Just sleep. Everything would be better after some sleep.“Why are you here, Conrad?”Esme couldn’t sleep, so she drove to a bar near the university. Surprisingly, she found Conrad there, having drunk to the point of sprawling on the counter.Conrad was already somewhat drunk, and he looked at the ecstatic Esme.Perhaps it was because both Fia and she shared the same blood from the Lawsons. In that instant he thought he saw Fia.He shook his head and said, “Why are you here, Esme?”“I couldn’t sleep so I came over to have a walk. We used to come to this bar all the time. Fia’s first experience at the bar was here too, all because I dragged her here.” Esme suddenly locked her eyebrows together and explained, “Don’t misunderstand me, Conrad. I didn’t follow you. It’s really a coincidence that I see you here.”“I know.”He had already deleted the GPS tracker on his phone.He took his phone and gave it a look. Fia didn’t call or message him.He then placed it on the table with a s
Esme raised her eyebrow as she looked at the stairway in the corner of the bar. She saw Victor holding a woman that was heavily covered. That couldn’t be Sapphire.Who could it be?”“Conrad, I’m going to the washroom. Don’t go anywhere or you’ll end up in a fight again.”“Sure.”Conrad let out a bitter smile. Esme was still worried that he would start fights just like he did when he was still in school.He sighed at how thoughtful she was, but he could no longer find those feelings he had for her all those years ago. As his father never came home, he got used to seeing his mother’s resentment. She wanted him to be loyal to his love. When he found the love of his life, he would let her nag and manage him, but he would still be a dependable figure for her.And Esme treated him just like that when they were younger. When she depended on him, she would be like a girl, but when she tried to correct him, she would be like his mother.Then he remembered Fia. When Esme dragged her alo
“The staff know that but other people don’t!” Eileen remembered Esme who was out in the front and she had a bad feeling about it. “That homewrecker is right downstairs!”“I’m not Conrad. She’s not interested in me.”“What do you know?!” Eileen was so angry that she could feel her chest getting painful. He kept finding ways to lure her out. This time, he said that he was going to introduce her to a director directing a fantasy film. In the end, she didn’t see any director. He knew that she had been avoiding him so he used this as an excuse to get her out and sleep with her!“It’s not nice to yell at me, alright?”Victor pushed Eileen toward the door with his eyes cold. “Eileen, aren’t you getting a bit too cocky because of your popularity?”“Ha…” Eileen snickered and placed her finger on Victor’s chest. “If you really love my body, why don’t we make a trade?”When she talked about trade, both of them remembered something, and their expressions changed.They were silent for a few
Fia had imagined all the ways they would embarrass her, but she never thought that one day, Conrad would lead Esme into their bedroom.“What are you doing?!” She raised her volume with her eyes opened wide.Conrad massaged his heavy head and looked at her with a frown.“Esme sent me home.”“Right into the bedroom?! Are you asking me to give way to you two?!”Fia’s hands curled into fists. She didn’t understand how shameless they could be! She was so embarrassed she felt she could die from it!Conrad turned around and frowned.“Why did you follow me?”“I was worried that you’d fall, Conrad. I didn’t mean anything.”“Get out!”Fia looked at the two of them and felt that they were just acting. They should have joined Hollywood so that they didn’t waste their acting skills!’“No need. I’ll leave!”She grabbed her phone and went out. When she was walking by, Conrad grabbed her wrist.“I’m not feeling well. Can you please not start another argument?”“An argument? Let go!” Fia
“What happened? Fia? How did she roll down the stairs?!”Mrs. Taylor didn’t have time to think why Esme was there and why the Madam rolled downstairs. She screamed, “Call the doctor! The doctor!”She wanted to help Fia up but was worried that she might have been hurt somewhere, and she saw blood flowing down from under Fia.“Blood… Blood…”Esme saw it from the top of the staircase as well and couldn’t help but smile.Great. The child was gone, and she no longer had any connection to Conrad!At that moment, Jason and the other medical staff rushed into the mansion. They saw Fia lying at the bottom of the staircase with blood all over.He immediately rushed over and put her on the stretcher along with the other medical personnel.When Esme saw what happened, she yelled, “Doctor, Conrad’s fainted too. The call was made for him!”“What’s going on here?!” Mrs. Taylor cried out.Jason looked at Esme and he felt that he needed to be on guard against her. He pulled Mrs. Taylor, who w
Mrs. Taylor was so shocked by what Fia had to say that she was rendered speechless.She realized that the madam had changed. She changed so much that she felt like she no longer knew her.“Have a rest, madam. I’ll take a look at the master.”Fia held Mrs. Taylor’s hand and stared into her eyes.“Can you help me, Mrs. Taylor?”“With what?”“Once Conrad is awake, I will tell him what Esme did to me. Can you be my witness?”Mrs. Taylor was stunned. This was not the same innocent woman she knew.“But… I really didn’t see Ms. Manning there at the time.”Fia frowned with tears in her eyes as she held Mrs. Taylor’s hand tightly.“I didn’t lie. I really didn’t lie. I simply want her to pay the price for what she did. I can’t hold on anymore… I really can’t.”“I’m sorry, madam. I’m on your side but I didn’t see it with my own eyes. I can’t lie for you.” Mrs. Taylor could feel the pain in her own heart. She didn’t like Esme too, but she really couldn’t help her when she didn’t see it
His heart almost stopped when he arrived with the other medical staff and saw her lying there covered in blood.He was really scared that the marriage would ruin her and take her away. That he would no longer be able to see her ever again.“I… I’m alright. ” Fia calmed down after she let out her tears.Jason let go of her and blew at the gauze wrapping on her head. “Now, don’t be so naughty and rest well in the hospital. Just don’t go anywhere, alright?”Fia nodded with her eyes red.At the door of the ward, Conrad was standing barefooted in a hospital gown. He had been standing there for a while and saw how his wife hugged Jason and cried in his arms. He was angry, but Mrs. Taylor’s words echoed in his ears again and again.“I beg you, Master Maxwell! Please treat the madam well! She didn’t even dare to tell you that she’s pregnant because you’ve hurt her so much and she didn’t dare to depend on you!”He couldn’t believe it at first. How could she get pregnant when she was infe
“Ahaha! You say it’s impossible without any investigation?”Fia laughed out in despair as her eyes filled with anguish.When Conrad saw her eyes, he could feel the pain in his heart as well. He couldn’t even think about Esme anymore and simply wanted to hug her.“Don’t touch me!” She glared at her icily. “Don’t disgust me!”“Don’t get angry, Fia. The doctor said that you have to rest well. You’ve managed to protect the child after so long… You can’t risk it anymore.”Conrad knew that it was already very hard for her to get pregnant.Fia frowned and shook her head. “I wasn’t expecting you to find out about my pregnancy like this.”“Fia, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”“Do you think I didn’t want to tell you? How many times have I tried telling you about it? And do you remember what you said?!”Conrad was stunned. He remembered the numerous times she asked about artificial insemination and asked if he wanted children.He said that they were a mistake and that they couldn’t get
