“Can’t I pay you a visit?”“Oh, just a sec. I need to give someone a call.”Peter had very good eyesight. Since the screen protector on his sister’s phone wasn’t a privacy screen protector, he saw everything.“He hit my car when he was leaving. He was compensating me.”“He did what?” Sally was stunned before standing up and asking nervously, “Was he hurt?”“We’re both quite slow so we’re fine.” Peter sighed and patted his sister’s head. “Are you stupid?”Sally bit her lips. She then turned around and walked over to a filing cabinet, pretending to be finding some files.“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“It’s fine as long as I know what you’re thinking.” Peter knocked on her desk a few times before asking. “Do you want me to help you?”“Peter!” Sally turned around and looked at him nervously as she stomped. “Don’t interfere with my business!”Peter smiled helplessly and said, “I don’t want to see you running around like a fool.”“To be… To be honest, I don’t like him
Peter felt his heart throbbing in pain as he looked at his sister’s caring eyes.He walked over and hugged her.“You silly girl… Don’t you trust me at all?”“I do,” Sally said pitifully. “You've been my faith since I was little. My light.”She had never been this dutiful when she was little. She was childish too.Especially when she became a normal girl from an affluent background. Because of the sudden change in life, she would always get angry about it.Her beloved brother would teach her to treat everything with a calm heart. It was her brother who made her dare to dream.To become a doctor. To save the wounded. And to continue with a kind heart.She couldn’t imagine what she could do if her brother encountered something while he was overseas and lost his heart.“Don’t worry, Sally. I’m still me. I’ve never changed.”Peter’s eyes somewhat lost focus, but his tone was very firm.He patted her back and sighed. “I didn’t ask him to compensate me. He wanted to. I refused him
“What is it?” Fia felt a bit anxious.After she recovered her eyesight, she didn’t like to close her eyes.“Don’t worry. I won’t make you fall.”Remembering how he had been taking care of her these days, she trusted him and closed her eyes.Conrad quickly opened the door and looked at the bedroom and led her inside, taking a few steps.“You can open your eyes now.”“This is mysterious. What are you doing?” Fia opened her eyes, surprised.The once plain bedroom had become fantastic. Balloons of multiple colors were on the ceiling, as the ribbons tied to them slightly bounced in the air.There were candles on the floor that was littered with petals, forming the shape of a heart.The bed was the color of scarlet and littered with petals of blue roses. The droplets on the petals reflected brilliant lights.Everything… Fia had never dared to dream about something like this in the past.She couldn’t hope for a day like this.But someone secretly did it.No wonder he didn’t let h
Silas, Ford, and Tiger all looked in from outside the door.They saw their boss kissing the madam voraciously.The three of them smiled before asking Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley to stay with them.But the two of them pushed forward and accidentally ran into the door and made a sound.Fia pushed Conrad away, blushing, as she stared at the five of them.She was so embarrassed!She quickly walked over to the washroom.Conrad turned around and looked at the people at the door. “Useless.”Silas knew that he was in a good mood, so he boldly teased him, “Sir, it’s all thanks to us that this room is so romantic!”‘Otherwise, do you think you can get anything like this with that head of yours?’Conrad frowned, worried that Fia would feel that he wasn’t giving his full effort as he asked for help and told them to leave.“Good luck, Mr. Maxwell!” Mrs. Whitley said as she pushed Mrs. Taylor away in her wheelchair. She even pumped her fist at him.Fia’s hands were on the sink as she lo
He led her to the bedside and they both sat down.Fia’s eyes seemed to be glittering. “No one had ever shown me romance like this since I was born.”And this was from the boy she secretly loved for so many years.She was both happy and sad.It was as if she was finally able to see the dawn of a new day after spending so much time living in pain and suffering.“I thought that we were once…”She looked at him, taking back the unfortunate words that she wanted to say.Seeing that their relationship was growing and warming up, and that he liked her, there was no need for her to say anything else.“Thank you, Conrad.”‘Thank you for not letting me completely lose hope.’Conrad held the back of her head and pulled her toward him.Fia’s eyes shook.The man’s warm breath was on her face, and she couldn’t help but shake.“Do you have any wishes, Fia?” His lips kissed her forehead. “Tell me, and I’ll help you make it come true.”Fia raised her head and held the two sides of his shi
The caller was silent. Just as Conrad was about to hang up, a woman’s careful voice came from the other end.“Mr… Mr. Maxwell… Is Fia coming to the hospital?”Conrad looked away. The voice was somewhat familiar, but it wasn’t familiar enough for him to know who the person was immediately.However, seeing that the person was asking about his wife, he asked, “Who are you?”“I’m Britney.”Conrad frowned. “What is it?”“I understood why Fia didn’t like me from Sally now. I want to apologize to her. I won’t wear anything with the scent of peach blossoms anymore.”Conrad suddenly remembered Fia once told him that Esme liked to use hand moisturizers with the scent of peach blossoms.“I called Fia just now, but she didn’t pick it up.”Conrad immediately hung up and quickly ran upstairs.“Fia!”He rushed into the bedroom but was stunned when she saw Fia wearing a pink suit and matching pants.“What is it?” Fia looked at him. He looked like he was worried that something would happen
Fia then got closer to the crabapple flowers and explained to him.“Crabapple flowers… Can you smell the scent?”Conrad sniffed at the crabapple flowers and raised an eyebrow. “It looks nice, but it doesn't have a smell?’“It has, but you’ve got to give it a good sniff. The scent of the crabapple flowers is very faint…”Conrad gave it a good sniff. He could smell a very faint scent. Because it was faint.He suddenly realized that he could identify the scent of crabapple flowers. Because the smell was really faint.However, thanks to his sense of smell, he realized that there was no difference between the scent of chrysanthemum and crabapple.When Fia saw his frown becoming less pronounced, she pulled him to the devil tree flowers.“Give it a smell.”Conrad gave it a sniff. “It’s fragrant.”“How strong is the smell?”“Ahchoo!” Conrad looked awkward. “It’s very fragrant. It tickles my nose.”He looked at the devil tree with disdain. The flowers were so small.Fian said with
Conrad was beaming. “A little bit of spiciness, and some earthy scent.”Fia was confused. “Why does ginger have an earthy scent?”“Oh, you silly girl.” He patted her head and took the ginger from her hand. He then patted the dirt from it.”He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Isn’t this dirt, Fia?”When Fia saw it, she awkwardly said, “You’re right.”Seeing the dirt on her hand, he dragged her to the poolside to wash her hand.Fia looked at his face from the side. Remembering how romantic he was, her heart began to jump again.After he washed her hand, he brought her close to him so that he could help her straighten her shoulder-length hair.“Do you want to stay at home or head out?”Her heart skipped a beat as she stared at him. “For a date?”“Yeah.”She bit her lips and then said expectantly, “Can we not go to the company?”“It’s fine to miss work for a few days,” he said as he poked her forehead.Now that her eyes had recovered it was time to do everything he wanted to do.
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
