Conrad couldn’t bear to disappoint the children. “That’s right.”“Then come in,” Irene said with slyness in her eyes.Adrian then added, “Mommy went downstairs to buy some things. You can come in and sit for a while.”Conrad looked at Lucifer quietly.Lucifer shrugged. “I’m very welcoming of guests.”“Really, now?” Conrad gave him a scornful smile as he stepped forward with his cane.Lucifer raised his eyebrow and took a step back, extending his arm, as if welcoming him in.Adrian and Irene also took a step back and copied him. When Conrad saw how the two little ones copied his actions, he suddenly didn’t want to go in anymore as he felt his interest dissipated.“I still have some work I need to do. I better not disturb you.”“Then we’ll see you next time.” Lucifer’s attitude was gentle.Conrad gave him a cold glare before saying goodbye to the children and then left.Adrian and Irene looked at him, suddenly feeling pity for him.“Uncle Maxwell! Remember to eat well!” Ire
“I’m so sorry, Ms. Sia. There are so many things that I have to do that I’m getting a bit confused.” Silas quickly apologized.Fia took a deep breath and said, “I don’t care what you’re busy with. I believe that your boss’s life is much more important! If you’re not worried about him dying, you can forget about coming! I’ve left him at his doorstep!”“Ms. Sia? What are you talking about? Where is he?”“Outside of his own apartment at Aurora Residences!” Fia hung up. When she saw Conrad’s face losing color fast, she gritted her teeth after she just took her first step.“Darn it!” She cursed under her breath before giving Conrad a kick. She then knelt down and took a look at his condition as if she had given up.When Silas finally arrived, Fia was playing with her phone as she stood next to the door. Meanwhile, his boss had his eyes open wide as he lay on the floor.“Sir!”He quickly ran over. “What happened?”Conrad looked at him before saying, “I fainted again.”Silas was stun
“Lots of people want to ruin my reputation. You are asking me to go find her and that is going to get me into trouble, isn’t it?”Conrad looked at Silas as if he was looking at an idiot.Silas let out an awkward smile. “Then what about your head?”“Just get me some cream.” Conrad picked up his cane and tapped at Silas’ leg. “Just go already!”“…Fine.”Several minutes later, Conrad frowned with a painful expression after the cream was applied.“Why is it so painful?”Silas blew at it. “Told you. Of course, it’s painful since you scraped your skin. Maybe go to the hospital after all?”“Go home!” Conrad’s mood worsened.As a dutiful secretary, Silas said, “I better call a doctor to give you a look.”Conrad immediately hit him with his cane to the point that Silas jumped away as he yelped in pain.“I’ll kill you if you won’t leave!”Silas looked at him in silence.“Go!”After several seconds, Silas asked, “Are you hungry? I’ll make you some supper?”“I’m not hungry!”“But I
He was wrong from the very beginning.He knew what he did was wrong, but he refused to correct it.He had controlled so many, but he had only shown her who he really was. His true identity.If she wanted to act against him, she would no doubt be instrumental in his downfall.Fia gave him a gentle smile, but there was no emotion in her eyes.“Aren’t I right?”Lucifer gulped. “You’re counting on the fact that I love the children and don’t want to make them sad, aren’t you?”“Whatever. Just remember everything is on you.” Fia knew that she couldn’t provoke him too much, so she simply ended that part of the conversation on a vicious note before walking over and sitting next to him.They left a gap about the size of a person between the two of them.“Once the final mission is over, you promised me freedom. I won’t do anything to you.”Lucifer turned to look at her with gentle eyes, and slowly got closer to her.“Fi, how can I trust you?”Fia’s eyes immediately narrowed. Only one
“Haha.” Lucifer chuckled, not a hint of anger seen from his face.He held Conrad’s hand who was holding his cane. “Tell me and let me help you, then.”Conrad could feel his anger brewing inside of him, but some of his anger went away when the smiles of the two children appeared in his mind.The sentence that he intended to say changed from “Give me your wife” to… “Your wife hates me for some reason. Can you help me with that?”“To help you make her less hateful of you?” Lucifer sighed. “I pity you too, and I wished I could help you. But she’s the one leading our relationship. I can’t help you with that, unfortunately.”Conrad sneered. “You’re scared of your wife.”“Don’t sneer at me, Mr. Maxwell. We’re both men. You should know that it won’t forever be the same.”Conrad immediately frowned. He felt that Lucifer was laughing at him for not having a wife.“Let’s see…” Lucifer paused. “I’ll tell her about it. But whether she still detests you or not will be her problem.”“You’re
Fia looked at Felicity speechlessly.Felicity smiled. “Why don’t we have a chat somewhere else?”Fia snorted and gave the two bags of candies to her children.Adrian was very mature and held Irene’s bag too.“Mommy, if you don’t want to go, let’s just go home,” Adrian said.Fia patted his head. “It’s fine. Let’s go eat something, alright?”She gave Felicity a look and said, “Let’s find someplace to eat, then.”“Sure.” Felicity nodded before turning over to Annie, saying, “See if there’s any good place for lunch nearby.”“Sure.” Annie looked at the kids. “What do you two want to eat?”“What does that have to do with you?!” the twins said at the same time.Annie choked before saying, “Haven’t your mother taught you manners?”“She did!” Irene said with a sly smile.“Did she teach us, Adrian?”Adrian immediately continued and said, “She did! She taught us not to get too close to strangers who have bad intentions or we’ll get hurt!”Annie’s expression instantly darkened, and s
Felicity was quite surprised, realizing that it would be difficult to get through to the children.And so, she gave up speaking to them and instead turned to Fia.“You’re their mother. Aren’t you going to tell them to be respectful?”“Are you deaf? Or do you have a bad memory?” Fia said calmly. “That’s not for those with bad intentions.”Annie’s face flushed in anger as she said, “Do you even know who my cousin is?!”Fia smiled and simply took the drink that the waitress served at their table.She then slowly said, “Of course I do. You’re the vice president of Parker Group. Meanwhile, your cousin is the CEO. You two cousins work together in the industry.“Oh, speaking of which. I have a question.”She let out a wicked smile as she stared at Felicity and Annie.“Last time, when Annie looked for me, she said that she already knew Conrad for many years and was at the point of getting married. She even called me a mistress.”Fia’s sight fell on Felicity. “Did you know that?”Fel
Eileen instantly became disappointed and fell onto the carpet buttocks first.“I’m sorry, Ms. Sia. It’s just that my mind is getting a bit mixed up. The more I think about it, the more irritated I become.”“You’re getting bored because you don’t have enough work!” Fia said as she hung up.Outside their apartment, Lucifer was leaning against the wall by the door. She didn’t know how long he had been waiting there.“I didn’t catch up with you.”Fia gave him a glance. She didn’t want to say anything to him and simply opened the door before waltzing in.Adrian and Irene caught Lucifer’s hand.“Daddy, what did you say to Uncle Maxwell?” Adrian asked.Lucifer raised his eyebrow. “How did you know I talked to him?”“Daddy, I’m not an idiot.”“I’m not an idiot either!” Irene said to Adrian.Lucifer showed them a helpless smile and said, “How can any of you be idiots?”After they were inside the apartment, Adrian and Irene went to feed Milo.Meanwhile, Lucifer and Fia sat on the op
