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
At the hospital, in Mrs. Taylor’s ward.Seeing Conrad leading Fia in, Mrs. Taylor, who was lying on the bed, struggled to get up till she tugged at her wound and she cried out in pain.Conrad saw this and said, “Mrs. Taylor, lie down. Don’t move about.”“Master, Madam, forgive my disrespect!” Mrs. Taylor’s face was flushed. She was ashamed. Laying in the hospital was using Conrad’s money and yet she was unable to serve these two people before her. She was suffering within.Fia appeared guilty, and her empty gaze looked at Mrs. Taylor’s bed.“Lie down properly. Don’t move about.”Conrad supported her and helped her to sit on a chair. She said, “Conrad, leave for a bit. Let Mrs. Taylor and I talk a little.”“Alright.”After Conrad left, Fia’s hand moved about in search and finally held one of Mrs. Taylor’s hands that was by the edge of the bed.“I’m sorry, Mrs. Taylor.”Mrs. Taylor looked at Fia’s eyes that were no longer shining and bright and she spoke, feeling sad. “Madam, w
Eileen was choked by her own anger as she turned to look at Fia.Only to see her come down from Conrad in a hurry. “What happened, Eileen?”She pulled Conrad to head further ahead, wanting to interact with Eileen closer.Conrad had no choice but to carefully guide her to the side of her bed.When she sat on the side of the bed, Fia carefully held Eileen’s hand and wrist.“Eileen, you’ve lost weight.”Eileen suppressed her desire to share with her just how bad it had been for her, and then said calmly, “I came to the hospital to get myself a checkup. Found out that my stomach isn’t doing that well, so I have to be careful of what I eat. That’s why I lost some weight.”“You lied to me,” Fia mumbled. “You and Mrs. Taylor are staying in the same area. Both of you are inside a ward for orthopedics patients.” Eileen couldn’t say anything and simply turned to look at Conrad, hoping that he would help her. So that Fia wouldn’t grow worried.Meanwhile, Victor sneered icily and said, “
“Conrad… I’m not as young as Fia and Ms. Reid. I’m even several months older than you. I’m going to be thirty next year.“In these thirty years… Other than the ages when I didn’t know what love was, I spent all my time and thoughts on Victor. How can I just let go like that?”The more Sapphire spoke, the more hurt she felt. Her sorrow was painted on her face.“You’ll never be able to feel how I feel since you’ve never loved someone so deeply. Ask Fia. If she was me, could she let go of you?”Conrad’s expression immediately darkened. “Don’t compare her with you. You’re different!”“What difference is there?” Sapphire looked at Conrad pitifully. He didn’t know that Fia had been secretly in love with him for so long and he had hurt her so much.She initially wanted to tell Conrad about it, but she didn’t want to be that generous anymore!She had never harmed anyone. But her deep love for a man was never reciprocated! Why should she help others get their happy ending?“Whatever. Fo
“It’s not just about slipping! You almost lost your life there!” Fia bought Eileen’s excuse and thought that she fell out of the window because she slipped while she was changing the curtains.Eileen quickly asked Lyn to get some good takeaway out of guilt. Once they had finished their meal, she told Fia to go home.Originally, she wanted to call Conrad on Fia’s behalf so that he could come and pick her up. But when Fia remembered that Conrad could become so busy that he didn’t even have time to go to the bathroom, she refused.In the end, Eileen told her personal assistant Lyn and her driver to send Fia to Maxwell Corporation.Lyn helped Fia walk out of the hospital and into her van, helping her all along the way.Once she was in, she first helped Fia get seated properly and then helped her put on the seatbelt.When she was done, she looked at the driver in the driver’s seat and noticed that they were already some distance away.“Hey, slow down. Fia can’t see. You’ll scare her.
“Who asked you to find me?”Fia was trying to find her phone while carefully speaking with the man to distract him.“How much is that person paying you? We can talk about this. I can pay double so that I’m unharmed.”The man slowed down, as if thinking about Fia’s offer.“Will that work?” Fia said in a careful and honest tone, so that she wouldn’t anger the driver.“Quiet!” The man let out a low, agitated roar, as if he was irritated by something. “It’s not about the money. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not knowing your own social station and offending someone else!”Fia remained silent. She already had the phone in her hand.She had just wanted to press on the emergency call when someone called in.“What are you doing?!” The man suddenly turned to the roadside and stopped, while extending his hand to grab Fia’s purse.Fia quickly pressed to answer the call and heard someone say, “Hello.” She didn’t have time to consider who it was before screaming, “Help! S
Lyn was shocked.“Darn it! You don’t want to live anymore, do you?!” The man brutally turned the wheel toward the fence by the road.However, he stepped on the brake at the last moment when he remembered his old mother.The car flipped over, and the windows shattered.The man crashed his head into the steering wheel and lost consciousness!Fia flew out from the windshield and rammed into the fence before falling to the ground like a ragdoll.Lyn was wearing her seatbelt, and she had managed to hold the handle when it happened. So despite her bruises, she was mostly fine.“Fia…”Seeing Fia thrown out of the vehicle, she was so anxious that she teared up. She wanted to release the seat belt but realized that her arm was in so much pain that she couldn’t use any strength.The sky was getting cloudier and darker as raindrops began to fall. The heavy rain came unexpectedly.Fia didn’t know how long she had fainted. She woke up from her pain as the rain fell on her.However, there
She was not worthy of him.Right from the start."Wait a moment."She lowered her head to treat the wounds of a mother and son, then stood up with the medical kit and smiled at him."Shall I treat you to a meal?""Sure."She led him through the damp and moldy alley to a shabby restaurant.She ordered two bowls of noodles in the local language, sat down at the old table, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it vigorously.Conrad looked at her. It was obvious that she was different from before.She had gone through hardship, suffering, despair, and then settled down.The noodles were not delicious. There was no oil or salt, and even the soup was bland and tasteless.He looked at her sallow face and said, "Is this what you've been eating the whole year you’ve been here?""This is considered a good meal." Annie did not complain and said that she usually just ate some steamed buns.The conditions here were poor and backward in various ways.Moreover, Lucifer was determined to ma
Fia stood on the streets, looking at the photos and remembering what Lucifer had once mentioned."When everything is over, how about I take you, Adrian, and Irene on a trip?"The man's blue eyes were like the sea, looking at her deeply.She fell into a daze for a moment back then.After coming back to her senses, she replied without emotion, "You should find a partner and travel around the world, and I should live a good life with my children."The sound of car horns on the road brought Fia back from her thoughts.She looked at the blue sky and white clouds and remembered the beggar boy she met on the bridge when she was a child.If he hadn't been taken away that day, would it have been different if he managed to wait until she and her mother went to find him?The days ahead were still very long, and she was not sure whether she would be able to live peacefully with Conrad in the future.But she would never swallow her anger like she did before.Later, Conrad, a decisive char
Irene whimpered, turned around, and hugged Adrian. "Adrian, does Daddy not want us anymore?""No, don't talk nonsense! Didn't you hear what Daddy just said?""I heard him, but why do we have to choose? I won't be happy no matter who Mommy marries.""Shut up!" Adrian was a little anxious. If this silly sister of his said in front of everyone that their mommy could marry two men, it would be over!"Why shut up? Why can't we be with Mommy, Daddy, and our biological dad..."Adrian immediately covered her mouth. He knew that this sister of his could not speak normal words!Everyone in the audience also had mixed emotions. Those who originally complained about Lucifer’s actions all became quiet at this moment.With Lucifer’s blessings, Conrad took off the mask.Fia looked at him, tears rolling down her face.How much she had wished to have a wedding back then. She did not expect it to be so many years late.Conrad said with difficulty, "I didn't expect him to do this either."He w
"Do you really want to stop the wedding?" Lucifer smiled half-heartedly, looking at him like a fool.***"What's going on? Why hasn't the groom come yet?" Everyone couldn't help discussing.Fia stood on the stage and exchanged looks with the emcee.Both of them were a little tired from standing.The emcee asked her awkwardly, "The groom?""He should be coming soon." After Fia finished speaking, the wind blew and revealed her face under the veil. "Just wait."The emcee cursed internally. 'It's really rare to have a wedding with such a beautiful bride kept waiting.'Fia fiddled with the veil on her head to cover her face, making her hazy beauty even more attractive.Just as everyone was waiting impatiently, the music suddenly changed to a more passionate one.The groom appeared.Wearing a black suit with gold threads and a blue rose on his chest, the six-foot-two man wore a golden mask on his face.With just one glance, Fia’s heart suddenly jumped and her body temperature bec
The two kids could only rush back to find their mother and tell her what happened.Fia did not panic. "You were raised by Daddy. Don't you trust him? He is a man who keeps his promises. He said he is just inviting them to the wedding, so they are just attending the wedding."Even though she was suspicious in her heart, she would not speak ill of him to her two children.This island belonged to Lucifer, and his spies were everywhere.If he was infuriated, no one stood to gain anything from it."But that person was not arranged to sit down. He was taken into the woods," Adrian said anxiously.Fia turned to look at her son. "Are you worried about him?"Adrian could not look directly at her.Irene spoke first. "I'm the one who’s worried. I don't want them to fight.""Oh." Fia reassured them. "It should be fine. Today is a special day. Your daddy will not want to see blood."She thought Lucifer was simply afraid that Conrad would cause trouble, so he brought him to the island to l
Amused, Lucifer said, "Those people are not under my command.""They gave you all the companies under their names. You said you'd let bygones be bygones, but if you go back on your word, how will your subordinates see you?"Fia’s eyes were a little arrogant.Lucifer’s expression turned cold and he stared at her and said, "How important do you think Hellish Training Camp is to me?""Then give it away!" Fia raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of teasing.Lucifer was speechless for a couple of seconds and explained to her seriously in a rare instance, "Those people have sacrificed a lot since they started following me. I can't ignore them. Except one day when there is a more suitable successor. I will take the initiative to give up my position.""Then you have to lead them well." Fia smiled slyly.Lucifer gritted his teeth with hatred. "Marrying you is equivalent to marrying a housekeeper. From now on, must everything I do have your permission?"Fia said, "Invisible shackles."On
"I got it.""Thank you, Daddy!" Adrian kissed him twice on the face. "My sister and I will take care of you until you die.""Hahahaha!" Lucifer could not stop laughing. "Okay, I'll wait until you two grow up to see me off."He smiled while carrying Adrian and walked to Fia and Irene.Irene was eating something and said vaguely, "Adrian’s temper is getting worse now, and he lost his temper with me.""Who is angry with you!" Adrian slid off Lucifer. "Who do you think you are, that you can influence me?""Mommy, Adrian is shouting at me!" Irene pouted.Adrian turned his back. "Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore."Lucifer and Fia looked at Irene."Mommy, Daddy, what are you looking at me for?" Irene blinked, looking innocent.Lucifer sat down beside her. "Adrian should love you, but you should also respect him.""Didn't I respect him?" Irene was a little confused.Fia said, "While I'm still here, you just spread rumors that he is angry with you."Irene replied, "But he was
Eileen returned to the living room."Is she really going to marry Lucifer?" Victor asked nervously.Eileen remained silent.Victor threw the spatula in his hand. "Can't you stop her for a bit?""Why should I stop her? No matter who she marries, she will always be my best friend!" Eileen said angrily. "Whoever wants to stop her should stop her on their own!"Victor saw that she was angry and quickly picked up the spatula. "I'm going to cook."Eileen rolled her eyes at him, sat on the sofa, and scrolled through her phone.Thinking of Adrian and Irene, she could not help but feel a little irritable.What if Fia and Lucifer had a child in the future?For the happiness of the two children, she forwarded the photo sent by Fia to Conrad.After Conrad received the photo, he immediately ordered everyone under him to put down all work and find the location in the photo.Three days later.The wedding on the island was beautifully decorated, dreamy and gorgeous, with Lucifer’s involvem
Soon, Fia knew what they were doing with just a little of the decoration showing.Decorating the wedding venue.Irene was a little girl who was very happy when she saw balloons and pink ribbons.She ran over and grabbed them, but her brother, Adrian, slapped her little hand."Don't cause trouble!""So beautiful! These uncles and aunts were invited by Daddy. Can't I play with these things?"Adrian pinched her cheek and said, "That's Daddy decorating the wedding scene for Mommy!""What?" Irene immediately retracted her hand and said with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. I didn't know."Adrian rubbed her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Don’t simply meddle. It should be beautiful when it's done."Irene nodded, took her brother’s hand and hid under a nearby coconut tree, and spent the whole day doing nothing except cooking and watching them.By evening, the dreamy and beautiful wedding scene was mostly completed.Irene leaned against her brother and asked dully, "Daddy and Momm
