Chapter 416
Conrad stared at Fia in confusion.
During these days, he would always help her wear her clothes. While she would be embarrassed every time, she didn’t refuse.
But after becoming closer, she refused.
However, he realized she was suddenly more alive than in the past. She was not like a robot anymore.
Fia didn’t hear his voice and asked, “Have you flipped the clothes?”
“Fia, I’m your husband.” Conrad’s brain began to speculate the reason for her sudden refusal and realized why. “Doing things for you is a husband’s duty.”
Fia was suddenly stunned as if a firework exploded in her heart.
Conrad bent down and held Fia’s face in his hands.
“Fia, you’re not garbage. Don’t think of yourself like that.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFia felt like her most embarrassing moment had been shown to the public in that instant. She had nowhere to run but to pounce into his arms.
Conrad’s heart was heavy. He suddenly realized that the girl before him had always been cautious.
“Are you afraid of me?”
Fia shook her head in his arms.
“Then why are you being so careful even since you were little?”
Fia could only mutter as she buried the pain in her heart, “I was worried you’ll hate me.”
Conrad’s heart felt more than heavy. There was also bitterness and even more guilt.
Just what kind of a man was he in her mind to make him that careful since she was little?
“I’m not saying that you look fierce. You’re very good-looking!” Fia quickly explained.
Conrad didn’t say anything and simply pulled the blanket around her away and helped her wear her clothes.
“It’s just that you look like you’re the type that’s hard to get along with. I was worried that you’d hate me if I were too forward!”
As Fia explained, Conrad was stunned, and he remembered Esme.
Ewould always act gentle and speak little. Had Fla misunderstood and thought he liked girls like that?
“Fia, you don’t have to be so careful in front of me. All you need to do is to be yourself.
“Be myself?” Fia gave it a thought. “Then, my personality angry, and I’ll fight back.”
“ght be a bit rough. I’ll argue, I’ll get
There had always been a small beast inside of her. However, she didn’t dare to let it out.
Conrad helped her with her clothing and combed her hair, his eyes becoming softer.
“It’s fine. I have a bad temper too. We’re meant for each other.”
Then, Fia said, “But don’t people say that opposites attract? Gentle and active, good and evil?”
“We’re the ones that decide whether we’re meant for each other,” Conrad said as he picked her up again like a princess.
“Let’s go down and have dinner.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFia nodded, and the image of him carrying her like a princess appeared in her mind. There seemed to be warmth entering his mind, and it didn’t feel that cold anymore.
After Mrs. Whitley finished making dinner, he was just going to call the two of them and then saw Conrad carrying Fia down the stairs.
She smiled and said, “Sir and madam, dinner is ready.”
“Alright,” Fia looked at Mrs. Whitley as Conrad carried her. “Thank you, Mrs. Whitley.”
“There’s no need to thank me! I’m paid a salary!” Mrs. Whitley smiled, walked to the dining room, and began plating the dishes. Remembering her son Silas’s words, she worked even harder.
Night descended, and Conrad held the woman in his arms even tighter.
After the sky brightened, it would be Victor’s marriage. Once Eileen had her freedom, would Fia really stay by his side?
Remembering their ttogether last afternoon, he looked at the sleeping woman’s face in his arms under the night light.
He whispered, “I wonder… Will you kickaway as soon as I help Eileen? And that this is just you baitingto do it?”
He held the woman in his arms even tighter as he smiled, darkness surfacing in his eyes.
He mumbled obsessively, “I won’t let you leave me. Even if you were to die, you would die by my side.”
He didn’t tell anyone that there was fear in his heart after Ehad died.
A fear about Fia.
