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
“If you’re sick, go see the doctor!” Conrad used his cane to smack Silas’ butt.“You don’t know what’s good for you!” Fia took the opportunity to say her bit, pulling her son and daughter over to educate them. “Didn’t I tell you they aren’t good people?”Adrian and Irene’s eyes were red and they were about to cry.“Alright.” Lucifer pulled her hand away. “Don’t scare the kids.”“You!” Fia raised her head and glared at Lucifer, wanting to scold him, to say that he was crazy. Why did he have to blindly get involved!However, seeing his blue eyes that had a hint of laughter, she could not say anything.She was sent here by him for a mission. She did not have any right to blame him.This person was crazy and unfathomable.She could offend anyone but him.The two children were registered under him and for them to be moved under her register still depended on his consent.“Honey, what's wrong?" Lucifer asked with a smile, seemingly in a good temper."Don't talk to strangers." Fia’
