Chapter 594

Author: Stellar Strands
“Conrad!” Fia walked out of the bathroom and seeing that the bedroom was empty, she shouted in panic.

“Fia, I’m here.” Conrad’s gaze was complicated as he entered the bedroom from the balcony.

The panic on Fia’s face disappeared as a smile was revealed.

“I thought you did not wait for me.”

Conrad remained calm and went forward to hold her hand.

“I have always been waiting for you. I just went to the balcony to make a call.”

Fia nodded, deeply feeling that her loss of composure earlier on was a little shameful and she even looked down a little on herself.

She wasn’t like this in the past.

Conrad held her hand tightly and said comfortingly, “I’ve said before that I want to manage this marriage with you properly. Properly pass the days by with you. I wouldn’t lie to you.”

Fia didn’t speak. When they had just gotten married, he treated her well, but never promised her a lifetime.

After the matter with Esme, he had made the promise many times.

However, she still could not always

    “Fia.”“Yeah?”“In the company, don’t leave my office.”“Have I not always stayed in your office?”Conrad was worried that he did not make himself clear and said, “Don’t go to the Foreign Affairs Department. If there is any need to be in touch with them, let Silas handle it.”Fia frowned. “Alright, I got it.”The three women in the Foreign Affairs Department—who else would she think of but Barbara and Britney, the two sisters, and Annie.The three of them were gathered together and things were bound to be “interesting”. She had no desire to go to the Foreign Affairs Department to provoke them.However, sometimes just because you didn’t seek out the other party, it didn’t mean that troublesome people would not come running to you on their own.On the highest floor, the moment Conrad held Fia and walked out the elevator, they saw Barbara.“Mr. Maxwell, Mrs. Maxwell.” Barbara’s tone was cold and carried a high pitch, with the intent of blaming them for some wrong.Conrad turned

    “Why not? You are about the same age. And you seem to be so alike.” Barbara did not understand why Fia said this.Fia could not help but think that Barbara, although being quite capable in her career, was a little slow in catching social cues and contexts.Thus, Fia decided to tell her frankly. “She and I do not see eye to eye. It’s not possible for us to be friends.”From the moment Britney applied that peach blossom hand moisturizer on her, Fia had a feeling that this friendship was never going to work. From that moment, Fia already felt that something was off about this Britney girl. Then, when she could finally see again, the moment she saw Britney, that hunch that something was fishy about her became even stronger.It was weird indeed, for Britney seemed to be a really kind and gentle young lady. Yet, her hunch was telling her that something was definitely not right.“Was it because of Annie?” Barbara was a little upset upon hearing this. “It was Annie who had fallen for Mr.

    Britney selected a few documents that required contact with Conrad. She then picked up the phone that Barbara left her, so that she could handle her work without issue, and searched for Conrad in the messenger app. It did not take long for her to find him as Barbara’s recent work put him at the top of the chat.Most of the communication exchanges were document uploads. They rarely talk on the messenger, and even if they did, they would only talk about work.Britney eagerly stared at the “Mr. Maxwell” account in the chat, then with a touch she entered to see his recent online activities.It was like in the past. There was no hint of activity on his social media. Britney was overjoyed to see this. There was no sign of Fia at all on his social media. That meant that he did not care for his wife at all. In fact, if he did not care for her, that would also mean he did not love her!She was now quite certain that Conrad only treated Fia like a sister. All his concern for her was purely

    Britney, unable to hold back her excitement, raised her head to look at Conrad before shyly lowered her head to look away.“My sister is a very hardworking and capable woman. I can’t let her down.”“As expected from Barbara’s sister.” Conrad responded coldly before picking up his documents and leaving.There was no praise. There was no sign of anger either.Britney was dumbfounded as she stood there, not understanding what Conrad meant. Suddenly, Conrad stepped back into the meeting room and glared at the woman.“Miss Thomas.”Britney’s eyes beamed as she responded, “Yes, sir?”Conrad smirked at her coldly. His good looks would probably make one mistake him for being in a good mood at the moment.“Tomorrow night, there’s a business party. Would you care to join?”Britney replied eagerly, “Yes, of course!”“8 PM. I’ll head to the Thomas residence to get you.”“Understood, sir. I’ll definitely not let you down!”Conrad walked away as his face turned grim. He wanted to see j

    Fia began moaning in his arms, overwhelmed by his burning passion.Conrad let go of the poor girl’s slightly swollen lips and whispered in her ear.“Fia, it’s like you’ve put a spell on me.”“…No, I did not.”“You did.” He lightly bit her earlobe. “I’ve never lost control like this to anyone before.”After their first love-making session on their wedding night, it was like she had unlocked a cursed seal from within his heart.Back then, he did not have this kind of passionate urge for Esme. Yet, when it came to Fia, Conrad always wanted to pull her into his embrace. He thought it was because she was his first woman. So, this resulted in him having some physical obsession over her.However, he was wrong.Perhaps he was already attracted to her from a long time ago.This poor girl was always tailing behind him sheepishly. Her smile was stunningly exquisite. Yet, she did not smile as often as she should.Sometimes, when she was playing with Esme when they were children, Fia wa

    Fia felt Conrad’s embrace tighten so much that she almost could not breathe. She also worried that she would forget his suggestion earlier, so she tapped on his hand. “Let me go for now, alright? I’ll need to make improvements on my designs.”Conrad took a glance at his watch and let her go. “You can do that after we have lunch.”“No can do! Inspiration waits for no one. If I do it later, it’ll slip away!”Conrad grabbed her wrist and sighed. “Or I’ll help you improve it after lunch. Will that do?”Fia’s heart began to beat excitedly as she looked at Conrad’s loving and thoughtful eyes. She felt she could trust this man’s skill and ability on working on her work wholeheartedly now.“But… you still have work to do.”“A few sketches wouldn’t take too much of my time.” Conrad sat up and leaned forward, onto Fia’s back. “Fia, you’re not thinking of shoving me away now, are you?”Rosy blush began to redden Fia’s ears, then her face, and then her neck.“Conrad… are you purposely te

    Annie agreed, “Yeah, usually it’s very noisy here because there is always a crowd.”It felt like there was someone important visiting the place, making it difficult for everyone to chat their hearts away.The two girls curiously walked into the canteen. As they walked past numerous inquisitive and scared eyes, they finally saw the couple sitting by the window near the counter.The stunningly good-looking couple were chatting as they took their meals.The man who was usually as cold as an iceberg was now smiling warmly, as though he was baptized by rays of sunshine.“Is… Is that Mr. Maxwell?” Annie asked hesitantly.Britney was also shocked to see this. It was as though she had seen a ghost!She could not believe what she saw. Yet, she could not deny the reality that was happening right before her eyes.She had never seen Conrad smile so warmly when they were together a few years ago. After her “death”, Conrad had treated Fia even better! Just what on earth happened?!No, she c

    When they returned to his office, Conrad sat down with Fia to work on her designs, as promised. After finishing working on three designs, a happy smile appeared on Fia’s face.“I’m planning to add them into my grandma's project. Do you think it’ll work?”There was a glint of sorrow in Conrad’s eyes. “You don’t want to work with me?”Fia squinted and hugged Conrad’s arm.“But you do like my grandma's project, don’t you?”Conrad’s Adam’s apple bobbed when he heard this. He could not help but to recall their grandparents’ relationship.And her grandmother… Thea Lawson’s death was his fault because he insisted on robbing that project from her hands via a legal loophole, and it angered her so much she passed away soon after.He did not have the courage to tell Fia the entire story.“Conrad, I want to thank you.” Fia looked at him innocently, “This project was Grandma's gift to Grandpa Maxwell. And yet, Grandma wanted to take it away from the Maxwells because of me.”“Fia, let’s not

    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
