Fia asked worriedly, “What was it? If you can’t get past it, perhaps you can tellabout it, and I can help you think of something.”
Britney took Fia’s hand and smiled warmly at her, but there was a trace of coldness in her eyes.
“Fia, do you think there are men in this world who are sincere?”
“Britney, have you been hurt?” Fia asked, looking sideways at the girl and she wished she could see her expression clearly.
“Yeah, I’ve been hurt,” Britney said, looking into Fia’s eyes as she started telling the real Britney’s story to ensure her act was perfect.
“Our family was close to the Halls, and I followed Peter around as a
kid. I also went abroad after middle school for him. Although he treatedlike a sister, he wasn’t really good to me. He knew I had feelings for him, but he never responded to them.”
“Maybe it’s because his mind is always on his work,” Fia said, trying- to understand where Britney was going with this.
Britney sighed and laughed bitterly. “Let’s not talk about this anymore.

Fia froze slightly before she smiled warmly and replied, “I hurt my head.”
She didn’t want to say much. She wasn’t the type to tell others about the bad things she experienced. She preferred to keep the bad things in her past inside and didn’t want to tell them to every person she met.
“Does your husband love you?”
“I would think so.”
“Then, why did he let you get hurt?”
Fia felt Britney’s innocent tone hit her right in the heart.
The girl moved forward to hug Fia and lamented. ‘It seems like you’ve also been hurt. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up your sad past.”
“Britney…” Fia felt her heart ache for the younger girl as she realized that Britney also suffered from unrequited love for Sally’s brother for years.
She carefully said, “Actually, if we get hurt because of a man, it’s our own fault for being so infatuated with them. When you like someone, you don’t think about other things too much.”
“Really?”
“You really like Sally’s brother, right?*
Britney’s smile faltered. “I guess so… I do like him a lot.”
“Then, does he like you?”
“I guess so,” Britney replied, but the image of Conrad’s handsbut cold face floated into her mind. I’m sure he does.”
They were each other’s first love, so how could he not have liked her before?
Fia thought that was true if Peter didn’t like this girl, why would he want to return to the country when he heard she was here?
Britney didn’t want to continue this topic. She really couldn’t take it anymore, and even as a fake, she didn’t want to talk.
“Fia, you should bring your husband next twe hang out.*
Fia was a little embarrassed. “He’s rather withdrawn. I’m afraid he won’t come.”
“Why not? You can’t see. If he loves you, he should be with you to care for you.”
“I’ll ask him next time.”

Fia was a little touched by the joy in Britney’s tone.
“It would be good to get him two more nice friends.”
Jason was a good man, and Fia hoped Conrad would becfriends with him.
Sally’s brother shouldn’t be too bad either.
Mockery flashed across Britney’s eyes, but she pretended to be delighted as she held Fia’s hand.
“Fia, I can be friends with you too. Do you like a friend like me?”
Fia gently replied, “I’ll try my best.”
“You must! I’ll wait for the day you seeas a good friend!”
Not far away, Tiger watched the two women sitting together. They chatted and laughed about something, and it looked like they were having a good time.
After he received Conrad’s message, he took a picture and sent it to him.
“Sir, in response to Mr. Parker’s dirty trick, will you return the favor?” At this moment, Silas was discussing work matters with Conrad.
