Chapter 678
Conrad shook his head and pulled her into his arms, and simply squeezed her tightly without saying a word.
Fia panicked. “What’s with you? It’s so early in the morning.”
“I’ll remember, Fia.”
“About what?”
“About you. About us. Everything,” Conrad said sternly.
Fia pecked his chin. “Then don’t get dementia when you’re old. Otherwise, you won’t remember me.”
“You too.” Conrad took in the unique scent she had on her.
There seemed to be a firework bursting out inside of Fia’s heart as she held his wide back.
“Then we promise.”
“Yes.”
The two of them stayed like that for a while. After having their breakfast, the two of them prepared to go
to the company.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was a car outside, surrounded by Conrad’s bodyguards.
“Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Parker said that he wanted to see you,” one of the bodyguards said to Conrad.
Conrad squeezed Fia’s hands. “Do you want to see him?”
“Might as well.”
The door opened, and the person sitting inside the car walked out.
Conall was wearing a gray outfit, looking similar to their traditional outfit. Felicity helped him out of the
car.
“I’ve been discharged, Fia,” he said gently.
Fia nodded. “It’s good that you’re alright.”
“I simply wanted to invite you to lunch with us in the afternoon. In front of you,” Conall said as he glanced at
Conrad. “You come along too.”
Fia hesitated.
Conall then said, “I’m going back to Lumenpolis. I don’t know when we’ll be able to see each other again.”
Fia was stunned. She didn’t realize that he would head back to the capital city so soon.
Felicity suddenly said, “There are a lot of things that Dad needs to take care of back in the company. He has no
choice but to return to the capital city soon. If you want to go there, you can go there at any time.”
Conall was glad that his daughter didn’t detest Fia.
“Felicity and I are of the same mind on this one. We won’t force you, but we wish that you can go back. At any time
you want.”
Fia lowered her eyes. “Where will we have lunch?”
“How about a restaurant near Maxwell Corporation? It’s easier for you two,” Conall said excitedly. He was
worried that she wouldn’t even have a meal with him.
“Alright. I’ll book the restaurant,” Conrad interrupted them.
“Thank you.” Felicity gave Conrad an extra look and she helped Conall back into the car without much change in
her expression.
After they saw Conall leaving in their car, Fla held Conrad’s arm and lazily asked, “You don’t hate him?” “Yes.””
“Why?” Fia looked at Conrad as she raised her head. “Didn’t you hate him the first time you saw him?”
“He saved you. Genuinely.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFia’s eyes trembled as Conrad lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “Don’t worry. I won’t kick you to the
capital city. It’s just a simple thanks to him.”
While he hadn’t become a father, Conrad could feel what Conall was feeling as they were both men. He was sure
that Conall’s fatherly love toward Fia was genuine.
That was enough for him to respect him.
“Which restaurant will you book?”
“How about the one from yesterday?” Conrad asked for her opinion.
Fia nodded. “The food they serve there is quite nice, it’s well-known in Gryphon, and it’s quite close to the
company.”
“That’s right.”
“You’re so good at this, honey!”
“Are you trying to suck up to me?” Conrad smiled. It was just booking a restaurant. There was no need for her to
praise him like that.
“No, no…” Fia said as she held his waist and shook her head while in his arms. “I’m revering you from the depths of
my heart… And…”
‘Loving you just as strong.
