“Don’t you plan to get married and have kids?” Sophia was speechless. “My sister and I still have Mommy and Daddy. When the time comes, we can’t take care of so many people. So, Aunt Sophia, it’s still better for you to get married and give birth to your own children.” Sophia looked at Adrian in astonishment, noticing how similar he was to Conrad. He was so young, yet his words were mature to the point of being terrifying. “Adrian is right. I think so too!” “Go take a bath first.” Adrian walked out with hope. He put his sister’s clothes neatly on the stool in the bathroom. Sophia squeezed in before Irene locked the door. Irene was shocked. “Aunt Sophia, what are you doing?” “Let me help you wash your hair, alright?” “Oh, I can wash my own hair standing under the shower head.” “I’ll help you. It’ll be faster.” Sophia had a look of anticipation. Irene pitied her a little. Seeing how she was about the same age as her own mother, yet did not have a hu
“I don’t know.” Irene’s small face was all scrunched up. “Neither does Adrian.” “Then, before you all found out that he was your father, what did you both think of him as an uncle?” Meeting Sophia’s eager gaze, Irene said seriously, “Quite good. Both Adrian and I pitied him because of his bad leg. Every time he saw the both of us, he would be extra gentle and kept giving us gifts.” “Then, did you all like him?” Irene nodded and said softly, “I quite liked him. Adrian too.” Sophia hugged Irene and gently patted her back. “I hope that you can have a complete family.” “Do you mean that you hope for Adrian and I to acknowledge our father? But Mommy would be very upset.” “It’s not possible now, but it doesn’t mean it will not be possible in the future.” Sophia let go of Irene and gave her a genuine smile. "I believe that once Mr. Maxwell knows of your identities, he would be extra happy."“Will he? Back then when Mommy had us, why did he hurt Mommy’s heart? He clearly k
Replying to Fia's message.Eileen had also mentioned it previously so Fia stared at Sophia’s message in a daze for quite a few seconds.Fia returned to the living room to sit down, thinking about it as she swiped through the online shopping platforms to search for a bunk bed.A lot of cute beds popped up, the kind where the top and bottom bunk were very safe and even had stairs. Just looking at it made her fancy it.The corners of Sophia’s lips curled up as she replied, ’ve taken a look. The nursery is spacious. We can put the bunk bed there. Then we can
His gaze turned deep as he stared at Fia. “The way you did it just now reminded me of my wife.”“......”Fia was speechless. "Except for my wife, you're the second one." Other women couldn't get this close to him at all. However, Fia said, "Miss Parker should be an exception, right?" "No." "Liar." Fia turned to pour water, suppressing her curiosity about this question. When he woke up with amnesia, besides his mother, there was Felicity by his side. She wouldn’t believe that Felicity hadn't taken care of him like a wife! Conrad saw her about to leave the master bedroom and hastily said, "During the days at the hospital, it was Silas and Charles who took turns watching over me." "Were the Parker sisters unwilling to take care of you?" Fia asked sarcastically. "No." Conrad frowned, not understanding why she was so concerned about the Parker sisters. "And why is that?" Fia leaned against the door, trying to keep her expression calm as if she was casually as
Fia cleared her throat. "You're overthinking it. Right now, in my eyes, you're just a patient, without any personal emotions."Conrad's lips curled slightly. "It's okay. I can handle any outcome. I've been limping for five years. I'm used to it."A tightness gripped Fia’s heart as she remembered the first time she saw him limping. Her emotions became a bit restless."Don't talk so much!"She reached out and gently pressed Conrad’s shoulder to lay him down."Tiger, administer the anesthesia."The lower half of his body would be numbed, making him unaware of the surgery process below the waist, but his brain would remain clear, and he wouldn't fall into a deep sleep.His right pant leg was cut off, exposing his entire leg.Fia took a deep breath and steadied herself. She said calmly, "I'm starting now. If you feel any discomfort, please let me know, okay?"She looked into his amber eyes."Okay." Conrad seemed to smile a bit, showing no fear.Tiger connected the monitoring devi
Fia didn't have time to correct how Tiger addressed her. She said, "Wait, it's almost done."This nerve had been injured five years ago and hadn't been repaired since. Nerves were delicate.There was only one chance!She couldn't afford to give up now.Hearing Tiger nearly breaking down, desperately urging Conrad not to fall asleep, Fia’s eyes couldn’t help reddening. Images of Conrad when he was young appeared in her mind."Sir, don't sleep, Sir!" Tiger shouted in his ear, his hand continuously slapping Conrad’s face.Conrad was in a daze, feeling too sleepy and too tired. He really wanted to close his eyes.Tiger agonized cries were so loud. He really wished he could cover his mouth.***"It's done!" Fia dropped the surgical instruments from her hand. "Tiger, I'll leave the rest to you!"She didn't have time to remove the blood-stained surgical gloves. She quickly pulled Tiger to where she was.Standing in front of Conrad, she grabbed his ears firmly, exerting force.At
She leaned on the bathroom sink with her hands and laughed at her reflection in the mirror."Am I stupid? Why did I save him?"At that moment, she had no intention of letting go, not even a bit.She was afraid that he might close his eyes and never wake up again.He didn't even know she was still alive, let alone that she had given birth to two lovely and kind-hearted children for him.How could he just die like that?“I don’t want him to die.” She closed her eyes as she said each word which came from the bottom of her heart.Whether it was because she hadn't completely let go of the past or because of their two children, she genuinely didn't want him to die in front of her.***Back in the hospital room, Conrad had been sleeping for two days, sustained by nutrition fluids.Tiger was anxious every day, frequently coming to Fia and asking, "Why does he keep sleeping?“When will he awaken?”Fia looked up impatiently. "What are you afraid of? I'm right here. I won't run away!"
As soon as she arrived home, Fia was surrounded by her children and Sophia.“Mommy, how’s Uncle Conrad’s leg?” Irene was the first to speak. Sophia did not dare to ask so she had to rely on the children to do the talking.Petting her daughter’s head, Fia said, “The operation was successful. Now, all he has to do is rest.”Adrian said, “So, after taking a rest, he’ll be able to walk properly?”“Yes.” Fia gave Sophia a warm smile. “Thank you for looking after them for me, Sophia.”Sophia shook her head and said, “Oh, don’t mention it. Actually, Adrian and Irene are so independent. They didn’t need me to babysit them at all. They did not even let me help them with their baths.”Hearing this, Fia felt a pain in her heart. “Compared to other children their age, these two are mentally mature. It’s my fault. I’ve been busy with work and could not do much for them. They are so independent because they have been living a rough childhood.”Sophia instinctively asked, “Did Mr. Guthrie no
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
