Conrad yelled, "No matter how you try to twist the truth and defend yourself, it won't change the facts!" "You should visit the psychiatry department," Fia casually remarked, walking toward Lucifer.Lucifer rubbed his arms and said, "It's too cold. I should have worn more clothes."Fia handed him the coat she was holding. "Next time you go out, remember to dress properly.""Okay, let's go home quickly. We don't want the children to worry," Lucifer said, holding Fia’s waist lightly.Conrad was infuriated, and his amber eyes almost turned red. He clenched his fists and was about to go after them but was stopped in time by Silas."Sir, stay calm. Ms. Sia has a bad temper. If we offend her, it will be more trouble than it's worth."Conrad shook off Silas’ hand and said coldly, "Check the DNA of those two children."Silas was taken aback. "Do you really believe what Mrs. Lane said?"He was worried that if the results didn't match what they expected, Conrad wouldn't be able to han
Tiger was so excited that he could not even speak, offering the paternity test report with both hands.“Sir, take a look yourself.”Conrad pinched his hands to control his shaking.After a few minutes, he finished looking through the content a number of times without missing a single word.“Tiger, they are really my children!”“Yes!”“My children! They’re all fine!” Conrad was extremely excited and he hugged Tiger.Although he knew it before, without the paternity tests’ confirmation, he still felt a little uncertain on the inside.At this moment, great joy enveloped him.Tiger was also very happy. As long as Sir and Madam made up, Sophia and him would be able to have good days ahead.The doorbell rang and then came fervent and incessant knocks. Fia opened the door and the moment she saw Conrad, she was ready to blow her top.He, on the other hand, said excitedly, “They are my children!”Fia frowned.Conrad wanted to punch through the window and show her the paternity test
The two children leapt into Fia’s embrace and patted her back with their little hands. “Mommy, don’t worry. We’ll be very obedient,” Irene said. Adrian said, “We won’t leave you.”Fia felt her nose tingle and she almost cried. Her son very sensitively noticed what she was thinking about.Conrad returned home and asked Tiger, “What should I do so she’ll give me a chance?”Tiger looked at him awkwardly. “Madam appears even colder than Sophia now. I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”“There has to be a way!” Conrad wiped his face. “Let’s start from Lucifer.”Tiger learned from Silas that Conrad was targeting the companies under Lucifer’s name.He couldn't help but say, "Mr. Guthrie’s private identity is even scarier. But your public actions against his companies will only make him speak ill of you."Conrad sat there, running his fingers through his hair. He desperately wanted Fia and the children to return to his side. He couldn't keep up the pretense of calm any longer."Sir, don'
“Can you let go?” Fia went silent for a couple of seconds before she bit the bullet and spoke up under Lucifer’s intense gaze.Hearing her words, his expression instantly grew dark."If I asked you to forget what you went through in that marriage five years ago, would you be able to do that?""Sorry, you can pretend I didn't say that." Fia sighed. "This is going to be a tough battle.""I won't lose."Soon after, Lucifer received a call from the management team at his company.His expression grew progressively worse, and Fia, observing from the side, had an inkling of what might be happening."I might not be able to spend the New Year with you all."After hanging up, he said apologetically.Fia asked, "What happened?""There's an issue with my overseas company." Lucifer stepped forward and lightly embraced her as a gesture. "I'll work as quickly as I can to come back. Please wait for me with the children."He released her after the brief embrace, showing restraint and respect
"I'm not being fierce. I just want to find out why Daddy promised to spend New Year's with us but suddenly disappeared."Adrian stared at his mother solemnly. “Did that scum do something?”Fia was speechless.What an astute son she had.Naturally she also knew that Lucifer’s company abroad facing issues was definitely Conrad’s handiwork.However, what could she do?She didn't want to meddle in the affairs between the two men."Mommy." Adrian looked directly at her in utmost seriousness. "If he and Daddy end up in a fight, who will you support?""Why would they fight?" Irene was a little emotional. "I don't want them to fight!"Fia frowned as she held Irene in her arms, looking helplessly at Adrian."Adrian, let's focus on living our own lives and not think about these things, alright?""Mommy, you told us to treat Daddy well. You can't let Daddy down." Two streams of tears fell from Adrian’s amber eyes.Fia felt her heart twisting in pain. She wiped away his tears."Yes, i
After a quick glance at the scum who was blocking the elevator door, Adrian gave up his struggle. Once they arrived at Conrad’s house, Mrs. Taylor directed him to wash the fruits, while she took the mother and her children into the living room.She was worried that if she let go, the three of them might leave.When Conrad returned after washing the fruits, she stood up. "You can sit and watch TV while enjoying some fruit. I'll go prepare the meal!""Thank you, Granny," Irene responded sweetly."Oh my, the little miss is really cute!" Mrs. Taylor swiftly went to the kitchen and started cooking.Fia swept a glance at Conrad, who was sitting across from her, and shifted uncomfortably in her seat.She asked, "Why did you decide to bring Mrs. Taylor here?"Conrad replied, "She's getting older, and I didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone in Gryphon."Fia inquired, "Is Ford in the capital too?""Yes, he is," Conrad replied as he leaned forward and picked up some cherries, offe
Conrad put a set of chopsticks on the edge of Fia’s bowl and asked, "What's wrong?"She shook her head, remaining silent.She was still somewhat shocked, having once hoped he could be a decent father. However, witnessing his casual behavior at the dinner table without any sense of paternal authority was still astonishing.With his temper, she had thought he would have been a more rigid and serious father."Master Maxwell has the potential to be a good father," Mrs. Taylor commented with a smile.Indeed, Conrad was making an effort to be a good parent, picking out their favorite dishes and using the common chopsticks to serve Irene and Adrian.Irene would sweetly thank him.Adrian would stare at the mountain of food in his bowl with great bitterness and deep hatred. In the end, he asked, unable to resist, "How do you know I like to eat all this?""We've had a few meals together, and I noticed," Conrad replied.Adrian frowned and hummed an acknowledgement.“Oh my, little young
The two siblings were finding the scum more and more pitiful.Fia gave a helpless smile. “So, Adrian, when you came out from the kitchen and sat down with him and even decided to frequently eat at his house, was it all because he is pitiful?”“Not entirely. The most important thing is still that Granny’s food is really good!” Adrian rubbed his sister’s head. “Don’t you think so?”Irene immediately nodded. “Yes yes yes.”Fia was left quite speechless.However, she had thought things through. She would not be a mother who controlled her children.Just like the current situation. If the two children wanted to grow close to Conrad, she would let them be as much as possible.Who knew when Lucifer and Conrad would start to fight. She and the children might have to leave. So, her letting them be could be considered as making sure the children did not have any regrets.Ultimately, she could only let the two children get a little closer to Conrad, but it was absolutely impossible for he
