“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?
Fia took a deep breath and explained, “Mommy encountered bad people before this. They’re still around, and I’m afraid that the bad people will find me and hurt me. Okay?”Adrian and Irene immediately became nervous and jumped into Fia’s arms.Irene sobbed. “I’m so sorry, Mommy! It’s my fault!”Adrian whimpered. “I’m sorry too, Mommy. You’re just being careful because of the bad people. Daddy told me about it too.”Fia was quite thankful toward Lucifer. While he was not a good person, he treated her children quite well.“Can you promise me one thing?”Adrian and Irene said at the same time, “Okay! We promise!”“Don’t tell anyone Mommy’s real name, alright?” Fia looked into their eyes, full of pity.Irene asked, “You’re worried that bad people will find you?”“Yes. I even changed my appearance so that the bad people won’t find me.”Adrian asked, a bit confused, “Then what do you look like in the past? Are you prettier now or back then?”Irene gave Adrian a hit in the head. “Ad
“Adrian, Irene. Every child has to go to a kindergarten when they’re around three years old. Many go to one when they’re around two years old. You’re already four. If you don’t go…”“Daddy said that my brother and I are especially smart and don’t have to go to school!” Irene shouted.Adrian looked at how strict his mother was becoming and he whimpered, “Daddy said that he never went to school too, but he’s still so smart and strong…”“You two shouldn’t learn from him!” Fia said with a headache. That b*stard!Irene said, “Mommy, don’t be angry.”There was fear in their eyes.Fia immediately showed them a smile. “Sure, I won’t be angry. Let’s have breakfast first.”After they had their breakfast, the two kids wanted to go out and play.Since they had always lived on the island, they had never seen anything that was fun. That was why Fia wanted to take them out to have some fun first.However, she wasn’t willing to let the matter of their schooling drag on. They were already four
That gained Lucifer’s ire as he scoffed and said, “And you’re not someone with one? You have the same dark personality traits as I do. Otherwise, how could you have survived for the past five years?”Fia was stunned.Lucifer continued, “Every time you go on a mission, your hands are always stained with blood. Didn’t you start with shaky hands at first but you got so good with it that it’s numbing your senses?”Fia gulped. There were no words that she could say to counter his argument.Lucifer was silent for a few seconds. He didn’t wait for her to speak again as he slowly became anxious and worried.“Fia, I don’t want Adrian and Irene to turn out like us. I simply think that they’re still too young. We need to focus on their happiness.”Fia then mechanically argued back. “They won’t be happy just because they don’t go to school.”“I can hire a tutor for them. Send them back. Your mission is going to be quite long this time. It’s just not as convenient.”“They’re my flesh and bl
