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
In a villa located in the wealthy district of Gryphon, no one resided there on regular days except for the weekly cleaning staff.At this moment, two little kids had crawled inside through the dog door.“Adrian, is this where Dad used to live?”“What ‘Dad’? He’s scum!”Adrian spoke through gritted teeth.Irene sighed, holding her brother’s hand as they walked into the yard.“It’s so big and beautiful. Why does no one live here?”“The scum is just wasting resources!” Adrian said glumly.Irene replied, “Adrian, why don’t we move here? It’s better than the bungalow Mommy bought!”Adrian pushed her head roughly. “Mommy doesn’t like him!”“Alright, then.” Irene was a little aggrieved. “Then why did you bring me here?”"I thought Mommy and him probably lived here before. I just wanted to take a look." Adrian’s expression was somewhat complicated, and he couldn't quite explain why they were here.Perhaps it was to find traces of their parents' past life.Or maybe the desire to fi
