After a few seconds of silence, Fia put a hand on her slightly bulging tummy and said, “Our babies and I will be waiting for you at home.”“Fia, will you miss me?”“Why should I miss you?” Fia raised her head and teased him, “We see each other every single day.”Looking into her eyes, Conrad felt dejected as he tightened his embrace around her waist. “Then who’d you miss?”Fia gave him a mischievous, teasing smile and asked, “Who do you think I’d be missing?”This was something they did. They would exchange questions like they were having a small squabble. Conrad wanted to ask her if she would miss Jason. After all, they had not met for such a long time. Still, he did not dare to ask her, fearing that she would give him an answer that he would not like to hear.Knowing her, Fia would probably not deny anything if she did miss him. Instead of lying and hiding it from him, she would actually admit to it.Fia maintained her smile as she pinched his chest. “Conrad, we’ve been sleepi
“Here! Have some water and clear your head. I have some business to talk with you about.”Conrad nodded before drinking the water. He did not want Fia to find out that he had been drinking at noon and upset her.…After using her new connections to switch off the hospital’s surveillance camera, Esme snuck into her mother’s private ward.“Mom? Mom?”Hearing a familiar voice, Beth opened her eyes in surprise.“Oh, Esme! You’ve finally come to see me.”Esme caressed her mother’s forehead with a smile. “Does it still hurt?”“Not anymore.”“I’m so sorry. It must have been difficult pretending to be in a coma.”Beth shook her head and said, “No, not at all. I’ll do anything as long as you’re doing well. I’m sorry, Esme. I was so strict on you back then. I don’t wish for anything else. I just want you to live healthily and happily.”Tears welled up in Esme’s eyes as she held Beth’s hand.“Are the doctors and nurses treating you well?”“Oh, they’re really good to me.” A scowl appe
“Mom, if I get to be your daughter again in the next life, I promise I’ll take care of you. I’ll be the best daughter you ever have,” Esme said to her mother lovingly.Hearing this, Beth shook her head and said, “No, I was not a good mother to you. If I get to be your mother again in the next life, I’ll be less strict with you… I’ll shower you with more love.”Wiping her tears away, Esme asked, “Mom, is there anything you want me to do for you?”Pausing for a few seconds, Beth said, “I want to see your father.”“Alright, I’ll bring him over tomorrow.”“Your father had a son with another woman out there.” Beth said coldly, “That woman brought that b*stard of his to see him a few days ago.”“Mom, what exactly do you want me to do?”Esme asked with a tinge of fear creeping on her mind. She feared that her mother would ask her to murder that homewrecker and b*stard.Holding her daughter’s hand, Beth said, “You have the resources to change how you look. So, you must also have the me
Before the bankruptcy of his company, Hank had purchased a villa and expensive car for Louise. He even transferred a lot of properties to her behind Beth’s back. With this much wealth bestowed to her, Louise did not need to worry about living like how she did. At first, Louise only wanted to use Hank. However, as time went by, she had grown attached to him and developed feelings for him. Now that she had given birth to his son, she found herself even more fond of him.Even after Hank was bankrupt, Louise still kept him at her home, willingly providing for him. After all, he was the reason she and her son had such a good life. So, other than her feelings for him, Louise also wanted to repay him.It was not difficult to feed an extra mouth. So long as they did not spend irrationally, they could still live quite comfortably. “What’s wrong? You look so pale.”Louise caressed Hank’s face in concern.However, Hank glared at her furiously. “Is he mine?”“What?”Louise was stunned he
Hugging her son tightly, Louise glared at Hank woefully. “I’ve lived my whole life honestly. The only thing that I’ve done wrong was falling for you, a married man!”“…”Hank glared at her and said, “But the paternity test says that he’s not my son!”Louise quickly put her hands on her son’s ears, fearing that he would feel hurt from his heartless father’s hurtful words. She was the one who seduced a married man. This was her sin, so it should be carried by her and her only! Her boy did not deserve to be chastened and disgraced by this horrible man!With tears rolling down her face, Louise yelled back, her heart aching, “I am innocent! He is your son! He is!”Hank furiously flipped a table nearby and yelled, “You still intend to keep up with this lie?! I’m warning you! You better return everything I gave you today, or else!”Louise stared at Hank, devastated, and said, “I see… This is an act… If you wanted me to return the money you gave me… you could have just asked!”She was s
He stared at the car that knocked Louise down for a moment before a moment of clarity hit him. He finally realized what was actually going on.“It’s your own fault!” Esme locked her eyes with her father’s and yelled, “This is all your own fault! You have no one to blame but yourself!”Staring at his daughter’s hateful scowl, Hank replied, “But Louise and the boy are innocent…”“No! You’re all guilty! She robbed my mom’s husband from her. As for that boy…” Esme turned and glared at the little boy that was so shocked that he could only look on silently.“No!” Hank hurried over to pull his son into his embrace.Louise did her darndest to sit up and said to Esme as blood bled from her mouth, “Please… let my son go… If you want to punish someone… you can do it to me… Please… kill me… not my baby boy…”Esme was so overwhelmed by anger and hatred that her tears streamed down her face.“Why? Why is my life so unfair?! Why can’t my parents ever truly love me?!”Hank put a hand over
According to the news report, Hank had hit his mistress with a sports car. When the ambulance arrived on scene, they saw him choking his son.After the ambulance crew pulled the boy out of his grasp, Hank immediately passed out. So, the crew brought Hank, his mistress, and the boy to the hospital for treatment. Hank woke up when the police arrived at the hospital. According to them, Hank was laying on the bed, staring into space. When the police and press questioned him, he immediately confessed to committing the crime.In just one evening, everyone was talking about this on the internet. There were arguments that defended him, saying that Hank was probably not in his right mind because he had gone through bankruptcy. Indeed, he turned his back on his marriage and had a child with his mistress, but the mistress now had taken the last piece of his wealth. When he misunderstood that his son was not his, he lost control of his temper, tried to run over his mistress, and tried to murder
Fia and Louise’s son reached the entrance to the ward. Conrad spoke with the police, and they let Fia in.When Fia saw the little boy whose hand was held by the nurse, she instinctively extended her hand. “Can I take your hand?”The boy took a step back warily.The nurse then awkwardly explained, “The boy was still in shock and he doesn’t want anyone. It took us a long while too. But he’s only willing to stay with us because he probably knows that we’re hospital staff and won’t hurt him and his mother.”Fia quickly nodded. “He’s still too little. For him to go through something like this… It makes my heart ache.”The nurse also nodded in response. “That’s right. No matter how bad the adults’ relationships are, they shouldn’t drag children into this.”After they obtained the policeman’s agreement, Fia went in with the nurse and the boy. Meanwhile, Conrad and the policeman stayed outside the room.“My baby!” When Louise saw her son come in, she struggled to get up, but all she did
She was not worthy of him.Right from the start."Wait a moment."She lowered her head to treat the wounds of a mother and son, then stood up with the medical kit and smiled at him."Shall I treat you to a meal?""Sure."She led him through the damp and moldy alley to a shabby restaurant.She ordered two bowls of noodles in the local language, sat down at the old table, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it vigorously.Conrad looked at her. It was obvious that she was different from before.She had gone through hardship, suffering, despair, and then settled down.The noodles were not delicious. There was no oil or salt, and even the soup was bland and tasteless.He looked at her sallow face and said, "Is this what you've been eating the whole year you’ve been here?""This is considered a good meal." Annie did not complain and said that she usually just ate some steamed buns.The conditions here were poor and backward in various ways.Moreover, Lucifer was determined to ma
Fia stood on the streets, looking at the photos and remembering what Lucifer had once mentioned."When everything is over, how about I take you, Adrian, and Irene on a trip?"The man's blue eyes were like the sea, looking at her deeply.She fell into a daze for a moment back then.After coming back to her senses, she replied without emotion, "You should find a partner and travel around the world, and I should live a good life with my children."The sound of car horns on the road brought Fia back from her thoughts.She looked at the blue sky and white clouds and remembered the beggar boy she met on the bridge when she was a child.If he hadn't been taken away that day, would it have been different if he managed to wait until she and her mother went to find him?The days ahead were still very long, and she was not sure whether she would be able to live peacefully with Conrad in the future.But she would never swallow her anger like she did before.Later, Conrad, a decisive char
Irene whimpered, turned around, and hugged Adrian. "Adrian, does Daddy not want us anymore?""No, don't talk nonsense! Didn't you hear what Daddy just said?""I heard him, but why do we have to choose? I won't be happy no matter who Mommy marries.""Shut up!" Adrian was a little anxious. If this silly sister of his said in front of everyone that their mommy could marry two men, it would be over!"Why shut up? Why can't we be with Mommy, Daddy, and our biological dad..."Adrian immediately covered her mouth. He knew that this sister of his could not speak normal words!Everyone in the audience also had mixed emotions. Those who originally complained about Lucifer’s actions all became quiet at this moment.With Lucifer’s blessings, Conrad took off the mask.Fia looked at him, tears rolling down her face.How much she had wished to have a wedding back then. She did not expect it to be so many years late.Conrad said with difficulty, "I didn't expect him to do this either."He w
"Do you really want to stop the wedding?" Lucifer smiled half-heartedly, looking at him like a fool.***"What's going on? Why hasn't the groom come yet?" Everyone couldn't help discussing.Fia stood on the stage and exchanged looks with the emcee.Both of them were a little tired from standing.The emcee asked her awkwardly, "The groom?""He should be coming soon." After Fia finished speaking, the wind blew and revealed her face under the veil. "Just wait."The emcee cursed internally. 'It's really rare to have a wedding with such a beautiful bride kept waiting.'Fia fiddled with the veil on her head to cover her face, making her hazy beauty even more attractive.Just as everyone was waiting impatiently, the music suddenly changed to a more passionate one.The groom appeared.Wearing a black suit with gold threads and a blue rose on his chest, the six-foot-two man wore a golden mask on his face.With just one glance, Fia’s heart suddenly jumped and her body temperature bec
The two kids could only rush back to find their mother and tell her what happened.Fia did not panic. "You were raised by Daddy. Don't you trust him? He is a man who keeps his promises. He said he is just inviting them to the wedding, so they are just attending the wedding."Even though she was suspicious in her heart, she would not speak ill of him to her two children.This island belonged to Lucifer, and his spies were everywhere.If he was infuriated, no one stood to gain anything from it."But that person was not arranged to sit down. He was taken into the woods," Adrian said anxiously.Fia turned to look at her son. "Are you worried about him?"Adrian could not look directly at her.Irene spoke first. "I'm the one who’s worried. I don't want them to fight.""Oh." Fia reassured them. "It should be fine. Today is a special day. Your daddy will not want to see blood."She thought Lucifer was simply afraid that Conrad would cause trouble, so he brought him to the island to l
Amused, Lucifer said, "Those people are not under my command.""They gave you all the companies under their names. You said you'd let bygones be bygones, but if you go back on your word, how will your subordinates see you?"Fia’s eyes were a little arrogant.Lucifer’s expression turned cold and he stared at her and said, "How important do you think Hellish Training Camp is to me?""Then give it away!" Fia raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of teasing.Lucifer was speechless for a couple of seconds and explained to her seriously in a rare instance, "Those people have sacrificed a lot since they started following me. I can't ignore them. Except one day when there is a more suitable successor. I will take the initiative to give up my position.""Then you have to lead them well." Fia smiled slyly.Lucifer gritted his teeth with hatred. "Marrying you is equivalent to marrying a housekeeper. From now on, must everything I do have your permission?"Fia said, "Invisible shackles."On
"I got it.""Thank you, Daddy!" Adrian kissed him twice on the face. "My sister and I will take care of you until you die.""Hahahaha!" Lucifer could not stop laughing. "Okay, I'll wait until you two grow up to see me off."He smiled while carrying Adrian and walked to Fia and Irene.Irene was eating something and said vaguely, "Adrian’s temper is getting worse now, and he lost his temper with me.""Who is angry with you!" Adrian slid off Lucifer. "Who do you think you are, that you can influence me?""Mommy, Adrian is shouting at me!" Irene pouted.Adrian turned his back. "Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore."Lucifer and Fia looked at Irene."Mommy, Daddy, what are you looking at me for?" Irene blinked, looking innocent.Lucifer sat down beside her. "Adrian should love you, but you should also respect him.""Didn't I respect him?" Irene was a little confused.Fia said, "While I'm still here, you just spread rumors that he is angry with you."Irene replied, "But he was
Eileen returned to the living room."Is she really going to marry Lucifer?" Victor asked nervously.Eileen remained silent.Victor threw the spatula in his hand. "Can't you stop her for a bit?""Why should I stop her? No matter who she marries, she will always be my best friend!" Eileen said angrily. "Whoever wants to stop her should stop her on their own!"Victor saw that she was angry and quickly picked up the spatula. "I'm going to cook."Eileen rolled her eyes at him, sat on the sofa, and scrolled through her phone.Thinking of Adrian and Irene, she could not help but feel a little irritable.What if Fia and Lucifer had a child in the future?For the happiness of the two children, she forwarded the photo sent by Fia to Conrad.After Conrad received the photo, he immediately ordered everyone under him to put down all work and find the location in the photo.Three days later.The wedding on the island was beautifully decorated, dreamy and gorgeous, with Lucifer’s involvem
Soon, Fia knew what they were doing with just a little of the decoration showing.Decorating the wedding venue.Irene was a little girl who was very happy when she saw balloons and pink ribbons.She ran over and grabbed them, but her brother, Adrian, slapped her little hand."Don't cause trouble!""So beautiful! These uncles and aunts were invited by Daddy. Can't I play with these things?"Adrian pinched her cheek and said, "That's Daddy decorating the wedding scene for Mommy!""What?" Irene immediately retracted her hand and said with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. I didn't know."Adrian rubbed her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Don’t simply meddle. It should be beautiful when it's done."Irene nodded, took her brother’s hand and hid under a nearby coconut tree, and spent the whole day doing nothing except cooking and watching them.By evening, the dreamy and beautiful wedding scene was mostly completed.Irene leaned against her brother and asked dully, "Daddy and Momm
