Chapter 620
When they got back to their office, Fia removed her gentle and magnificent mask and slumped into the sofa.
Conrad poured a glass of water and walked over. “Have a drink.”
“How did you know that I’m thirsty?” Fia took the glass of water and finished it all in one gulp. Her fatigue could be
seen in her eyes.
It was her first time speaking to all of his staff as his wife despite having married him for three years.
In truth, she wasn’t as calm as she looked.
Conrad held the empty glass and put it down before holding her fingers and massaging them softly.
“You did well just now.”
“Did I?” Fia asked with bright eyes.
Conrad pulled her into his arms. “Fia, you’re way better than I have imagined.”
Fia looked at him without blinking. Nothing could make her happier at this time other than him praising her.

to be able to focus on your creative work. Don’t waste your time on them.”
“I’m not a robot. When I’m not drawing things, I want to help you too,” she said as she held his hand, their fingers
slowly intertwining.
As their hands were held together, her heart felt much calmer.
But when she thought about Annie and Britney, she couldn’t help but become suspicious of them.
“While the fire has been extinguished and no one got hurt, don’t you think that it’s strange?”
Conrad went quiet a bit and said, “Tiger already investigated it on the spot. Barbara had too many devices plugged
in. One of the cables on the wall was aging and it caused the fire after a meltdown.”
“I see,” Fia said after giving it a thought. “Was Britney in Barbara’s office back then?”
“No.”
“How do you know?”
“You’re not the only one suspecting her. Her colleagues in the department can all vouch for
Chapt
her.” Conrad gently rubbed her forehead.
Fia didn’t continue this line of questioning. However, she couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong with
Britney. It’s not important that she’s not in the office during the fire. As Barbara’s little sister, she could easily enter
and leave Barbara’s office before the fire.
She was the most suspicious.
However, she didn’t have any evidence. That was why she didn’t say anything to Conrad.
“I have a banquet that I need to attend tonight. Do you want to come with me?” Conrad held her waist and couldn’t
help but bury his face in her neck, kissing it.
Fia pushed his face away and laughed as she moved away.
“Alright, stop it. That tickles.”
Conrad took a deep breath. “Come with me tonight?”
“No. I’m meeting Sharon and William tonight.”

Fia’s ears turned red and whispered, “I know. But I really like those two kids. If I can. familiarize myself on how to
get together with kids, once we have our children, it won’t be so hectic for me.”
Conrad’s heart was tickled by her gentle words. When he remembered how their two children. were not fated to
stay with them, he felt guilty.
“I’ll protect you and our children. I won’t let them experience anything bad ever again.”
Fia instantly remembered those two children that they lost too, and her mood turned sour.
She hadn’t been using any protection these days. As this was her second time, she had been paying attention to
her own changes. She even bought test strips online and tried them behind. his back.
Unfortunately, there was nothing.
She even secretly checked it. Some of the people with bad luck couldn’t get pregnant anymore after a single
miscarriage.
After she finished work, she ran into the kitchen.
“Mrs. Whitley, can I ask for your help on something?”
Mrs. Taylor, who was cleaning the prawns while sitting on a wheelchair, quickly said, “If there’s anything you need
my help with, just let me know.”
