted her, “I just want to talk to you. Then I’ll leave. I won’t be holding you up for too long.”

Since he said so, Stella couldn’t insist on refusing him. She slightly nodded in agreement. “All right.”

When Clarence walked out of the elevator, he saw Stella and Horace walking away together. He said in
a cold tone, “No wonder. If she marries into the Jason family, she can get whatever she wants.”

Behind him, Nathan took a few steps back in silence.

Clarence continued, “Call Annie.”

After finishing his words, he walked in the direction where the two were leaving.

Horace chose a quiet restaurant. After ordering a few dishes, he asked, “Stella, I remember those are
your favorite dishes, right?”



Stella pressed her lips. For a moment, she couldn’t find her tongue.

Faintly, she could figure out what Horace would tell her later. She shouldn’t have agreed to come here.

After the waiter left with the menus, Horace continued, “Stella, I’ve been thinking about something
recently. I kept asking myself what kind of feelings I have for you and if I can take good care of you....”

Stella couldn’t help but interrupt him, “Horace...”

Horace interrupted her, “Please let me finish. I’ve asked myself if I would mind that you have married
before. After a long while, I got an accurate and responsible answer. Stella, I know what worries you. I
won’t ask you to make any choice. If you give birth to your baby, I promise I’ll treat the child as my
own.”

Stella burst into laughter. “Is it worth doing so?”

“It’s not a matter of worthy doing it. I just like you. I’ve lost you for three years. I don’t want to miss the
chance again.”

Three years ago, when Stella needed him the most, he knew nothing. Now, he wanted to go back to
her and make it up to her.

Stella said calmly, “If you don’t mind, how about your parents? Won’t they mind either?”

Even for an ordinary family, no parents would easily accept that their son would marry a woman who
was pregnant with another man’s child, not to mention that the Jason family was a rich and powerful
one.

Horace answered quite affirmatively, gently, and aggressively, “I’ll talk to them about it.”



Stella shook her head while faintly smiling. “We’ve broken up already. Horace, you don’t have to do
those things for me.”

“Stella, you are wrong. We’ve never broken up. We haven’t even begun.”

Upon hearing it, Stella felt bitterness surge from the bottom of her heart. She felt quite depressed.

Horace was a super good man. If they were back three years ago, she would still fall in love with him
without hesitation.

However, things had changed a lot.

They couldn’t go back to three years ago and nor could they change anything that had already
happened.

Right then, Annie’s figure showed up at the entrance of the restaurant. Seeing that Stella and Horace
were sitting together, she went furious. On her way rushing over to them, a figure suddenly appeared in
front of her. “Hi, Miss Conrad.”

Annie had been so furious that she could kill anyone who blocked her way. Immediately, she yelled,
“Fuck off!”

Nathan took a half step aside and reminded her, “Mr. Conrad is here, too. Miss Conrad, please behave
yourself.”

Clenching her fists, Annie calmed herself down instantly.

Horace had been hiding from her recently. She couldn’t behave like a shrew in his presence all the
time. If so, she would push him farther and farther away.



Seeing that Annie had almost calmed down, Nathan breathed a sigh of relief in secret. Then he stood
back in the corner.

Nathan reported to the man who was reading the menu, “Mr. Conrad, I’ve informed her.”

“Okay.”
