Conrad really wanted to smack Mary till she fainted.Saying these kinds of words in front of his wife would only make his wife-chasing fire get hotter and hotter.“Let me tell you, Conrad. If you dare to wrong Fia, I’ll be the first to hold you accountable!”“How crazy!” Conrad cursed and then sternly said, "I became close to the Parkers due to memory loss and manipulation. Now that I've regained my memory, I absolutely won't have any dealings with Miss Parker!"Mary turned to look at Fia. "Did you hear that?"Fia did not want to speak.Mary stared at her and said, "Even though you don't look like Fia, those two children look too much like Conrad and Fia. This can't be explained away.""I don't need to explain anything to any of you." Fia led her two children downstairs.Mary couldn't contain her frustration. "Conrad, aren't you going to chase after her? Is she or isn't she Fia? Are those two children really yours? Don't you want to know?"Conrad looked sternly at Mary. "Your
"Do you want to eat strawberry cake, red velvet cake, or blueberry...""I want them all!" Irene looked at Conrad eagerly."I'll have someone get them for you right away!" Conrad ignored Fia’s displeasure and called Tiger to order the cakes.After the call, Tiger looked at Sophia."Are you really not coming back? Even though the two children are safe this time, we can't deny that there's a connection with Lucifer."Sophia frowned. "If Madam doesn't leave, I won't leave.""Madam currently has a deep grudge against Mr. Maxwell. That one stab five years ago almost took his life. And now, if she wants revenge, what will happen?" Tiger was extremely anxious.Sophia was so stubborn. She couldn't be reasoned with at all!"If Madam wanted his life, she wouldn't have helped him with his leg. Doing this, Madam's actions definitely angered Lucifer. All the more reason why I can't leave.""Can you at least try to convince her to leave Lucifer?" Tiger asked.Sophia replied, "I can't."Tig
"Woof, woof!" Conrad barked twice, covering his face with a hand, feeling utterly embarrassed.He didn't want it to come to this.But the children's tears had filled him with guilt."Hahaha!" Irene burst into laughter without holding back.Adrian chuckled more discreetly, but his gaze remained fierce.Fia’s mouth twitched, and she looked away uncomfortably.If she hadn't seen and heard it herself, she would never believe that Conrad could learn to bark like a dog one day."Feeling better now? Can we eat something?" Conrad asked, relieved to hear the children's laughter."Hmph!" Adrian still wore a grumpy expression. "I don't want snacks. I want a real meal.""Okay, I'll cook. Give me a few minutes. I'll go borrow some groceries," Conrad said as he rushed to borrow food from Tyler’s house, clearing out half of his fridge.Seeing the things in his hands, Fia noticed that some of them were still frozen.Fia felt a little pity for the Lanes."Have some cake to fill your stomach
Adrian’s eyes moved. “I’ll go and see if he has gotten a helper.”Her son first sneakily went to the door of the kitchen and Irene couldn’t quite bear it as well. So, Fia held her daughter’s hand and sneakily went over too.The mother-children trio watched the man in the kitchen with amazement.Adrian whispered, "He looks like a chef from a restaurant."If not for seeing it with her own eyes, Fia would rather believe that it was a dream.“Are you all hungry?” Conrad turned his head over to ask, but was afraid that he would delay. Seeing that the mother-children trio were not speaking, he said, “Wait for a bit more. I’ll be quick.” Under the watchful eyes of the mother and children, he worked even faster. "Mommy." Irene tugged at Fia’s clothes. Fia crouched down and asked, "What's wrong?"Irene said, "He seems really good at cooking."Fia gave a superficial smile. She felt a little annoyed.Mr. Maxwell, the great CEO who never cooked, was like a master chef now! Lucifer
"Have you cooked for other women?" Adrian questioned with his young but fierce tone.Conrad was slightly taken aback. "Who are you referring to, Adrian?""Women. How else can they be divided into? Have you cooked for many women?" Adrian held his cheeks.Fia propped her elbow on the table, her hand shielding her face.Her son indeed had a sharp tongue."Except for my mother, I haven't cooked for any other women in these five years!" Conrad explained.Irene blinked. "You cooked for Mommy and I today.""True!" Conrad felt that his daughter was his ally and quickly added, "I can cook for you every day.""In your dreams!" Adrian sarcastically remarked. "Your culinary skills are far from our daddy's. We prefer the food our daddy makes!"Conrad felt deflated.His son was undoubtedly inherently antagonistic!"Adrian, both his and Daddy's cooking skills are good. I like both." Irene meekly chimed in.Adrian glanced sideways. "Which side are you on?"Irene looked at Conrad and just
“Why did you bring the kids to Gryphon?” Lucifer’s voice was as cold as the winter. This meant that he was really pissed.Clearing her throat, Fia said, “After returning to Fortuna, I’ve only stayed in Lumenpolis. So, I want to bring the kids to meet my family.”“Don’t make me laugh. They went missing when you visited the grave. Is this how you were planning to bring them to see your family?”Lucifer stifled a laugh before saying coldly, “Fia, you’ve caught a habit of lying to me lately.”Feeling unreconciled, Fia retorted, “Then what about you?! You kept saying that you did what you did for the children but when I called you to help me find them when they’re missing, what did you say to me? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how you treated me then?!” “I’m sincerely sorry about that, “Lucifer said with a hint of hurt in his voice. “But I ordered my men to search for them after I hung up. So, I did know they had gone to Conrad’s villa.”Stunned from hearing that, Fia did not know ho
Taking a deep breath, Fia said, “Sure. You give him a call and ask him yourself, okay?”“Okay!”It was then the doorbell rang. After checking who it was through the peephole, Sophia rushed to Fia’s bedroom.“Fia, Sir’s here!”Fia petted Irene’s head and said, “Talk about timing. Irene, you can personally go and ask him yourself now.”“Yeah! I’ll go ask him.” Irene put on her sweater on top of her pajamas, making her look like a cute little cotton ball, before getting to the door. When Conrad saw that it was Irene who opened the door, he squatted down to greet her.“Hi, Irene. Oh, you just woke up, didn’t you?”“Yes!” Irene answered with a bright smile. “I’m hungry. I want to eat the breakfast you make, is that okay?”Conrad held her hand and said, “Sure. I actually came here to invite you all over to my place for breakfast.”“That’s wonderful! I’ll go tell Mommy and Adrian!” Irene quickly skipped back to the room joyfully, with Conrad slowly following her from behind. Ho
“Granny, I’m hungry.” Irene stepped forward and took Mrs. Taylor’s hand.“Oh, then you’re in luck, dear! I have it all ready. I was in the middle of making soup too when you arrived. Come on in! You’ll get to eat in no time!”Mrs. Taylor snapped from her sorrow and led the little girl into the villa. Conrad approached Fia gently. “Let’s go inside.”Fia wanted to ask him what he had done to Mrs. Taylor in the last five years when he lost his memories. She had aged so much! Yet, she held it all in. If she asked him that, it was like admitting her real identity to him.“Is this all made by you, Granny?! They are so yummy!” Irene said as she gobbled down the food.Hearing this, Mrs. Taylor gave a gentle smile at her and pointed at some of the dishes on the table. “These ones are made by me. The rest were made by Master Maxwell.”“Wow! He’s so good!” Irene was so impressed.“What’s so good about him? Hmph!” Adrian butted in with an upset tone.Glaring at her brother, Irene said,
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
