Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 524: I’m Very Busy

Fortunately, the food ordered by Stella was light. After eating, she went to get the medicine for
Clarence and poured a cup of warm water in front of him, “Take the medicine first. If you are still having
fever tonight, let’s go to the hospital tomorrow.”

Clarence threw the medicine into his mouth. He picked up the glass of water and tilted his head to drink
the water. His Adam’s apple bobbed for a moment.

He said, “It’s okay. I just need to rest for a while.”

Stella knew that he hadn’t rested much in London these days, and he had returned by helicopter
overnight.

Everyone would feel tired after experiencing such things.

She said, “You may go rest first. I’m going to take a shower.”

Clarence held her wrist and raised his eyebrows, “Let’s take a shower together, shall we?”

Stella was speechless.

She slapped his hand away, “You have caught a cold. Can’t you be more decent?”

With that, she took the clothes and went into the bathroom directly.

Clarence had changed into a new set of clothes and it looked like he had taken a shower when he
came back.

He was a neat freak and how could he be lying in bed directly after such a long helicopter ride.

After taking a shower, Stella felt that she no longer felt tired.



When she went out, Clarence was standing on the balcony talking on the phone.

Stella didn’t disturb him and went back to the bedroom.

Clarence had been on the phone for half an hour.

Seeing him coming in, Stella said, “Is anything wrong?”

“Nothing. It’s just some minor issues. They’re not important.” Clarence went to her side and laid down.
He turned off the light and pulled her into his arms, whispering, “Sleep first.”

After sleeping all afternoon, Stella was not sleepy at the moment.

She closed her eyes. The more she slept, the more awake she became.

After she turned over several times from side to side, Clarence said, “Can’t you fall asleep?”

Stella said in a soft voice, “Am I too noisy? I’ll go out first…”

She was just about to get up when Clarence put his arm around her waist and said, “No, I can’t fall
asleep either.”

Not waiting for him to say the next words, Stella said, “Then let’s close our eyes and have a good rest.
Don’t think too much.”

Clarence was speechless.

He laughed in a low voice, saying something in her ear, “What am I thinking?’

Stella didn’t say anything, ignoring him.



Clarence moved his palm on her waist smoothly. His voice was magnetic and dumb, “Tell me. What am
I thinking? Yes?”

Stella held down his hand, “Anyway… don’t think too much. Just close your eyes for a while and then
you will fall asleep.”

After a few seconds, Clarence said in the darkness, “Stella.”

“What?”

“You said you thought you can’t see me again. Are you afraid that you can’t see me again in the
future?”

Stella remembered the words he said in the downstairs of Steward Group. Her face blushed
uncontrollably. She said in a stuttering voice, “Why are you suddenly… suddenly talking about this.”

Clarence said, “Nothing. I just want to confirm again.”

“Didn’t I tell you this afternoon?”

“I want to hear you saying it again.”

Stella was speechless.

She couldn’t help but say in a low voice, “Why are you so dramatic when you’re sick?”

Clarence was puzzled, “Dramatic?”

“Nothing, nothing. Just…” Stella said seriously, “You shouldn’t go somewhere dangerous in the future. I
will be worried about your safety.”



Clarence hugged her and let out an “um” sound. After laying the groundwork for the following topic, he
said, “I’ve had a narrow escape. Shouldn’t you give me some rewards?”

Stella was stunned.

She wondered what kind of bullshit he was saying.

Clarence continued saying, “For example, if I upset you or make you angry, you should forgive me on
the spot.”

“That depends on the circumstances.”

“What are all the circumstances?”

“If you quarrel with me unreasonably, I won’t bother with you.”

Clarence was dissatisfied, “When was I unreasonable?”

Stella said seriously, “Always.”

Clarence gritted his teeth. He was silent for a while before saying, “What about other circumstances?”

Stella said, “What else will you do? Cheating? Are you still afraid of upsetting me or making me angry
when you fall in love with someone else?”

“Why are you thinking such a thing? There is no such thing.”

“Then what are you referring to?”

Clarence closed his eyes, “Nothing. Let’s sleep first. I feel sleepy suddenly.”

Stella was speechless.



He had learned very well how perfunctory she treated him.

Stella still couldn’t fall asleep and tried to escape from Clarence’s arms and go outside to draw the
design.

But as soon as she moved, Clarence hugged her tightly using his arms on her waist, “Didn’t you tell me
that we can fall asleep after closing our eyes for a while.”

“It’s just a lie.”

Clarence was speechless.

After a while, Stella said again, “Clarence, are you asleep?”

“No.”

Stella gently pursed her lips, “William went to look for me last night.”

“Did you see him?”

“No. He was in the car and didn’t come down.” Stella said, “And the other day when something
happened to Steward Group, it was also him who helped me behind the curtain.”

“That’s what he should have done. You don’t need to feel guilty at all.”

Stella sighed, “Yes, but…”

Clarence knew what she was thinking. He said in a low voice, “This is not your choice, but his. In other
words, this is also the best solution for now.”

Stella also knew that this could only be the case.



If she wanted to protect Chan, she could only act like she didn’t know anything.

Even if he was her real father…

Stella didn’t know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, Clarence was no longer beside her.

She rubbed her eyes and walked to the living room. She saw that Clarence was working in front of the
computer.

Stella who was still sleepy walked over and touched his forehead instinctively. Then, she breathed a
sigh of relief, “It’s okay. It’s not hot anymore.”

Clarence smiled and held her hand, “I told you that I will be okay.”

Standing there, Stella sobered up a bit, “Aren’t you going to the company today?”

“No, I can accompany you today.”

Stella was silent for a few seconds, “I’m very busy.”

Nothing was going on at Steward Group these two days, so she could go back to the studio and meet
with Sherry.

Clarence said, “I know you are busy. Can’t you spare some time at night to accompany me?”

Stella smiled, “I will think about it.”

Clarence said, “Are you going to the studio?”

Stella nodded her head and asked, “What about you? Are you staying at home?”

“I’m going to the Conrads’ mansion.”



Hearing his words, Stella was a bit surprised, “Why are you going to Conrads’ mansion?”

Clarence said faintly, “You disappeared from Conrads’ mansion. It’s such a big thing. I need to go to
explain about that.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry. I’m just going there for a while. I’ll pick you up at night.”

Stella knew that the purpose he was going there was not simple. There must be other things as well.

She nodded her head, “Okay.”

With that, she said, “Then, I wash up first. Be more careful… when you go to Conrads’ mansion. Don’t
quarrel with them face to face.”

Now that Master Conrad was very angry with him, it was not safe for him to go to Conrads’ mansion as
well.
