Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 997 Happy Birthday

In the hotel restaurant, Elaine looked at the falling snow outside. There’s always a smile on her face.

She turned to look at Darnell, “Why don’t you eat at Nicolas’s place? His dishes are quite delicious.”

Darnell said lightly, “Then why don’t you have dinner with him.”

Elaine immediately shut her mouth and rested her chin in her hands, “Why did you come to
Switzerland? Did you come to celebrate me on purpose?”

Darnell poured a glass of water and drank it, with no change in his tone, “It’s just work.”

“Really? I don’t believe it.”

Darnell glanced at her sideways. Elaine made a mouth, insisting her opinions.

Even if he was coming for work, how could he come to Switzerland on her birthday? Is it so
coincidental?

And he also put the gift at the door secretly so that she wouldn’t know who sent it.

Soon, the dishes were served.

Elaine was satisfied with the meal. She said, “This is the best meal I’ve had since I came to
Switzerland!”

Darnell said slowly, “Didn’t you say Nicolas’s cooking is delicious?”

“It’s completely different. I like the dishes he cooks, but I like you more. I feel happy as long as I am
eating with you, no matter what we eat.”

Darnell moved his brows without being noticed. He raised his chin, “You finished?”



Elaine said, “Yeah, I’ve had enough.”

Darnell took his coat and got up. “Let’s go.”

Elaine followed him to the door of the restaurant and pointed to the floor-to-ceiling windows, “It’s
snowing again.”

In other words, she didn’t want to go back.

Darnell glanced back at her, and Elaine immediately said, “I will sleep on my own and I won’t disturb
you.”

“Your father agrees that you can stay over outside?”

Hearing this, Elaine frowned and thought for a while, and then she said with a tricky proposal, “I told
him that my classmates are holding a birthday party for me. He will agree with me staying out!”

Darnell didn’t say anything and asked his subordinates to open a room for Elaine, “I will take you to
school tomorrow morning.”

Of course, Elaine wouldn’t refuse, nodding her head again and again.

After they got off the elevator, Darnell took her to the door of the room, “Good night.”

Elaine turned around and said reluctantly, “It’s still early. Can’t I stay with you for a while?”

Darnell glanced at the time, “It’s ten o’clock, it’s time to go to bed.”

Elaine whispered, “My dad won’t go to bed earlier than you.”

Darnell opened the door of her room, handed her the key, and indicated that she could go in.



Elaine took the room card and looked back at him from time to time.

When she walked in, Darnell closed the door of the room, blocking her view completely.

Darnell turned around and went to the next room.

As soon as he opened the door, a figure ran out from the next room and ran into the room rapidly.

There’s no change in Darnell’s expression, “You has promised me.”

That’s just Elaine’s effort of expanding the time they spend together. But she couldn’t tell the truth, for
fear that he would send her home in a fit of rage.

She stuck her hand in her clothes pocket and touched something. Suddenly her eyes lit up. She took it
out and put it in front of him, “This, please put it on for me. I can’t wear it myself.”

Darnell stood still.

Seeing this, Elaine stretched out her hand and pulled him in, “Please help me put it on. And I’ll go back.
I will absolutely never disturb you.”

Darnell took the necklace from her hand, “Turn around.”

Elaine turned around obediently and lifted her hair, so that he could put it on.

Elaine’s breathing tensed as his hands stretched around her. She felt like she could hear her heart
beating.

Darnell looked down, quickly put the necklace on, and withdrew his hand, “Okay.”

Hearing this, Elaine turned around again, and gently touched the pendant in front of her collarbone.
There’s sparkle in her eyes. “Does it look good?”



Darnell’s thin lips pursed slightly and nodded.

Elaine smiled and looked up at him silently.

Maybe it was because of the heavy snow outside the window, or maybe it was because he happened
to show up again on her birthday. This sense of satisfaction made Elaine more courageous than
before. Slowly, she closed her eyes and stood on tiptoes.

Just as she was about to kiss him, Darnell reached out and clasped her shoulders.

Elaine said unwillingly, “I want birthday gift...”

“It’s on your neck.”

“That doesn’t count. I picked it up at the door. You didn’t write your name. It could be anyone.”

Elaine struggled hard, trying to sneak up on him while he was distracted.

Darnell didn’t give her the chance and pushed her down.

Elaine was pushed down on her feet. Her mouth bulging, she was obviously disappointed.

Just when she decided to let go and return to the room, she felt the cool thin lips kiss on her forehead.

He said, “Happy birthday.”

Elaine’s expression turned up instantly. She took advantage of the kiss and sneak into his arms again,
hugging his waist tightly, “I’m very happy. This is the happiest birthday I’ve ever had!”

...



In the middle of the night, Elaine was lying on the bed, rolling over and over again, unable to fall
asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see the picture of the kiss on her forehead.

She was excited for a long time. For one time, she shyly buried her head in the pillow. For another, she
waved her hand happily.

At this time, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

Elaine sent a Twitter, [ I hope everyday in my life could be as happy as today in the future.]

The pictures were a snow scene from a hotel window and a picture of the birthday cake baked by
herself.

Elaine received a lot of likes and comments after the photo was posted.

Just as she was replying them one by one, the phone suddenly rang.

It was Stella’s call.

Elaine quickly picked it up, lying on the bed while shaking her legs, “Sister.”

Stella said, “Sorry Elaine, I forgot your birthday. I’ll make it up to you later. Happy birthday!”

“It’s okay, I’m already very happy.”

Hearing her tone, Stella paused before asking, “Anything lucky happened?”

Elaine nodded. Her smile was even brighter. Just as she was about to speak, Clarence’s voice came
from the other side of the phone, “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Elaine, “...”



She checked the time. It was almost twelve o’clock.

It should be six o’clock in the morning in the Riverside city.

Elaine didn’t have time to think about why Stella got up so early. After saying good night to her sister,
she immediately hung up the phone.

Back on the bed, Elaine stroked the necklace on her neck contentedly.

After a long time, she fell asleep unconsciously.

The other side…

Darnell stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the heavy snow outside, recalling the
image of Elaine chased him out of the restaurant.

Originally, he just wanted to take a look at her before she returned to the James family.

Back in the James family, they would turn into enemies.

No matter to the rest of the James family, or Franklin, he won’t let them go easily.

For her, he’s also turned into a downright bad guy.

But he still went to see her when he saw her standing in the blizzard and snow, wearing only a thin
sweater.
