Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 383

Channing let go of Clarence. He was frowning and wanted to say something when he felt his finger held by something tender.

Channing stunned for a second before he looked down. He saw a child, probably a few months old, staring at him with his eyes widened. The child was laughing and babbling.

Channing lowered his voice unintentionally, “This is…”

Clarence sat on the couch and said, “My son, Noah.”

Channing became angry again. He glared at Amanda, who didn’t know what was going on. Amanda was startled by Channing, then she realized Channing got it wrong, so she quickly explained, “It’s not what you think. I’m only here to take care of Noah.”

Channing felt relieved. He looked at Clarence and asked, “What’s going on?”

“I’ll tell you everything if you promised not to tell Stella what you see today.”

“Why are you afraid of her knowing what I see if you did nothing wrong?”

Clarence looked into Channing’s eyes, “I don’t want things to get complicated.”

Dolores now knew the person who broke in just now wasn’t a bad guy. She told Amanda, “Amanda, that’s it for today. You can leave now.”

Amanda nodded. She left the groceries at the dining table and left the place.

After the door closed, Dolores carried Noah from the couch, “It’s time for him to have his milk. I’ll leave the room for you guys.”

When Dolores carried Noah into the room, he was looking over Dolores’ shoulder at Channing. His hands were waving in the air as if he was talking.

Looking at the nose and eyes of Noah, an idea came into Channing’s mind.

When Amanda told him that she was here to take care of Noah, this idea already lingered in Channing’s mind, but it was a wild and unbelievable thought, so Channing threw the idea out of his head.

Channing looked surprised when he realized what he thought was true, “He is…”

Clarence raised his brows, “Yes.”

“My sister didn’t know?”

“She only knew about the existence of the child. She didn’t know anything else.”

Channing asked, “Why did you hide the truth from her?”

Clarence replied, “I’ve told you. I didn’t want to make things more complicated than it is.”

Channing raised his voice subconsciously, “But that’s her child! You knew how sad she was for the baby, but you… Don’t you think you’re going too far?”

Clarence’s expression changed, “Noah was a premature baby, and he has been going through back-to-back surgeries since he was born. How would you tell her if it was for you? Adding more pain on her when she’s already in misery?”

Channing was stunned. He didn’t know what to say. He paused for a while before he continued, “But he looked fine to me. Why did you still…”

“Did you tell her everything before you went looking for Jeffrey?”

Channing didn’t reply to Clarence’s question. Now he knew why Clarence did what he did.

The room was silent.

After a while, Clarence stood up, “Keep your promise, or else you won’t hear Noah calling you his uncle.”

Channing kept quiet.

Channing saw Clarence was about to walk out of the room. He turned around and looked at the room, “You’re leaving now?”

Clarence asked, “Would you prefer to stay?”

Channing turned around and left with Clarence.
