Why didn’t Conrad pin any blame on Fia at all? He was being so protective of her instead. The security guards from the hospital and Conrad’s bodyguards finally arrived at the scene and forced the reporters to leave. Fia looked at Felicity calmly and said, “If you’re really worried about your mother, then you have the duty of making sure she learns to be at least respectful to others.” Felicity shook her head. “My mom doesn’t treat anyone else like that.” Fia didn’t say another word and simply left with Conrad as she held his arm. Felicity turned around and looked at the two leaving. She could suddenly understand her cousin Annie. Conrad was a talented and handsome man, and he was protective of his wife. No woman could resist his charm. … When Peter saw Joy still carrying an irate expression on her face as they approached Conall’s ward, he muttered, “Joy, can you please be more considerate?” Joy stopped and said angrily, “Conall cares so much about you but you can’t
Felicity walked over to the bed and looked at her father. “Dad, do you want my future husband to marry into our family?” Conall blinked, unable to say a word. Felicity then said, “If you want it, blink. If you don’t want it, don’t.” Conall looked at her without blinking, and he only blinked after several seconds had passed. Joy happily said, “See! Your father thought so too!” Finn couldn’t help saying, “What my brother means is that he respects Felicity’s choice. It’s up to her whether or not she wants her future husband to marry into the family.” “Not a word from you!” Joy said as she stared at Finn, unhappy with how he interpreted it differently from her. Felicity looked at her father and asked, “If what my uncle says is correct, please blink.” Conall immediately blinked. Felicity heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “Thank you for respecting me.” Conall blinked again with kind eyes. It was Joy’s turn to become unhappy, however. “You’ve never listened to me since
Finn glanced at his brother and shook his head. “Keep an eye on your father. I need to go back to the station now. Call me if anything happens.” Felicity sighed. She knew that, just like her father, her uncle liked Fia a lot. “I’ll see you off then.” Once she was outside the ward with her uncle, she asked, “Is Annie going to stay in the capital and never visit Gryphon again?” “She keeps on mucking around when she’s here, so it’s best if she stays in the capital!” Finn said with an eyebrow raised. “She has never been as considerate as you, even when she was little. If you have the time, do give her a pointer or two, alright? Fia’s your sister and not an outsider, after all.” “Why are you so sure that I won’t go against Fia?” Felicity asked. Finn hesitated for a second and patted her shoulder. “Because your eyes tell me you don’t want to do anything to her.” Felicity quickly lowered her head and muttered, “It’s human to be selfish. I might change.” “I believe you can defe
“Jason, if you want to call her, do it,” Clarice said when she saw her son staring at his phone for over ten minutes. “You’re a good boy. You know what you should do and what you shouldn’t. If you want to call her, just do it.” Jason closed his eyes. “She’s a very kind person.” Clarice frowned. “So are you.” “There’s something that’s trying to burst out of my heart… I don’t think I can hold it back anymore,” Jason said as he opened his eyes. His eyes were full of despair. “Mom, do you love Dad?” Clarice smiled as she nodded. “If I didn’t love him, I wouldn’t have willingly allowed my reputation to be spoiled all these years.” Jason then said, “He gave up his inheritance and Maxwell Corporation for you all those years ago, but it didn’t stop the world from tormenting you. Even then, you never hated how cruel fate is?” “I’m not a saint, but I hold back. Love made me hold back.” Suddenly, Clarice paused before saying regretfully, “Speaking of which, it’s my fault for hurting F
The servants were physically restrained very quickly. “You can go in now, Sir,” a bodyguard said to Conrad. Conrad glanced at the Evans’ courtyard. The trees and shrubs were well-maintained. Even if someone else was taking care of them, he could tell how much their masters cared about them. When he walked over a pot of roses, he immediately gave it a good kick, shattering the pot. He then walked into the Evans’ living room and saw Clarice, who was walking down the stairs nervously. When Clarice saw him, she instinctively gripped the rail and stopped dead in her tracks. “I thought you fell badly and were forced to stay at the hospital?” Conrad examined Clarice with a disgusted look. When he remembered how Garrett was questioning him at the hospital furiously that day, only now did he realize how ridiculous it was. Clarice gulped and didn’t answer his question out of shame. Instead, she asked, “Why are you here?” “If you really want nothing to happen, take me to Jason
Clarice quickly ran to Jason and said, “Forget about him, Jason. I’ll help you back to your room.” Jason pushed his mother’s hand away. “It’s fine. I don’t care how he looks at me.” “That’s right. Like mother, like son! One pretended to fall over, and the other pinned a crime on me.” Conrad sneered. “If you cared about other people, would you have done it?” “Your mother only cares about what Garrett thinks, and he believes whatever she says, since he’s all over her, anyway. What about you? Fia’s my wife. She will never believe you wholeheartedly. And this is great news now that you’ve exposed how filthy you truly are! Even if I have dug myself out of that pit, I’m still better than you who had just fallen into it!” Even though he didn’t communicate with others much, he could be vicious when he needed to. He looked at Clarice, his eyes were full of disdain. Clarice couldn’t argue back and all she could do was stare back at him. All she said was that Jason was not like him,
She wanted to call Garrett. Garrett would definitely solve the problem!***“Sophia, hurry up.” Fia walked out the door. Seeing Sophia looking at her phone, she urged her.“Coming, coming.” Sophia put down her phone and ran to open the car door. “Madam, please be my guest.”Fia’s eyes narrowed with amusement. “How many times have I told you? Stop calling me Madam. Just call me Fia.”Sophia scratched the back of her hand. “Just let me be.”Fia did not insist. She got into the passenger seat and put on her seat belt.Sophia got into the driver’s seat and said, “It’s still early. Even if we go half an hour later, we’ll still be able to pick Miss Reid up.”“We’re picking her up. So we can only be early, not on the dot, and most definitely not late.” Fia had a serious look. “What if she arrives early and doesn't see us? Won’t it be very disappointing?”Sophia was a little envious of Eileen. If she had a bestie like Madam, wouldn’t that be great?!The car arrived at the airport. A
Fia looked at Sophia’s sincere and kind eyes and felt a hint of pity.Why did such a good lady get abandoned by her parents back then?“Sophia, have you ever thought of searching for your own parents?”Sophia was stunned and immediately shook her head, her tone extremely cold. “If they were able to abandon me, why do I need to search for them?”“What if they had their difficulties?” Fia said.Sophia immediately gave a sarcastic smile. “Madam, if it were you, would you abandon your own child?”Fia immediately shook her head. “If possible, I’m willing to use my life to trade for my child’s.”Sophia replied, “Exactly. No matter what problems they had, for one to be able to abandon their child, it shows that they aren’t anything good.”“You’re all grown up now. Treat yourself a little better, find a reliable man in the future, and live out the rest of your life well,” Fia said sincerely.Sophia tilted her head and thought about it. “For now, I think that living like this is pretty
