Fia’s expression was one of surprise. Yes, she heard everything.She had been afraid that Conrad was only verbally agreeing and wouldn’t actually help her.“Madam, I wish that you and my boss can both let go of all the bad things that have been holding you back. Give yourselves a chance, and cherish each other.” Silas finished saying everything in one go.Fia’s hands curled into a ball. Those words stabbed right into her heart.She was hoping to be able to hear how fake Conrad was when she eavesdropped, but he wasn’t.“Madam, I have to go back to the company now. Let me help you get back to the second floor.”“It’s fine. Go back to work then. I’ll sit here for a while. I need to think things through.”Silas didn’t move and looked at Fia worryingly.As he had always been by Conrad’s side, he didn’t need Conrad to tell him to talk to the doctors to know what was going on with her sickness. “You should go down, madam.”“What, are you worried that I’ll kill myself?”Silas’s heart
Fia’s heart kept on thumping and she wanted to pull her hands out of his grasp. Conrad held them even tighter.“Fia, we’re husband and wife. We should be honest with each other.”“But how?” She frowned, and the sorrow clouded her sightless eyes. “I explained to you so many times but you never stood by my side. How can you tell me to be honest? I wouldn’t dare, would I?”Fia smiled bitterly and said, “Now that Esme is gone, maybe someone else will appear. If I were to be honest with you, and tell you why I’m unhappy, are you sure that you can still stand by my side and make me happy?”Conrad felt even guiltier when what happened in the past appeared in his mind.He held her hands tighter. “I can do it!”Fia bent over slightly until her forehead hit his.“I believe that you can’t, Conrad Maxwell. I can’t believe you like how I naively did in the past. I believed that you’re my husband, someone that I could depend on.”Conrad felt like his heart was being stabbed. Her words were l
“Are you sure that you want to stay together with me?” Her nail pressed into his throat lightly. “I’m not exceptional, I can’t speak well, and I have no family background that is equal to yours.”“The one I want is you!” Conrad said and once again he kissed Fia’s lips. He was gentle and careful.After two minutes, he let go of her as he gasped, suppressing the fire inside of him.He slowly said, “This has nothing to do with your family or your results. I simply want to live together with you. I won’t betray you, and you won’t betray me.”Fia forgot all the unhappiness she felt for a little while and said, “We shall be the ones that accompany each other for the longest in each other’s lives.”Conrad was stunned as her words reminded him of something.“Yes! You’ll be the one who will accompany me for the longest! Please don’t leave me, okay?”He caught her in his arms and then raised her high in the air.She couldn’t see, so when she was suddenly thrown upward she cried out in su
Conrad stared at Fia in confusion.During these days, he would always help her wear her clothes. While she would be embarrassed every time, she didn’t refuse.But after becoming closer, she refused.However, he realized she was suddenly more alive than in the past. She was not like a robot anymore.Fia didn’t hear his voice and asked, “Have you flipped the clothes?”“Fia, I’m your husband.” Conrad’s brain began to speculate the reason for her sudden refusal and realized why. “Doing things for you is a husband’s duty.”Fia was suddenly stunned as if a firework exploded in her heart.Conrad bent down and held Fia’s face in his hands.“Fia, you’re not garbage. Don’t think of yourself like that.”Fia felt like her most embarrassing moment had been shown to the public in that instant. She had nowhere to run but to pounce into his arms.Conrad’s heart was heavy. He suddenly realized that the girl before him had always been cautious.“Are you afraid of me?”Fia shook her head in h
He was worried that Fia would disappear from his world just like Esme.When he realized the possibility of that happening, his heart couldn’t stop beating anxiously. He never felt that, even when Esme left without a word.In her dreams, Fia was in her gray world again. She was surrounded by the baby’s cries.She couldn’t see anything, touch anything. She knelt on the icy water, her body slowly drowning down.“Mommy! Mommy! Ahhhh! Mommy...”The baby’s cries pierced through her heart.She could feel the pain extending to her limbs. She couldn’t fight back. All she could do was let her body drown. First, it was her chest, shoulder, chin, and mouth, and the water entered her mouth and nose.The suffocation was killing her. Just when she thought she would die from drowning, a worried voice called out to her, and she opened her eyes.“Fia...”“Fia, are you having a nightmare?”Conrad held her shoulders and looked at her, drenched in sweat. He looked at her curiously and asked, “Wha
The security smiled mockingly at the man through the black glass, “That’s our big boss.”“What boss? Don’t you dare look down on us! He can drive his car into the farm, but we can't?!”“Sorry, our farm doesn’t allow customers’ cars to drive in,” the security pointed at the giant car park opposite. “The car park we’ve prepared for the customers is over there.”“The farm is a business! Why can he drive his own car into the farm but not the customers!”“That’s right! Aren’t customers gods?!” A few more people came to support him.The security smiled coldly. What a lovely dream they’re having! The grass and plants on the farm required a lot of staff and money to maintain, so of course they wouldn’t simply let customers drive in!Even their boss’s own car was parked outside, and they had only saved a parking spot for the big boss.“Tell your boss to come over. I want to ask them what’s the meaning of this! Aren’t customers people as well?”The security then said, “We have a wedding
They all became excited and took pictures from behind.The security standing at the side frowned. Originally, they wanted to stop them. But seeing that Mr. Maxwell introduced her to them, he probably wanted others to know how well he treated her. So, he didn’t stop them.They took a few pictures, showed them to their friends, and thanked the security. They then parked their cars where they were supposed to.Conrad looked at the wedding, and plenty of people were already there. He held the woman in his arms and turned around, walking to the stable.Fia was a very sensitive girl and could sense what he wanted to do.“Since you’re worried people would know I’m blind, why did you bring me along?”Conrad was stunned and explained, “You’re my wife. I have a duty to introduce you to others. As for your eyes... They will recover eventually. I don’t want others to spread unnecessary rumors.”He lowered his head to kiss her brow, worrying she would think about other things again.“Once y
“Conrad, I wish our children could be as great as you!”In her eyes, Conrad was a great man. He didn’t give up because his parents weren’t living in harmony. He didn’t become a plague to society because of a lack of love.While the path he chose was quite controversial, he didn’t surrender to fate and became someone well-known in Gryphon and Fortunate!She was very impressed!Conrad held Fia, sat on the chair under a parasol, and looked at the wedding. He had made a decision. Once her eyes had recovered, he wanted to give her a large wedding.“Fia, I’m not as good as you think you are,” Conrad said as he watched the process of his cousin’s wedding. “I have weaknesses other than running businesses.”“For example, when I chose to marry you, I didn’t do what a husband should. I mistreated you all this while. Then there's socializing. I’m cold and would easily offend others and make enemies.”Fia held his hand and said, “No one’s perfect. You’re already flawless compared to everyone
