Chapter 1105 These were all things she would never have done in the past.
But with such an outstanding man, who could resist? “Dad, you don't have to worry. | already have a boyfriend.” “Really? Introduce him to me.” Conall was a little agitated.
Felicity wiped away the tears that were just shed. “He is very busy. He's an entrepreneur. When he has more time, | will definitely bring him back to see you!” “Sure, sure.” Conall was a little more satisfied. He was worried that if he died some day, no one would love his daughter.
Felicity left her father’s room and met with her uncle, Finn.
Finn had a cold expression as he looked at her. “How long do you plan to keep this from your father?” “Uncle.” Felicity went forward, not the least bit angry as she said gently, “I am doing this for the sake of
Parker Group.” “If your father knew everything you've been doing these few years, he would definitely be so disappointed!” Finn's emotions were a little out of control.
“Uncle.” A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. “Then what about you? If it were not for you being unwilling to help share the burden, would my father have spent his entire lifetime toiling away for Parker Group? It was also because of you that he broke up with Fia's mother and caused a whole series of tragedies!” Finn had no words to retort.
“Everything I've done, being shameless for the sake of Parker Group, was it not all caused by you?!” Felicity said ruthlessly.
She got a hold of her uncle’s weakness and every time he criticized her, she was able to shut him down
completely! Finn left with a sweep of his sleeve. He did not like business and had indeed caused his elder brother to suffer.
Back then it was also him who had liked Echo, which caused a rift to appear between Echo and his brother, and that was why they broke up. In the end, Echo had to raise Fia alone.
She was right. It was all because of him! Now, Echo and Fia had both left the world and his brother fell sick from heartbreak and the responsibility for Parker Group fell onto Felicity. He had no right to point any fingers! After angering her uncle into leaving, Felicity tidied her hair and revealed a gentle smile as she went downstairs.
Shortly after, a servant came running in. “Miss, Mr. Maxwell is here.”
She was instantly like a little bird, delighted. “Conrad!” Conrad held his cane as he stood at the doorway of the Parker residence. Seeing Felicity run toward him, his pupils constricted slightly.
A scene seemed to appear in his mind, of a girl running toward him like this in the past, but he could not see the girl's face clearly.
“Conrad!” Felicity, who was usually prim and proper and gentle, was at this moment like a joyful young lady.
She carefully supported Conrad. “Why are you suddenly here?” It was the first time he was at her place and she was very happy.
Conrad looked at her with his deep amber eyes. “Have | not been to your house before?” Felicity was slightly stunned. “You've been here before. It's just
that it's a little sudden this time. I'm just too happy.” Conrad threw aside the suspicion in his mind and simply treated the girl from the scene in his mind as Felicity.
Silas, who was by the side, lowered his head quietly, his ‘emotions extremely complicated. However, as things were, he had no better way.
He was worried that if he told Conrad the truth, Conrad would recall the past and be unable to accept Fia's death and would start torturing himself.
“Conrad, let me help you in. Be careful,” Felicity said gently.
Conrad did not reject her. There weren't any ripples in his heart either.
He had been hearing her voice since he gained consciousness and it was like having a calm pill in his foreign world.
Over these five years, she would call him every day. Her voice had become a comfort when he was exhausted and busy.
As for other emotions, he had never thought deeply into it and even felt that there was no need to.
Thinking of how Silas had suddenly asked him in the car whether he liked Felicity, he suddenly stopped walking.
“What's wrong?” Felicity looked at him, puzzled.
Chapter 1106 Conrad lowered his eyes and asked. “What is “like?” Felicity was stunned and instantly got nervous.
“Conrad, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Or did you recall something?” Conrad lowered his gaze, feeling that there was no need to ask all these.
This kind of getting along with no waves, no burden, would not cause him any trouble.
“It's fine. Let's go in.” After Felicity helped him to the living room, she personally went to cut up fruits and make tea. After she returned, she intentionally sat by his side.
“Conrad, just now you asked me what ‘like’ is. | think | can answer you.” Conrad's attitude was cold. “It was just a casual question. You don't have to take it seriously.” “Like is
liking something of someone, always remembering the person,” Felicity said gently. ” The other person would make you feel calm when you feel lost.” Conrad's expression did not change at all. “So are you telling me, | like you?” He turned his head and stared at Felicity. The words he spoke did not have the least bit of emotion.
Felicity’s intentions were seen through, and she blushed in ‘embarrassment, but did not panic. The corner of her lips curved into a nice arc as she asked very gently, “Then, after you woke up from your accident, who else has ever given you this feeling?” “Ha.” Conrad gave a cold laugh. “Are you reminding me by asking me?” Her voice held a kind of power. It was something he never quite managed to figure out over the five years.
Besides her voice, he had no feelings of being close to her as a person atall.
“No, Conrad.” Felicity gently placed a hand on the back of his palm. “I'm just concerned about you.” Conrad's line of sight fell on her hand and instinctively drew his hand away.
Felicity was not the least bit angry as she took her hand back and said gently, “Is it because | have been too tired lately and have not called you, so you feel unhappy?” “No,” Conrad said instinctively.
He had never been able to understand why he liked listening to her voice, yet was repulsed by her being near.
“Then...” Felicity stared at Conrad as she tried to size him up, delight growing in her heart. This man was so outstanding. She really wanted to stay by his side and be his one and only. “What?” Conrad
turned and saw the unabashed admiration in Felicity’s eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe frowned hard and stepped back to widen the gap between them.
Felicity saw it and moved to the side a little. “Conrad, will you have time? My mom's birthday is tomorrow. She plans to invite some friends and relatives over for a meal. Will you come?” Conrad did not rush to speak. Silas walked out and soon came back with an exquisite box.
“Miss Parker, this is the birthday gift Mr. Maxwell has prepared for your mother.” Felicity accepted it with both hands as she looked at Conrad happily. “Conrad, thank you. You remembered.” Conrad replied indifferently, “My mother reminded me.” Felicity's heart sank. However, she thought that since he put in effort into getting a gift for her mother,
the show could still go on.
Conrad replied, “| won't be attending tomorrow's banquet. | have to make a trip for work.” After he finished speaking, he picked up his cane.
Silas went forward to support him.
Felicity was very lost. She did not know what she had said wrong.
She was clearly so careful, however, he was just suddenly very cold.
Although he had never been very passionate in the past, he was not as cold as he was today.
After leaving the Parker residence, Silas drove a distance before finally asking, “Sir, didn’t you plan to join Mrs. Parker's birthday banquet tomorrow?” “I suddenly felt disgusted.” Conrad frowned and slowly raised his hand to put it on his heart. “When she discussed what ‘like’ was, my heart felt uncomfortable.”
Silas went silent, really wishing to tell Conrad about Fia, yet feeling extremely fearful.
Chapter 1107 “Silas, before | lost my memory, did | really have a good relationship with Felicity?"Conrad was very suspicious.
Silas swallowed. “I am not too sure.” “My mother said that we were childhood sweethearts. Why don't I have any memories of that?” Conrad asked.
Silas thought of how Beryl was extremely kind to Conrad now.
Every time he went to see her, she would cook for him. She was no longer cold with vitriolic mannerisms like she was in the past.
He did not dare to mention to Conrad what his mother was like in the past.
No matter how terrible Beryl was, he knew that Conrad had always seen her as his mother, and also hoped in his heart that she could be a normal mother.
Now Beryl was a normal mother, and it was like this particular regret that Conrad had before was no more.
Even if Beryl had her own personal agenda, as long as she didn't harm Conrad, it was fine.
However, in matters of the heart, he still did not like Conrad following Beryl’s arrangements blindly.
“Sir, if you don't like Miss Parker, you don't have to listen to what your mother says.” Conrad was a little stunned. “Isn't she my mother? As a son, | should be filial.” Silas felt stuffed. These five years, Beryl did well acting as a good mother and could be considered to have brainwashed Mr. Maxwell.
Conrad said, “She likes Felicity a lot.” “Sir, marriage is for life. It is not as simple as a business collaboration,” Silas earnestly advised.
“There isn’t much difference, is there?”
Conrad rubbed his temples, suddenly feeling extremely annoyed.
Silas reminded him, “Tomorrow is Mrs. Parker's birthday. Your mother will be joining the event. When the time comes, it will be inevitable that your marriage with Miss Parker will be brought up.” “Then, we'll just get engaged first.” Conrad had a nonchalant look.
He did not understand what “like” was, nor did he wish to understand.
In his eyes, Felicity was gentle and capable and was able to gain his mother’s favor. It was sufficient that his mother liked her.
At the airport.
A woman was wearing a black tunic, down jacket, and yoga pants, and her dark brown short boots
made a crisp sound when she stepped on the ground.
Her black hair was tied up into a tall bun. She gave off a strong aura, as if telling people not to get close.
She held a child in each hand, one girl and one boy.
The two of them looked like her. They were extremely fair, one dressed in black and one dressed in white, looking like two dumplings.
The two of them were complaining. “It's so cold here.” The woman said, “It's winter, so it's cold.” “However, it isn't cold on the island. Every day is hot,” Adrian said.
“The island is near the equator, so it's hot all year round.” The woman guided them along the road as she explained, “There are many cities where there are four seasons. It's warm during spring, hot during summer, cool during fall, and cold during winter.”
Along the way, quite a few people stared at the two cute kids while being extremely curious of how the lady in sunglasses looked.
“Mommy, there are so many people watching us.” Irene shook Fia’s hand as she spoke childishly.
“How uneducated!” Fia harrumphed, raising her chin.
Fia swept a glance at those people. Thinking of how the two children had always been on the island, Irene feeling fearful was quite normal.
She bent down and carried Irene.
Adrian instantly felt aggrieved. “Mommy, why did you only carry Irene?” “You've seen the world. You're not afraid.” She smiled at Adrian, and held her son's hand tightly.
“Hmph! Exactly. I'm better than my sister!” Adrian walked with his head held high, occasionally meeting the gaze of those passersby.
Fia was tickled by him, and shook his hand and said, “You can't be like this. Although a man has to be brave, you also need to be a little restrained.” “Alright.” Adrian tucked in his little tummy and lowered his head a little, instantly appearing much like a simple kid and more honest.
Chapter 1108 Seeing the situation, the passersby could not help but laugh.
Adrian asked, not understanding why, “Mommy, why do they laugh when they see us?” “Because you and your sister are very adorable and beautiful.
We adults love looking at adorable and beautiful things.” Fia dragged both children out of the airport and made a call.
Soon, someone came over. “Miss Fia, please get into the car.” The chauffeur opened the door to the back seat.
Irene hugged Fia’s neck and said, “Mommy, this car is so pretty!” It was a big, red RV, domineering and charming.
Fia swept a faint glance. “If you like it, shall we use it to get you to kindergarten in the future?” “Alright!” Irene was happy for a couple of seconds before asking,
“What's a kindergarten?” The trio talked fervently in the back seat.
Adrian said, “It's a place to gain knowledge. Daddy told me.” “Why didn’t he come along with us?” Irene was curious yet sorrowful. “We have never been. apart from Daddy on the island.” Fia rubbed Irene’s head gently. “Adrian, Irene, promise me.
Don't tell anyone where we came from, alright?” Although the two children did not understand, they readily agreed.
The chauffeur drove as he listened to the conversation she had with the children.
On the other side, Lucifer heard their conversation very clearly through the audio surveillance from the chauffeur.
Fia swept a glance at the Bluetooth earpiece by the chauffeur’s
ear. “We are people, not dogs.” She made the statement without making it sound too serious nor too jokingly.
Lucifer frowned and quietly switched off the audio surveillance function.
“Mommy? Who is treating us as dogs? I'll beat him to death!” Adrian waved his fist fiercely.” The moves Daddy taught me are amazing. | can hit a lion with a move!” “You're boasting!” Irene did not believe him.
Fia smiled, and suddenly was not in the mood to talk as she stared out the window, looking at the scenery in a daze.
Five years. It was her first time back in this country.
She returned to the capital, not the city where it was full of wounds and scars, yet she still felt uncomfortable.
The car stopped by the entrance of the hotel. The chauffeur
said, “This is the hotel Boss 2/2 booked for you.” “Alright.” Fia acknowledged faintly, put on her sunglasses, and brought her children out of the car.
The chauffeur wanted to help send the luggage up, but Fia rejected his offer.
“I'll call the hotel service for help. You can leave.” The chauffeur froze. Boss gave him the task to always follow Miss Fia.
“Tell him | don't need a tail.” Fia entered the hotel with her children after she finished speaking.
The chauffeur hesitated momentarily before calling his boss.
Lucifer said helplessly, “Listen to her. Go and do what you need to. You don't have to follow her anymore.” “Very well, Boss.”
Lucifer massaged his temples as he muttered to himself, “Her temper is becoming worse.” Fia waited till the chauffeur left before leaving the hotel again.
She ‘spent money to hire a car and prepared to move her luggage to a house she bought in the capital.
Before getting into the car, Irene said with a difficult look on her face, “Mommy, | want to pee.” “You got a lot of pee and poo,” Adrian complained, but felt heartache for his baby sister. Mommy, children can't hold pee otherwise their tummies will burst. Let Irene go to the toilet.” Fia replied, “Alright. I'll bring your sister to the washroom. Do you want to come along?” Adrian shook his head. “Il won't go. I'll wait for you all in the car.” “Alright.” Fia was not worried about her son. Under Lucifer’s
guidance, her smart son was not the same as ordinary children.
Under normal circumstances, no one would be able to take him away.
Fia brought his sister to the washroom and Adrian hugged the body pillow in the car, thinking of resting when he suddenly saw a huge figure outside.
That person was like an old man with a cane, walking slowly.
Chapter 1109 “How pitiful!” He sighed.
The hired driver found it funny and asked, “Who's pitiful?” Adrian pointed at the man in front. “That uncle is so young and he’s already using a cane, like an old grandpa.” The driver took a look and said, “I reckon he’s a lame man.’ “I can tell. That's why | said he is pitiful. He is about the same height as my dad. My dad is amazing. He can kill a tiger with a single blow!” “Hahaha, kid, don't exaggerate when showing offt Nowadays, when we see tigers, we will be scared to the point of sh*tting or peeing our pants. Who would still dare to fight one?” “It's true!” Adrian was a little angry. “You don't believe me! ‘When my mom returns, ask her!” The driver turned his head back to ask in curiosity, “Your mom is quite
pretty. Your dad should be quite handsome too, right? Otherwise, how could you be born so good- looking?!” “That's right! My dad is very handsome!” Adrian's big eyes blinked. “However, my dad doesn't let me tell my mom that he took off his mask..." Adrian stopped because he saw the man in a cane fall down.
He frowned and muttered. “How pitiful. The lame man fell down. No one is by his side.” The driver took a look. “Ignore him. He'll get up on his own.” “How pitiful!” Thinking of how when he or his sister fell, their mother would carry and they would be happy! them up This guy looked really pitiful! Therefore, he got out of the car and ran toward the lame man.
“Good evening, Mister.” He ran to the lame man’s side with his short arms and legs, helping him pick up the cane, placing it back into his hands.
and Conrad tried to get up with a foot but his cane fell again. He wasn't expecting a little boy to suddenly appear and it warmed his heart.
He looked at the little boy with his dark big, black innocent eyes. So innocent that it made him feel dirty! He did not know why he had such a feeling.
“Mister?” The boy was about to get into the car again when he noticed the lame man staring at him in a daze and the cane fell to the ground again.
Conrad stared at the little boy and asked, “Who are you?” The little boy stood straight. “I am...”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe instantly shut up, remembering that his mother had instructed him not to talk and simply reveal himself to strangers.
“I'm just a passerby. | saw you fall down so | came over to help.” Conrad stared at the little boy in silence, looking at his big black eyes, thick eyebrows, straight nose, and red lips.
He was fair and clean, and round, like a meatball.
However, for some reason, he found this child to be a little familiar? Did he meet him in a dream? Or did he see him in some kind of children’s magazine? Or was he a child star? “Mister, hold your cane well. Don't fall down again.” Adrian stuffed the cane into his hands. and prepared to turn around and return to the car.
Conrad casually grabbed his arm. “Where are your parents?” “What do you want to do?” Adrian was instantly on guard.
Could this be the legendary human trafficker? Intentionally falling to gain his pity? Then take advantage to snatch him away? He secretly clenched his fist and wiggled his right leg, prepared to leap and kick him in the nose! Let him have a nosebleed! “Adrian!” a woman's anxious voice rang out.
Conrad's body froze. It was as if he was drenched in warm water when he was feeling cold and his entire body felt comfortable.
He looked at the woman who was wearing a cap and sunglasses, desiring to see her face.
Fia’s attention was all on her son and she did not notice the man.
She pulled her son and brought him to her side, sizing him up as she asked, “Why did you get out of the car?” “Mommy, I'm fine. | saw this mister whose leg is a little inconvenienced, so | came to help. him out.” Adrian gave his mother a silly smile, appearing extremely adorable.
“Next time, don't mind these matters!” Fia did not look at the man and immediately started reprimanding her son in front of him. “Adults don’t need any children’s help. Even adults can't do it, what more a child. Those asking for your help are all cheaters, got it?”
Chapter 1110 Conrad, who was labeled a cheat, was stunned.
How did he end up being a cheat? He didn't call the child over! It was the child who came running over! “Mommy, this mister is a lame,” Adrian muttered softly.
Fia replied, “Who knows whether it's true or false?!” She was a little angry as she looked at the man her son labeled lame.
If not for wearing sunglasses, her trembling eyes would have been noticed by Conrad.
She stared at Conrad as all the messy things of the past came rushing back to her and hatred overflowed! Her hand grabbed the dagger at the back of her waist.
“Mommy, this mister isn't a cheat. | can tell.” Adrian sized up
Conrad in detail and looked at him pitifully.
Conrad frowned. Although he could not see the girl's entire face, nor could he see her eyes... He felt that something was not quite right. This woman had murderous intentions toward him. He reckoned that she was worried about her soon, and thought that he was acting lame to kidnap and sell him off! “Mommy.” Adrian noticed his mother reaching for the dagger and grabbed her other hand.
Fia lowered her head, trembling. Looking at her innocent son, her messy thoughts were pulled back to reality.
“Adrian, you should not have gotten out of the car.” “Mommy, don't get angry. We'll go back to the car now!” Adrian really felt that the lame mister was really pitiful to have also been misunderstood by his
mommy.
Mommy loved him and Irene. Hopefully she wouldn't Kill the pitiful lame mister in a moment of anger.
No one understood their son like a mother. How could Fia not understand her son's kindness? The person before her was Conrad. How did he become lame? Out of curiosity, her gaze landed on him and saw the cane in his hand.
She frowned and found it a little unbelievable.
Her gaze landed on his legs. She saw how his right leg clearly was not straight like his left and he was entirely dependent on the cane to keep him up.
‘When she stabbed him, she did not injure his leg.
Could it be his enemy who had injured him? “Your leg...” Her voice turned hoarse without her control.
Conrad frowned, wanting to see her eyes through her
sunglasses.
Why did this woman's voice make him feel like his blood was pumping? These five years, even Felicity had never made him feel like this.
Furthermore, this foreign lady sounded a little like Felicity.
Felicity’s voice was more crisp, while this woman's voice was laced with coolness.
Cool yet with a hint of weakness.
It was a very melodious voice that made him hooked. If she became a broadcaster, she could charm everyone.
“Broke it in an accident. After surgery it couldn't recover and it's a hidden problem now.” He, who has always been cold toward others, could not help but say that to the woman.
Fia tilted her head, her feelings complicated.
“Must be retribution, huh?” Conrad stared at her speechlessly. “It's our first time meeting.
Why do you have such great enmity toward me?” “Hehe.” Fia sneered as a wicked thought appeared in her mind.
She wanted to take off her sunglasses and let him take a good look at who she was.
She had injured her face in the training. When Lucifer helped treat her, she herself requested for surgery.
She looked different from the past. Her eyes and face shape have changed. Her fair skin had changed from white to wheat.
If she took off her sunglasses, he shouldn't be able to recognize her, right? “Mommy, let's get into the car. Don't make Irene anxious!”
Adrian felt that his mother’s mood was getting worse and pulled her toward the car.
“Wait!” Conrad's heart seemed to be pinched by something as he pounced forward to take off Fia's sunglasses.
