The adults were stunned. Fia was just about to warn him when Jason answered.“No. Do you want to introduce a girlfriend to me?”Irene said, “My brother doesn’t know any girls, but Aunt Sophia is quite nice! You can consider her!”“Aunt Sophia?” Jason looked at the woman who had covered most of her face with her mask and hat. “How old are you?”Sophia was speechless.Fia said, “My friend is a bit cold. My apologies.”She then extended her hands and patted Adrian and Irene’s heads. “Now, stop saying things like that. A lot of girls like a man like him, so there’s no need for you to introduce anyone to him.”Jason stared at Fia. The way she looked at the kids and spoke with them was so gentle.She looked a lot like a woman deep within his memories.But when she faced him, she was so cold and treated him like a stranger.If it was Fia, she wouldn’t treat him like that, right?But if she wasn’t Fia, why would he be reminded of her every time he saw her?After that, he would fall
Sophia quickly rephrased her words. “What I mean is that will Lucifer ask you to hurt him?”“To be honest? I don’t know,” Fia said. She had rarely been so baffled for the past five years.“When Lucifer told me to go to the capital with the kids, I already knew that I would meet my old acquaintances. I don’t know about anything else. I don’t know what he wants me to do, and I don’t know what he wants to do.”The confusion in Fia’s eyes disappeared as she looked at Sophia and said, “And I don’t care, Sophia.”Sophia wasn’t sure what to say.“To be honest with you, Adrian, Irene, and I don’t want anything to happen to Lucifer.”Sophia was having very mixed feelings. She could understand how Fia was feeling. No matter how evil Lucifer was, he did save her and her children.But Sophia was so innocent too! She had also accepted his help back in the training camp.“Sophia, I can’t promise you anything,” Fia said as her brows locked together. “I’m very sorry.”Sophia sighed, giving Fi
Fia was stunned. “What does that have to do with me?!”“I found the diary that Fia was hiding. I found out a lot.”Fia’s heart tightened. She hid that diary away when she was still “alive”. She had never thought of showing it to him!And he found it? And read it?It was as if something detonated in her mind, and she momentarily lost control of her emotions. “What diary? I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”“It’s my wife’s diary. Of course, you wouldn’t know.” Conrad focused on the voice from the other end of the line.“You’re sick!” Fia cursed and wanted to hang up.“Tomorrow, nine in the morning. You’re welcome to join.” With that, Conrad was worried to hear her reject him, so he quickly hung up.Fia’s hand went limp as she looked at her phone.Next to her grandma. If she did die five years ago, it would be a great place to be.Seven in the morning the next day, Fia got up, remembering that Conrad was going to have her service at nine.“Sophia, stay here with Adri
Silas was getting worried. “I’ll wait at the side.”Conrad simply said, “Just give me the keys.”After Silas left, Conrad looked at Fia while he held the umbrella.Her hair was wet and the cold rain drenched her jacket.“Aren’t you cold?”“No.” Fia looked at him icily. “Why did you tell me to come here?”The emotions sealed in his heart bubbled out as he walked over to cover the rain for her.The rain pitter-pattered on the umbrella like a song of love.“Haven’t visited Grandmother for a long time.” His voice rang under the rain.Fia frowned before dispelling her displeasure and looked at him.“What are you talking about?”“Stop faking it.” Conrad tried his best to calm down, wanting to expose Fia.Even if this “Ms. Sia” was not who she claimed to be, she was no longer that girl from back then.He couldn’t understand her.Suddenly, he felt very irritated.“What are you doing?!” Fia was shocked when he dragged her arm and pulled her toward Thea’s grave.“Open your eyes a
Conrad’s expression changed drastically. “I’m not that kind of person.” “I’ll absolutely let you vent sufficiently!” Fia threw those cold words and ran off. Conrad’s leg had recovered and he was able to walk normally, but he was unable to run yet. His leg would hurt if he exhausted it. He could only watch as she ran into the distance as he tried to catch up to her step by step. When he reached the car, Fia had long disappeared. Getting into the car, he was about to go to Aurora Residences when he received Tiger’s urgent call. “Sir! Ms. Sia’s two children are gone!” “What is going on!” Conrad’s heart tightened. He hadn’t even had the chance to speak to them properly. He hadn’t even thought of how he would explain his identity. The two children seemed to have been raised well, and did not seem to be lacking in any way just because they did not have their biological father with them. Lucifer treated the children well and they called him “Daddy”, which was no
“Alright, you are Sia Stewart.” Conrad quickly hugged her, pressing the back of her head on his chest. “This is the first time we know each other, and we need to interact more to understand each other.”Fia was stunned, not knowing what he wanted to do exactly.She felt he was like a mad man!“Ms. Sia, I’m Conrad, I’m thirty-five. What about you?”Fia felt a pain in her heart and tried her best to push his chest.“Let me go! I don’t want to have any interactions with you! Treating your leg was already my greatest mercy!”Conrad confined her. “I know your temper isn’t great. My temper was bad too in the past, but after experiencing some things, I have already changed.“The days when we interacted, do you think my personality is alright?”Fia was silent.“Of course, for someone like me who is as stubborn as a rock, it’s hard for things to change immediately.”He sighed. “Teach me. If there’s any part of me you find unpleasant, tell me. I will slowly change.”Fia continue
“Are you curious? As to why I had to move the headquarters here to the capital when things were perfectly fine in Gryphon?”Conrad asked Fia as he stared at her.Fia sneered. “I’m not curious, nor do I want to know.”She just wanted to leave right now.But he was blocking her like a ghost!Conrad stood in front of her, his eyes locked onto hers."Because my wife was hurt by people from the Parkers, and I want to become the top figure in the capital city business circle to crush Parker Group."Fia suddenly looked at him, her feelings complex.She sarcastically remarked, "But your behavior in the past five years, after your memory loss, seemed very cozy with Parker Group!""That won't happen again." Conrad’s lips curved into a gentler smile. "I will take over Parker Group and give it to my wife."Fia felt like calling him insane."Ms. Sia, I have something for you, and I promise you won't regret seeing it." Conrad was desperate to keep her here, and not let her know that their
"Sophia, what happened to my children?" she asked slowly, trying to control her expression. “Madam, I’m sorr…” Sophia cried even harder."I'm asking you what happened!" Fia shouted loudly, unable to tolerate her crying without explanation.Tiger said, "Madam, please don't get angry. We've already sent out many people to search, and we will definitely find them."Fia suddenly turned her attention to Tiger. "How long have you been searching? Is there any news?"“We haven't received any news yet.""So, Conrad kept stalling me because you all wanted to hide it from me, didn't you? My children are missing, and instead of informing me immediately, you stopped me. What's your hidden agenda?"Fia completely broke down. "Did you collude with Conrad to do this?"She stared angrily at Sophia and Tiger. "Was it you?"Tiger helped Sophia to her feet. "Madam, I swear on my life that we had no intention of harming the children. We never wanted something like this to happen. Right now, both
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
