The driver got out of his car with shaky legs. He had already taken out his phone to call for an ambulance.He didn’t want this to happen either. He kept on apologizing, and even his voice was shaking as his tears flowed out.“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry… Please don’t let anything happen to you!” The driver kept on begging as he looked at Conrad coughing out blood.Silas held Conrad’s hand as he whimpered.“Sir, you can’t leave us. Without you, what should we do…?”Five years later.An island on the equator.The sea was turquoise blue, the weather was quite hot, and the leaves of the trees were quite cold.A slender figure walked out behind some trees as she walked on the beach barefooted.She had thick black hair that was tied into a braid behind her.As she walked, her braid would flail behind her left and right by her waist.It looked pretty scenic when put together with the long white dress that she was wearing.Because of the long exposure to the sun, her skin was of a hea
The girl took the fish in Fia’s hand and walked ahead. “Just sleep.”The man hugged Adrian and Irene, and said with a sigh, “Adrian, Irene, have you all noticed?”“What?” The two children looked at him innocently.The man said, “She’s angry at me.”“Mommy won’t get mad at you!” Irene hugged the man’s neck and kissed the man’s face. “Mommy likes Daddy a lot!”The man smiled happily. “Then do you like Daddy?”“Yes! When I grow up, I want to find a husband just like Daddy!”Adrian frowned and stretched out his small, plump hand to hit Irene’s arm hard.“Ah, bro! Why did you hit me!” Irene’s eyes were filled with tears as she felt extremely aggrieved.“You’re talking nonsense. There is only one Daddy! No one would be like Daddy!”“Alright.” Irene sniffled aggrievedly. “I was wrong.”The woman walked ahead; a smile lingering at the corners of her mouth.Each day, as long as she heard the voices of the two children, she would feel very content.In the middle of the night when ev
“Yes. I was afraid that I would not make it back. I was afraid that my children would lose their mother.”She turned to look at the man. “However, I owe you my thanks.”The man looked at her deeply.“When I was in training, you brought Adrian and Irene up very well.” During those days, she would be fearful while she was training, worried that this madman would hurt her two children.In the beginning, after the training was done each day, he would carry the two children over to see her.Her body was covered in wounds, and she wished for nothing more than to lie down and never get back up.However, every time she saw him carrying her children over, no matter how tired she was or how much she suffered, she would struggle to get back up.Carrying her son and daughter in their swaddles with trembling hands, she would not feel she suffered.“Am I amazing?” the man asked.Fia smiled, her smile cool and indifferent.“If you aren’t amazing, how would I be here today?”She spread her
She kept wanting to ask Lucifer how Sophia was.Was she still alive or was she dead?However, she did not dare to ask.Since the day she decided to shut the screen, close her eyes, not listen nor look, she had already given up.She had given up on Sophia, so why was there a need to ask? How hypocritical!“I’m going to bed.” Fia got up, patted the gravel behind her and left.Lucifer sat where he originally was without moving. A few minutes later, another figure walked over.“What did you get Madam to do?”Lucifer raised his head to look at Sophia, his eyes full of mockery.“She doesn’t even see you as a friend. Are you still willing to follow after her?”Sophia was expressionless. “It was us who had let her down and did not protect her well.”“Haha, how interesting.” Lucifer used his index finger to scratch the back of his ear. “Do you know why I’m allowing her to bring the two children out on this mission?”Sophia was silent.She was worried, but did not dare to reveal the
At that moment, Silas wanted to stop it.Even if Fia was gone, Conrad should not be caught up in such a deceitful scheme.However, Beryl warned, “Do you want to watch as he follows that b*tch to death?!”He had personally witnessed how Conrad did not dodge or even try to evade when he was struck by a big truck.On the operating table, he was even less cooperative, having no will to live.For the sake of keeping him alive, he gave in.He helped Beryl wipe away all the traces of Fia.As long as he was alive. It was fine as long as he was alive.“Silas?” Conrad looked at Silas in displeasure, not understanding how he, who was always cautious and serious at work, would suddenly space out.“I’m sorry, Mr. Maxwell.” Silas was in pain. He stared at Conrad and could not help but ask, “Do you like Miss Parker?”“Yeah?” Conrad tilted his head. “Why would you ask such a silly question?”Silas gritted his teeth, no longer wishing to ask, as he thought of Fia’s suffering, and Sophia as w
These were all things she would never have done in the past.But with such an outstanding man, who could resist?“Dad, you don’t have to worry. I already have a boyfriend.”“Really? Introduce him to me.” Conall was a little agitated.Felicity wiped away the tears that were just shed. “He is very busy. He’s an entrepreneur. When he has more time, I will definitely bring him back to see you!”“Sure, sure.” Conall was a little more satisfied. He was worried that if he died some day, no one would love his daughter.Felicity left her father’s room and met with her uncle, Finn.Finn had a cold expression as he looked at her. “How long do you plan to keep this from your father?”“Uncle.” Felicity went forward, not the least bit angry as she said gently, “I am doing this for the sake of Parker Group.”“If your father knew everything you’ve been doing these few years, he would definitely be so disappointed!” Finn’s emotions were a little out of control.“Uncle.” A hint of ruthlessness
Conrad lowered his eyes and asked. “What is ‘like’?”Felicity was stunned and instantly got nervous.“Conrad, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Or did you recall something?”Conrad lowered his gaze, feeling that there was no need to ask all these.This kind of getting along with no waves, no burden, would not cause him any trouble.“It’s fine. Let’s go in.”After Felicity helped him to the living room, she personally went to cut up fruits and make tea.After she returned, she intentionally sat by his side.“Conrad, just now you asked me what ‘like’ is. I think I can answer you.”Conrad’s attitude was cold. “It was just a casual question. You don’t have to take it seriously.”“Like is liking something of someone, always remembering the person,” Felicity said gently. “The other person would make you feel calm when you feel lost.”Conrad’s expression did not change at all. “So are you telling me, I like you?”He turned his head and stared at Felicity. The words he spoke
“Silas, before I lost my memory, did I really have a good relationship with Felicity?”Conrad was very suspicious.Silas swallowed. “I am not too sure.”“My mother said that we were childhood sweethearts. Why don’t I have any memories of that?” Conrad asked.Silas thought of how Beryl was extremely kind to Conrad now.Every time he went to see her, she would cook for him. She was no longer cold with vitriolic mannerisms like she was in the past.He did not dare to mention to Conrad what his mother was like in the past.No matter how terrible Beryl was, he knew that Conrad had always seen her as his mother, and also hoped in his heart that she could be a normal mother.Now Beryl was a normal mother, and it was like this particular regret that Conrad had before was no more.Even if Beryl had her own personal agenda, as long as she didn’t harm Conrad, it was fine.However, in matters of the heart, he still did not like Conrad following Beryl’s arrangements blindly.“Sir, if you d
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
