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
“You don’t know?” Fia laughed lightly. “When she came of age, you gave her a set of peach blossom scented skin care products, and on the packaging were huge pink peach blossoms.“You say you don’t know?”This lie was not the least bit perfect.Conrad was slightly stunned and then at a loss.“I didn’t.”Fia was instantly angered and pushed away his hand, wanting to get off the chair.She lost her balance and just as she was about to fall, Conrad scooped her back into his arms.“Let me help you dry your hair.”His voice was gentle, instantly suppressing Fia’s anger.She was like a puppet as she let him dry her hair.After drying her hair, he picked her up and walked over to the bedroom’s big bed and said, “You should have your afternoon nap now.”After a sleep, her mood should be a little better.The moment Fia hit the bed, she turned around and lay on her tummy.Conrad stared at the back of her head, feeling that she was in a very bad mood.After hesitating, he sat down on
“Why didn’t you call her? She was already your girlfriend then.”Conrad himself was a little silly and suddenly understood that his first love experience wasn’t quite as passionate.It was not like how things were with Fia now. Just half a day without her message and he would feel uncomfortable all over.And after he had confirmed his relationship with Esme, he never seemed to have taken the initiative to contact her.“Perhaps… to me, I never saw her as my girlfriend?”He looked at Fia and asked in a seemingly lost manner.Fia frowned so hard that her forehead was about to be knitted up.How could there be such a ridiculous matter?Conrad pressed on her frown. “About the matter of her gift during her coming of age, I’ll get Silas to check it out.”“Check what?” Fia was a little stunned.“I didn’t give it to her. She lied. I also did not know that she liked peach blossoms.”He frowned and tried very hard to explain, “Fia, I find it very hard to differentiate the scent of the
“They’re just some stupid papers. Why bother?” Victor tore the document to pieces.Conrad stared at Victor’s face intensely, trying to find a hint of anxiety on the man’s face.He had a hunch.“Were you the one who impersonated me and sent Esme a gift during her coming-of-age ceremony?”Victor shrugged. “What? That’s like years ago. What’s there to talk about? Besides, that woman’s gone now.”Fia was speechless upon hearing that. This man must have done a lot of unspeakable things behind everyone’s backs.Conrad did not want to waste any more time with his despicable cousin. He put a hand on Fia’s shoulder, pulling her close to him.“Do you believe me now?”Fia was stunned and did not know how to respond to that, feeling embarrassed all a sudden.“Let’s go take a nap.” Conrad kneeled down and carefully carried her with his strong arms.Victor, seeing the couple walking back in, asked impatiently, “How’s Eileen?”“None of your business,” Fia responded coldly as she hugged Con
...All she could do was draw a sketch of a design for him.Yet, the designs that came out of this examination were beyond fantastic.Conrad felt fortunate to have uncovered her talent early. If not, there would be so many men fighting viciously just to get her.Fia, feeling itchy from all his sweet nothings, lightly pushed him away. “Then, what about my certificate? I have graduated, haven’t I?”“It’s right here.” Conrad took a laminated document from the bedside table and handed it to her. “Have a look.”Fia sat up as she held her graduation certificate in her hands. She put it near her face, almost as if she wanted to glue it onto her face.Even though she could only see a tiny bit of it, she was already beyond satisfied and happy.After so many years of regret, she was now finally a graduate! A graduate from a college!Conrad looked at his wife ogling at her certificate. He thought it was because she could not see so she had to stick it to her face to feel it. Seeing this,
