“Child, I have not directly told you all this while so that you could do a little thinking before I made things clear.”Finn was extremely distressed and he looked at Conrad who was staring at him coldly.“I’ll treat the both of you for dinner and we can talk properly. Would that be alright?”Conrad looked at Fia. “Do you want to go?”Fia was silent for a moment. “Alright.”Finn found a decent restaurant nearby.He asked for a small room and when he ordered dishes, he enquired about Fia’s preferences.Fia shook her head. “I’m not picky.”Finn looked at her, then ordered seven to eight dishes as well as a soup that was according to Annie’s preference.Fia listened attentively to him ordering before saying lightly, “The dishes Director Parker has ordered are mostly what a young lady would like to eat. This is according to Miss Parker’s preference, isn’t it?”Finn felt embarrassed for a couple of seconds. “Yes. Besides my daughter, Annie, I have not interacted with other young p
“This is a long story. I’ll explain when we get back later.” Finn was overwhelmed. These private matters were much more complicated than office matters.Annie stood rooted to the ground in a daze, not knowing that she was blocking the way of others.Conrad waited for a couple of seconds and lost patience. He spoke coldly. “Move aside!”Annie shrunk back in surprise, not understanding why he was so fierce toward her.Seeing this, Finn instantly got angered.“You little hooligan, what are you shouting at my daughter for! You and Fia are husband and wife. Annie is your younger sister!”Annie looked at Conrad in a daze and then looked at Fia. It was as if she was struck by lightning.They were husband and wife?This outstanding, captivating man was actually married?Her heart felt as if it was stabbed as she asked in a daze, “You are married?”Conrad couldn’t be bothered with her and was worried that Fia would get tired standing, so he picked her up by the waist and carried her i
Insidiously completing everything, Conrad sat back next to Fia, delighted.He opened the conversation between Fia and Jason and kept seeing the indication “typing”, but did not receive a message, so it was clear that Jason was really suffocated by anger.“Fia, I’ll help you peel the prawns.”“Thank you.”After peeling a few prawns and sweeping a few glances at Fia’s phone, and still seeing “typing”, he decided to disgust the other party.[Doctor Evans, Fia and I are getting ready for her to conceive. Is there anything we need to pay attention to?]Jason’s handsome face was dark. If Conrad was in front of him, he would really like to give him a punch.Shamelessly arrogant, and how despicable!After the meal, the two of them returned home and as usual, Conrad filled the bath, took off all her clothes, picked her up, and placed her in the bathtub.Fia laid in the bathtub, and thinking about those words Finn had said, she started to feel frustrated.“How do you plan to deal with
Eileen was speechless. “Why would he tell you that? Is he trying to provoke you?”She really had to take her hat off to Conrad! He took the beauty home and he still wanted to upset his love rival? The problem was that his love rival had always kept his place, so for him to be doing this was too scheming, too sinister, too two-faced.“Doctor Evans, I’m very sorry. I’m not too clear about this matter.” Eileen looked at Jason pitifully. “After all, this is a matter between Fia and Conrad. If you can stay out of this, then stay out of it.”“Of course.” Jason lowered his gaze and said calmly, “She is able to conceive currently, but her emotions are not stable and furthermore, her eyes have yet to recover. I recommend that before her eyes recover, she doesn't get pregnant.”Eileen thought about it and said, “She’s still taking medicine for her eyes. Would it affect her pregnancy in any way if she does get pregnant?”“Doctor Sally has prescribed medicine that are all very safe and would
However, that was more than ten years ago. Later on, Victor was pretty dutiful.She also knew that Conrad wasn’t a petty person.What exactly did Victor do to make Conrad reject him all this while?“Don’t understand why I reject him so much?”“Yeah, I feel like you are a little over the top.”Conrad did not wish to tell Fia about the Maxwells’ matters. However, due to Eileen’s matter, the both of them had directly torn off the facade of peace. He should tell her to remind her as well.“Actually, back then, he was the person who had the highest chance to take over Maxwell Corporation.”Fia listened attentively and asked, “Didn’t he not have interest in taking over the Maxwells’ business and wanted to start from scratch to prove himself?”“That’s not the case. Back then, Grandpa had given him a chance. In order to gain an overseas collaboration, he had sacrificed the interest of the company, which made Grandpa furious.”Fia frowned. Grandpa Maxwell was a principled man and even
"A couple of minutes till midnight.”She was instantly alert and nudged him.“I just remembered. I dropped something under the bed this morning. Help me search for it.”“What is it?”“Search under the bed, you should be able to see it.”“Okay.” Conrad was not suspicious. He got off the bed, turned on his phone's flashlight, and bent his head over to look under the bed.A pink bag, and there was a purple bow… A big envelope?His emotions sank. “The parcel you received yesterday?”He remembered Mrs. Whitley had given her a parcel last night when he was returning home, but she refused to let him see. He had unintentionally noticed the pink package paper.Could it be from that dog whose surname was Evans?“Yes, yes! Help me to open it up and take a look at what's inside.” Fia acted indifferent.Conrad had the urge to throw it out the window. Fia waited for a couple of seconds and did not hear any movement, so she moved to the bedside and grabbed his leg.“Quickly, open it. What
Silly lady! Such a birthday gift was better than giving something tangible or practical.“Fia, go to sleep first.”“What are you going to do?” Fia felt hollow.Conrad tapped her face lightly. “Make the most of my time and complete your design draft. After a night, it would affect my current feeling." Fia’s expression was a little dazed. “You’ll supplement it yourself?”“Yes!”She frowned. “Today is your birthday. Isn’t it too hard like this?”She felt guilty. If her eyes were fine, she could directly draw it out for him.“It’s not too hard. I’m very happy.”Fia did not stop him. She laid on the bed, listening to the rustling that came from nearby.In order to be close to her, Conrad did not go to the study and merely sat in front of her dressing table, taking a pencil and paper to start work.Her details and inspiration were written in detail and his mind automatically came up with a completed blueprint. Following the contours she drew, he was extremely energetic when he drew
“I’m your mother!” Beryl held her chest. “Are you really going to bully me for the sake of that accursed Mrs. Taylor?!”“Me? Bullying you?” Conrad felt a headache coming on. “Have you forgotten what you’ve done? You pushed Mrs. Taylor down the stairs and she is still laying in the hospital now!”The rim of his eyes were a little red. “Mom, since young, you have only been my mother in name. Mrs. Taylor has taken care of me a lot more than you ever have!”Mrs. Taylor was like half a mother to him.“She’s just a nanny at home. Taking care of you is only to be expected!” Beryl’s expression was hideous. “I’m your mother!”“Then what about Fia’s mother? Have you ever felt guilty for all the things you’ve done to her?”Conrad’s expression was gloomy. He was too disappointed in his biological mother.“What should I feel guilty about? She was already severely ill and was about to die soon anyway!” Beryl had a determined look on her face, as if all these people had wronged her.Conrad di
