“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
Once he left, all his previous efforts would go to waste.This bad tempered woman would be even colder toward him!Also, the two children were watching, so he could not give up.Silas knew that once Conrad decided on something, he would not budge. So, he could only stop giving advice.“Madam Beryl, let me send you downstairs.”“He has to leave too!” Beryl was very fearful that her son would be seduced by the siren, one who had other burdens!She was really about to die of anger!She thought that once he lost his memory, he would know his place!After Esme and Fia’s deaths, he still did not know how to appreciate Felicity, who was outstanding in all areas!To think that he fancied a girl with children!“Silas!” For the first time, Conrad hated his mother’s b*tchy face.Over these five years, she had appeared to be gentle and generous, kind and virtuous. Now, she was acting so harsh against someone who had no hatred against her.She did not even bother to restrain her b*tchy
“Mommy!”Irene and Adrian both ran to the room door and knocked on the door.“What’s wrong! Mommy?”Fia had her back against the door as tears streamed down her face.“I’m fine. I don’t want to see him!” She couldn’t help it, but her voice was a little hoarse.Outside the door, Adrian and Irene felt the bitterness as both of them looked at Conrad.“Uncle, you should leave,” Irene said.Adrian added, “You made Mommy unhappy. You should leave.”Conrad swallowed, staring at the door, panicking and not knowing what to do.She was so fierce. Why did she suddenly start crying?She was crying, right? Her voice seemed to be a little hoarse.“She seems to be crying.” He pointed at the door. “Let me settle the problems I caused by myself.”Adrian and Irene looked at each other, moving away from the door.Adrian said, “Then watch your tone. Don’t glare at her.”Irene continued, “This is your only chance.”Conrad felt extra stressed. He walked to the door and raised his hand to knoc
“Uncle?” After Adrian served his sister, he offered the popcorn to Conrad.Conrad shook his head. "You guys can eat. I'm an adult. I won't be eating anymore."“You are just like our mother,” Adrian said quietly as he turned his head to look at the kitchen. “Are all you adults so boring? You don’t eat much good food!”“Perhaps.” Conrad smiled.“That isn’t the case!” Irene interjected. “Some adults love snacks, eating till they are like big fatties!”“Woof! Woof! Woof!” Milo, who was hiding and sleeping, came running over, barking at Adrian.Adrian snuck a peek at the kitchen and then grabbed a handful of popcorn before putting it on the floor for Milo to eat.Irene saw it and said, “Adrian, don’t feed Milo these. Mommy said that his fur will fall off. When the time comes, the house will be full of fur and even Milo will not feel comfortable!”Adrian looked at Irene in astonishment. “Why did you say so much at one go?”Irene said proudly, “Because I’m amazing!”Adrian blinked a
The phone rang a couple of seconds before someone picked up.“Daddy, Irene bled. I pricked her.”At that moment, Lucifer was just about to leave the house. Hearing his words, he opened the door and re-entered the house, sitting down in the living room.He asked carefully, “What is going on? Did your mother and sister bully you?”“No. Sob, sob, sob. Sister suddenly called Mommy properly and she could speak much better than before. I thought that her sickness would be cured, so I pricked her to try to test it out. It was a very shallow prick, but still a lot of blood came out.”Adrian was crying so hard that he almost lost his childishness.Conrad stared at Adrian quietly, guessing what the man on the other end of the line was saying from his response.“Daddy, it’s my fault! I harmed Irene.”Lucifer said, “The one who knows not is not guilty of his crime. You also did it for her sake. Irene will understand. Where are you now? Who are you with?”“Mommy brought Irene to the hospit
