Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 88: The Wretched Man Was Quite Self-confident

“Ms. Beckham, I...”

“Stella, please let me finish my words.” Evelyn looked quite solemn, “Since you moved here, I know
you have a difficult life, but I’m afraid to remind you of something sad and upset you. Hence, neither
Ms. Anderson nor I wanted to bring up the subject to you. But you know I’m quite straightforward. I
can’t hold it any longer and I want to say something now.”

After a pause, Evelyn continued and cursed, “Your ex-husband is truly a scumbag.”

Stella was speechless.

Clarence looked over at Evelyn in confusion.

Before Evelyn went on cursing, Dolores touched her arm, hinting at her to stop.

Evelyn said, “Dolores, don’t stop me, please. Things have come this far, I must finish my words. Stella,
forget him. Cherish the current chance.”

Feeling the waves of coldness next to her, Stella hurriedly said, “Ms. Beckham, you’ve understood it. I
divorced him peacefully. It’s not like what you’ve thought.”

“A peaceful divorce? Even if you’re divorced, you are still pregnant. Your ex-husband doesn’t care
about you at all. Is he still a human? Any man who still has his conscience would never let a girl leave
her hometown and move to a strange place when she’s pregnant. You don’t have anyone to depend on
here. When you are bullied, nobody can help you.”

Stella felt that her brain was about to explode, “Ms. Beckham, please. I really...”

Evelyn heaved a sigh, still pulling her hand, “Stella, please don’t force yourself to smile. I’ve
experienced everything. I know how you feel.” As she spoke, she said, “Alex, come over.”



Alexander stood up and walked between them.

Evelyn pulled Stella’s hand with one hand and pulled Alexander’s with the other, “You both are good
youngsters. Stella, believe me, Alex is quite reliable. He likes you truly. He’ll take good care of you.”

Evelyn had already done such a preparation. Alexander took the chance and said, “Stella, I truly don’t
mind what happened to you in the past. I know you might not know me very well yet. But, it’s alright. I
hope you can give me a chance and let me prove my love to you.”

Stella didn’t answer, looking quite stunned.

Evelyn mistook that she tacitly approved. When she was about to pull their hands together, Stella
suddenly withdrew her hand, “I’m sorry, but I don’t think it works.”

A trace of darkness flashed through Alexander’s eyes.

Evenly sighed as well. She said to Alexander, “We can’t rush in such a thing. Just take it easy, Alex.”

Alexander went back to his seat, looking quite down.

Stella’s heart almost popped out of her chest. She was stunned just now because when Alexander was
confessing his love, a man’s hand grabbed hers under the table. His slender fingers inserted between
her fingers bit by bit until ten fingers were clasped.

Stella turned around and glared at him.

Clarence raised his head and gulped down a glass of liquor calmly, raising his eyebrows only.

After such a matter, all the neighbors at the table quieted down.

Stella felt extremely uneasy all the time because she found that Clarence didn’t have any intention to
release her hand that he gripped.



She wondered what was wrong with this wretched man.

When the gathering ended, all the neighbors bid each other farewell.

Alexander managed to cheer up himself, “Mr. Conrad, may I give you a ride, please?”

Clarence said in an indifferent tone, “No, thanks. Mr. Hans, you look pale. Go home and have a rest.”

While he was speaking, Stella secretly increased the strength on her left hand, managing to pull it out
from his grip.

Clarence said again, “I want to wander around. Ms. Radomil, please show me around.”

Stella, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, was shocked again.

She didn’t agree, did she?

Alexander parted his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t think he had the right.
Besides, Clarence was married. Alexander didn’t think he would have any evil intention towards a
pregnant woman.

After Alexander was gone, Clarence cast a glance at Stella, on whose face the unwillingness was
written, “Ms. Radomil, shall we?”

Evelyn patted Stella on her shoulder, “Stella, Clarence was waiting for your answer.”

Stella put a wry smile, “Oh, really? Sorry, I didn’t hear him.”

Clarence said again, “Thank you very much, Ms. Radomil.”

This wretched man pretended to be a gentleman now.



Out of the ancestral hall, there were street lamps in the line along the river.

Stella lowered her head, walking in front quietly.

All she wanted was to walk to the end of the street and sent this wretched man away as soon as
possible.

With one hand on the trousers pocket, Clarence strode to follow her, “Ms. Radomil, why don’t you
introduce those places to me?”

Stella bit her lower lip, turned around, and smiled at him, “I’ve just moved here for half a month. I’m not
familiar with the neighborhood. Mr. Conrad, you can take a look. Or, shall I find someone else to show
you around and give you a detailed introduction?”

“Is there any woman who’s better-looking than you, Ms. Radomil?”

Stella sneered, “Mr. Conrad, haven’t you said that I’m just so-so?”

Clarence stopped and looked at the river. He said calmly, “I was talking about my wife. Ms. Radomil,
how can you misunderstand that I was talking about you?”

Stella was annoyed by the wretched man’s words.

She stood one meter away from him, “Mr. Conrad, haven’t you seen that you’ve messed up all our
arrangement after you came in?”

Clarence shrugged without care, “Have I? I found they were overjoyed”

Stella was speechless.

The wretched man was quite self-confident.



Clarence turned to cast her a glance, “Or, did you mean that I’ve disturbed your good future marriage,
Ms. Radomil?”

Stella said, “Probably yes. Mr. Conrad, if you hadn’t come, I would probably say yes to Mr. Hans.”

“Ms. Radomil, if you regret it, you can still go to find Mr. Hans. I’m sure he would still be quite happy to
become a father as soon as having a wife.”

Stella wished that she could kick him into the driver.

After a while, she seemed to realize something. She asked tentatively, “Mr. Conrad, are you drunk?”

Only after he got drunk would he not speak in a sarcastic and harsh tone.

It also made sense that why suddenly he gripped her hand earlier.

During the dinner, a lot of neighbors came to propose toasts to him. He drank with them one by one.

Clarence didn’t answer. After a while, he said flatly, “I used to grow up in such a neighbor when I was a
kid.”

Stella was taken aback for a moment before understanding what he meant. No wonder he wasn’t
impatient or annoyed by the noisy environment and people.

This was also the first time that Clarence told her something about himself.

Clarence didn’t seem to plan to tell her anything else. He was standing there motionlessly. Stella
wondered what was in his mind.

A breeze blew. Stella sneezed.

Clarence slowly turned around and looked at her expressionlessly, “Stella Radomil.”



“Yes?”

Upon hearing the familiar tone, Stella realized that he sobered up.

Clarence continued, “Annie said Horace Jason is the father of your baby. What’s your explanation for
this?”
