“Madam, if I leave now, Master won’t show any mercy to you and the children.” Sophia closed her eyes and calmed herself down after she saw Tiger walking further and further away.She had already made her choice five years ago. She could handle any of the possible situations in the future.Five years ago, her ex-boss introduced her to the madam. She had already decided to protect the madam then. Now, not only was she going to protect the madam, but she needed to protect the madam and her children as well!The madam believed that Lucifer had a soft spot for her and the children. She didn’t!She couldn’t let her fall into such a trap and climb out on her own.“Sophia, it’s not worth it.” Fia was very sad. It was the first time she told someone what she was thinking.“Five years ago, the choice I made was to cut off all my relationships with all of you. I don’t want anything to do with my past anymore. I didn’t put anyone as an exception.”“That’s why I didn’t know that you sacrific
“Why are you crying, Aunt Sophia?” Irene was like a small bundle of warmth. She stood up and held Sophia’s hand.All Sophia did was crouch down, her eyes red, and look at Irene carefully.“You must have looked like Irene when you were little, right? Madam?”Fia looked at her and said, “I did, but I’m not as fat though.”“Mommy, that’s not fat! That’s called cute!” Irene pointed at her face and gave Fia a smile.Fia gave a smile back and said, “That’s right, you’re very cute.”Sophia sniffed and held Irene’s hand before looking at Adrian, who was looking at her.His amber eyes were too clear a mark.“Adrian, you look like…” ‘My boss’, she whispered in her mind.Adrian frowned. “I don’t look like anyone but myself!”He didn’t want to be like that terrible man! While Aunt Sophia didn’t say anything, he could tell from her expression alone.Lucifer continued to play with the blocks alone, like an outsider who was not part of the conversation.Fia looked at him and then said to
“Ha.” Lucifer laughed and became his usual gentle self in front of Fia. “I’m joking. Don’t be nervous.”Fia was silent.“Since you like Sophia that much, I’ll let her follow you from now on.”Fia was shocked and she asked, “Really?”Lucifer was like an obsessed child as his eyes refused to move from the blocks. As he played with it, he said, “For the past five years, when have I gone back on my words?”As for those that he wouldn’t agree to, he wouldn’t pretend to agree to it even when she asked.“Are you saying that Sophia could act together with me from now on? And live with me?”Lucifer then said, “She’s yours now. You can do with her as you want. However, I do need to remind you of something. If Conrad and the others saw her with you, how are you going to explain it to them?”Fia was stunned for a few seconds before saying, “I’ll take note of it. I won’t let Sophia show her face.”“Fine. You take care of it.” With that, Lucifer destroyed the building he built with the bloc
Fia looked at his figure and remembered how warm it was when he was with the children. “Be careful when you’re outside. Adrian and Irene are worried about you.”Lucifer’s hand that was holding the doorknob tightened, and the wound on his palm opened again.He turned around and stared at Fia. “Fi…”Fia was slightly stunned. He very rarely called her that.The last time was when she was heavily injured five years ago.“If only you’ve been by my side since you were little…”Fia didn’t understand why he suddenly said that.Lucifer didn’t wait for her to say anything and closed the door.When he saw the blood on the doorknob, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it clean before leaving.“He’s gone?” Sophia was worried that Lucifer was going to be angry at Fia and walked out of the room.“Yeah.” Fia walked over to her. “He left.”“Madam, I should go too.”Fia caught her hand. “You don’t have to. I told Lucifer about it. He’s letting you follow me from now on. There’s no need to h
In the future, regardless if it was Sophia or Madam, as long as they threatened Conrad’s life, he would not let them off!"If you want to cry, go and cry outside!" Conrad was annoyed. It had been five years since he last saw Tiger, and now he had almost turned into a girl.Tiger got up, not wanting to upset him. He silently left the room and sat in the corridor, feeling down.Conrad struggled to prop his upper body up and reached for his phone on the bedside table, dialing a number.Fia was having a good time playing with the children and Sophia. The phone ringing annoyed her, making her frown.Impatiently, she answered. "What is it?""Ms. Sia, are you breaking your promise?""I have some business to attend to. I'll come over later."Conrad’s suspended heart finally settled. "Bring dinner."Fia was speechless. How could this fellow be so thick skinned?Conrad said, “Silas and Tiger are both busy, and no one's taking care of my meals."Fia heard a hint of grievance in his ton
Sophia grinned. "There's nothing fun about being with stinky men. It's much more enjoyable being with Madam and the two adorable little ones!"She turned to the two kids and said, "Isn't that right? Aren’t you two the cutest?"Irene was munching on her chicken thigh. She nodded and said indistinctly, "Yes, yes, yes."Adrian swallowed the meat in his mouth and said, "Aunt Sophia, my mom hopes you'll be happy and make the right choice.""Oh my, this kid sure knows some deep words!" Sophia laughed heartily, taking big bites of her duck thigh and playfully tapping the duck thigh against the children's chicken thigh."To celebrate happiness, cheers! Being with you all is my happiness!"Fia shook her head helplessly, knowing that Sophia was a stubborn girl.When she made up her mind, no one could persuade her otherwise.She could only give up and hope to repay Sophia's unwavering loyalty in the future.After the two adults and two children had eaten their fill, Sophia went to the ki
“Sir, time to eat.”Conrad noticed that his eyes were a little damp. “What’s wrong with you?”"The food Ms. Sia brought is exceptionally delicious. I rarely had such good food during these five years outside. I got a bit emotional," Tiger said with half-truth and half-lies.Conrad remained skeptical, examining the well-arranged dishes on the table. They looked decent, and the aroma was pleasant.However, he had experienced countless gourmet meals in his high position, so it was hard to believe that this alone would make Tiger this emotional.Emotional enough to cry?"Sir, please taste it quickly. It's really delicious!" Tiger urged.Conrad took a few bites, his emotions complex as he looked at Tiger."Mrs. Taylor has been living in my and Fia’s marital home for these five years. If you don't want to cook, you can go there to eat."The food was good, but compared to Mrs. Taylor’s cooking, it still lacked a certain touch.Tiger was somewhat puzzled. "Do you mean you find this f
When Tiger returned with the doctor, he instructed, "Doctor, when you talk to Mr. Maxwell, just say it's a routine checkup. Be patient with him, or he might get angry and uncooperative."“Okay, okay. I’ve got it. You’ve already told me a couple of times.” The doctor nodded, somewhat resigned, but he didn't dare to act haughty. Who in the capital city didn't know Conrad Maxwell?This young man from Gryphon had come to the capital and reshuffled the entire business district!With an extraordinary relationship with the Parker Group, they went to great lengths to support the Maxwell Corporation.Seeing Tiger and the doctor enter the master bedroom, Fia hesitated for a few seconds but decided to follow them to the door.The doctor wore a kind expression and asked, "Mr. Maxwell, how are you feeling after the surgery?""I’m still alright," Conrad replied, glancing at Fia standing by the door from time to time.The doctor continued, "How's your appetite? Do you still feel tired?""No f
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
