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
“Fia, you best not be lying to yourself and others.” Lucifer’s blue eyes were deep, filled with warning.Fia flashed a smile. "Rest assured, I won't disappoint you."Lucifer was getting impatient. "Once you're at his company working as a secretary, I need you to obtain some confidential information for me.""I'll complete the mission," Fia replied, dragging her luggage out.***Upon learning that Fia had returned to the capital with the children, Silas immediately called Conradl."Did Lucifer go back to the capital with her and the kids?""Yes. What should we do now? Will you stay in Gryphon?"Conrad rubbed his temples. "Let's go to the capital for the New Year. Bring Mrs. Taylor along and have Ford arrange another farm in the capital.""Alright!" Silas quickly went to make arrangements.As they drove into Aurora Residences, another car blocked their way.Lucifer’s face turned a little cold. "Do they have a death wish?"Fia hurriedly said, "Take Adrian and Irene upstairs, a
