Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 763

Archer left instantly.

Darnell turned around. When he was about to leave, he saw Elaine watching him while hiding behind a pillar not far away. When meeting his gaze, she shrank back to the pillar.

He looked over at her and asked flatly, “What are you doing there?”

A few seconds later, Elaine walked out slowly and said in a low voice, “Uncle...”

Darnell put a hand in his pocket and asked calmly, “What can I do for you?”

Elaine stood in front of him, clenching her hands. She said with a nod, “I need to apologize to you.”

“For what?”

Elaine answered, “I made mistakes before. I was too willful. Please don’t take my words seriously. If... If you are outraged, please vent your anger on me. Don’t vent it on Great-grandpa and my father.”

After a long while, Darnell chuckled and asked, “Do you think I’m mad because you refused to marry me?”

Elaine pouted and clenched her fingers. “Not all because of that... I also said a lot of harsh words to you.”

She believed that she had gone too far.

She sounded as if Darnell had an evil intention on her.

He was unwilling to marry her.

She couldn’t help blaming this engagement that shouldn’t have existed.

Seeing that Elaine bent down her head lower and lower, Darnell said, “Forget it. You are just a kid. Now that we're no longer engaged, just move on and drop those trifles.”

For some reason, Elaine felt that Darnell was more tender than earlier when he used to talk to her.

She felt that he was coaxing her like coaxing a kid.

She retorted in a low voice, “I’m twenty already. You all take me as a kid. I’m old enough to get married already.”

Darnell was speechless.

He reminded her, “You should go home.”

Elaine agreed obediently. After she turned around and took a few steps, she turned back. Her pretty eyes twinkled when she looked at Darnell. “You’ve agreed then. You can’t get angry for the bygones. Nor can you blame my great-grandpa and father. Liar liar, pants on fire!”

Darnell looked at him in silence expressionlessly.

Probably he had never heard of such a threat before, so he felt ridiculous and amused.

Seeing that he was silent, Elaine became uneasy. She wondered if he was still upset about her.

Holding her breath, she reached out and raised her hand to him. “Let’s make a pinky swear?”

Darnell’s eyebrows twitched a bit. Looking at her puppy eyes, he pursed his thin lips.

A moment later, he reached out and looked away, playing such a boring game with her.

Elaine raised her head immediately. She couldn’t care much and hooked his finger, muttering, “Pinky swear. Keep your swear. Liar liar, pants on fire.”

After that, Elaine withdrew her fingers in satisfaction. “Done!”

She looked up at Darnell’s expressionless face and stopped smiling. She flinched in a lingering fear.

Darnell put down his hand and looked into her eyes. He said, “Elaine James, anyone aged above ten wouldn’t have done such a childish thing.”

Elaine was speechless.

She stammered, “I... I don’t care... You’ve made a promise. You can’t go back to your word.”

When she almost finished speaking, Elaine faintly felt that he would regret it the next second. In a hurry, she trotted away.

While trotting, she kept looking back from time to time.

As expected, she fell into a pile of fallen leaves in the yard as she didn’t watch the road. She was buried by them immediately.

Darnell watched the scene while standing motionlessly, rubbing between his eyebrows.
