Sophia was irate. However, she didn’t dare to get angry in front of Conrad.She turned around and her eyes met with Conrad’s. She couldn’t help but look away.“I’m just here to see Tiger. I’m not up to anything.”Conrad then walked into Tiger’s home and closed the door. He leaned against the door, stopping Sophia from leaving.Sophia was speechless.Tiger quickly said, “Sir, Sophia has a question for you.”“Sure.” Conrad nodded lightly, but his eyes were still locked on Sophia.“You have something to ask, right? Ask.”Sophia gulped. “About that... Tell Tiger to leave. I’ll ask you alone.”Conrad nodded. “Sure.”Several minutes later, Sophia looked at Tiger leaving... But not without some fruits and milk. She was worried it would get too cold for him if he waited outside.“Don’t worry. He’s probably going back to the company,” Conrad said.“Sure.” Sophia was feeling awkward, her hands still on her legs.“Do you still love Madam?”Conrad looked at her in peace. “What do you
The restlessness became even worse when it was already the next morning.She could already smell the scent of breakfast the moment she opened the door.Lucifer was wearing a white casual outfit. He looked so clean and handsome.“Why are you suddenly here?”“I missed the kids,” he said as he prepared the breakfast table. “They’re still asleep?”“Yeah.”“Go and wash up, then have some breakfast. I’ll get them up,” Lucifer said as he walked past her into the bedroom.Fia was frozen in place before going to Sophia’s bedroom.When she opened the door, there was no one inside. She anxiously and quickly went to look for Lucifer.“Where’s Sophia?”“We’ll talk about her later,” Lucifer said flatly before bending down and pulling the blanket. He then gently called, “Wakey, wakey, my two little cubs. Wake up and have breakfast.”Adrian and Irene immediately opened their eyes, filled with spirit.“Daddy!”“That’s right!” A smile appeared on Lucifer’s face as he took Irene’s jacket and
“That’s right, it’s a misunderstanding. Mommy, Daddy... Don’t fight,” Irene said as she gave both her parents a sausage each.Fia and Lucifer didn’t say anything and quietly ate as their kids needed the peace.After breakfast, Lucifer asked the children, “Do you still want to stay here?”Adiran and Irene said, “No.”“You don’t enjoy it here?” Lucifer’s blue eyes formed crescents.Adrian said, “The hotel is nice, but it’s not as warm as our home.”Irene pouted her mouth. “That’s right. The hotel room is big, but it’s not as pretty as our home.”She looked at Fia, “And Mommy decorates our home to make it look pretty!”Lucifer glanced at Fia and asked the kids, “Should we go back to the island?”“Yes!” Adrian and Irene said without hesitation.Fia’s expression darkened. “Why are you guiding them to go back? They don’t know what that means... They only agreed to it because they need you!”“Adrian and Irene need me. How about you?” Lucifer’s blue eyes became even darker.Fia fro
Fia turned to look at Lucifer, and explained, “He’s a friend who took care of me for the past five years and he’s like a brother to me. I hope that you and Mom will protect him and help him find his one true love and have a peaceful life.”Lucifer’s smile on his face froze.How could he not understand what she was saying?When they left, Fia looked at Lucifer and said, “There’s one more thing I need to do now that there’s only a few more days until the new year. I need Sophia to take care of the kids for me.”“What is it?” Lucifer’s eyes became even colder. She was forcing him to bring Sophia back by pleading to his feelings for her.“When my mom passed away, I spread her ashes at Mount Reditus. I’m regretting it now. I should have buried her together with my grandma.”She tried her best not to cry. “But I didn’t have the ability back then, and I didn’t want to bother anyone. My mom couldn’t be buried in the Lawson family cemetery.”Lucifer raised an eyebrow and asked, “You want
“Are you some con artist from somewhere?”“You look nice. How did you end up being a con artist?”“I can tell you that our family has plenty of connections. We can send you to prison at any time!”After listening to it all without budging, Fia simply said faintly, “Give me a price.”Her three uncles were much older than before, but they still liked to talk just like they did in the past.But she was not here to start a fight. If money could be used to fix it, then she would choose to use money.The three siblings looked at each other. “You really want to build a memorial for our sister in the cemetery?”“Yes.”Fia took out a drafted contract. “Sign the contract, and I will transfer the funds to you.”When the siblings finished reading the contract, they were all quite perplexed. The land for the memorial that would be set up next to Thea’s grave wouldn’t need a large piece of land.But the woman gave them such a high price. 600,000 dollars! She was rich!“That’s too little!”
The siblings then told everything to their wives. The six of them were having a heated discussion.Wallace’s wife said, “12 million... Not twelve dollars...! Is that woman really that rich? She’s not lying, is she? She’ll give us the money as long as we get your sister into the cemetery?”“It’s just a memorial. There’s no body, no urn of ashes. It’s nothing much, really,” Wallace said. “All of you know what our company is like right now. The 12 million can help our company survive the hardship ahead.”Douglas’s wife said, “But isn’t it a bit too much to include her in all the festivities though?”Hector’s wife weakly said, “Not really. She never married, so she’s still part of the family.”The three siblings glared at her immediately.She continued, “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just being honest. Not to mention... The company was going bankrupt five years ago anyway. It’s all thanks to Fia’s father that we managed to survive.”She normally didn’t like to talk that m
"Maxwell Corporation is a big company, and working as a secretary there will be a profitable move for you. The salary will definitely be high!" Fia’s three uncles, who were confused about the situation, took turns trying to convince her with similar words. After managing to suppress her anger for a few minutes, Fia stared at her eldest uncle and asked, "What conditions did you set with him?" For a brief moment, her eldest uncle felt like the girl in front of him resembled Fia. But on closer examination, she didn't. This girl had a healthy wheatish complexion, quite different from his fair-skinned niece. "That's something you don't need to worry about. All you need to know is that with Mr. Maxwell’s support, the Lawsons will never break their word." Fuming, Fia knew that these three brothers didn't dare to defy Conrad. However, she couldn't believe they had inexplicably sold her off! She was itching to give these three a piece of her mind. Seeing that she was silent,
Adrian and Irene nodded apathetically."When you go to kindergarten, Mommy will go to work to earn money, and we'll all work hard together, okay?""Mommy, where will you work?" Adrian and Irene looked at her.Fia smiled and replied, "I'll be working at Maxwell Corporation."“Where that man is?” Adrian frowned. “Why are you going there to work?”Irene bit her fingernail and said, "I don't see any problem with it as long as Mommy is happy."Adrian asked, "Will Mommy be happy?"Fia was somewhat at a loss. Her two children were sensitive and always asked piercing questions.Lucifer, who was assembling puzzle pieces, calmly said, "Adrian, Irene, your mom is an adult, and adults have their own reasons for doing things.""Alright, Daddy, if you're not unhappy, then we have nothing to say," Adrian replied, sounding a bit upset.Lucifer chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Little guy, you're sort of scolding me indirectly, aren't you?""I dare not." Adrian sniffled and said, somewhat aggr
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
