Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 739

Elaine locked herself in her room since she was discharged from the hospital. She didn't eat anything at all.

Her father Franklin called her twice but she was oddly determined and stubborn this time. He was busy after Hilbert's death, and he didn't have much time to look after Elaine now.

He thought everything would be fine after a while.

Elaine lied on her bed, crying herself to sleep. When she woke up, she started crying again.

She looked haggard like a half-dead person.

If she hadn't rushed to City N without proper consideration, Sherry wouldn't have lost her baby.

Great-grandpa was good to her and loved her so much, but she didn't get to spend more time with him, didn't even get the chance to speak to him before he left this world.

She didn't know how much time had passed before someone knocked on her door again. She forced herself to speak weakly, "I'm not eating, leave me alone…"

Before she could finish, a cold voice from a man was heard, "Open the door now. You have one minute."

Elaine was startled. She wanted to get up but had no energy to do so after two days without food. Hence, she threw herself back on the bed.

On second thought, why would she still be threatened by his words? She was already home.

This was her home. There was nothing he could do to her.

Elaine shut her eyes again and covered herself entirely with the blanket, sobbing underneath.

She heard some noise from the door after a short while.

Elaine removed the blanket and looked in that direction with her misty eyes. She could barely open her eyes against the glares of light.

She realized something after a few seconds. Where was the door?

At this moment, a maid hurried in with a tray of food, "Have some food, Ms. James," she said worriedly.

Elaine was still punishing herself. "No," she said stubbornly."

"Force it down her throat, as much as you can," the man said.

Elaine was puzzled. She looked at the door again but the man was no longer there.

The maid helped her up, "Please eat something. Doyen's funeral is scheduled in the evening. You can't even step out from the house in this condition."

Elaine mumbled in confusion, "Today is great-grandpa's funeral?"

"Yes, Sir James is busy because of this. That's why he sent Master Darnell over to get you."

Elaine lowered her head in silence.

The maid walked over with the congee, "Don't be too stubborn Ms. James. Doyen passed away in old age and peacefully. He didn't suffer much. You should be glad for him on that."

Elaine began weeping uncontrollably again talking about this, "But… I…"

"Death is an unavoidable stage in life. Don't be too upset about that. I'm sure he would want you to live a happy and carefree life like before."

No one knew if Elaine had accepted the advice, but she swallowed down the congee, weeping.

After the meal, she went for a shower while the maid brought her a black dress for the funeral.

Elaine rubbed her reddened and swollen eyes as she walked down the stairs.

Darnell was sitting downstairs. At the sight of her, he stood up and strode out without a word.

Elaine hurried out, following behind him.

Outside the house, Elaine walked towards the passenger seat at the front like usual, she saw Darnell open the door of the driver's seat when her hand landed on the handle.
