“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.
