Chapter 868

Author: Stellar Strands
The two of them looked at each other.

Conrad’s gaze was complicated. He had more or less heard something.

“Fia, it isn’t like what you think.”

Fia averted her gaze. “Whether it is or not, it can wait until I see her before we talk!”

Conrad frowned and said, “It’s not suitable for you to meet her. She is full of schemes and will provoke your emotions and agitate you.”

“Are you afraid of me meeting her?” Fia asked coolly. “If you aren’t feeling guilty, then move aside!”

Conrad continued to block her path, and said earnestly, “I am doing it for your good. Your thinking is naive. The moment she speaks, she is full of lies. You aren’t her match.”

“You’re just feeling guilty!” Fia’s negativity rushed out. “Are you not letting me meet her alone because you’re afraid that I would hurt her?! Your heart must be very sure that she is Esme!”

Conrad frowned. “Fia, you are pregnant and cannot be agitated. I will get Silas to send you home.”

“Don’t touch me!” Fia threw Conrad’s hand off and

    He turned around and entered the study. He called Tiger.“Where is Peter?”Tiger looked into the ward and walked to the side before he said in a hushed tone, “He was hit by Mr. Evans. He has a concussion and is at the hospital.”“If he isn’t dead, then send him directly to Director Parker!” Conrad said coldly.“However, Madam does not plan to pursue the matter. If we don’t respect Madam’s decision, won’t she get angry at you?” Tiger advised earnestly, not wishing for the relationship between his boss and boss’s wife to worsen.Conrad pinched the bridge of his nose. “He kidnapped Fia and almost strangled her to death! I cannot act as if nothing happened!”“Sir, have you discussed this with Madam?” Tiger could not help but ask.“There is no need to tell her about this matter. Just send Peter over. That can also shake up that fake!” Thinking of how Esme did those disgusting things with Britney’s face, Conrad felt his stomach churn that it felt as if he was about to throw up.He di

    Jason was indifferent, and indicated for Sally to continue with the call.Looking at Jason who was very close, Sally could no longer act arrogant toward Fia who was on the other end of the line.“Fia…”Fia said faintly, “No worries. I can understand you.”“I’m sorry, Fia. I… I must have been possessed. He is my elder brother. I am unable to treat him like a stranger. I’m sorry…” Sally covered her face with a hand, squatted down, and started crying.Hearing her broken sobs, Fia slowly felt her heart become heavy.Everyone in the world had to make choices.Those who were abandoned were pitiful, but those who had to make the choice were pitiful also.“It’s okay, Sally.” Fia suppressed the grumblings in her heart. “I am not blaming you. It was just a scare. Am I not doing fine now?”“Fia, sob sob sob, I’m so sorry!” Sally blamed herself. She felt guilty and cried even more miserably.Jason didn't want to waste time, so he walked up to Sally, and said in a cold tone. “Your brother

    At the study, Fia quietly opened the door and saw Conrad busy handling the problem at his desk. She was hesitating over entering the study. She feared that they might fight again as soon as she went in. Even if no fight was ignited, their different views would ruin their day. Waiting at his desk for several seconds, Conrad realized that the girl was not going to enter the room. Not able to hold it in anymore, he closed his laptop, marched to the entrance of the study, and opened the door widely. “Fia, why aren’t you entering?”Fia raised her head and looked at him. “Did you order your men to take Peter away from the hospital?”“Yes.” A cold glint flashed in Conrad’s eyes as soon as he thought about Peter.“I promised Sally to let him go. Besides, the reason her brother would harm me is not just because of the conflict between the Halls and Parkers but also because of manipulation from Britney’s imposter. The true culprit is that fake Britney, not Peter.”Fia lowered her voi

    Feeling her heart in pain, Fia stared at Conrad blankly and asked, “Then let me ask you. Have you ever lied to me?”Conrad was stunned upon hearing this. He had lied to her plenty of times. The worst lie was about Thea Lawson’s project that he robbed from her.“Fia, sometimes… a lie could be a white lie.”“But a lie is a lie. A lie with good intentions? The so-called ‘good intention’ is just the liar’s selfish presumption!” Fia began to get agitated again, “You think you lied to me with good intentions but to me the fact you’re lying just means that you had ill intentions! The fact you hid Britney’s imposter in that apartment made me very uncomfortable!” “…”Conrad stared at Fia’s anguished eyes as he tried to come up with words to explain to her. It was then he realized something. Fia had been calling that woman “Britney’s imposter” or “fake Britney”. She had been avoiding to use her real name—“Esme Manning”.Marcus had told him. Esme was a knot that troubled Fia the most. Th

    To Fia, Sally was not just her doctor. She was like her sister, someone who cared for her and was there for her when she was down. Yet now, she could feel that Sally’s heart had turned cold after the incident. It was probably true that no friendship could last forever. Still, Fia could not help but feel saddened by this. The more sadness she felt, the more frustrated she became. “Conrad!” Feeling hurt, Fia called out to his name. Receiving no reply, she got down from the bed and walked barefooted to the window. It was still early in the morning and the sun had not completely risen yet. She opened the window to get some fresh air. She gazed out the window and stared at the greenery outside.Then, she extended her hand, feeling an urge to touch the trees and mountains that were viewable yet far away…Meanwhile…“Sir, these are the words that Peter Hall said after we broke him for confessions. Things aren’t looking good for Ms. Manning.”Tiger handed Conrad a flash drive that co

    Fia was surprised to hear him saying that. “Forget you? How could I forget you? You’ve been in my heart for years.”Conrad thought she meant that they had known each other for a long time. He did not know that she had feelings for him for years before they got married.“Please promise me. Promise me you’ll not forget me all your life.”Fia nodded. “Okay. I promise you.”Seeing that her emotions were stable, Conrad felt that this was a golden opportunity to suggest something.“I’m not feeling well lately. So I need to go see a doctor. Would you kindly accompany me to see him?”“Sure.” Fia held Conrad’s arm worriedly, “How are you feeling now? Is it your stomach? It has to be your stomach! You always skip meals so it’s always in bad shape. You should drink less alcohol from now on, okay?”Conrad nodded and promised to avoid alcohol henceforth. He did not have the heart to remind her that he had been drinking less because of her. On their way to see Marcus, Fia sat in the backsea

    “It’s okay. You go see the doctor. Don’t worry about me. I’m not a kid anymore,” Fia said with a blush. It felt so sudden and uncomfortable for her to see Conrad treating her so gently and lovingly.A short while after Conrad entered the study, Marcus brought in some milk and nuts as snacks. After drinking his milk, he lazed on the chair next to Conrad’s, pulling a long face. He asked Conrad with a stern, serious glance, “So what happened?”“Something happened last night. It had made her quite agitated, greatly affecting her emotions.” After a pause, Conrad said, “I’ve done something behind her back. This morning, a friend she’s very close with gave her a call. I think they had a fight.”Marcus nodded and asked, “And?”“When I went back to the bedroom, she was sitting by the window, looking at the scenery outside. She seemed to have become overly innocent and naive, seemingly clueless about the ugly, bad things in the world. Not only that, her behavior and attitude had reverted to

    Seeing Fia being suspicious, Conrad patiently explained, “My condition requires twenty-four-hour monitoring by a licensed physician. So it’s much easier for him to treat me if he stays with us.”Learning the reason for needing a live-in doctor, Fia’s eyes shone and she said, “I see. Okay, I’m fine with that. It’s for my husband’s health after all.”Still, Marcus was not someone who knew courtesy and manners. When they reached their villa, Conrad asked Silas to prepare the guest room for the doctor but Marcus took interest in the cottages behind the villa. He pointed at one of the cottages and said, “I’ll live in that one.”Fia stared at Marcus in surprise and disbelief. Not wanting to keep the doctor in the dark, Silas smiled at Marcus politely, “Mr. White, that’s the accommodation for the housekeepers and bodyguards.”However, Marcus responded with a bright smile, “Oh, don’t you worry about me. I only need a place to stay.”Despite not understanding Marcus’ decision, Conrad conce

    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
