Fia became silent.After this, she realized that she really couldn’t take good care of a child.Originally, Conrad didn’t want to continue this conversation to prevent her from being sad.“Doctor Sally, you’re doing well with Jason lately, aren’t you?”Sally looked at Conrad speechlessly. Was he trying to remind her? That because he was too brutal in the first place he gave a chance for her to be with Jason alone?She stayed in Jason’s office for a week! It was a very rare chance for her, and she felt very happy at the beginning. But… Jason did nothing to her.And that was quite heart-wrenching.She didn’t know if she was really that well.“Mr. Maxwell, your company is so big and there are so many female staff there… Are you happy interacting with them?”Fia was speechless.She felt that the two were starting to fight.“You don’t know just how to be grateful at all!”“You should worry about yourself, Mr. Maxwell. One day, you’ll get into trouble yourself too!” Sally was r
“Barbara is a very tough woman and I really admire her! She got married because she wanted to and got a divorce because she wanted to! She is someone very independent, and even her family had no choice but to let her do whatever she wants,” Sally said as if she was inspired.As a woman, they all wished they could have that kind of personality.Fia instinctively said, “Madam Barbara is quite the strong woman. She could still live that well after her divorce… She must have been hurt a lot.”Sally sighed and said, “I know, right? I heard my mom say that her mother-in-law was quite tough to deal with. Since she didn’t have any children after a few years, she didn’t feel compelled to stay. So she left.”Fia knew from Conrad that Barbara was Annie’s previous stepmother. While she was curious about the relationship between Barbara and the Parkers, she didn’t continue asking about it.“I heard from my mom that Barbara’s sister is quite timid,” Sally said as she led Fia into the restaurant
Briney lowered her head and smiled embarrassingly. “For my dreams.”Sally remembered how Britney would always run around after her older brother, but he always ignored her.She didn’t want to think too much about it and quickly introduced Fia who was next to her. “This is Fia. A friend of both Jason and I.”Britney looked at Fia carefully before extending her hand.“Nice to meet you, Fia. My name’s Britney.”Her voice was slightly lowered, making her feel like a timid girl even more.Fia looked at the blurred image in front of her and smiled.“Hello.”The two of them held hands. She held her hand lightly, and she looked nice too.Britney could see that Fia had bad eyesight and so she pulled a chair out for her caringly.“Have… Have a seat,” she said with her face blushing. She didn’t dare look at Fia anymore after glancing twice.Sally saw everything and just like how she was as a kid, she had a good impression of her.Jason didn’t make any sudden movements and used hot wat
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know,” Britney said as if she said the wrong thing. “Maybe I’ll talk about this to my parents, so that your parents won’t force you anymore.”Jason looked at Britney in surprise.“What are you going to say?”Britney shrugged and said, “Just that you’re not my type.”Jason sighed in relief and said, “Thanks. But it’s me that is not a match for you.”“Of course not. You’re a good man, Jason!” Britney let out a silly smile. “Then let’s forget that this is a blind date that our parents had set up and treat this as just a get-together between friends.”She was being so careful, worried that the other three would reject her.Sally looked at how she was acting and quickly said, “I know you a long time ago and treat you like a younger sister. My friend is your friend.”Britney was excited and looked at Fia with her face red.“Then… Fia…”Fia smiled gently. Since she couldn’t see her face, the only impression she had was that she was a careful, understanding, and
Britney shook her head a little sadly. "I even contacted him before I came back. He didn't tell me anything."Sally felt empathetic and said comfortingly, "My brother has always been busy with work, and he's a little slow. But the fact that he returned this time means that you two are still meant to be.""Really?" Britney sighed despondently. "I wouldn't dare think so, Sally. When will Peter be back?""In another week.""In another week, huh? If he tells me, then I'll wait for him and come back with him." Britney sounded a little happy, but there was also a hint of disappointment.Sally thought about Britney's obsession with her brother and couldn't help but say, "When my brother comes back, I'll invite you to have dinner with us.""Okay!"Fia heard Sally wanting to set up Peter and Britney and was curious about what kind of person Sally's brother would be.Sally was gentle and kind, so her brother should be the same."Fia! Once my brother is back, I'll introduce you two!"
Fia asked worriedly, "What was it? If you can't get past it, perhaps you can tell me about it, and I can help you think of something."Britney took Fia's hand and smiled warmly at her, but there was a trace of coldness in her eyes."Fia, do you think there are men in this world who are sincere?""Britney, have you been hurt?" Fia asked, looking sideways at the girl and she wished she could see her expression clearly."Yeah, I've been hurt," Britney said, looking into Fia's eyes as she started telling the real Britney's story to ensure her act was perfect."Our family was close to the Halls, and I followed Peter around as a kid. I also went abroad after middle school for him. Although he treated me like a sister, he wasn't really good to me. He knew I had feelings for him, but he never responded to them.""Maybe it's because his mind is always on his work," Fia said, trying to understand where Britney was going with this.Britney sighed and laughed bitterly. "Let's not talk about
Conrad had been checking his phone frequently. When he saw that Tiger had sent him a photo, he opened it and zoomed into it without much thought.He zoomed in on Fia, wanting to get a good look at her from the back and guess how she was feeling at the moment. He saw a gentle, soft smile on her face, and then he moved the photo a little before catching sight of Britney.Conrad suddenly frowned deeply, and he quickly expanded the photo further, enlarging Britney's face."Silas!""What is it, Mr. Maxwell?" Silas replied immediately, startled by Conrad's sudden shout."Come and look at this!"Silas went to Conrad's side and looked. "Who is this?"She was unfamiliar, and Silas didn't know who it was!Why was Conrad showing him this woman?"I don't know!" Conrad felt an indescribable panic well up inside him, and he dialed Tiger's number. "Sir," Tiger greeted when he picked up."Who is that woman?"Tiger glanced at Britney and replied, "She's the Thomases' second daughter. She h
Conrad looked up to see Tiger carrying Fia in, and he immediately rushed forward to take her into his arms before placing her on the couch.Tiger left quietly and closed the door behind him.Fia sensed that something was wrong with Conrad, and she reached out to touch his face and pinch it."It feels like you're in a bad mood."Conrad thought about Britney, and he couldn't help but ask, "Who was that person Doctor Sally brought you to see today?"Fia's heart skipped a beat. When she thought about how Tiger had followed her around the entire day, Fia thought Conrad was unhappy because she had seen Jason.She hurriedly told the story of Jason and Britney's parents matching the two up."Oh?" Conrad asked with a raised brow. "So, did those two see eye to eye?""No?""They didn't catch each other's eyes?" Conrad was a little unhappy at the answer. He wondered when a woman would come along to take Jason away."Britney has someone on her mind, and her family forced this blind date
