Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 995

"Then I should adopt a good girl instead of a disobedient you."

Elaine looked at him with resignation.

Franklin sighed. "Okay. Just listen to me for once. Apart from this, I will support you whatever else you want to do and whoever you want to be with, okay?"

"Then I want to be with Archer."

Franklin was a bit angry and took two deep breaths before saying, "Archer is different from Darnell. He and you are related by blood within three generations. You two can't..."

Elaine's head tilted to the side. "Anyway, I don't care. You just said it yourself. Anyone is fine as long as it's not Darnell."

"You're pissing me off."

Seeing that Franklin was angry, Elaine was afraid, "I'm just kidding. I don't like him."

"I know."

He was silent for a while, and he compromised a little, "How about this? You can go to City N the next long holiday. Still, the only condition I have is that you can't take the opportunity to sneak back to Riverside City, okay?"

Elaine didn't quite understand. Riverside City was where she grew up, so why could she not be able to go back?

However, looking at her father's gloomy expression, she nodded gently, "Yes."

Franklin finally let out a sigh of relief, "Go and fresh up. I will take you to eat something. You've lost a lot of weight."

Elaine pouted and nodded, seizing every opportunity to act miserable. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

When she turned around to go back to the bedroom, Franklin saw the suitcase and said, "You've been back for so long. Why is the suitcase still here?"

Elaine stammered in astonishment, "I feel so sick when I return. I can't even eat, so how can I still have the energy to pack?"

Franklin waved and told her to change her clothes.

...

Franklin stayed in Switzerland for three days.

He went to her school, met her classmates and teachers, and was satisfied with her learning environment.

Although Elaine said she did not need Franklin to accompany her, she was sad when he left.

"Make more friends so that you won't feel lonely."

Elaine did not want to contradict him. The loneliness of being alone in a foreign country could not be compensated for by making more friends.

"Well, be good. I've asked the maid at home to come over. She'll take care of you during your years in Switzerland. Just tell her what you want to eat."

"Got it."

Franklin admonished her a few more times before leaving anyway.

Elaine flopped down on the sofa while watching the empty house, looking sickly.

The maid arrived the following day.

With her, Elaine no longer came back to the cold air every day, and there was her favorite meal on the dining table.

However, she would not refute Elaine no matter what Elaine said.

As time went on, Elaine felt that the maid was sent by her father to monitor her every move here.

After a month, she was dragged by a classmate to a new restaurant near the school.

"I heard that the chef here is from your hometown and many people say his food is delicious. Try it and see if it is authentic."

Elaine nodded with a little spirit.

Still, when she took the first bite, she sat up straight as if her soul had been poured into her body.

"How is it? Is it good?"

"It tastes exactly the same as the restaurant I used to go to when I was home."

She flipped through the menu and exclaimed, "Even the dishes are the same!"

Elaine stepped into the kitchen as she spoke and saw a familiar face.

She often went to the restaurant when she was in Riverside City. The chef would let her try new dishes first and modify them according to her comments.

They knew each other.

Nicolas Melton quite surprised to see her and then smiled, "Miss James. What are you doing here?"

Elaine paused before speaking, " I'm studying here. How about you?"

"I got tired of staying in Riverside City, so I came here, but I didn't expect to meet you."

Elaine smiled, "Yes, that's too much of a coincidence!"

"Have you eaten the food today? How is it?"

"Delicious! I haven't eaten such dishes for a long time!"

"It's good that you like it." Nicolas turned around and picked up a plate, "This is a dish I am researching. Can you help me try it?"

Elaine took the spoon, "Sure."

In the following days, she went to the restaurant continually to chat with Nicolas, research new dishes, and talk about what happened in Riverside City.

She was much happier than before.

Darnell looked at the photos, in which her smile was bright and looked matched with the man beside her.

"What if she has feelings for this chef?"

Darnell put down the photo and spoke lightly, "Nicolas is 26 years old, five years older than her. As for his family, although it's not as good as the James, as long as he's genuinely good to Elaine, Franklin

won't object."

"What about you?" Ariel asked.

Darnell paused, "Me?"

"You sent her to another man personally. Do you really have no chemistry with her at all?"

Darnell looked at her with a cold expression.

Having realized she had said something unnecessary, Ariel shut up and retreated to one side.

Darnell put the photos in the drawer. "What about the Jiang family now?"

"Franklin has already sent back all the people we sent. It looks like he has already made his choice."

Darnell's expression remained unchanged: "No surprise."

Even though he had promised that as long as Hilbert was around, he would never deal with them.

But today, the Jiang family was not what it had been in the past.

Waiting for the purge of the Jiang family to end, if Franklin still persisted, then the target of the attack would become their family.

It was natural for him to find a way out now.

"Once Franklin joins their camp, Hilbert is also on their side, and with his reputation, we..."

"Have you ever pondered why Franklin would join them at this time?"

Ariel was slightly bewildered, unable to answer for a moment.

Darnell's voice was lower." Hilbert is dying."
