“It’s nothing important, but I can’t wait anymore!” Fia smiled brightly.While Conrad had a bad feeling about it, he couldn’t refuse her.“I want to apply for a leave this afternoon. I want to take them out to have fun.”Fia was all smiles. Even when Conrad didn’t want to, he couldn’t refuse.“Let Tiger come along.”“Sure!”As the Lanes hadn’t had lunch yet when they came over from Oceania, Conrad ordered a tableful of Gryphon’s local delicacies.However, Conrad didn’t eat much as he accompanied the Lanes.Because of the two children, Conrad lost the chance to sit next to Fia. They both took the seats on either side of her.Fia was overjoyed as the children surrounded her and called her pretty, busy deshelling the prawns for them.When Mary saw what was happening, she felt apologetic.“Don’t let them get used to it, Fia. They can eat on their own.”“It’s fine. I’m not that hungry anyway. I don’t mind doing it since I have the time.”Conrad would glance at her occasionally.
“She and I…” Conrad was feeling somewhat melancholic. He felt that they had already experienced enough.He didn’t want to experience any of it anymore.However, it seemed like there was a pair of hands behind the curtains that kept on pulling the strings and starting problems for them.He needed to find the owners of those hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, he and Fia could never have a peaceful life.“Conrad, the environment isn’t the most important thing in this case. Your hearts must stand united. You can face and solve any problems that way.”Conrad unbuttoned his collar and said, “Fine, let’s not talk about our private lives. Let’s talk about work.”“Sure.”“Pretty lady, where are you taking us?” Sharon asked in her childish voice.Fia held her chin and gave it a thought before kneeling down.“What do you want to play, Sharon? William?”“I want to go to the amusement park!” With that, Sharon then looked at her mother worryingly.Mary was speechless. “Why are you look
Fia brought Sharon to quite a number of rides in about an hour.Mary asked Tiger to explain what happened between Conrad and Fia.After she heard it all, her brows were locked together tightly.“Your boss really is quite undependable.”“It’s not that he’s undependable. He’s forced by his grandfather at the time of the marriage. He’s innocent too.”“No matter how innocent he is, he’s still enjoying life better than Fia!” Mary was angry. While Tyler was also quite the playboy when she met him, once their relationship had been confirmed, he was loyal toward her and didn’t start any problems afterward. Meanwhile, someone that looked so cold like Conrad was the one that was problematic after his marriage. She never would have thought that he had another lover after his marriage, and he even wanted a divorce because of said lover!“Mrs. Lane, the only reason I told you this is because you care about my madam. However, it’s not for you to talk about my boss like that!” Tiger said with a
Fia lowered her eyes and didn’t say a word as she looked at the ground.She already felt it. She didn’t hate it, but she was simply helpless. There was nothing much she could do.“I heard from Tiger that you didn’t get married because of love. I’m worried that Conrad wouldn’t be able to control himself if he was seduced by too many things.” Mary slowed down before continuing, “Fia, you sure there’s love between the two of you?”Fia raised her eyes and looked at her without a word.“I hope you won’t mind me saying this. I can tell that you really like Conrad. I’m worried that you’ll suffer.”“Mrs. Lane, I can’t just run away because I’m afraid that he’ll leave me in the future, right?” Fia said with a smile. However, it was a smile that wasn’t from her heart.She had been trying to ignore the worry in her heart.However, there were always people trying to remind her.Mary understood what she was trying to say and said awkwardly, “I’m not trying to start a fight between you two,
“Tyler, you and I are on the same journey now,” Conrad said with a dark expression.Tyler smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry.”What was he thinking? Conrad was the one who saved him all those years ago.“Stop smiling like an idiot,” Conrad said in disdain.“Yes, yes, I’m a fool. I didn’t realize that you’re trying to help me,” Tyler said excitedly as he stood up rubbing his hands. “Then you should make the arrangements to send William to that Hellish Training Camp of yours.”Conrad didn’t move and said with an icy expression, “I have to make it clear first. Other than the nutrition side of things, there will also be some physical training. Once he’s in the camp, he’s no longer the scion of the Lane household. It’s going to be very tough.”Tyler frowned. While he knew that Conrad wouldn’t lie to him and that his son wouldn’t be in any danger, he was worried that his wife wouldn’t allow it.“I’ll talk with Mary about it later tonight.”“No rush,” Conrad said as he finished his coffee.
Fia jumped off the pedicab and was going to take the two children off the back.“Madam, watch out!” Tiger’s powerful voice boomed.Fia’s heart tightened, and she turned around to scan what was happening. She noticed a toy motorcycle heading straight toward her.It was as big as an adult’s motorcycle. While the ones in the amusement park were usually meant for adults accompanying their children, it would still be quite dangerous if they ran into someone.“Watch out!” Mary cried out in shock.Fia measured the distance with her eyes. If she were to jump off to the side, she should still be able to avoid it, but the two children would be in danger.“Madam! Move!” Tiger only cared about his boss’ wife and no one else.He couldn’t understand how she could maintain her innocence after she had suffered so much.Fia held the two children, turned around, and was going to jump to the side.However, two five-year-old children weighed around seventy pounds. She was too slow, and that motor
“We’re sorry. We’re so sorry. We didn’t realize that an accident like this could happen.” The manager of the amusement park and the staff apologized.“We’re going to report to our boss about this and fully compensate you.”Conrad’s expression was both cold and violent. Tyler said angrily, “You shouldn’t operate an amusement park if you can’t even maintain the visitors’ safety!”Conrad then walked away with Fia in his arms. “Tiger, tell Silas to immediately acquire the amusement park and fire all the staff!”“Yes, sir!” Tiger quickly called Silas and then investigated that toy motorbike.The manager looked at Conrad and recognized him as the boss of the biggest company in Gryphon.He instantly knew that they were done for and quickly called his boss.Fia turned around and glanced at the manager. She shook Conrad’s arm.“Anyone can encounter an accident. Why don’t we give him another chance?”Conrad looked at her with mixed feelings and patted her head. “Fia, don’t get soft-hear
“Pfft!” Tyler let out a laugh thanks to her joke. “That’s right, Mary. Conrad is someone from the upper class. As his wife, she’s also someone rich and pretty. You don’t have to feel pity for her. She has a much better life than a lot of people!”Mary awkwardly nodded but still looked at Fia with motherly love.Fia shook her head helplessly and then looked at Sharon and William, who were drinking the takeaway.“Is it nice?”The two children happily nodded. They liked her even more!Not only did they like her, but they also trusted her!“Pretty lady, where do you live?” Sharon asked with a bright smile.“Why? You want to be my daughter?”“Sure, but I already have my own daddy and mommy.” Sharon looked at Conrad’s dark expression and then waved at Fia.Fia walked over and then got closer.“Pretty lady… Is it okay if you become my brother’s and my godmother?”“Sure!” Fia smiled happily. However, she then looked at Tyler and Mary worriedly.“Can I become your children’s godmoth
