Chapter 1153
Conrad didn’t expose them. Instead, he started a new topic.
“Are you two in school?”
Adrian shook his head. “We’re going to one after the new year.”
Irene nodded. “My brother and I didn’t want to go originally. Daddy said that there’s no fun in school! But Mommy
wants us to go, and we don’t want her to be unhappy.”
Conrad gave it a thought and said, “Your daddy’s wrong, but your mommy’s right. Children need to go to school.”
Adrian and Irene frowned and looked at him, upset.
Conrad asked, “What is it?”
Irene then said, “You can’t say bad things about our daddy.”
Adrian nodded. “That’s right! That’s just not nice!”
Conrad was stunned. Before he could even think of a way to argue, the children had already run away.
The doctor smiled and said, “How can you speak about their father like that? Of course, they’ll get angry when it’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttheir father you’re talking about.”
Conrad answered honestly, “Children should go to school.”
The doctor laughed. “But they like to have fun. If they go to school, they have to follow the rules. No children really
like that.” Conrad was somewhat upset. When he saw that the twins had gotten to Fia, he didn’t give them another
look
Fia held their hands, one on each hand, and then happily asked, “What do you want to eat? I’ll take you there.”
Irene said, “I want steak!”
Adrian nodded. “Me too!”
“Alright, what else do you want to have?”
“Pasta!” the twins said together. “And dessert!”
While they weren’t that happy, a meal would make them happier!
Fia turned around and saw Conrad wallowing in loneliness and let out a sneer.
Conrad couldn’t say a word. Just what made her hate him so much?
After getting the call, Silas quickly made his way to the hospital. “How did you end up like this, Sir? You already have
a complication rising from your leg. If you don’t take care of it, it’ll only get even worse.”
“It’s fine,” Conrad said in annoyance and handed him the cane.
Silas took it and then helped him up. “Who attacked you?”
“No one did! You’re so annoying!” Conrad said as his temper flared.
“Fine.” Silas took his phone. “I’ll give Charles a call and get him to pay the hospital bill.”
“It’s paid for,” Conrad said. When he remembered Fia’s cold expression, however, he felt uncomfortable.
“Who paid for it?”
“Ms. Sia!” Conrad pulled his collars and said, “Next time, don’t buy a coat with tall collars for me again. It’s
strangling me!”
Silas was speechless. That didn’t count as a tall collar. It was only slightly taller than typical ones. It didn’t even
touch his
neck. He was in a bad mood and found everything offensive to his eyes.
Then, he remembered that he was staying on the floor above Ms. Sia. He couldn’t help asking curiously, “Sir, you’ve
met with Ms. Sia?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes.”
“Was she surprised that you’re staying in Aurora Residences too?”
“Ha. Surprise was an understatement,” Conrad said when he recalled how she looked at him. “She probably
suspected that I have a woman in the neighborhood.”
Silas didn’t dare to say a word.
It was obvious that his boss was interested in her, but if a man was being suspected of such things, a good woman
would automatically step away and wouldn’t give him another chance.
“Aurora Residences is developed by the Parker Group…” Conrad muttered. “How’s Conall’s condition?”
“Just like that,” Silas couldn’t say anything, worrying that he would suspect anything.
“Why did he suddenly give up five years ago?” Conrad remembered that Felicity told him that his father’s condition
had only worsened after he encountered something.
Silas then said, “Sir, that’s the Parker family’s issue. As an outsider, it is not appropriate for us to gather information
about it. Not to mention that… I think if you don’t have any feelings toward Miss Parker, you shouldn’t pay so much
attention to her familial matters.”
Conrad frowned. “I wasn’t worried about Felicity and the Parkers. I simply believed that Ms. Sia seemed to have
some kind of animosity toward me because of the Parkers.”
