“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
Seeing the situation, the passersby could not help but laugh.Adrian asked, not understanding why, “Mommy, why do they laugh when they see us?”“Because you and your sister are very adorable and beautiful. We adults love looking at adorable and beautiful things.”Fia dragged both children out of the airport and made a call. Soon, someone came over.“Miss Fia, please get into the car.”The chauffeur opened the door to the back seat.Irene hugged Fia’s neck and said, “Mommy, this car is so pretty!”It was a big, red RV, domineering and charming.Fia swept a faint glance. “If you like it, shall we use it to get you to kindergarten in the future?”“Alright!” Irene was happy for a couple of seconds before asking, “What’s a kindergarten?”The trio talked fervently in the back seat.Adrian said, “It’s a place to gain knowledge. Daddy told me.”“Why didn’t he come along with us?” Irene was curious yet sorrowful. “We have never been apart from Daddy on the island.”Fia rubbed Irene
“How pitiful!” He sighed.The hired driver found it funny and asked, “Who’s pitiful?”Adrian pointed at the man in front. “That uncle is so young and he’s already using a cane, like an old grandpa.”The driver took a look and said, “I reckon he’s a lame man.”“I can tell. That’s why I said he is pitiful. He is about the same height as my dad. My dad is amazing. He can kill a tiger with a single blow!”“Hahaha, kid, don’t exaggerate when showing off! Nowadays, when we see tigers, we will be scared to the point of sh*tting or peeing our pants. Who would still dare to fight one?”“It’s true!” Adrian was a little angry. “You don’t believe me! When my mom returns, ask her!”The driver turned his head back to ask in curiosity, “Your mom is quite pretty. Your dad should be quite handsome too, right? Otherwise, how could you be born so good-looking?!”“That’s right! My dad is very handsome!” Adrian’s big eyes blinked. “However, my dad doesn’t let me tell my mom that he took off his mas
Conrad, who was labeled a cheat, was stunned.How did he end up being a cheat?He didn’t call the child over!It was the child who came running over!“Mommy, this mister is a lame,” Adrian muttered softly.Fia replied, “Who knows whether it’s true or false?!”She was a little angry as she looked at the man her son labeled lame.If not for wearing sunglasses, her trembling eyes would have been noticed by Conrad.She stared at Conrad as all the messy things of the past came rushing back to her and hatred overflowed!Her hand grabbed the dagger at the back of her waist.“Mommy, this mister isn’t a cheat. I can tell.” Adrian sized up Conrad in detail and looked at him pitifully.Conrad frowned. Although he could not see the girl’s entire face, nor could he see her eyes…He felt that something was not quite right. This woman had murderous intentions toward him.He reckoned that she was worried about her soon, and thought that he was acting lame to kidnap and sell him off!“Mom
Fia whipped a kick at Conrad’s right leg, forcing him to kneel down from losing balance. Kneeling down, the man raised his head and stared at the skinny woman before him, wanting to have a clear look at her face.She had a refined nose, slightly tanned skin and a pair of cold, seductive eyes. Even with the sunglasses, she was quite a looker. The woman looked at him with a faint smile curved across her face. “Who… Who are you?” Conrad asked as he held a hand on his aching chest. He did not understand why… Although he did not know this woman nor had he seen her before, Conrad could feel his heart aching agonizingly from just seeing her. Fia’s eyes turned even colder as she replied, “Me? I’m the woman who made you kneel!”Finishing her words, she carried her son in her arms and returned to the car. Seeing her mother and brother come into the car, Irene held Fia’s hand and asked curiously, “Mommy, why did you bully that big mister?”“I did not.” Fia took her children into her
Lyn sighed and stopped talking. She knew there was nothing she could say to make Eileen forgive Conrad.Looking at the woman in the picture, Eileen had an idea. Perhaps Conrad would stop entertaining Felicity after this woman appeared in his life? Just because she and Fia looked somewhat alike?Eileen really hated Felicity! This wench was just like Esme! No matter how much she pretended to be kind and innocent, she was just another filthy wench that got near Conrad with ulterior motives. “Lyn, get Kent to find this woman. I want to make a deal with her!”Hearing those words, Lyn could not help but to have a bad feeling about this. “Eileen… Could you please focus on your work and not do anything reckless…”……At midnight, Fia submerged herself in a full tank of warm water in her bathtub after soothing her children to sleep.Her mind was completely muddled with all kinds of thoughts after meeting Conrad that day. She had not felt so much frustration and annoyance in such a long
Therefore, it was quite unlikely for them to have any visitor—especially at this hour. She had to be vigilant.After opening the door, Fia furrowed her brows when she saw a woman wearing a long coat, sunglasses, and face mask standing before her. This made her even more cautious than ever.Then, the woman took off her sunglasses and face mask. It was Eileen! Eileen gave her a sweet smile and said, “Good evening. I’m sorry for disturbing you at this hour.”Fia felt as though something had gotten stuck in her throat while she stared at the woman before her. How did Eileen find her? Could Lucifer have told Eileen about her? That she faked her death? This was not entirely impossible since Lucifer was a complete nutjob who would never do things by the book!“Miss, I suppose you know me, right?” Eileen said, “I’m Eileen. A superstar.”Fia blinked and looked at her old friend again intently. She then realized that Eileen had not recognized her yet.“Of course. You’re quite popular, Ms
“I haven’t considered that you might have a family… or that you already have children. If I knew that, I wouldn’t have come to ask something so horrendous from you,” Eileen explained.“It’s alright.” Fia stood up and said, “Allow me to see you off, Ms. Reid.”“Certainly. Again, I’m terribly sorry.” Eileen apologized as she walked toward the door.Suddenly…“Mommy, who’s she?” Adrian asked as he stepped into the living room barefooted, rubbing his eyes drowsily.Fia hurried to him and asked, “Adrian, why aren’t you wearing your slippers? You could catch a cold!”Then, she quickly went to her son’s room to bring him his slippers. Eileen and Adrian, on the other hand, were staring at one another in the living room.“Who are you?” Adrian asked curiously. Feeling an intense warmth from meeting the boy, Eileen stepped toward him, squatted down and spoke to him gently, “Hello, my name is Eileen Reid. I’m a superstar.”“Eileen Reid?” Adrian blinked and stared at her momentarily bef
