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?
“I never denied that fact,” Silas said with a smile, but his smile wasn’t genuine.“I told you, if you said anything to him, I’ll…”“You should know what kind of temper he had before he lost his memories. He’s only in a bad mood today. There’s no need to cause such a ruckus, right?” Silas said as he stopped being so aggressive.It was not the time for him to bare his fangs just yet. He had to wait until his boss was disappointed in Beryl.“You really didn’t say anything else to him?” Beryl stared at Silas.“He’s just too tired. You’ve taken care of him for the past five years and given him the motherly love that he always lacked. As long as you don’t hurt him, there’s no need for me to break this peace,” Silas said sincerely and managed to gain Beryl’s trust.The next morning, Beryl appeared outside of Conrad’s door with chicken soup again.“Are you awake, Conrad?”Conrad opened the door with his cane. “Good morning, Mom.”“Morning! Come, have a drink.” Beryl gave the chicken
“Are you okay?”Beryl was extremely shocked. “You’re such an excellent man, and you can find any woman you want. How did you end up wanting a married woman? And she has two children?”Conrad didn’t expect his mother to react so strongly.“Conrad, let me be clear with you. You can do whatever you want, but you’ll have to listen to me when it comes to your marriage! In my eyes, no one is more fitting than Felicity to be your wife!”Beryl was so angry. It had only been a few days and his heart was already taken by some random woman on the streets?Conrad’s temper also began to swell. “First of all, I told you I simply want to be friends with her and nothing else! Secondly, even if I do have feelings for her, that’s my own problem. What does that have to do with you?”“It has nothing to do with me?” Beryl was so angry that she almost cried. Her obedient son of five years had changed in just an instant!“I’m your mother! You said that you just want to be friends with her, but that’s
