“It hurts!”“You know that it hurts too?” But Peter didn’t stop after that. Instead, he exerted more force to crush Esme’s leg.“This is my last warning. If you start any trouble and provoke anyone again, I’ll personally send you to Conrad Maxwell!”He moved his foot away and then squatted down, holding her red face. “Also, take good care of your face. If you drink any more wine, you’ll definitely fail your plastic surgery and your face will end up destroyed!”Esme’s chest tightened and she grabbed Peter’s wrist.“Don’t you like me? Love me?”Peter’s eyes narrowed and looked at her quietly.“I’m curious. You love me so much… Why must you change my face to someone else’s?”“That’s because…” He swallowed. “Changing that face of yours can save your life!”He held her chin tightly. “Now, calm yourself down. If you go crazy again, I’ll abandon you too!”With that, he bent over and bit her red lips until it bled.The only reason that he chose Britney to be her scapegoat was becaus
The reason she didn’t tell him that her vision had improved was so that she could give him a surprise when her sight got completely restored.Lips and lips touched. He held her face and slowly opened her lips.He growled. “Is this much better?”Fia felt something explode in her mind. She was embarrassed, but she felt sweet as well.It was the first time that he kissed her like this after their marriage.It made her feel cherished.Conrad’s hand slipped to the back of her head as he gently held her, and he also kissed her softly, as if wanting to heal all the wounds inside her heart.A long time passed before Fia eventually pushed him away as she felt it was getting harder to breathe.“Still tastes bland, Fia?”She touched her slightly plump lips. “I don’t know what you’re saying.”“Want more practice?” Conrad joked.“You… Why are you so lecherous all of a sudden?” Fia said with a face red from embarrassment.Conrad chuckled. “Then, do you still want to eat something spicy?”
Annie lowered her eyes. There was disgust in them.She didn’t want to come at all!Ever since she knew that this blind woman was Mr. Maxwell’s wife, her torment never ended!She was only making it worse for herself by coming over and seeing him take such good care of the woman in front of her.And to think that Fia was her uncle’s daughter and that they both had the same blood flowing within their veins… She felt uncomfortable just thinking about it!She could take it if she was a beautiful, healthy, and graceful lady! But, she was just a blind woman. How could she be worthy of him?Realizing how despicable her thoughts had become, Annie looked up nervously, worried that people would see what she was thinking.Luckily, that woman was blind. Mr. Maxwell wasn’t paying attention to her either.“Have some water, Fia.” Conrad held a glass of water and put the straw in before holding it close to Fia’s mouth.When Annie saw that, the envy within her grew even stronger!A great man l
She suddenly didn’t want to play along with her anymore and asked, “Other than visiting me, who else are you visiting?”Annie couldn’t answer the question.“For example, were you thinking of visiting my husband? To see how he was taking care of me? A blind woman?” Fia’s tone was still very gentle and relaxed. No one could hear what she was feeling at the time.Annie frowned, as she couldn’t handle Fia’s tone. “I don’t know what you’re saying!”“You don’t understand my words?” Fia said, her tone slightly icier. “No matter if this is Director Parker’s or your idea, you have an aim yourself, don’t you?”Annie took a deep breath.“Yes, my father has his own goal! He wants you to return to the household since you have no one else. The Parkers can protect you!”“Ha…” Fia chuckled. She found it laughable.“As for my own goals… Fine. I have nothing to hide. I admit that my first impression of Mr. Maxwell is very good! Since he’s a very good man! But the reason that I went to Maxwell Co
An outstanding and charismatic man could attract the attention of any woman by just standing still.She could understand it.But as his wife, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.She would want to bare her fangs and tear them apart with her claws.She would never be as cheap and weak as before anymore and let others attack and harm her first.“Do you think I’m starting trouble out of the blue?”When Conrad saw how sorrowful she was, he massaged her eyebrows.“Did you know, Fia? After I discovered the truth, I’m tormented inside.”“Why?” Fia asked. She couldn’t understand why. She wanted to see the expression on his face, but she couldn’t see anything.He pressed the center of her forehead with his finger.“You’re too kind. You didn’t know how to counterattack. That was why you suffered so much.”Fia’s eyes moved as she wasn’t feeling that comfortable inside.Wasn’t that the truth?Every time she faced Esme’s provocation and traps, she couldn’t fully retaliate.But it
He didn’t have to pick up the fresh clothes himself, right?Conrad zoomed home with his gray Maybach. He quickly headed up and took out her luggage. He found the photo album.He flipped to the back. The picture of the three of them had disappeared.He held the album tightly as annoyance filled his amber eyes.“What are you up to, Fia?”He couldn’t understand why. He returned to the hospital and didn’t know what to say to Fia.Mrs. Whitley had already finished feeding her and she gave Silas a look.Silas said, “Mr. Maxwell, you seem to have a lot of work lately. Do you want me to take care of the madam in your stead?”“What are you talking about?!” Mrs. Whitley rolled her eyes at her son. “Mr. Maxwell, if you’re busy, let me take care of the madam for you.”That stupid son of hers… How could he be the one to take care of the madam?! Mr. Maxwell might get jealous and think that Silas had something for his wife!Silas only realized it afterward and said, “That’s not what I meant
Conrad quickly headed to the toilet and complained, saying, “We’re husband and wife. I’ve already gotten used to it. Why are you still so embarrassed?’Fia didn’t say anything. But when she was put down in front of the toilet, she placed one hand on the toilet cover and said after taking a breath, “Out. Don’t wait for me here.”Conrad didn’t move at all. “This is not our home and it’s quite slippery. What if you fall?”“…”She refused to move and said painfully, “If you don’t leave, I would rather die!”“Oh, you…” Conrad smiled helplessly and walked out, closing the door.At this time, someone knocked on the door.Conrad didn’t tell the person to come in. He walked over to open the door.A courier in uniform was waiting outside the door.“Excuse me. Mr. Conrad Maxwell?”“Yes.”“I have a document for you.”After signing for the package, Conrad looked at the washroom’s door before walking out and closing the door, ripping open the package.There were pictures of a handsome m
Fia was stunned after being roared at, and her temper worsened as well as she pushed Conrad’s hand away.“I don’t want to talk to you anymore! You become really off-putting when you’re like this!” she said as she buried her face in her bed.Today was his birthday. She had found the opportunity to send out two gifts last evening when he was in his study. She even had Mrs. Whitley walk her out of the mansion and waited for the courier for a while.Maybe because of what had happened today, he wasn’t feeling very happy and he didn’t like those two gifts. Compared to her designs, the two gifts that she sent out weren’t as nice.But even then, there was no need to be angry at her, right?… As Annie had to help a coworker with her workload, she only finished working after working two hours overtime.There were few people in the company at this time.When she was passing by the front desk, the lady at the front desk called out to her. “Miss, you’re from the Foreign Affairs departmen
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
