Silas did not wish to reply to questions regarding these two people.“Sir didn’t get us to watch them. I’m busy with company affairs.”Fia nodded. “There have been a lot of things lately and a lot of company-related stuff have fallen on you. You must be very tired, aren’t you?”Silas sized her up oddly. “Madam, what’s wrong with you?”He felt that she was acting weird.“I am your boss’s wife. Is it wrong to be a little concerned about you?”Silas shook his head. “It’s not wrong. I am very grateful. However, in the past, you would never ask all these.”He subconsciously looked at the document bag on the counter and quickly picked it up and placed it under his underarms.He had a feeling that Fia was trying to dig information from him.“Madam, I still have other work to do, so I’ll make a move first.” After he finished speaking, Silas quickly went out. It wasn’t that he wanted to leave. He was afraid of being around Fia.When Conrad got Sally and returned to the ward together,
“Why don’t we do this? After work, I’ll go buy it for you. When I’ve gotten it, I’ll bring it over and accompany you.” Sally saw that the atmosphere between the two wasn’t quite right and immediately became the peacemaker.Fia kicked away the opportunity Sally provided to ease the situation as she looked at Conrad and said coolly, “Who said that he’ll take good care of me and the children I’m carrying? Now, he’s unable to even fulfill my request for some food.”Conrad couldn’t be bothered with the discomfort he was feeling within and said, “I’ll get Mrs. Taylor to make it for you. When Sally gets off work and comes to accompany you, I’ll go back and get it.”Fia replied, “Alright! Bring more. I will eat with Sally.”After she finished speaking, she didn’t look at him anymore.Conrad felt that he was like a tool as he listened to Fia talking to Sally while she held her.They talked about good food and drinks, things he was totally unable to interject in.After talking to Fia for
It was as if Peter getting married and becoming part of the Thomases had nothing to do with them!She and her husband were now worried that if her son married the Thomas girl, if his heart was entirely focused on the Thomases, and ignored them husband and wife, then they’d be done for!“Sally, to be honest, I am a little repulsed by Britney’s parents. Her parents originally had quite a good relationship with us, but after misfortune befell our family, they always avoided us, fearing that we would borrow money from them.”Sally was still young when it happened and never noticed these matters between the adults.She said, “That’s how people are like. They are afraid their poor relatives will borrow money and afraid that if something happens to their friends, they’d be implicated as well.”“You are so young. Why do you speak like a monk!” Mrs. Hall said. “That old husband-and-wife duo of the Thomases aren’t that simple. There is something you don’t know! Your father was in the hospit
Fia looked at Sally a little pitifully, thinking of the sibling love she had with Peter that she had told her about.However, the situation now would let Sally see how dirty and vicious the brother she worshiped was!“Sally, personally, I don’t want to harm you and your family.”However, now, for the sake of revealing Esme’s true colors sooner, and getting everything to stop, she had no other choice.She could not let Esme, this hidden danger, continue to harm her.She needed to think of the two children in her womb.“Fia…” Sally looked at Fia’s gaze that was becoming more and more desolate, and felt nervous and fearful.She kept feeling like something bad was about to happen.“Didn’t you say that you wanted to teach me a massage?” Fia changed the topic.“Alright, let me teach you.” Sally looked at her left shoulder. “Don’t simply move your left hand about. I’m worried that you will tug at the wound and cause pain. Just use your right hand to learn from me.”“Alright.” Fia ha
After he mentioned about divorcing her and hurting her together with Esme in the process, she was really unable to have an innocent and pure heart like she did in the past.“Conrad, don’t you feel that you are very fake?” she said sarcastically. “If you were really sincere, you would not even need to ask my opinion. You should have long given me what other girls all have. Not do all these now that there are all kinds of problems between us and do it for the sake of making it up to me or for the sake of erasing the guilt you feel.”Conrad felt terrible, but did not know how to solve the problem at hand.“Fia, then tell me, what should I do, alright? I don’t have experience in this aspect.”“There is no need to do anything anymore,” Fia said faintly.If he really wanted to do something, really loved her, cherished her, he would naturally know what to do.She couldn’t even be bothered to tell him about things he didn’t know.“I hope for peace in the future. Just deal with your lous
“It’s been so many years. Neither I nor our parents knew! Those people outside don’t know either!” Sally’s emotions collapsed as she cried and shouted, “You have always acted so kind and so great in front of us! We had never suspected you!”Her lips trembled and her voice was hoarse. “But…But, why is it like this?”“Impossible!” Peter shook his head. His footsteps faltered and he landed heavily on the chair. “It’s impossible for her to send these to you!”“How long do you want to lie to yourself?!” Sally rushed forward to grab him by the shoulders and shook them. “She first slandered Conrad, saying that he wanted to sexually assault her! Now she’s told your matters to other people. It’s clear that she wants to completely turn against you! She already no longer needs you, her backing. She wants to ruin you!”“Impossible!” Peter forcefully pushed Sally away. His hand that had just been fixed hurt so much that it made his forehead covered in sweat.“Isn’t she afraid of me ruining her
”She’s in her room upstairs.”The maid did not stop him from going upstairs. She did not suspect anything since it was known that Mr. and Mrs. Hall approved of Peter and Britney’s union in marriage. They were even discussing the exact date for their wedding! So, to the maid, Peter’s anxiousness was actually his eagerness to meet his fiance.Peter hurried upstairs and knocked on Britney’s door. When the door opened, Esme asked in a daze, seemingly surprised to see him here, “Oh, Peter? Why’re you here?”“Heh!” Peter smirked before pushing her back into the room, choking her with a hand.Shocked and dejected, Esme tried to fight back and break free. However, Peter was too strong. In less than a minute, he had pushed her into the bathroom and pressed her head onto the sink.“You b*tch! Why did you send those to my sister?!”“What… What do you mean?” Esme asked as she struggled to break free from Peter’s grasp.Peter turned the tap and began drenching her head. “I didn’t tell you al
Hurt, Peter rushed to the girl and asked, “Who are you?!”She stopped, still not facing or talking to him. Suppressing her anger, Barbara glared at Peter. “What do you want now? After almost choking my sister to death, you’re going to hurt my friend too?!”“Who is she?” Peter asked again as he stared at the girl. He wanted to take off her cap and mask so badly. He had an urge to see her face.Barbara shielded the girl behind her, intending to protect her from Peter. She had made up her mind. If this jerk dared to come closer, she would break his left arm right there and then!“My friend has no obligation to entertain you, Peter Hall!” Barbara said as she clenched her teeth. Her hatred for this man was so intense that she could hardly hold it in.Suddenly, the girl tapped on Barbara’s hand before taking off her cap. Peter’s irises shrunk and he took a few steps back.“Didn’t you want to see how I look, mister?” the girl said.A deep, long scar could be seen on the girl’s face, sl
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
