Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 1100

During the meal, with Dolores present, Elaine was less restrained and uncomfortable than before, and much more relaxed.

Dolores would ask her about her experiences over the past two years, and Elaine would answer in a colorful way.

Those experiences, or funny, sad, or hard, or lonely.

But perhaps that's why the current get-together is so precious.

Christine sits next to her and occasionally asks Dolores a question or two along with her words.

The whole atmosphere, gradually from detachment, slowly become warm up.

Elaine was talking to both of them with a big and bright smile on her face, her eyes curved and full of light.

Darnell sat next to her and watched her, the corners of his lips curling up gently.

When she finished eating, Elaine was about to leave when Christine called her back, then turned around and took a box from the maid and opened it, inside was a crystal clear ring.

She put this on Elaine's hand: "There's nothing I can give you after all you've bought me, so take this back with you."

Elaine opened her mouth, even though Christine did not mention the origin of the ring, she could tell at a glance that it was worth a lot of money.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Darnell, who raised his eyebrows slightly, signaling her to take it.

Elaine gathered her courage, went up and hugged Christine, and whispered, "Thank you Auntie Christine."

Christine gave a rare smile and gently patted her back: "No need to be polite with me, just come and stay with me more often when you have time."

Elaine nodded, "I will."

On the way back, Elaine looked over and over again at the ring Christine had given her, loving it as if it was more than the ring Darnell had given her in the first place.

She tentatively asked Darnell, "Auntie Christine this means she accepts me, right?"

Darnell said, "Like I said, she would have loved you."

Elaine happily hugged his arm and muttered, "If I had known it was like this, I would have come to see her earlier, you don't even know how nervous I have been for the past few months, I didn't even want to ...... have a wedding"

She said the last few words so quietly that Darnell didn't hear them clearly.

"What?"

Elaine raised her hand and looked at her ring with a smile on her face, "It's nothing, I'm really loved by everyone."

Darnell let out a low laugh, his chest vibrating slightly, "Yeah, right."

Elaine herself said it does not feel anything, but he also a serious concurrence, her ears can not help but redden: "that ...... that we often return to James' Mansion in the future ...... "

"It depends."

Elaine bristled, but understood that he didn't have much time, she whispered, "Then I'll come back by myself, Auntie Christine looks really lonely all by herself eh."

Darnell put his hand on her shoulder and looked out the window, wondering what he was thinking.

Elaine looked at Jiang Jing who was not far away and suddenly spoke, "Do you remember, what you promised me?"

Darnell retracted his thoughts, "Hmm?"

"You really don't remember."

Darnell: "......"

He promised her a lot, indeed.

Darnell was silent for two seconds: "Can you give me a heads up?" NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Elaine got out of his arms and made a face, "I can't, just forget it if you don't remember, it's not very important anyway."

Darnell rubbed her head and laughed silently.

Elaine actually enjoys his intimate gestures and can empathize with why cake always likes to rub her head with it.

After a few brief seconds, Elaine leaned back into his arms, "That's good enough."

Someone once said that one should not be too greedy and want everything, or one will have nothing.

So, everything is enough for her now.

They were able to live together all the time, and her father was still alive, and Auntie Christine accepted her.

Nothing could be more beautiful than all of this put together.

......

After a few days, Elaine took a time when the store was not busy, made some desserts and took them to James' Mansion.

Christine was not surprised by her arrival.

Although the last dinner was very cordial, Elaine was inexplicably nervous when it was just the two of them.

After she put the dessert down and sat for a while, she got up and said, "I ...... I brought it for Auntie Dolores too, let me take it over to her."

Christine said, "She's still at church, I'll have someone send her there later."

Dolores returned to James' Mansion, as she had promised, and spent three years in church praying and repenting for the things she had done.

Hearing her say that, Elaine resumed her seat.

Christine's eyes fell on her empty wrist and asked, "Why aren't you wearing the ring I gave you?"

Elaine said, "I have to make desserts in the store every day, afraid of touching the damage, so I put it away ......"

Said, and afraid of Christine unhappy, quickly added, "I put it at home, have a good collection."

Christine smiled lightly, did not ask too much more on this issue, but said: "I believe you can see, I do not have a good relationship with Darnell, since childhood, I have been very strict and harsh on him, only want him to avenge his father, to inherit the patriarch of James family position, but ignored his inner feelings."

Elaine slightly froze: "This he did not say to me ......"

But after the words were spoken, Elaine suddenly remembered that when she was worried that Auntie Christine didn't like her, Darnell had said, "You're living with me." She had thought that it was a comforting remark, but now it seemed as if it wasn't without reason.

Christine continued, "I was, at one time, against you being together. Because I felt that you would cause him to make the wrong choice and to lose the ability to make decisions that he should have."

Elaine didn't say anything, pursing her lips gently, she couldn't deny that it was true.

"For reasons destined for this path, Darnell he has carried a lot on his back since he was a child, and his personality and feelings are cold, but that time he had a fight with me for you. Your father and I wanted to facilitate your marriage before, it was a matter of each taking what he wanted. If I had known he would fall in love with you, I would not have done it in the first place."

Elaine's hand on her lap clenched: "Auntie Christine, I ......"

"Elaine, you are a good boy, and I can see what it is about you that attracts Darnell, so I hope that in the days ahead you will love him as much as you do now, and he will love you the same way."

Hearing her words, Elaine's face gradually lifted into a smile and she nodded heavily, "Thank you Auntie Christine, I will."

As Elaine left, Christine said, "I hope the next time you come back, I can hear you call me Mom."

At that, Elaine was stunned for a moment.

The word "mother" was so foreign and longing in her world.
