Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 874

When Stella and Sherry arrived at the Steward’s Mansion, Clarence and Archer James were not there. Only Elaine James was playing a swing while shooting the night landscape of the garden.

Seeing the arrival of the ladies, she ran over to them directly, “Stella! Sherry! You are back!”

Stella asked, “Where are Archer and Clarence?”

“They have just left.”

“Did they say where they went?”

Elaine said, “No, they didn’t. But Clarence did let me to remind you to sleep early, not to wait for him.”

Stella nodded, “I know. But it’s late now. You should go to bed, dear.”

“Oh,” Elaine said, “A boy came to visit us a few hours ago. I don’t know him, but the guard didn’t stop him so I guess he is a friend of yours. Seemingly he had just had a fight with someone. His face was covered all over with wounds.”

Stella and Sherry looked at each other, Sherry asked, “Is he an Amerasian who was quite handsome?"

Elaine nodded, “Is he a friend of yours?”

Sherry coughed, “No… I’m a bit tired right now. I want to have a rest in my room.”

After that, she got back to her room in a hurry.

Elaine stared at Stella confusedly. The latter smiled faintly, “I will introduce him to you tomorrow. You should go to bed now. It’s a bit late.”

With her hand holding her phone before her chest, Elaine said, “I still want to stay here for a second.”

Stella said, “I noticed that you were shooting something. Are you going to send the video to your dad?”

“Uh…” Elaine got a little bit flushed before she mumbled, “Yes. I… I am going to send it to dad.”

Stella said, “Well, then you could stay here for a while but no for too long. It’s cold here.”

“Okay. I won’t.”

“Good night.”

After Stella left, Elaine sent the video she had just shot to someone.

But that someone didn’t reply.

Elaine checked the chat history and found that he also did not reply to the last several messages she had sent him, which made her pout.

To make it worse, what he replied was nothing but one or two words.

It was not hard to tell that they were just perfunctory replies.

He acted like an elder to her who was too busy to take those “childish” messages seriously.

Elaine sat back to the swing with her hands down on legs. With her toes stroking the ground softly, she began to play the swing in a disappointed way.

…

The moment Sherry opened the door of her bedroom, the words of Elaine welled up in her mind. Then she stopped.

Daniel must know that Stella and Clarence lived on the first floor. So, he wouldn’t choose to bother them, which meant it was quite possible that he was now living on the ground floor.

Sherry knocked on the door of the two empty rooms on the ground floor.

And there was no reply.

After a while of hesitation, she opened the door of one of the two rooms in a sudden.

Daniel was right in the room. With a piece of bandage in his mouth, he was trying to change the dressings by himself. The moment Sherry opened the door, Daniel looked upward to look at her eyes squarely.

The two were both stunned.

Sherry fixed her eyes on him unconsciously. On his body, one wound was interwoven with another. New wounds and large area of bruises can be easily visible.

It was the first time for Sherry to see those wounds clearly under light.

Daniel spitted the bandage out of his mouth. He quickly put on his clothes and said softly, “Did I scare you?”

Sherry shook her head and closed the door behind her, “Are you trying to change the dressing on your own?”
