Conrad hadn't even reacted yet, but Fia had already rushed over and carried both Adrian and Irene up together.Her strength wasn't something an ordinary woman had!Seeing their mother's stern and angry expression, the two kids immediately realized they had made a mistake.How could they have acted recklessly just because they liked Uncle Maxwell?And they had even pestered him to bring them to the company without telling their mother.She must have been frightened and angry.What should they do?"Mommy..."The two helpless kids wanted to explain."Who told you that it's okay to go anywhere with strangers? What if you get kidnapped?!"Fia couldn't control her voice, and her tone was a bit harsh.Adrian and Irene were scared, and they lowered their heads.Hearing those words, Conrad wanted to comfort the two kids.However, Fia did not give him a chance.Holding the two children, Fia walked outside, and Conrad followed with his cane, trying to explain and console."I hope y
Silas was astonished. "You mean that little boy's eyes are the same color as yours? Amber?"Conrad looked over speechlessly. “Didn't you know?”Silas quickly shook his head. He had been to Fia's house before and had seen the two kids a few times.At a glance, they were good-looking, but he hadn't paid close attention to Adrian’s eyes.Moreover, he remembered that when he first saw the kids, their eyes were both dark."So Ms. Sia's son has the same eye color as you?" Silas’ heart began to pound uncontrollably."Yes, that's right," Conrad said faintly.Silas wanted to say that amber-colored eyes were quite rare in all of Fortuna. Conrad had inherited them from his father, and his father had inherited them from Old Master Maxwell. For a little boy with amber-colored eyes to have appeared out of nowhere was somewhat strange!Silas thought of Esme who had faked her death, and then thought of Fia…Could it be that Madam hadn't died? Could Ms. Sia be Madam? This thought made him very
Irene quickly explained.“I was worried that Adrian would go blind.“Mommy, we won’t leave with Uncle without telling you in the future. Don’t be angry at us.”She tugged at Fia’s sleeve and as she spoke, Irene suddenly started crying.“I…”Fia could not help but feel a little suffocated.Did she speak too sternly to her two children?They were still children after all.Perhaps it was their blood relation to Conrad that caused them to follow their heart.Perhaps acting like this was a little too over the top.Along the way, Fia did not speak and simply drove the two children back home.Fia had just got them home when Milo, the sweet Pomeranian that had been napping on the couch, jumped down and dashed over.“Milo, I've missed you so much!" Irene embraced the little Pomeranian, rubbing her face against its head.Milo responded with a series of affectionate licks on Irene’s cheek.Sitting nearby, Adrian petted Milo’s comfortable fur and said, "Irene, we shouldn't have left
"What’s wrong?" Fia smiled sarcastically. "It’s not like I talked about your children. Why that expression?"Silas lowered his head, took a few seconds to compose himself, and then handed over the gift he held."Today, we shouldn't have taken the children away without your permission. This is a small token of goodwill, hoping that you will accept it and not blame Mr. Maxwell."Fia glanced at the gifts. "They're quite expensive, but unfortunately, I can afford them myself. Such small favors are of no use to me."Silas was speechless."Look, if your work life isn't too busy, you should consider your lifelong matters. You're not young anymore, right? You can't possibly spend your whole life following your CEO, right?" Fia’s tone was somewhat mocking.Silas stared at her blankly and mumbled, "Madam Fia wouldn't say such things."Fia frowned, feeling a stab in her heart.After enduring so much pain and becoming so desperate, did he expect her to be as foolishly kind as before?"Ms.
Conrad used his cane to jam the door.Fia used strength, wishing for nothing more than to break his cane.However, the material used to make his cane was special. It couldn’t be broken with a knife, nor could it be destroyed by a fire.Hearing Conrad’s voice, the two children were ready to get moving.“Mommy, Uncle is here!”Fia turned her head back speechlessly. “Adrian, Irene, what did you both promise me?”Using that moment of distraction, Conrad used brute force to open the door.Seeing Conrad, Adrian and Irene got even more excited and both ran to the door.Fia was really speechless.She really couldn’t do anything to these two kids.“Uncle, did you come over for something?” Irene asked sweetly.“Yeah, I did.” Conrad smiled at the two children and walked over to Fia.Fia subconsciously retreated. His eyes appeared to be on the offense, a little too strong, and she was a little panicky.However, she very quickly suppressed it.“Mr. Maxwell, is anything the matter?”F
Conrad did not reply. He raised his cane and pointed at the bed in the room. “There’s trash. Go deal with it!”Utterly confused, Silas was momentarily stunned and thought it was an assassin or whatnot, and strode over quickly.The moment he walked into the room, he lifted the blanket.A woman in a black chiffon sundress appeared before him.Silas subconsciously turned his head away.At this moment, Annie’s face was flushed, her sundress revealing half of her. She immediately used the blanket to cover herself.“Conrad dear, I…”“Don’t call me that!” Conrad said coldly.Annie frowned and changed her words. “Conrad, I, I just wanted to give you a surprise.”Having had a strict upbringing, she never thought that she would do such a thing for the sake of keeping a man.However, she had already done it and yet she did not succeed. She felt even more embarrassed.“Surprise?” Conrad’s tone was even colder, not willing to even look back to see Annie’s expression.Silas felt his hear
Before, she was even delighted, thinking that he wanted to live in Aurora Residences to have more interaction with her!How ridiculous!“Mr. Silas, please give us some space.”Annie knew that this was her last chance.Silas lowered his head without speaking.Annie went all out, walking to Conrad. Her slender arms fell on his waist.With an obsessive gaze, she went forward.That gentle look of hers really made one can’t help but feel appreciative and pity.“Conrad, I don’t mind whoever you fancy. I can wait for you, and be the woman behind you.”She tightened her arms, wanting to hug Conrad’s waist.“Hiss!”Conrad’s hand suddenly fell on Annie’s shoulder and exerting force, he pushed Annie to the ground.Annie only felt pain coming from her shoulder.She feared that it had dislocated.“Conrad, do you really hate me that much? Were these five years just meaningless?”Her tears started to flow once again. This time, Annie could not help but crumble and wail.“Immediately k
Why!A married woman with two children, a broken shoe. Why was she able to capture Conrad’s attention!The more Annie thought, the more she could not understand!With a ring, the elevator opened before Fia again.Fia was speechless.Seeing the woman in the elevator, she was too lazy to even go down with her.She, on the other hand, insisted on opening the elevator again.Annie gave a gentle smile and saw the trash bag in her hand. “Ms. Sia, aren’t you entering? Don’t you want to go downstairs to throw your trash?”“No thanks. You can go ahead.” Fia gave a superficial smile.If not for the trash bag containing kitchen scraps, and that it would not be good to leave it in the trashcan in the corridor, she would have been too lazy to go downstairs, then she wouldn’t have met such a ridiculous lady.Five years ago, Annie was elegant and noble, like a princess who would not fall into the conventional.But now, Annie was just an empty skin that looked like a princess.“It doesn’t
