Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 177: Take a Brave Step

Downstairs of the apartment, Emmett was answering a phone call while standing beside his car.

After a while, Sherry’s voice was heard behind her back, “Hi, Emmett.”

He said to the person on the other of the line in a low voice, “Okay, I got to go.”

Emmett put away his cell phone and turned around. When seeing Stella, his gaze slightly paused.

Noticing that, Sherry raised her eyebrows. Finally, her goal was achieved.

Stella smiled apologetically at him, “I’m sorry for keeping you wait.”

Upon hearing it, Emmett returned to his senses, “Nothing... I’ve just arrived not long ago...”

Sherry held back her laughter and said, “Okay. Let’s go. The concert is about to start.”

Emmett nodded, “Okay. Please get in the car.”

On the way to the concert, Sherry kept activating the atmosphere by talking with Emmett. Stella
pressed the window down a bit, enjoying the fresh air outside.

It was a nice day today. The sun was shining. Different from the previous days when the temperature
dropped, it was warmer.

Seeing that Stella focused on something else, Sherry approached Emmett and whispered, “Emmett,
may I ask you a question, please?”

Emmett answered, “Of course. Go ahead, please?”

Sherry asked, “Have you had a girlfriend in the past few years?”



Emmett probably didn’t expect that she would ask him such a question. After being startled for a
moment, he answered, “No, I haven’t.”

“Why not?”

In the rearview mirror, Emmett cast a glance at the girl who was lying prone beside the window. He
smiled faintly, “I haven’t met a suitable one, I guess.”

Sherry asked with implication, “Is it because you haven’t met a suitable one or you have already had a
crush on someone?”

Emmett didn’t answer this time. He didn’t know how to answer such a question.

In fact, he had a crush on Stella since they were in college. However, all of them said Horace and she
was a perfect match, and they loved each other. Emmett always thought that they would get married.

Hence, he had never imagined proposing to Stella. However, unexpectedly, he heard that Horace
engaged Annie.

During the past few years, he didn’t have any news about Stella.

The reason that he attended the classmate reunion because he wanted to meet her again.

Seeing that he was silent, Sherry confirmed her guess. She encouraged him, “Emmett, if you like
someone, you should grasp the chance and make the step forward bravely.”

After a hesitation, Emmett said, “But I don’t know if she has a crush on me.”

He was afraid that once he confessed his love to her, they might probably not be able to remain friends.

Sherry said, “Anyway, she doesn’t have a boyfriend. Just try it.”



Emmett was speechless.

He looked back at Sherry in confusion.

Probably he didn’t expect that she would have figured it out.

Sherry raised her chin at him and cast a secret glance at Stella. Then she whispered to him in a voice
that only they both could hear, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you.”

Emmett thought for a while and nodded in agreement, “Okay. Thanks.”

There was a traffic jam on the way. When they arrived at the concert hall, it was already dark outside.

Seeing so many people, Sherry exclaimed, “Emmett, is your friend quite famous?”

Emmett answered with a smile, “Yes, he is. He has won several internal music prizes.”

When Emmett was parking his car, Sherry poked Stella with her elbow, “Stella, have you heard my
conversation with Emmett just now in the car?”

Stella was puzzled, “What? What did you guys talk about?”

In the car, she had been lost in thought, so she didn’t hear what they talked about.

With a mysterious smile, Sherry said, “Nothing.”

Shortly after, Emmett came over after parking the car, “Let’s go in.”

After entering the hall, Sherry deliberately took one step back, letting Emmett and Stella walk side-by-
side in front. In that case, when they would take seats later, the two would sit next to each other.



The seats offered by Emmett’s friend were quite good, in the front rows. They could see the stage quite
clearly.

They arrived a bit late. As soon as they took a seat, the concert started.

When Sherry was delighted that her plan was successful again. Stella whispered to her, “Sherry, look
up.”

“Uh... What?”

Sherry looked up subconsciously, only to see Daniel on the stage.

She widened her eyes, “How could it be him?”

Emmett heard their discussion. He asked in a low voice, “Do you know him?”

Stella was sitting in the middle. She answered, “He lives next door to us. He has just moved in not long
ago.”

After a pause, she asked, “You said that you have a friend who stays in our community. Did you refer to
him?”

Emmett nodded, “But I didn’t expect that it would be so coincidental. He’s your neighbor next door.”

Beside them, Sherry was already stunned. She deeply believed that the romance between a slum girl
and a musical talent had started.

As the melody was played, the whole concern hall quieted down.

Sherry fully concentrated on the stage without a blink.



In around half an hour, she suddenly felt that someone knocked on her shoulder. She moved a bit,
ignoring the person.

However, the person didn’t stop at all. Her shoulder was knocked on again.

Sherry felt so bothered. She turned around and was about to scold the person, only to find an
expressionless face.

Sherry choked up.

Clarence raised his finger at her, slightly tilting his head.

Sherry understood that he wanted to exchange the seat with her.

She hesitated without moving.

It was so hard for her to finally make the two enjoy the music concert and sit together. It was a good
chance for them to progress their relationship.

If Clarence made trouble, all her effort would be...

Clarence pressed his thin lips, warnings increasing in his eyes.

Sherry instantly felt a chill rising from her back. Immediately, she stood up and exchanged the seat with
him.

She inwardly comforted herself - she could have more chances to matchmake them, but she only had
only one life.

Stella had been staring at the stage. She hadn’t noticed what was going on next to her.



Suddenly, she felt that someone gripped her right hand.

Stella was taken aback for a moment. Sherry sometimes would pull her hands or took her arm.

However, she felt too intimate right now.

It didn’t seem to be done by Sherry.

When Stella felt weird, the fingers of the hand has slotted between her fingers, clenching her palm
slightly.

Stella turned around, only to find a different person was sitting next to her.

She choked up.

The man met her eyes, raising his eyebrows.

He looked as if he was challenging her.

She suppressed the fury that surged in her heart, trying to pull out her hand. However, the wretched
man didn’t seem to grip her tightly, but she couldn’t break free at all.

Probably she moved too violently, Emmett looked over at her, “Stella, anything wrong?”

Stella immediately turned around and hid the hand that Clarence was holding behind her back. She put
on an awkward smile, “Nothing. I just don’t feel very well. Let’s keep watching.”
