He looked at the frigidness in her eyes and muttered, “Any bad intentions.”“Hahaha!” Fia let out a laugh. “No bad intentions?”The reason that she ended up like this was all because of his brutality and viciousness.“Why are you laughing?” Conrad felt upset. Why did her laugh sound like she was accusing him of something?“Nothing!” Fia stopped laughing at the next second and then turned to look at her twins coldly.Adrian and Irene were sitting on a wooden horse. They kept on chatting between themselves when they saw Conrad and their mother talking.“Adrian, why do you think Mommy is laughing? Did he say something that made her happy?”“She’s not really laughing,” Adrian explained. “She’s angry. She’s laughing angrily.”“Why are adults so complicated? She laughed… But she’s angry?” Irene patted the horse’s head. “It’s so complicated.”“You’ll know about it when you grow up,” Adrian said with a hint of sadness in his voice. “I wonder what we’ll become when we grow up?”“We’ll
“Uncle!” It was the first time that Adrian felt pain in his heart as he helped Conrad up.“I’m alright.” Conrad couldn’t bear to put all his weight on a child, and so tried his best to stand up himself.Fia tried her best to ignore the discomfort she was feeling. After getting Irene down from the wooden horse, she pulled up Adrian’s hood from his jacket.“Time to go home.”“Mommy!” Adrian cried out. “He got hurt because of me! His leg wasn’t doing well even before this!”Fia wanted to say that he deserved it!Even if he died for you, he deserved it all the same!However, she couldn’t say it when faced with her twins’ innocent gaze.“Mommy, he got hurt because of Adrian,” Irene said as she looked at her pitifully.Fia stared at Conrad as all her thoughts ran wild in her mind. In the end, she grabbed Conrad by the arm as she gritted her teeth.“You…” Conrad was slightly surprised, and he almost fell again as he lost balance.Fia got him up straight and said in annoyance, “You
Conrad didn’t expose them. Instead, he started a new topic.“Are you two in school?”Adrian shook his head. “We’re going to one after the new year.”Irene nodded. “My brother and I didn’t want to go originally. Daddy said that there’s no fun in school! But Mommy wants us to go, and we don’t want her to be unhappy.”Conrad gave it a thought and said, “Your daddy’s wrong, but your mommy’s right. Children need to go to school.”Adrian and Irene frowned and looked at him, upset.Conrad asked, “What is it?”Irene then said, “You can’t say bad things about our daddy.”Adrian nodded. “That’s right! That’s just not nice!”Conrad was stunned. Before he could even think of a way to argue, the children had already run away.The doctor smiled and said, “How can you speak about their father like that? Of course, they’ll get angry when it’s their father you’re talking about.” Conrad answered honestly, “Children should go to school.”The doctor laughed. “But they like to have fun. If the
“You must be overthinking it,” Silas explained. “Maybe it’s because you suddenly became curious about Ms. Sia and don’t want to have anything to do with Miss Parker that you’re becoming suspicious. The two of them don’t know each other at all.”“Really?” Conrad felt that something was amiss.“That’s right. You’re really just overthinking things,” Silas said as he nodded with a sincere smile.Conrad didn’t want to give it too much thought either. He had been so agitated for the past two days.“Sir, you still have to go to work,” Silas reminded him. “Madam Beryl had called the office this morning. I was the one that answered for you.”“What’s wrong?” Conrad didn’t get what Silas was trying to say.Silas said, “For the past five years, you would personally answer the calls from Madam Beryl.”Conrad still didn’t understand. “As my secretary and personal assistant, is there a problem for you answering a call for me?”“Of course, it’s nothing!” Silas couldn’t say what he was holding
Fia was somewhat stunned. He seemed different from before.Silas stood up straight and patted Adrian’s shoulder. “A man can endure a lot of things. You’ll be very strong in the future, too.”Adrian nodded solemnly. “Yes. I will get stronger and stronger, so I can protect my mommy and sister!”“Yeah, that’s good!” Silas sighed. Sia’s son was good-looking and obedient!“I’m leaving now, Ms. Sia.”Fia simply showed him the side of her face as she faced outside the door.Silas felt somewhat unpleasant. Before he left, he turned around and looked at Fia.“Ms. Sia, can I have a few words with you outside?”Fia looked at Adrian and Irene who were already attracted by his gifts. They didn’t notice what was going on here at all.“Adrian, Irene, just stay here for a while. I’m going out for a few minutes. I’ll be back soon.”“Alright, Mommy!” Adrian and Irene were both quite happy. They thought that she was going to visit the injured Conrad.Fia took the key and got out, and then stop
Fia realized that she was losing control of her emotions. She didn’t want to waste time anymore and simply turned around and returned home.Silas muttered to himself dejectedly, “No wonder the boss said you have a bad temper. She’s like a storm.”He looked at the bin and he narrowed his eyes.“No wonder she always tripped the boss with her kicks!”He got over to the bin and gave it a careful look, and even sized it up with his hands.That woman managed to make a hole around the size of three fists in one kick.Silas quickly ran back up. “Sir, I need to remind you of something.”“Say it!” Conrad was sitting on the sofa with a glass of wine in his hand.“Don’t drink that much, please,” Silas said with worry. “That Ms. Sia is not someone ordinary. You better not get close to her anymore.”“If she wanted to really hurt me, she has had a chance every time she saw me,” Conrad said after chuckling bitterly. After he was done with the red wine in his glass, he poured himself another.
Conrad hit Silas from the back with a smack. “Why do I feel like you’re cursing at me?”“I’m not!” Silas didn’t know if he should be happy or sad. The boss could be quite talkative after the amnesia. He was somewhat childish.… Family residence.Beryl was complaining while holding Felicity’s hand.“I wonder what Silas said to Conrad, making him not come home so suddenly.”Felicity consoled her. “Don’t worry. He must be busy with work lately. He’ll be back once he’s finished with work.”“Come now. How can I not love him as his mother? When he got into that accident, I was the one who thought of the way to wake him up.” Beryl pretended to wipe her tears away. “But Silas keeps on thinking that I have bad intentions and is wary of me.”Felicity gave it a thought and said, “Maybe you’re overthinking things. Silas centers everything around Conrad. Other than Conrad, he doesn’t listen to anyone. He doesn’t want to go against you.”“Ha! You wouldn’t know about it. Only I am sure abou
Felicity nodded. “I know. I don’t blame him.”Silas nodded, thinking that he managed to get it over with at least.However, Conrad acted differently today.“You got it right.” Conrad shifted his weight on Silas so it wouldn’t take that much effort for him to stand.His amber eyes stared at Felicity without any personal feelings toward her.“I’m avoiding the possibilities of any rumor.”Something disappeared in Felicity’s eyes.Meanwhile, Conrad felt that it wasn’t brutal enough and said, “I have no romantic feelings toward you, Miss Parker. Whether past or present.”“What’s wrong with you, Conrad?!” Beryl quickly walked over to stop him when she saw things were getting out of hand.She tiptoed and touched Conrad’s face. “Are you upset? You can always talk to me. No need to shift your anger on her.”Conrad pushed Beryl’s hand away. It was the first time that he had done it without any hesitation since he woke up.Beryl was stunned. Was the drug in the soup not strong enough?
