Eileen had not had her phone for a long time. Today she learned fast and well, so her teacher rewarded her with ten minutes of screen time on her phone.She hugged her phone and squatted down in the corner. She switched it on and opened WhatsApp.Quite a few people sent messages, especially about work matters, from her colleagues in the country. And some from famous superstars, models, and other people as well.However, she did not wish to reply to those people.They were all just bombarding her with questions of where she went, what she did, whether she had offended anyone, and whether she was being shelved.All of them were casual acquaintances and she did not have much feelings toward them.She found “Fia” and clicked on it to read the message Fia sent.She wanted to make a call, but counting the time difference, it was already quite late and Fia would probably
“Sure.” Marcus quite admired those who could speak out on their own. Among the patients he treated, most of them relied on his hypnosis to be able to express the secrets in the bottom of their hearts.***Conrad couldn’t sit still and kept looking at the door of the study on the first floor, ready to take action any moment.As long as there were any large movements, he would be able to hear it and immediately rush over.Instead, an hour went by and the door of the study opened. Marcus walked out with a diary.“Mr. Maxwell, we are done for today. You may go to Mrs. Maxwell.”“How is she?” Conrad asked and ran in.Marcus shook his head and went to the kitchen to make food for himself.In the study.Fia sat on the sofa, staring into space without any expression on.“Fia?” Conrad did not dare to directly go forward and touch her, afraid of scaring her.Fia slowly raised her head to look at him, the corner of her lips lifted.“You’re here? Where did you come from?”Conrad felt
Fia was disturbed by the memories in her heart but slowly felt at peace because of Conrad’s words.Conrad asked gently, “Shall we go home?”“Alright.” She stretched out her hand. “However, I’m very tired. I can’t walk.”All the bad things were dug out and told to Marcus, that psychiatrist. To her, the person involved, it was kind of a cruelty. She really felt very tired.Conrad knelt before her. “Come, come on up. I’ll carry you home.”Fia did not bother to be courteous and climbed onto his back and said listlessly, “You have to carry me more steadily. Don’t drop me.”“Alright.” Conrad held her hips with both hands and every step he took was very stable.“Wait.” Marcus rushed to the door. “Use this. When you go back home, light one up each day. It would be better for her to soothe her mind.”As Conrad was holding her hips with both of his hands, he did not have a free hand.Fia accepted the thing that was tightly wrapped and asked, “What’s this?”“You’re pregnant. It’s not su
“Yeah. I just called Tyler. It is indeed like that.” Conrad’s emotions were heavy.He was worried about the nodules on her body. She lost control of her emotions easily and she was carrying identical twins.As a father, he had it easy, but as a mother, the entire pregnancy period would be even harder.“It’s fine,” Fia said shakily. “I can ask Mary. She has been through it and will share with me her experiences. Our babies will be born safe and sound.”Her tears fell. Although she encouraged herself through her words, her heart was in a mess.When Mary got pregnant, her situation was much better than hers.Now, her mammary glands had problems and her emotions also had problems. On top of that, she had enemies hiding in the dark gunning for her.“Conrad.” She hugged Conrad. “Promise me. This time my children will be fine! Nothing bad will happen!”“Alright.” Conrad hugged her. “Even if I have to give up my life, I will protect all of you.”“I believe you.” Fia kissed the vein on
Esme did not dare to provoke him at this moment and nodded to say, “I got it. I will cooperate with you.”“Stay in the hospital. I’ll be taking a trip.” Peter turned to leave.Esme sat on the ground in a daze for a couple of minutes. Peter was a madman! After being humiliated by Conrad once, he could not keep his cool. She could not continue to be entangled with him!She needed to find a way to deal with Peter!She must think of a way!She stood up and switched on her phone under her pillow. After hesitating for a bit, she made a call.Conrad had just coaxed Fia to sleep and gone to the study to work when his phone suddenly rang.It was a local unknown number.After picking up, he said faintly, “Hello.”On the other end, a soft sound rang out. “Mr. Maxwell, don’t hang up first. I have something important to tell you. Peter wants to harm Fia!”Conrad put his phone to his ear. “Speak clearly.”“He is a psychopath. He can’t accept being humiliated by others. For the both of you
Fia felt that if she changed her number and without the anonymous messages, the enemy would disappear. She would feel even more uneasy.“Fia, let’s change to a new number, alright?” Conrad asked gently.“Alright, let’s get it changed. However, don’t cancel this number, let Sophia use it,” Fia explained. “Perhaps one day the person would be exposed. All of these are clues.”Conrad thought about it for a bit. “Alright.”“What about Sophia?” Fia asked.“You want to see her?” Conrad frowned. Sophia was punished and if she were to come over now, he was afraid that Fia would get angry when she saw it.“Yeah. I want to see her. I want to talk to her. Go and busy yourself with work. The company’s situation isn’t too great now, is it?” Fia had seen all those rumors online.They did not stop and Maxwell Corporation’s stocks were going down. All of these were very dangerous matters.Conrad nodded. “Alright. I’ll get Sophia over.”“Go to the company. Don’t stay at home. At this moment, ev
Sophia felt like her heart was being stuffed with glass, feeling a dull pain.She was an orphan and grew up in the Hellish Training Camp. Since young, no one had ever said such words to her.All she learned was how to defeat enemies!“There is medicine to get rid of bruises and swelling. I’ll get it.” Fia got up to look for medicine.Sophia sat there in a daze, feeling quite touched. The feeling of having someone who treated her like a girl and cared for her was really not bad.Fia brought the first aid kit and said to Sophia, “Let me help you apply the medicine. It might be a little painful. Just endure it a little.”“There is no need, Madam.” Sophia took over the first aid kit in her hand. “I can do it myself.”“Don’t worry about it. It’s not a big deal,” Fia said.Sophia shook her head awkwardly. “I’m ticklish.”“Alright, then you can do it yourself.” Fia sat down by her side and asked, “Have you eaten? What do you want to eat?”“I’ve eaten. Tiger sent food,” Sophia replie
It was then the door of the condominium apartment was opened again. This time Silas brought in two hunky, muscular bodyguards.Silas said to her coldly, “They are here to protect you. They will take turns to guard your door. If you need anything, you can always ask them to provide them for you.”Esme clenched her teeth and thanked him profusely. Deep in her heart, however, she was cursing him and Conrad non-stop. She did not think that Conrad would not only refuse to see her but also send someone to keep an eye on her.“Mr. Silas, I have miscarried my baby recently. I forgot to bring my medici-“Before she was able to finish her words, Silas tossed a packet of medicine on the table. “This is the medicine prescribed by the hospital. Remember to take them as the doctor ordered.”“Thank you, Mr. Silas.” Esme thanked him again.But it was not over yet. Silas looked her in the eye and said, “Hand over your phone.”Esme was stunned hearing this. “Why should I give you my phone? No,
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
