“Sally.” He used great strength to smile at Sally gently and warmly and rubbed her head gently.“No matter if it's me, or you, or anyone else, we have all grown up and have our own lives. We all have the people we like respectively, we have our own secrets and now, there is no one who can be our role models anymore.“We need to be our own role models. Don’t look to anyone else, also don’t hold too many hopes toward others. That way, we are able to keep true to our initial selves and be ourselves.”Sally’s eyes opened wide, staring at Peter.The tears in her eyes were like pearls falling off a broken string, rolling down from the corner of her eyes like a river flowing, unable to stop no matter what.Peter could not face his little sister who had grown from a little girl into a gentle and kind girl. He pushed aside her hand that was grabbing his sleeve, found an excuse about work, and left hurriedly.Sally leaned against the wall and fell to the ground, her heart suddenly feeling
His mind was echoing the words the doctor said. [When you’re pregnant, the hormones in your body will spike and that will stimulate the growth of your breast, which will cause nodules to become worse.]After drinking the third cup of icy water, the heat in his heart lowered. He took out his phone to search for news regarding nodules at the breast.He saw that some doctors said that most nodules were benign and would not turn malignant. His suspended heart felt a little at ease as he continued to search. He found that pregnancy would cause the pregnant wife to have a bad temper and even some examples of benign nodules becoming malignant, and instantly his heart fell to the pits of the valley.He slammed his phone on the counter hard and his good-looking amber eyes turned gloomy.His heart kept swaying with uncertainty, whether to choose the child or Fia’s health.The pills earlier and other medicine that could help with the nodule could not be eaten! And pregnancy would worsen the
“Conrad, are you treating me like a goddess? Compared to you, I’m not even worth a finger of yours!” Fia acted angry as she spoke.However, she had just finished speaking when she could not help but kiss his face.Conrad’s brows wiggled and he revealed a gentle smile.“Fia, are you taking advantage of me?”Fia tilted her head and leaned back, smiling at him as she asked, “Then, are you tofu?”Conrad was speechless. He made a mistake. How could he be a piece of tofu?“If you are tofu, then you must be the best looking, best tasting tofu!” Fia’s brows curved as she pinched Conrad’s cheeks.Conrad laughed helplessly. “Is there any difference in the looks of tofu? All of them are squares with four corners. What difference would there be?”“I don’t care about that!” She hooked her arms around his neck, looking into his charming amber eyes.“In my eyes, you are the best looking. No matter what you are, you are the best looking!”Conrad lightly squeezed her slender waist. “You too.”
Conrad opened his mouth. “You know everything about Fia’s situation?”“Yeah.” Sally sized up Fia. It had been some time since they met. Her complexion was good and there was no situation where she became weak or skinny. It could be seen that Conrad fed her quite well.Conrad was rarely in a hurry as he immediately asked, “Is it possible to ease her situation?”Sally looked at him. “Let me take a look first before we talk about it.”“I’ll have to trouble you then.” Fia held her hand the whole time.Not knowing why, with just a single gaze she noticed that Sally seemed to have undergone something lately.She was not as lively as she was before. She was a little melancholic and a little restrained.Fia also didn’t know whether or not it was related to what she had mentioned to her about her brother and Britney.Her original intention was for Sally to have her guard up in case she was unable to accept the truth in the future.“Mr. Maxwell, please step out for a bit. I’ll check Fia
Sally stared at Fia, and could see her nervousness and carefulness.“Keep it. If it didn’t come when it did, you wouldn’t have noticed your nodule. This child should be your lucky star.”Fia’s tears started to fall. “Sally, thank you.”“However.” Sally picked up two pieces of tissue and gently wiped Fia’s tears.“It is a blessing but it’s also a disaster. You need to be mentally prepared. If you want to keep the child, you can’t take medicine to treat the nodule and when you are pregnant, the nodule will worsen. When the time comes, your breast might be in frequent pain.”Fia blinked but did not say anything.Sally felt there was a need to make the details clear in order to avoid her having impetuous feelings when she was in pain.“Normal people would feel breast pain during pregnancy and your situation will be worse when the time comes. Are you sure you won’t regret it due to the discomfort?”Fia immediately shook her head. “I won’t regret it!”Sally helped her sit up and con
She said quite sadly, “If my brother really did anything bad, I am unable to judge him.”Fia was in a daze, her mind full of images of an elder brother chasing after a younger sister.She did not have any siblings.When she was young, she saw how female students in the same class were loved by their elder brothers and how they sat behind their brothers on their bikes.While she was alone all by herself. She would feel admiration too.“However, don’t worry. I won’t let things be either.” Sally choked a little. “I just hope that on account of me, you would be merciful toward him. He was really a good person in the past and now, he still remains a good brother to me.”Before Fia regained her senses, Sally held her crying face and left.Fia sat in the living room, a little stunned. Hearing her talk about the relationship she had with her brother made her subconsciously sucked in.If she had such a good brother, a great existence that was the same as a personal belief, she would be
“Really?” Fia was in a panic. Things were more complicated than she expected and they were not as clear cut anymore.Conrad said patiently, “Peter sold off all his villas abroad and gave Sally a bank card. All the money was kept inside.”Fia looked at him in a daze. “What does that mean?”“From my perspective, Peter is taking precautions. He’s worried that once things come to light, Doctor Sally and his parents will not live well. Therefore, he is taking some precautions, saving up a sum of money and giving it to Doctor Sally.”Fia slowly calmed down as she said with a frown, “For him to be selling the villas and giving money to Sally, aren’t these actions equivalent to exposing himself?”When Conrad found out, he also felt that Peter was being careless. However, his instinct told him that Peter was not a simple man. For him to dare to have done so, he must have made other plans.Unless, he overestimated him.“Perhaps he never thought of anyone else being suspicious.” Conrad was
“I didn’t want you to cry.”“I’m not a crybaby. Why’d you think I would cry?”“You really love the Lane twins.” Conrad sighed in dismay. “I was afraid that you might cry when you bid your farewells.”It was true that he did not want Fia to be emotionally affected. Knowing that he had good intentions, Fia did not press on the matter too much. She lightly shoved him to the door. “You go get Mary and Sharon at the entrance. They should be here any minute now.”“Okay.”Thus, Conrad walked to the gates. He was there in time to see Mary and Sharon arriving. Seeing the mother-and-daughter pair, a bodyguard approached them for questioning.Conrad said to the bodyguard, “Let them in.”The bodyguard obliged and opened the gate, allowing the pair to enter. Conrad took a glance at them before turning to the bodyguard. “In the future, if you see these two, you can let them in.”“Yes, sir.”“Come in. Fia’s waiting for you,” Conrad said in a distant yet polite tone to the pair.Mary heard a
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
