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
So, there was no need for a reunion just because of nostalgia. Doing so would stir up more complications in everyone’s lives. After lingering for a few more minutes, Eileen sighed and left, seeing that the woman was not willing to open the door again.Stepping out of the apartment building, she saw a car waiting for her outside. After getting into the car, she held in the tears in her eyes and asked the driver, “Would you kindly find out who this woman is?”Kent shrugged and said, “Believe me, I’ve tried. But I can’t find anything. This woman isn’t a small fry.”“She’s got twins. A son and daughter. The boy is about four years old,” Eileen said anxiously.Kent looked at her speechlessly.Seeing that he was not going to budge, Eileen kept on saying, “Her voice! Her voice sounds just like Fia’s. They are about the same height too!”“Look, the world’s huge. It’s not uncommon to find someone resembling another from time to time!” Kent did not want Eileen to keep on dwelling on th
“Yeah? Well, I’ll pass!” Kent replied impatiently.He was so pissed. How could his close friends, every single one of them, all still dwell on Fia’s death after five freaking years?! It felt as though Fia’s death was still haunting them, especially today!Eileen understood Kent's frustration. After all, his childhood friend had fallen into despair and changed into a completely different man. Yet, as his best friend, Kent could do nothing to help him. If this happened to Fia, she would be frustrated too.“I’m sorry. I promise I'll try to keep it in the next time we meet.”Kent frowned. “We’ve known each other for so many years. So, I’d like you to trust me when I say I’m really concerned for you. You and Jase shouldn’t dwell on the past like this anymore. It’s bad enough that you’d lost Fia. Don’t tell me you want to lose yourself too! Move on! You still have a lot to look forward to in life!”Resting her head against the car’s window, Eileen said nonchalantly, “It’s not easy to ge
Victor smirked as he lazed on his sofa drunkenly. “Oh? That Gilbert lover boy? So, he finally won Doctor Sally’s heart, aye?”“That… we don’t know. But this woman clad herself in layers of clothing. She even wore sunglasses and a face mask. So, we couldn’t see who she is,” his secretary said.It was then Victor widened his eyes in excitement.He had a hunch that this woman was her. Well, of course. She was also Kent Gilbert’s friend.“Boss, what’s wrong?” The secretary was surprised to see his boss like this. Victor had been drinking all day and had never shown interest in anything like this.“Where is she?” Victor sat up and grabbed the secretary’s collar.The secretary shivered in fear as he said, “She… She’s on the first floor’s balcony. Mr. Gilbert…”Not waiting for his secretary to finish his words, Victor shoved him away and ran out the door.……“Cough! Cough Cough!”Conrad coughed painfully as he held a hand on his chest. A few moments later, he got up from his bed and
“Watch your mouth! He’s my son. If I need something, I’d ask him directly. He will definitely answer to my whim.” Beryl responded with a gentle smile, “Now be a dear and wait downstairs. I’ll go help Conrad down.”Then, without giving Silas a chance to retort, she went upstairs. She needed to test Conrad to see if he had remembered anything.She was now finally living a luxurious life again due to her son’s memory loss. He would listen to whatever she said, and would do whatever she asked of him. She could not have this all taken away from her!Silas furrowed his brows as he glared at Beryl ascending the stairs. This old witch must be scheming something again!Just as Beryl was about to knock on Conrad’s door, Conrad opened the door and walked out in a full black suit. Standing with the support of his cane, Conrad took a long look at his mother before asking, “Do you need something?”Beaming a gentle smile at him, Beryl wiped her hands on his coat, pretending to help him do some d
Beryl had threatened Silas earlier that if he said anything that would affect her, she would let the cat out of the bag and tell Conrad everything about Fia.He was worried that his boss would remember Fia and refuse to live.The woman from yesterday appeared in Conrad’s mind.“I saw a mother and son yesterday. The boy’s quite cute.”He then paused. “But his mother isn’t.”Silas was confused. “Why are you interested in a mother and son?”“That woman’s around twenty-five years old. The boy is around four,” Conrad said with a frown. He felt uncomfortable just thinking about that woman.“I see.” Silas didn’t think that it was something worth noting.Conrad massaged his chest. “Her voice is similar to Felicity.”Silas stopped dead in his tracks and then turned to look at his boss.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Conrad’s expression was one of annoyance. He almost ran into him because he had stopped abruptly.Silas asked, “Did your mother introduce her to you?”“Of course
Fia believed that Lucifer must be sick in the head!“If you gave me a new identity, why don’t you put both children under my registration?”“I can. But you have to first become my real wife. Haha!” Lucifer snickered as he hung up.Fia did her best not to hurl the phone away. She turned around and peeked at the bedroom. The children were still asleep, and so she wanted to make their breakfast as soon as possible.She had no time to get angry because of Lucifer’s taunts.Either way, he had been treating the kids very well and it was fine that the kids also believed that he was their father.At least, Adrian and Irene could grow up in a complete family.After she was done making breakfast, Adrian and Irene were still asleep. She was just about to wake the two children up when the doorbell rang.She hastily went over and opened the door, and she frowned when she saw who it was.Silas looked at her curiously and asked, “Ms. Sia?”Fia looked at Silas coldly and asked, “Who are you?
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
