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
“You have to!” Conrad said as he put his finger on her lips. “So you can learn how to hold your breath when diving.”Fia’s eyes turned even red. This womanizer! He was complaining that she couldn’t hold her breath while kissing!...“Do you, Victor Maxwell, take Sapphire Starling to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?”Victor looked at the woman opposite him. She was wearing a white dress and her hair tied up, flowing in the wind.His vision blurred, and the woman in front of her changed her face. It was that disobedient Eileen.He frowned and said, “No, I don’t.”Everyone under the platform was in an uproar, and the woman opposite him was stunned. Her bouquet fell on the ground.She asked again, “What are you talking about, Victor?”Victor shook his head. His vision cleared, and he saw his fiancé Sapphire in front of him. His mood turned sou
Silas said, “I would advise you to complete the marriage first.”At this time, Victor’s parents and Sapphire’s parents and friends had all caught up with him.“What are you doing, Victor?”“What’s more important than your marriage?”“You’ll only be marrying once! How could you leave Sapphire alone like that?!”“There are so many guests here today! How will they look at us after this?!”Victor’s veins on his forehead were popping as he looked at Sapphire, who was still on the platform. Her friends were helping Sapphire to stand. They looked at each other from afar, and she didn’t dare to speak for herself, so she could only place her hope in her friends and family.“It’s just a front. Once I’m done, I’ll grab the marriage certificate with her!”And according to his tone, there was no room for debate. Sapphire had just stood up and almost collapsed when she heard his heartless words.Her friends then asked worryingly, “Maybe... You should go with him?”“No, I need to stay beh
Conrad gulped and said, “Ms. Reid is here.”“What?!” Fia was instantly worried and wanted Conrad to let her down.Conrad's grip on her tightened, and he said, “My people are there. She’ll be fine.”“Is she crying?”“No.”“Please take me to her,” Fia said as she sobbed. She was too worried about Eileen.“Ms. Reid has her freedom. She came to the wedding because she wanted to end things with Victor.”Conrad and Silas exchanged looks, signaling for Silas to take care of Eileen. Afterward, he then turned around and left together with Eileen.There were too many people there. He didn’t want Fia to be their center of attention.“Where are you taking me? Aren’t you taking me to see Eileen?”“Let’s go home for now. Silas will bring her to see you later.”“No! I want to stay with her!”“Fia! You can’t see right now! You can’t help her!” Conrad’s voice was firm, and Fia stopped resisting. He was right. She couldn’t help Eileen when she was blind.... Slap!Eileen slapped Victor
“I’m sorry,” Eileen said, covering her face with her hands. “It’s my fault for being unable to control my emotions and getting you into so much trouble.”Silas replied, “You shouldn’t see Mr. Maxwell again before you leave the country.”“I won’t.” She had given up. She personally went to his marriage so that she could get some closure....At the mansion, Fia kept pestering Conrad.“When is Eileen coming?” Fia asked for the umpteenth time since she and Conrad had returned to the mansion.Conrad’s expression darkened. He was really jealous of Eileen’s position in Fia's heart.He would want to take away Fia’s memory of her if he could.“Did you lie to me, Conrad?” Fia was becoming increasingly anxious to the point that she was pinching Conrad’s arm.Conrad then looked at Silas’s position on his phone and said, “They're almost here.”He had just finished saying it, and a honk could be heard from outside. Fia quickly stood up, “Is that Eileen?”Conrad sighed as he stood up a
