Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 181

On the second day, Stella didn’t get up until noon. She looked quite haggard.

Seeing her, Sherry was shocked, “Stella, what happened to you?”

Stella yawned, “Nothing. I drew the draft last night and didn’t go to bed until seven this morning.”

“Why are you working so hard? The deadline hasn’t approached, has it?”

Stella sat on the sofa, looking ahead in a daze, “I couldn’t sleep anyway.”

She was quite annoyed last night. She didn’t calm down until two o’clock when she started drawing, so she didn’t pay attention to the time at all.

Sherry peeled an orange and passed it to her. Looking at the big paper boxes in the living room, she asked, “Have you made up your mind how to deal with them?”

Stella followed her gaze. Lowering her head and thinking for a while, she answered, “Let’s donate the dresses and send back the jewelry.”

Sherry looked at her sincerely, “Please donate them to me.”

Stella was amused.

She smiled, “Sure. Take them, please.”

“Forget it.” Sherry curled her lips, “If Clarence Conrad knows it, he must skin me alive.”

She was just kidding.

After a thought, Stella looked over at the boxes again.

Honestly speaking, those dresses looked luxurious with good design, but they were only suited for certain upper-class events. It didn’t make any sense for her to donate them.

After a thought, Stella stood up, “Sherry, I’ll get changed. Please go out with me later.”

“Where are we going?”

“All the tags on these dresses still remain. Let’s return them to the stores and get some cash.”

Sherry heard it and her eyes were lit up, “Exactly! How come I haven’t thought about it?”

While Stella changed her outfit, Sherry had already divided the dresses according to their brands quickly. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

When they arrived at the first luxury store, a saleslady saw them take the whole box of dresses and gaped, “Excuse me, Ma’am. How may I help you?”

Stella smiled and told her what she was doing politely.

The saleslady said, “I see. Ma’am, please wait for a moment. I’ll call our manager over and help you with them.”

“All right. Thank you.”

The saleslady left. Sherry looked around the clothes in the store. She turned a tag over and took a glance. Immediately, she turned it back. Then she carefully patted on the spot where she touched.

On the dresses that Clarence gave to Stella, only the brand tags remained, but there were no price tags.

Although Sherry had thought that they were quite costly, she had never expected that they were that expensive.

A thin sun-top was more expensive on her lens.

Sherry approached Stella and said, “Stella, I guess only the dresses in this box would be worth hundreds of millions, let alone we have several boxes of other brands... We also have those jewelry and accessories. Since Clarence Conrad the wretched man treated you so generously, why did he ask you to return the money after divorce?”

Stella answered, “Because I’ve borrowed the money from him. I wrote him the IOU notes.”

“Well, no matter what, this man was weird sometimes. Nobody could figure out what’s in his mind at all.”

Stella pressed her lips into a smile and didn’t echo.

Right then, the saleslady returned with the store manager.

The manager said, “Ma’am, we understand your request now. May I please confirm with you again? You want to return all the dresses here in the box, right?”

Stella nodded slightly.

“Okay, please wait for a moment. It will take us a bit time to sort out the dresses here and then we can give you an estimate.”

“Thank you so much.”

“You are welcome. Please have a seat here.”

Stella said, “No, thank you, though. We’ll wander around and come back later.”

“Okay. May I have your contact number please? We’ll call you after it’s done.”

Out of the store, Stella and Sherry went downstairs to grab something to eat.

While eating, Sherry said, “By the way, Stella, what should I have for dinner tonight with Daniel? I’ve been wondering for a whole night. Western? I don’t know where he comes from and I’m afraid that he might not like the restaurant I picked. Chinese? I’m afraid that he doesn’t eat spicy food. Gosh! It’s so difficult to choose.”

Stella said, “Just ask Emmett. He must know it.”

“That’s right. How could I forget?” As she spoke, Sherry immediately pulled out her cell phone. However, when she was about to send out the message, she suddenly calmed down. She whispered to ask, “Stella, what’s your plan with Emmett?”

Upon hearing it, Stella paused, wondering how she should answer.

Earlier, even Sherry kept telling her that Emmett liked her, but Stella didn’t think that was possible.

However, upon Emmett’s words last night, she could clearly understand his intention.

Right at that time, Clarence the wretched man was also there, and she was angry, so she directly agreed to Emmett’s suggestion without thinking too much.

Seeing that she was silent, Sherry said again, “Stella, I do think Emmett is a good man. Since we were in college, he started to have a crush on you. He’s been liking you for so many years. How deep is his love!”

Stella asked in confusion, “How did you know it?”

Sherry looked away and coughed. She said with a sense of guilt, “Well... I guessed... It’s not difficult to figure it out, anyway.”

Right then, Stella’s phone started ringing. It was from the luxury store, telling her that they had finished sorting the dresses out.

After hanging up the phone, Stella said, “Let’s go back.”

Since she didn’t continue questioning, Sherry breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Phoebe when going back to the store.

Phoebe and Rebecca were shopping together. Probably they hadn’t expected to encounter Stella. They were also taken aback.

Particularly Rebecca, since Clarence gave her a warning, she still felt quite uneasy. Right then when she saw Stella, she immediately looked away, pretending she didn’t know Stella at all. She turned to coax her baby on the stroller.

Phoebe smiled at them, “Hi, Ms. Radomil. Long time no see.”

Stella slightly nodded at her and said hi.

Phoebe said, “I haven’t met you for two months. Ms. Radomil, you look good. It seems that you’re leading a happy life recently.”

Sherry chimed in calmly, “Without those hypocritical ones wandering around, of course, we are in good mood.”

While they were talking, the store manager walked up, “Excuse me, Ms. Radomil. This way please.”

Stella only nodded at Phoebe and left. Sherry didn’t like Phoebe, so she wouldn’t continue talking to the latter. She followed Stella.

Even the store added the depreciation cost of the dresses that they sent there, the estimate calculated by the luxury store was much higher than Sherry had guessed.

She gaped, “It costs that much!”

The store manager explained, “Several dresses in the box are limited edition or customized. There are also styles designed for the next seasons. Many of our VIP customers are waiting for them. Just now, I have contacted them, and they replied to me pretty soon. Ms. Radomil, your dresses are new, so we calculated according to the original price.”

Stella said, “I see. Thank you.”

“You are welcome. I’ll pay you now.”
