Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 691

Elaine was weak and weary along the way and could not compose herself. She was so sad that she almost cried. On the one hand, she did not want to believe that she was adopted and on the other hand she was upset with herself for her stubbornness.

Her father was so good to her even when she was adopted and she was not even grateful. She realized that she was wrong.

She sobbed and was determined to be good to her father and would not throw tantrums anymore. After half an hour, the car stopped at a private courtyard.

Elaine looked around after exiting the car and asked, “Didn’t you say that we’ll go back to Riverside City? Where are we?”

“It’s too late tonight. We’ll go back tomorrow.”

“Oh.” Elaine lowered her head and followed him into the building.

Darnell sat on the sofa and was speaking to his men.

Elaine raised her head and looked Darnell in the eyes and lowered her head again. She said nonchalantly, “I’m tired and going to bed.”

“There are empty rooms on level three. Pick one.”

Elaine went upstairs and Darnell asked, “What’s wrong with her?”

Vincent sat beside him and struggled not to laugh, “I told her that she was adopted.”

Darnell was speechless.

“Childish tricks.”

“Yeah, it’s childish but she still believed it.” Vincent continued, “No wonder she is not suspicious of Caesar.”

Darnell rubbed his temples and did not know how to respond.

Vincent said, “It’s good anyway, at least she’ll remain quiet. Otherwise, she’ll escape when she sees you.”

Darnell stood up and said, “I’m going to bed.”

Darnell paused when he was at the second floor. He stood for a few seconds before walking up to the third floor.

Elaine lay on the bed and looked blankly ahead.

After a while, she heard a knock on the door and heaved feebly, “Come in.”

Darnell walked in and said calmly, “Go down and get the first aid box and take care of the abrasions on your face.”

Elaine turned away and said, “Don’t bother. Just let me self-destruct.”

“Do not make me repeat myself,” Darnell warned.

The threat was effective. She got up and walked towards Darnell. “Although I’ve decided to be married to you, you cannot order me like that! I have my dignity. I said that I don't…”

She looked into Darnell’s eyes and felt a chill running down her spine. She then quickly changed her words and said, “I can accommodate.”

After that, she felt resigned to fate, closed her eyes, and approached him.

As she walked nearer to Darnell, he reached out to stop her by the forehead , “You don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to. I said that I won’t marry you.”

“But… My father wants me to marry you.”

“So now you know that you were adopted by your father, and you feel bad for all these years. That's why you want to sacrifice yourself to repay your father?”

Elaine gently nodded because he said correctly.

It was silent in the room for a while before Darnell burst into laughter, “You really know how to repay your father.”

“Of course. I’m not an ungrateful person.”

“Didn’t you feel that you were ungrateful when you left Riverside City secretly?”
