Chapter 349
The images of her past self appeared in his mind. She was very different from how she was currently.
In the end, it was him who gave her the status but he was unable to make her feel safe.
“Fia, I’m sorry.”
Fia was holding on to the rail as she turned around and looked at him, confused.
“I didn’t protect you in the past. I’ll change.”
Fia frowned. “Where did you go this morning?”
“The company.”
Fia would never have guessed that her saying that he had a mood disorder would become reality.
She would never be able to guess what he was thinking right now. However, she didn’t want to know either.
The more she knew, the more unsettled she became.
The two of them quietly ate lunch as they sat at the dining table.
After she put down her fork, Fia looked at Conrad and said, “Since we haven’t divorced yet, I believe I should be
upfront with you. Jason came to see me this morning.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad put down the fork in silence as well.
“The reason I’m telling you this isn’t because I want to anger you. It’s because I’m respecting our relationship.
Respecting you.”
He remembered how he treated her in the past while he listened to her.
Ever since he asked for the divorce, he believed everything that Esme had said without doing his due diligence.
What did that make her? His wife? He showed her no respect at all.
Meanwhile, despite their looming divorce, she still remembered they were husband and wife. She would explain and
disclose everything that needed to be said.
Compared to her, he had acted like a jerk throughout the marriage.
“If you want to be angry, that’s your problem. I just want to tell you what happened.” With that, Fia stood up and
left the dining room.
Conrad had originally wanted to ask Jason to come over for dinner. But now, he regretted it.
He went to the kitchen and found Mrs. Taylor. “No need to cook too much for dinner. Just prepare for one extra
person.”
Mrs. Taylor asked curiously, “Who is it?”
“The new police director, Director Parker.”
“Huh? Is he here just for dinner? Or is he investigating you or the madam?”
“Just a simple dinner.”
Once Conrad had everything rearranged, he didn’t feel that bad anymore.
However, he didn’t expect that around four in the evening, Finn would arrive with another person with him.
After Mrs. Taylor had seated them, she ran upstairs.
“Madam, Director Parker and Doctor Evans have come over, saying that they’re here to see you.”
When Fia heard it, she didn’t think too much about it and went downstairs.
Mrs. Taylor then informed Conrad the same thing while he was in the study.
When Conrad heard about it, he raised an eyebrow asking, “Why is Jason Evans here again?!”
“He came with Director Parker,” Mrs. Taylor said. She was also feeling uneasy about it.
When she saw Conrad walk out angrily, Mrs. Taylor quickly said, “Master Maxwell, don’t you think that Doctor Evans
looks somewhat like…”
“No!”
Mrs. Taylor took in a deep breath as she didn’t know what else to say.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had looked after Conrad since he was a child. She could clearly tell that Conrad knew about it already, but he
simply refused to acknowledge it.
Once he went downstairs, he saw Fia sitting on the couch, chatting with the two.
Conrad was like an exploding keg as he glared at Jason and said, “Who told you to come here?”
Jason glared at him and said, “I’m here to visit Fia.”
“You came over this morning already. Why are you here again?!”
“How can you speak like that?” Finn said with a frown as he slammed the cup of coffee onto the coffee table. “Don’t
you know that he is a guest?!”
“What’s your objective!” Conrad stared at Finn. He was showing no respect toward Finn at all despite being the
junior.
It was as if he was treating Finn as the person that threw his family life into turmoil!
“Miss?” Finn looked at Fia with regret. “Is this the kind of life you’ve been leading after marrying him for the past
few years?”
Fia pursed her lips. She glanced at Conrad and then at Finn.
“That must be a joke, right? While my husband has a bad temper, he treats me quite well.”
She had to maintain her pride no matter how difficult it was and she didn’t want to hang dirty laundry in public.
