“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
Conrad rubbed Adrian’s head. “It’s bad stuff to learn. A child shouldn’t ask.”“Alright then. I’m not interested in learning bad stuff. Daddy says Mommy suffers a lot. Irene and I have to learn to be obedient. So, we agreed long ago that we will be obedient children!”“You’re really obedient.” Conrad took a look at the time. “Do you want to see your mother and sister?”Adrian nodded. “Yes! But Mommy said I was to wait for her at home.”“Should I bring you there?” Conrad wanted to develop their friendship.“If you bring me there, Mommy probably wouldn’t be afraid of me getting lost along the way.” Adrian was a little distressed. “But Mommy doesn’t like you. She gets unhappy when she sees you.”“She doesn’t have the mood to hate me now. She’s very worried about your sister.” Conrad analyzed it seriously for Adrian.Adrian nodded. “Then let’s go! Are you driving? But your leg…”“We can get a ride there,” Conrad said.If he was alone, he could still take the risk, but with the chi
Fia clenched her palms. "I'm sorry. I'm not used to giving my name to strangers."Sally approached her hurriedly. "Do you... Do you find me familiar?"For a moment, Fia did not know how to respond.Sally was even bolder than Eileen.Well, that made sense. She had always been a doctor, always saving lives and helping the needy, so her social circle was quite simple.Eileen was different. She had seen countless tricks and deceptions, and therefore wasn't so emotionally expressive.Sally looked at Irene. Her small face with big eyes, dark and bright, were quite similar to Fia’s eyes.However, this woman in front of her was significantly different from Fia.Different skin color, different eyes, and most notably, a different demeanor."You... You look somewhat like a friend of mine.""Really? I don't know if I should be honored or offended." Fia's tone turned somewhat cold. "Since I came here, quite a few people have said the same thing to me.""Have others said this too?" Sally
"I've always been suspicious of my brother. I'd find ways to follow him, but he only went to the laboratory and didn't meet anyone suspicious."Sally muttered to herself with her head lowered, her emotions a mess.Fia’s eyes reddened. She did not realize that Sally had been waiting for her all these years.She had only known Sally for a short time and did not think that she would have that much of an impact on her.She had not expected Sally to be just like Eileen, always thinking of her."Mommy, Adrian must be getting anxious." Irene shook Fia’s arm. "Let's go.""Alright." Fia looked at Sally a bit longer. "Take care and accept my condolences."Sally wiped away her tears and watched her back. It was so similar to Fia’s, yet their personalities were nothing alike.Back in her office, she called her older brother, Peter.“Pete, tell me honestly. Did Fia really die?""Yes.” Peter pressed frowned. "She's a dead person, and she’s not one of your parents. Why do you keep thinking
Fia let her lay on her lap and said, “Then don’t speak and lie down, okay? I’m worried for you.”Nodding her head, Irene laid down on her belly and pressed her face on her mother’s belly. “Mommy… you smell so nice.”Fia looked at the driver while petting Irene’s head and said to her, “Irene, close your eyes and have a nap. I will let you know when we’ve arrived.”“Okay.” Irene thus closed her eyes and fell asleep, soothed by her mother’s scent.Meanwhile, Conrad had just arrived at the hospital with Adrian. Adrian checked his watch and lamented, “Oh no! Mommy and Irene had left! We’ve missed them!”Conrad took a look at the boy and said, “They’ve just left. We can still catch up to them.”Adrian sighed. “If I knew this earlier, I could have just called Mommy.”Then, he looked at Conrad dejectedly. “This is all on you, you know? If you didn’t stop me from calling her, just because you didn’t want her to chase you away, we could have caught up to them.”“Yes, yes. It’s all my fau
“Yeah, I know.” Conrad suddenly had a hunch that he should not enter the street. This woman was not someone to be messed with. He knew how hard she hit. He suspected she even had professional close-quarters combat training.His theory was proven by the long, excruciating screams that came from the backstreet. Those men never had a chance against her.“Uncle, don’t worry. Mommy is really good at fighting. She’ll be fine.” Adrian comforted the man, thinking that he was worried for his mother.Nodding his head, Conrad asked, “Okay, I trust you. So, maybe we should wait here for a while?”“No! Irene’s still there. Irene’s really small so she can’t do much in a fight!” After saying that, Adrian hurried into the backstreet.“Adrian!” Conrad quickly followed Adrian worriedly. However, due to his limping leg, he was not quick enough to catch up to the boy.Meanwhile, Fia was glaring at the men that had just got beaten and dropped on the ground. Suddenly, a boy rushed to the scene and ca
She was not worthy of him.Right from the start."Wait a moment."She lowered her head to treat the wounds of a mother and son, then stood up with the medical kit and smiled at him."Shall I treat you to a meal?""Sure."She led him through the damp and moldy alley to a shabby restaurant.She ordered two bowls of noodles in the local language, sat down at the old table, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it vigorously.Conrad looked at her. It was obvious that she was different from before.She had gone through hardship, suffering, despair, and then settled down.The noodles were not delicious. There was no oil or salt, and even the soup was bland and tasteless.He looked at her sallow face and said, "Is this what you've been eating the whole year you’ve been here?""This is considered a good meal." Annie did not complain and said that she usually just ate some steamed buns.The conditions here were poor and backward in various ways.Moreover, Lucifer was determined to ma
Fia stood on the streets, looking at the photos and remembering what Lucifer had once mentioned."When everything is over, how about I take you, Adrian, and Irene on a trip?"The man's blue eyes were like the sea, looking at her deeply.She fell into a daze for a moment back then.After coming back to her senses, she replied without emotion, "You should find a partner and travel around the world, and I should live a good life with my children."The sound of car horns on the road brought Fia back from her thoughts.She looked at the blue sky and white clouds and remembered the beggar boy she met on the bridge when she was a child.If he hadn't been taken away that day, would it have been different if he managed to wait until she and her mother went to find him?The days ahead were still very long, and she was not sure whether she would be able to live peacefully with Conrad in the future.But she would never swallow her anger like she did before.Later, Conrad, a decisive char
Irene whimpered, turned around, and hugged Adrian. "Adrian, does Daddy not want us anymore?""No, don't talk nonsense! Didn't you hear what Daddy just said?""I heard him, but why do we have to choose? I won't be happy no matter who Mommy marries.""Shut up!" Adrian was a little anxious. If this silly sister of his said in front of everyone that their mommy could marry two men, it would be over!"Why shut up? Why can't we be with Mommy, Daddy, and our biological dad..."Adrian immediately covered her mouth. He knew that this sister of his could not speak normal words!Everyone in the audience also had mixed emotions. Those who originally complained about Lucifer’s actions all became quiet at this moment.With Lucifer’s blessings, Conrad took off the mask.Fia looked at him, tears rolling down her face.How much she had wished to have a wedding back then. She did not expect it to be so many years late.Conrad said with difficulty, "I didn't expect him to do this either."He w
"Do you really want to stop the wedding?" Lucifer smiled half-heartedly, looking at him like a fool.***"What's going on? Why hasn't the groom come yet?" Everyone couldn't help discussing.Fia stood on the stage and exchanged looks with the emcee.Both of them were a little tired from standing.The emcee asked her awkwardly, "The groom?""He should be coming soon." After Fia finished speaking, the wind blew and revealed her face under the veil. "Just wait."The emcee cursed internally. 'It's really rare to have a wedding with such a beautiful bride kept waiting.'Fia fiddled with the veil on her head to cover her face, making her hazy beauty even more attractive.Just as everyone was waiting impatiently, the music suddenly changed to a more passionate one.The groom appeared.Wearing a black suit with gold threads and a blue rose on his chest, the six-foot-two man wore a golden mask on his face.With just one glance, Fia’s heart suddenly jumped and her body temperature bec
The two kids could only rush back to find their mother and tell her what happened.Fia did not panic. "You were raised by Daddy. Don't you trust him? He is a man who keeps his promises. He said he is just inviting them to the wedding, so they are just attending the wedding."Even though she was suspicious in her heart, she would not speak ill of him to her two children.This island belonged to Lucifer, and his spies were everywhere.If he was infuriated, no one stood to gain anything from it."But that person was not arranged to sit down. He was taken into the woods," Adrian said anxiously.Fia turned to look at her son. "Are you worried about him?"Adrian could not look directly at her.Irene spoke first. "I'm the one who’s worried. I don't want them to fight.""Oh." Fia reassured them. "It should be fine. Today is a special day. Your daddy will not want to see blood."She thought Lucifer was simply afraid that Conrad would cause trouble, so he brought him to the island to l
Amused, Lucifer said, "Those people are not under my command.""They gave you all the companies under their names. You said you'd let bygones be bygones, but if you go back on your word, how will your subordinates see you?"Fia’s eyes were a little arrogant.Lucifer’s expression turned cold and he stared at her and said, "How important do you think Hellish Training Camp is to me?""Then give it away!" Fia raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of teasing.Lucifer was speechless for a couple of seconds and explained to her seriously in a rare instance, "Those people have sacrificed a lot since they started following me. I can't ignore them. Except one day when there is a more suitable successor. I will take the initiative to give up my position.""Then you have to lead them well." Fia smiled slyly.Lucifer gritted his teeth with hatred. "Marrying you is equivalent to marrying a housekeeper. From now on, must everything I do have your permission?"Fia said, "Invisible shackles."On
"I got it.""Thank you, Daddy!" Adrian kissed him twice on the face. "My sister and I will take care of you until you die.""Hahahaha!" Lucifer could not stop laughing. "Okay, I'll wait until you two grow up to see me off."He smiled while carrying Adrian and walked to Fia and Irene.Irene was eating something and said vaguely, "Adrian’s temper is getting worse now, and he lost his temper with me.""Who is angry with you!" Adrian slid off Lucifer. "Who do you think you are, that you can influence me?""Mommy, Adrian is shouting at me!" Irene pouted.Adrian turned his back. "Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore."Lucifer and Fia looked at Irene."Mommy, Daddy, what are you looking at me for?" Irene blinked, looking innocent.Lucifer sat down beside her. "Adrian should love you, but you should also respect him.""Didn't I respect him?" Irene was a little confused.Fia said, "While I'm still here, you just spread rumors that he is angry with you."Irene replied, "But he was
Eileen returned to the living room."Is she really going to marry Lucifer?" Victor asked nervously.Eileen remained silent.Victor threw the spatula in his hand. "Can't you stop her for a bit?""Why should I stop her? No matter who she marries, she will always be my best friend!" Eileen said angrily. "Whoever wants to stop her should stop her on their own!"Victor saw that she was angry and quickly picked up the spatula. "I'm going to cook."Eileen rolled her eyes at him, sat on the sofa, and scrolled through her phone.Thinking of Adrian and Irene, she could not help but feel a little irritable.What if Fia and Lucifer had a child in the future?For the happiness of the two children, she forwarded the photo sent by Fia to Conrad.After Conrad received the photo, he immediately ordered everyone under him to put down all work and find the location in the photo.Three days later.The wedding on the island was beautifully decorated, dreamy and gorgeous, with Lucifer’s involvem
Soon, Fia knew what they were doing with just a little of the decoration showing.Decorating the wedding venue.Irene was a little girl who was very happy when she saw balloons and pink ribbons.She ran over and grabbed them, but her brother, Adrian, slapped her little hand."Don't cause trouble!""So beautiful! These uncles and aunts were invited by Daddy. Can't I play with these things?"Adrian pinched her cheek and said, "That's Daddy decorating the wedding scene for Mommy!""What?" Irene immediately retracted her hand and said with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. I didn't know."Adrian rubbed her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Don’t simply meddle. It should be beautiful when it's done."Irene nodded, took her brother’s hand and hid under a nearby coconut tree, and spent the whole day doing nothing except cooking and watching them.By evening, the dreamy and beautiful wedding scene was mostly completed.Irene leaned against her brother and asked dully, "Daddy and Momm
