Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

At night, Stella went back after Sherry was asleep.

Clarence was reading a book on the sofa. He did not react when he heard the door open.

Stella was tired and asked as she was walking to the bedroom, “Have you showered?”

Clarence answered, “Yes.”

Stella took her nightgown out. “It’s pretty late. Aren’t you going to bed?”

“Yeah.” He mumbled but did not seem concerned.

Stella paused, walked over to him and sat beside him, “What’s wrong?”

Clarence turned a page and said, “Nothing, go shower. Don’t bother about me.”

Stella was speechless. This man must be upset about something.

Stella looked over and noticed that she could not figure out what he was reading and asked, “What are you reading?”

"Buddhist Sutras."

What the hell was wrong with him?

Before Stella said anything, Clarence said in his calm baritone voice, “I slept alone for three days and should read some Buddhism to control myself.”

On hearing, Stella felt amused and put the book aside. “Are you a kid who needs my company every day?”

Clarence looked at her and said, “Why not? I can’t sleep without you.”

Stella stood up and then ruffled his hair as if she was coaxing a kid, “Okay okay, I’ll take a shower and then sleep with you.”

He grabbed her hand when she was about to walk away. In the next instance, she fell into his embrace.

Clarence placed his hand on her waist and then said suggestively, “What kind of sleep?”

“Sleep, just sleep.” She replied.
