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
Her gaze flitted on the nude stockings Beryl was wearing.“This is a personal attack!” Beryl was so angry that she made a call with shaking hands. “Conrad, what are you thinking? This woman insulted and mocked me…”Conrad was speechless.His mother only spoke halfway but the message was enough.Conrad looked at the table full of top management personnel staring at himself and coughed twice.Silas immediately asked, “Sir, are you feeling uncomfortable?”Conrad hit his chest. “My stomach is not feeling too good.”Silas immediately said, “Then should the meeting be halted? Shall I bring you to the hospital for a checkup?”“Alright.” Conrad’s right hand clenched into a fist by his lips and he put on an act of coughing.Silas immediately helped him out of the meeting room.The car started and Conrad was just about to tell Silas to go to Aurora Residences.But Silas spoke first. “Did Madam Beryl cause some trouble with Ms. Sia?”“How are you so smart?” Conrad was a little embarra
Beryl, the “victim” started to speak. “Son, you must have gone mad! She hit me. Why are you apologizing!”Conrad ignored his mother and looked at Fia sincerely. “My mother made you unhappy. If you are angry, just direct your anger at me.”“Conrad!” Beryl was angered beyond words.Fia felt so much disdain that she shouted till her ears hurt and threw her aside.“You outrageous woman!” Beryl’s behind was hurting from the fall and she stretched out her hand toward Silas, but noticed that he was not looking at her and was busy supporting Conrad.She could only help herself up with the wall.Silas swept her a glance from the corner of his eyes. He intentionally pretended not to see her stretching her hand toward him.He did not directly deal with Beryl. But this Ms. Sia could. She really helped him vent.“Get lost with your mother,” Fia said to Conrad as she looked at him coldly.Conrad nodded. “Silas, get Charles to send my mom back to the old residence.”“Conrad!” Beryl was unab
Fia blocked their sight. “Are you hungry? I’ll make some food.”“We’re not hungry, Mommy!” Adrian pulled her away and ran to the door to glare at Beryl. “Why are you glaring at us?!”Beryl was stupefied for a moment as she stared at the boy’s eyes. That gaze was very similar to Conrad’s when he was young!Conrad also looked at Adrian and noticed that today he did not wear color contacts and his eyes were indeed amber, like his.Silas also saw it and asked in delight, “Is this the original color of your eyes?”“All of you are interrupting!” Adrian said directly. “I’m talking to her!”He pointed at Beryl. “I’m asking you. Why are you glaring at us!”“My eyes are mine. Do I need to explain to you?” Beryl instantly hated this child. His temper was exactly like Conrad’s, not the least bit likable to her!“You’re not allowed to bully my brother!” Irene shouted childishly. She pulled her hand from Fia’s grasp and ran to Adrian’s side.She held her brother’s hand as she glared at Bery
