Britney said, “It’s alright. I’m used to it.”Barbara asked, “Then are you planning to find an area to continue in research?”“No.” Britney frowned. “I’m a little tired.”“Then, what do you plan to do?”“I still don’t know.”Barbara looked at her melancholic sister. She had grown taller and fuller and became much better looking.To her, her sister was timid and was easily bullied in school.She wanted to protect this little sister of hers.She suggested, “Do you want to give Maxwell Corporation a try?”Britney felt her heart waver, but weakly shook her head.“Maxwell Corporation is so amazing. What would someone like me who does research do there?”“If you don’t mind it, you can be my assistant.” Her previous assistant had resigned and she found it annoying to have an assistant so she did not hire a new one. If her younger sister wanted in, she could directly bring her in.With her current position in the Maxwell Corporation, she could make her own arrangements if she wante
“What do you mean?” Conrad asked.“Should we send Madam Barbara’s sister to another department to avoid any negative effects on Madam Barbara’s reputation?”“Barbara herself isn’t even worried about her own reputation, so what are you worrying for?” Conrad’s attitude was a little heartless. “If work progress is affected by her sister, the both of them can just leave together!”Fia was speechless.Her husband was so stern. She wanted to say something but did not quite dare to.As a wife, she should not meddle too much.Forget it, she’d just listen quietly. Her husband’s words were not wrong.Since Madam Barbara dared to directly hire her sister to be her assistant, then she should have the boldness to bear all the consequences!Therefore, Britney easily entered Maxwell Corporation and became Barbara’s assistant.***In the afternoon, the hour for lunch.Silas went to the canteen to order food for Conrad and Fia, and coincidentally met Barbara leading Britney along.He looked
The matter of Britney entering the company passed just like that and thanks to Barbara, the entire Foreign Affairs Department had a very good attitude toward her and nobody dared to bully or order her about.She arranged work for Barbara properly every day and did not have any free time.Every day when it was lunch time, she would subconsciously search for a figure in the canteen.When she saw Silas, she would greet him obediently.In a blink of an eye, quite a few days passed and Fia was about to sit for her exams.Conrad personally called the Ministry of Education and without expending too much effort, he was able to arrange a chance for Fia to take the exams.Fia wanted to end things fast and so arranged it to be the next day.The Ministry of Education and the dean of her previous university personally invigilated. There were even surveillance cameras, and everything was done properly without any intention for favoritism or cheating.“Silas, what time is it?”Conrad sat out
“Alright!” Sally was quite happy. She had thought that with Conrad’s character, he would not go, and would not have allowed Fia to go as well.After all, going to Jason and Britney’s blind date last time was a situation where she did not tell them in advance.At night, Fia brought up her appointment with Sally the next day.Conrad frowned but thinking that she would get her results tomorrow, in order to ensure she wasn’t too worried, he would accompany her and participate in her gathering, which seemed to work too.***At ten o’clock, Conrad and Fia departed for the restaurant Sally had booked.Sally was already there, and while talking to her brother, she caught a glimpse of the people at the restaurant entrance and immediately went forward to welcome them.“Fia, did your exam go well?”“Results aren’t out yet.”Sally patted her slender arm. “You like designing so much and the drafts you draw are amazing! I’m sure you will be able to get good results!”Fia was a design major
Britney’s gaze was a little cool and seemed to be complaining a bit.Conrad faintly swept her a glance, treating her gaze as just blaming him for spouting nonsense.He had indeed said so on purpose. Who cares about how she was with Peter.He only wanted to quickly find Jason a partner so that he would stop pining for his wife.“Fia.” Britney looked at Fia somewhat fearfully. “Who is he?”Fia gently lifted the corner of her lips. “My husband.”“Oh, oh. Fia’s husband.” Britney seemed to casually ask, “Sally, do you and Jason know Fia’s husband?”“What are you saying?” Peter replied indifferently. “Who in Gryphon dares to not know Mr Maxwell?”Britney secretly bit her lip, like a little lady secretly in love, carefully looking at Peter.Her eyes also seemed to contain a little delight. “Peter, turns out you also know Fia’s husband. Then in the future, we will all be friends.”“Just who is your friend?” Conrad said mercilessly.Fia knew his temper and only smiled apologetically
“No need.” Conrad insisted on personally bringing Fia to the restroom.Britney quietly followed behind the both of them, staring at him holding Fia’s wrist and quietly pinched the palm of her hand.When they reached the ladies, Fia pushed Conrad lightly.“Wait outside.”“Alright, if there’s anything, call me.”Britney immediately went forward. “Fia, let me help you in.”After dealing with their business, and Fia came out, Britney helped her to the sink to wash her hands.“Thank you, Britney.” Thinking of Conrad’s attitude, she apologized. “Don’t take it to heart. He is a person with deep thoughts, so it is hard for him to accept other people’s kind intentions.”“It’s fine. As long as you know that I’m sincere, that’s enough. How he sees it does not matter.” Britney’s tone was light and friendly.After Fia washed her hands, she led her to the hand dryer to dry her hands.After that, she took out her own hand moisturizer and helped her to apply it.Fia smelled the peach blosso
Sally was a little disappointed. “Alright then. We’ll gather again another day.”“Alright.” Thinking of the peach blossom fragrance hand moisturizer, she said, “Sally, can you send us off?”Sally was not a fool either. She could feel that Fia had something to ask her, so she went back to her brother, Jason, and Britney to inform them and then accompanied Fia and her husband out of the restaurant.At the parking lot, Fia pushed Conrad lightly.“I want to drink milk tea. Take a look around and see if there are any milk tea shops nearby and help me get one.”Conrad took a look around and saw that there were two milk tea shops on the opposite side.”Okay. Wait for me here.”He looked at Sally. “Please stay with her.”“I will, Mr. Maxwell.”Hearing his footsteps growing distant, Fia bit her lip and asked. “Sally, I would like to ask you about Britney.”“What about her?” Sally was a little lost. “Did she say something to you in the restroom?”Fia hesitated for a moment. “She’s qui
“I want to wash my hands.”The moment they arrived home, Fia spoke up coldly.Sitting in the car, she smelled the peach blossom fragrance on her hands and felt inexplicably nauseous.Conrad held her hand and took a look. “What’s wrong with your hands?”“I want to wash my hands!” Her voice was a little shrill as she pushed his hand aside and started moving forward.Conrad frowned, taking a step forward and holding her up by the waist.“Alright, let me support you.”***In the washroom, Fia did not just wash her hands. She even took a bath.She soaked herself in the bathtub and made Conrad add a lot of sea salt scent to her bubble bath.She wanted to cover up the peach blossom fragrance lingering in her nostrils.“Fia, you should get out now.”Conrad returned to the bathroom from the study. An hour had already passed and she still did not plan to get out.“Do you smell it?” Fia spoke faintly.Conrad subconsciously sniffed about. “What?”“Peach blossom fragrance.” Her smile
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
