Sally quickly left Britney and chased after Fia.As Fia continued to walk down the corridor, her mind never stopped working. She had intentionally mentioned chrysanthemums.Esme never liked chrysanthemums.She was testing Britney.And the result was making her even more perplexed. If her love for the peach blossom scent was a coincidence, would her dislike of the chrysanthemum flower be a coincidence as well?How could a dead person reappear again?Fia shook her head and decided to temporarily stop thinking about them.“Fia!” Sally caught up with her. “Why did you intentionally provoke Britney just now?”Fia glanced at Sally and asked, “Why did you pretend not to know me in there just now, Sally?”“I’m sorry,” Sally said awkwardly. “My family has a good relationship with the Thomas family. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas have a bad temper. I’m worried that if I show our good relationship, they will become even more opinionated and would even double down on you.”“Madam Barbara’s parents
“Britney is a good person,” Sally said as she was worried by the development. Britney was like a little sister to her. While she hadn’t known Fia that long, they were the same to her.“Sally, I know what you’re thinking. But when it comes to friends… One’s feelings are very important,” Fia said as she held Sally's hand. “There’s something I want to ask you.”Sally nodded gently. “Ask away.”“Sally, you are sure that Britney likes your brother?”“Of course!” Sally said firmly. “My parents know about it too.”Fia bit her lips. She believed that she needed to remind Sally then.“Sally, maybe Britney is different now.”“Are you saying that she doesn’t like my brother? Impossible! Ever since my brother came back, she had been going to our house!”Sally said with a firm expression on her face.Fia was confused too. Could it be that the pictures were taken out of context? Angles? Or maybe the eyes and expression were photoshopped?She then grabbed her purse and took out her phone, a
Conrad looked at Fia with half-lidded eyes. "Did you hate me when we were younger?" he asked.Fia snorted and turned away. "You were so arrogant back then, didn't you know?""I..." Conrad furrowed his brows and coughed."What's wrong with you?" Fia said, not able to put up the pretense anymore. She stood and bent down to look at him, patting his chest gently to help him breathe.Conrad gripped her hand and said, "Fia, if I could do it all over again, I would have been nicer to you when we were children."Fia's eyes flickered. Would she have fallen more in love with him if he had done that? Sometimes, things that seemed good may not necessarily be so, and things that seemed bad may not be necessarily bad.Everything had two sides to it."Let's stop talking about the past or what could have been, okay? What we have now is good," Fia said wistfully as she held him and pinched his cheeks before scolding, "I thought you promised to stop drinking. Why did you drink so much? Also, wh
"As his wife, you can't underestimate things like stomach ulcers and gastric! Even if it's treated, you still have to be careful in the future or he will relapse!""Thank you, Doctor," Fia said. "I'll keep an eye on him.""Well, men are inevitably too busy with work and neglect their health. As his wife, you need to watch him more. Don't add pressure on him. It will also affect his condition if he's in a bad mood."Fia thanked the doctor again and took the prescription he gave her before walking out of his office.Outside the door, Tiger stood in the hallway. When he saw her come out, he immediately asked, "How is the boss's condition?"Fia pursed her lips and said, "When you go out with him in the future, don't let him drink or smoke. You need to pay attention to his diet too."Fia's expression was slightly downcast. "If he doesn't listen to you, just call me."Tiger nodded quickly. "Is there anything else?"She handed him the prescription with a pained look and said, "Get the
"She repulses me!" Conrad said with a deep frown.Fia was stunned."I don't know why, but every time I see her doing something, I feel like she has a motive behind it!""She..." Fia was afraid that Conrad was only saying these things to comfort her. "She did take a knife for you...""She didn't have to. I could have avoided it myself. Even if I couldn't, I don't need her to rush over to protect me!" Conrad exclaimed, looking disgusted.Fia stared at him in surprise."Fia, I'm not lying to you," Conrad said as he held her face and kissed her softly on her lips."I'm telling you the truth."He was worried that Britney would say something absurd in front of Fia, which would cause misunderstandings between them as a couple.So, he had to make it clear before anything like that happened.Fia pursed her lips and asked, "Why do you feel repulsed when you look at her? Does seeing her remind you of someone?"Conrad's brows deepened further. For a moment, he didn't dare to be complete
The next day, Conrad woke up to see a message from Hellish Training Camp on his phone. The message would automatically disappear after three minutes once it was read.His brows furrowed deeply as he read the message, and his expression darkened. Hellish Training Camp had refused him, which meant that one of them had refused, or perhaps even both of them!He had never met the other two from Hellish Training Camp, as he had joined after the two had been promoted. "Are you awake?" Fia asked when she returned to the ward after washing up and seeing his unpleasant look. She asked in concern, "Are you feeling alright? Does your stomach hurt?"Conrad snapped out of his daze and replied, "No. I'm fine.""You have two kinds of medicine that have to be taken on an empty stomach. Take them before you wash up," Fia said as she poured him a glass of water.She picked up the pills and glass and handed them to Conrad. "Here, take them quickly."Conrad sat up and accepted the items from her,
Conrad couldn't even tell, and he had been involved in the situation, yet Silas, who was an outsider, could?"I know you have deep feelings for Sir, but since he's involved in the situation, he couldn't understand."Fia frowned and instinctively retorted, "My feelings for him aren't what you think they are. At first, I only respected him as an elder sibling. But when two people come together, they can't remain as a resentful couple, so I convinced myself."Silas was silent. Fine. She wouldn't admit it! Anyway, he had long ago figured out that Fia liked Conrad and had thought so shortly after the two married. Because Conrad had mistreated Fia in matters of the heart and because Fia didn't want to be exposed, he remained silent."I'm going to sleep for a bit," Fia said. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, not wanting Silas to say anything else that would scare her.Fia never thought telling Conrad about her secret love for him all these years would bring her the happiness sh
Fia held her cup of coffee and blew on it before taking a sip.She smiled at Barbara, who was surprised. “To me, drinking coffee is drinking coffee, not sugar and milk.”“It’s too bitter!” Thinking about the taste was enough to make Barbara frown. “Life is already bitter enough. Why not give yourself a little sweetness?”“I like bitter gourd,” Fia mindlessly replied. “However, it is because bitter gourd is in essence bitter, it is not that I am finding bitterness for myself.”Barbara looked at Fia in surprise, understanding what her seemingly mindless words hinted at.“Madam Barbara, do you understand your sister very well?”“In the past, yes.” Barbara’s gaze lowered as she blew at her own coffee and drank a mouthful.“I am not a person who likes to beat around the bush. My sister was indeed not quite the same yesterday.”Fia put down her cup of coffee and crossed her legs.“Then you should already know about last night’s gathering, don’t you?”“Yes.”“Then you have also see
