Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 996

Since she had Nicolas Melton to accompany her, Elaine James had enjoyed her life more. She had become as outgoing and cheerful as before.

On her birthday, Switzerland experienced the heaviest snowfall of this winter.

After class, Elaine plunged into the restaurant.

Because of the heavy snow, the number of customers in the entire restaurant was several times less than before. There were only a few scattered customers.

Nicolas smiled at her said, “With such a heavy snow, I thought Ms. James would not come.”

Elaine took off the hat on her head and patted the snow on her body, “How could I stand you up? Didn’t we both agree on the time? Have you prepared what I plead you to do?”

Nicolas nodded, “Ms. James, just go to the back kitchen.”

Elaine said happily, “Thank you!”

She trotted into the kitchen and found well-prepared molds and ingredients for cake.

Elaine took off her coat, rolled up the sleeves of her sweater, washed her hands, put on her gloves, took a deep breath, and stood in front of the workbench.

For the past two months, she has been learning cooking skills from Nicolas. And now her cooking skill was above average.

She had also learned to bake cakes before, but the cake was basically baked by Nicolas. She was just a sidekick then.

This was the first time she has tried to bake independently.

Elaine spent the whole afternoon there, engrossed in her baking.

At night, the restaurant was completely empty of customers.

Nicolas walked to Elaine and stand by her side. she had failed a few times and was trying different method.

He said, “Ms. James, let me help you.”

Elaine shook her head. “I want to do it myself.”

After a few more tries, Elaine finally baked the cake to what she wanted.

It also tasted very good. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Elaine said incredulously, “I made it!”

Nicolas smiled and said, “Congratulations, Ms. James.”

Elaine picked up the cake and went to the front hall with him.

She put the cake on the table and looked around, “There’s no one here?”

Nicolas said, “The snow is too heavy. It’s kind of lucky. No one will disturb Ms. James’ birthday.”

Elaine looked at him, “Thank you, you’re my best friend here!”

“Ms. James, you’re welcome.” Nicolas put up the candle and lit it with a lighter, “Ms. James, make a wish.”

Elaine nodded, clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes.

First, she wished that both grandfather and father can be healthy and live a long life.

Second, she wished that all the friends around her can be safe and happy.

Third, she wished...

Just when Elaine was making a wish, the wind chime at the door rang. The sound was crispy clear.

Elaine opened her eyes and turned around, “Is there any guests?”

Nicolas looked over and saw no one, “I’ll go check it out.”

Elaine nodded, and her eyes fell on the cake with flickering candles in front of her.

This was the first time she has finished independently, and it’s her special birthday cake.

So her wish will definitely come true.

Soon, Nicolas came back with a beautifully packaged jewelry box in his hand, “There’s no one there. But I found this at the door. Is it a birthday present from your friend, Ms. James?”

Elaine was stunned, friend?

She quickly took the jewelry box in Nicolas’s hand and opened it. It was a necklace inside.

None of her classmates knew her birthday was today.

Her father had brought her a birthday present a few days ago, so it certainly couldn’t be him.

An incredible thought suddenly flashed in Elaine’s mind. She raised her head rapidly and looked out of the restaurant.

Through the heavy snow, she saw a tall figure walking by.

Elaine quickly said to Nicolas, “I’ll go out first...”

Nicolas stopped her, “Ms. James, you haven’t finished the candle yet.”

Elaine ran a few steps and quickly turned back. Before blowing out the candle, she said some other wishes in her mind silently. She then quickly blew the candle out and ran out.

Outside the restaurant, there was only heavy snow. She couldn’t see any one.

Elaine looked around but still couldn’t find anyone. She didn’t want to give up and she just ran in a random direction.

On both sides of the street, there were only silent lamps, emitting a faint glow in the cold night.

Elaine ran to the intersection at one time, but still saw no one.

She was so tired that she stood there with slightly panting. Holding the jewelry box tightly in her hand, she then checked around. Her body was trembling because of anxiety.

Only the whistling of the wind could be heard.

The anticipation in Elaine’s eyes slowly dimmed. She then lowered her head.

She gradually calmed down. Yeah, he hated her so much. How could he come all the way from Riverside City to Switzerland just to give her a birthday present?

The last birthday wish had not been made just now. It’s hardly possible that her dream come true right away.

Elaine turned around and walked back slowly.

Just after taking a few steps, she felt like there’s a person standing not far away.

Elaine raised her head and looked at him uncertainly across the heavy snow.

The man held an umbrella and stood under the street lamp. His stern face was shrouded in wind and frost.

Elaine’s extinguished hope rekindled. She sped up her pace. She even started to run to him instead of walking. Eventually, she threw herself into his arms, with a choked and trembling voice, “It’s really you! I… I thought...I thought...”

Darnell James reached out and gently stroked her back, eyes down in silence.

Elaine hugged him tightly, feeling like she was in a dream. She was scared that she would wake up when she let go of him.

Time seemed to be frozen. The clock stopped right here.

After a while, Elaine, who was not wearing any coat, finally couldn’t stand the low temperature outside. She was shaking all over, even her lips were trembling.

Darnell said, “I’ll take you home.”

“No, no, I want to stay with you. I won’t go anywhere.”

Darnell asked her, “Aren’t you cold?”

Elaine was indeed cold. After careful consideration, she retracted her hand, but then stuck her hands into his coat again, buried herself tightly in his arms, so that she could feel his body temperature. She then said with satisfaction, “This way it won’t be cold. “

Darnell did not refuse her childishness, but said, “Don’t you finish your cake?”

Elaine shook her head, “No.”

Whatever he said, she wouldn’t let him go.

Even if it was a dream, she had to hold on to it.

After a while, Darnell raised his hand slightly. Just when Elaine thought he was going to hug her back, she felt the clothes draped over her shoulders.

Before she could do anything, Darnell had grabbed her wrist, pulled it out of his arms, and put on the coat for her.

The man who brought the clothes to them back up silently to the side.

Elaine’s mouth pursed, looking at him reluctantly.

After Darnell buttoned her up, he then put the hat on her head, “Okay, I’ll take you home.”

Elaine pulled his sleeve and said aggrievedly, “Today is my birthday… Can’t you have dinner with me?”
