Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again

Before the doors closed, Stella got on the bus.

Justin and Grace are sitting in the back, Grace is hanging her head, the whole person looks a little aggravated and frustrated, probably still sad about what just happened.

Justin, on the other hand, whispered to comfort her and cheered her up with the small snacks he bought.

Neither of them seemed to notice Stella.

Stella found a seat at the front and the bulky bus started slowly, heading in the direction of the city beyond.

She glanced at the destination posted on the bus, then opened her phone and sent it to Clarence.

The bus rattled all the way to drive for a long time, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

Stella didn't know when she fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes, the bus had arrived at the destination's, and there were only two or three passengers left on the bus, all holding their bags and getting off one after another. Stella exhaled and got out of the car, finally getting a breath of fresh air.

The bus was filled with the heavy smell of motor oil.

She looked around to see, this place seems to be a small fishing village, a family is not regularly located on the shore, this time has come to dinner time, the whole shore is lit up with stars and lights.

In the distance, she vaguely saw the figures of Grace and Justin.

Stella followed.

After about ten minutes, they entered a hut, which then lit up with dim lights.

Stella did not go inside, but stood outside on the steps, pursing her lips slightly.

At that moment, the family behind her opened the door, followed her line of sight, and asked, "What do you do, girl?"

Stella withdrew her gaze and smiled faintly: "I picked up...... something of that gentleman and wanted to return it to him."

The middle-aged woman looked at the watch in her hand and dispelled her worries: "So that's how it is."

Said, she added: "See you do not look like our people here ah, you......"

Stella said, "I saw it in S City and saw that it was quite an expensive watch, so I sent it over."

The middle-aged woman was slightly puzzled: "Expensive? Girl you are mistaken, a watch can be expensive to where, not to mention the situation of their family......"

Seeing that she wanted to say something, Stella swept her eyes at the fruits and vegetables placed at her door, "Auntie, I haven't had dinner yet, can I have a meal at your place, I'll pay for it." "Yes, yes, of course."

The middle-aged woman warmly invited her into the house.

She wiped the table and said, "Sit down for a while, I'll clean up the place and cook for you right away."

Stella laughs, "Good."

The middle-aged woman quickly went into the kitchen and began to work.

Stella sat for a few minutes and also walked in, "Auntie, I don't think that gentleman looks like your people here either, what did you just say about their family situation too?"

The middle-aged woman sighed, while cutting vegetables and said: "In fact, it's nothing, he is Grace's grandfather brought back from fishing at sea, and I do not know what has happened, do not remember who they are. Grace...... By the way, you see him next to the little girl?"

Stella nods gently.

The middle-aged woman said, "Grace's mother had a difficult birth, she was born for two days and two nights, so Grace's brain is not quite normal, her father died at sea, her mother ran away, so she followed her grandfather to live, the family also has little money, all rely on her grandfather fishing, last year her grandfather had a disease, within a few days on the person died. The two of them are crippled and stupid, which is also quite miserable." "Shawn?"

"Oh, that's the man's name, Grandpa Grace to him to get, Grace that dead dad's name has a Xiao word, he died at sea, Grandpa Grace and saved a man back at sea, kind of nostalgia for his son, he also gave the man a chance to be reborn."

Stella lowered her eyebrows and didn't say anything.

The middle-aged woman said: "Grace's grandfather died, they also did not have a source of livelihood, but the good thing is that Shawn good writing, but also painting, there is a boss in town often in the online order, let him get, he painted a good and Grace to the boss in town to take, but also barely earn money to live."

She said, she also lamented: "I think Shawn ah, should also be a cultural person, not bad looks, if the leg is not crippled, certainly will not stay here."

Stella was silent for a moment before she said, "Auntie, I'm going for a walk outside."

"Okay, I'll call you when the meal is ready later."

Stella walked to the beach and looked at the dark sea, wondering what she was thinking.

At this time, a voice came from behind, "Are you here to see me."

Stella looked back at the man in the wheelchair and handed the watch over, "I came to return this to you, it's too expensive for me to take."

Justin smiled at the words: "For me, it's all just out of body, I have nothing to thank you for this......"

"I heard that you and Grace are having a bit of a hard time, and that selling this would make you guys better off."

He turned down his wheelchair and looked at the sea: "This doesn't belong to me, Grace and I are actually living a pretty good life right now, being able to eat and wear warm clothes is enough."

Stella slowly closes her palm and holds her watch.

It was only after a long time that Justin turned his head and said, "You followed me from S City to here, not just for this watch, I think."

Stella mumbled, "What else could it be because of......"

Justin said, "The way you look at me is different from others, with hate, shock, and surprise. Have I ...... done something to hurt you before?"

Stella did not answer.

He continued, "I don't remember everything that happened before, but I never felt that I was a good person either, maybe I was once bad, ten evils, and these injuries on my body, as well as these legs, might be my retribution." "Your legs, they were like this a long time ago."

Justin smiled lightly, "You do know me."

He looked back at Stella: "Whether you want to take me to the police station, or whatever you want to do, I only have one request, please can you find someone to look after Grace for me, if the money from the sale of the watch is not enough......" Stella interrupted him, "What makes you think that I will help you."

"I'm not sure, but I believe that you should not be next to Grace with your hands up, or you wouldn't have helped us out today."

Stella looked into his eyes, but saw only a strangeness and openness, as if he was ready for his end.

She suddenly felt a little tired.

Stella said, "You think too much, I just know you, not very well either, between us, there is no grudge. I followed you here, I'm just curious." Justin's tense nerves finally loosened and a bright smile reappeared on his face.

He may, and is not as bad as he thinks.

At that moment, Grace called him from a short distance away.

Justin nodded slightly at her, "I'll go first."

Stella watched him disappear in front of her, and when she turned her head, she saw a sturdy figure standing there quietly, not knowing when it had come.
