“After giving birth to you two, I wasn’t in good health. He took care of you. Since I saw that he treated you two well, I didn’t stop you from treating him as your daddy. But he’s really not your daddy. He and I aren’t husband and wife, either. We’re just friends.”Adrian and Irene were stunned.Fia was worried that the children couldn’t take it, so she held their hands and gently said, “It doesn’t affect my love for you, alright? I love you two. I can’t lose either of you.”“What about Daddy?” Adrian and Irene asked sadly.Fia lowered her eyes. “Can’t you feel his love for you?”Adrian said, “Daddy has always treated us very well.”Irene also nodded. “You’re always so busy, Mommy. Daddy took care of us, and he never yelled at us.”Fia let out a smile of relief. “That’s right. Even you know that he loves you, and that love isn’t fake.”“But…” Adrian and Irene trailed off.“But what?’ Fia patted their little heads. “Why don’t you tell me, and I can explain it to you.”“If we’r
Lucifer’s voice was slightly coarse. “Are you dreaming?”Fia was getting a headache because of the wind, but she still pushed herself and asked, “You treated Adrian and Irene so well all these years, like a real father. Other than you liking me, I can’t think of another reason.”“Oh, Fia! Haha!” Lucifer let out a maddening laughter. “How could a woman who had married and been abandoned like you come up with that?”His words were full of disdain. It was like a slap on Fia’s face.“It’s good that you know it too. I’m already very happy with two children, and I’ve no interest in love and romance. Don’t fall for me.”Her words were very serious. “We’re not suitable for each other.”“You said that you’re not interested in love and romance, so you better take control of your emotions. If I find out that you’ve fallen for Conrad, I won’t show you any mercy just because of the past five years!”“Don’t worry! All I want now is to complete this last mission and leave this place!”As the
“Who are you opening the door to? I didn’t hear the bell ring… Ah! Daddy!”When Irene ran toward the door and saw the tall man outside, she happily hopped and screamed.“Daddy, why are you here?!”Adrian looked at Lucifer standing outside, and he also asked the same question after her sister did. “Why are you suddenly here, Daddy?”“Don’t tell me you don’t miss me.” Lucifer smiled gently as he patted the two twins.The Pomeranian puppy wagged its tail as it reached the door and woofed.Adrian then growled at it. “Stop barking. He’s our daddy!”Fia got up and wanted to make breakfast for the kids after a few more minutes in the end. She didn’t want to sleep anymore.When she walked out of the bedroom and saw the man walking in as he held the children’s hands, she couldn’t help but quickly go over despite the shock in her eyes.“Why are you here so suddenly?”“Is it very sudden? Why are all of you asking me the same thing?” Lucifer asked with a smile.Fia looked at his blue ey
“You said that we’ve met a long time ago. Why don’t I remember anything about it?”His blue eyes became darker somehow. “You don’t remember.”“That’s right. I don’t remember it at all!” Fia looked at Lucifer. “Did you misremember it?”“Ha…” Lucifer looked elsewhere before suddenly walking over with a chopping board and a knife. “Let me help.”Fia felt that he was running away from the question. “If there’s anything, we should clarify it. If I’ve forgotten about it, you can remind me.”“It’s not important. It was in my dreams,” Lucifer said. “I met you in my dreams.”Fia couldn’t get what he was trying to say. “Then you must really be dreaming.”Lucifer said as he cut the vegetables, “I watched all of you running to your doom as the man behind the curtains. It’s normal for me to see you all in my dreams.”Fia couldn’t find any words.“Not to mention that you’re so beautiful. It’s normal for a man to see you in his dreams, right?”He intentionally made his tone filled with wick
Irene blinked. “Daddy, since you gave us diamonds, what about Mommy? Diamonds are so pretty. All girls like them! Mommy must too!”Adrian nodded. “That’s right! I saw all the aunties on television liking diamonds and jewelry! They’re so pretty and shiny.”Irene said, “Daddy, did you forget to give Mommy one? Then take my brother’s and give it to her! Boys don’t need diamonds!”“Who said I don’t need them?” Adrian said as he pouted. “I don’t need it now, but I need it when I have a girlfriend!”“Haha!” Lucifer let out a genuine laugh and rubbed Adrian’s head. “You’re still so young but you’re already looking out for your girlfriend.”“Of course!” Adrian said seriously. “I don’t want to be a womanizer!”“Hahaha!” Lucifer continued laughing. “Who taught you all this?”“Mommy did.” Adrian sighed. “Mommy is already teaching me about this when I’m this young.”Irene said, “That’s because she cares about you and loves you.”“Why didn’t she teach you that?” Adrian said strangely. “You
Adrian then added, “Daddy, no one can replace you in our hearts! You’re our family! We won’t be complete without you!”“You really know how to talk, boy.”At the door, the man stared at the woman as he held his cane.“Can I come in?”“No.” Fia extended her hand and blocked the door. She couldn’t help being nervous.She was suddenly very worried for him to meet with Lucifer face to face.“I don’t mean any harm. I just want to look at the kids.”“The kids don’t need you to look at them!” She refused to budge. “Please leave!”Conrad then pointed at the fruits to the side with his cane and said, “I bought them fruit.”“I can buy those myself. You can take them back!” Fia had just wanted to close the door when suddenly, someone held her hand.She had no words.She didn’t even need to turn around to know who it was.Kids didn’t have such big hands.Lucifer didn’t let her pull her hand away as he looked at the man with the cane from behind her.“You are?”Conrad looked at him.
Meanwhile, Fia had already led the twins who had finished breakfast to their multimedia room.“Mommy, will Daddy and Uncle Maxwell start fighting?” Irene asked.Adrian wanted to ask too, but he wasn’t as brave as his sister, so he could only watch his mother worriedly.“They won’t.” Fia gave her twins a smile. “Your daddy’s a patient man. He wouldn’t start a fight with anyone.”“That’s right! Daddy’s the best!” Irene immediately agreed too.Adrian, however, became even more worried.Fia ignored how he looked at her and patted his head. “Adrian, you’re still young. Don’t be like an adult and worry about everything. Learn from your sister.”“I can’t.”“What?”Adrian then said, “You told me to take good care of my sister since I was little. This is how I am. I can’t fix it.”When Fia heard that, she felt something stinging her heart.Adrian sighed. “It’s fine, Mommy. I don’t feel sad at all! I’m the big brother. It’s normal for me to take care of my little sister.”“Really?” F
Conrad gave a scornful look. He was not completely forgotten.But the person who remembered him was not the person he wanted.“Can we have lunch together? We haven’t had lunch together for so long.” Annie was worried that he would refuse, so she quickly added, “My mom also asked Mr. Payne to join us.”“Sure, understood.”“Conrad, you have to come. Mr. Payne said that he really loves the painting you gave him.”“I’ll go.” Conrad hung up.Annie didn’t dare to interrupt him anymore. But since he said that he would come, he wouldn’t go back on his word. She was worried that if she pestered him, he would simply reverse his decision.In the afternoon, Silas came to pick Conrad up. When the two of them were in the elevator, they saw the “family of four”.Lucifer was holding both the children with each hand while Fia was behind him.When she saw Conrad, she nodded at him and pulled her scarf.Meanwhile, Lucifer sincerely said, “What a coincidence, Mr. Maxwell.”Conrad simply nodde
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
