Chapter 331
“What is it, Sally?”
“Jason Evans.” It was quite rare for her to call him by his full name as she stared right into those beautiful eyes of
his.
“Don’t make it harder for yourself. Let it go.”
The flesh on Jason’s face trembled very slightly as he said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
He quickly pulled away from Sally’s hands and walked away.
All Sally could do was to simply stare at his tall figure as her eyes turned red. “Why do I even bother?”
Conrad didn’t put the bags in the trunk in a hurry. Instead, he first opened the door to the passenger’s seat.
“Fia, into the car.”
Originally, Fia was thinking of sitting in the back seeing that they were going to divorce soon. But, she saw him
opening the car door for her with bags still in his hand.
Her heart was warmed up and she accepted it, now sitting in the passenger’s seat.

“Sure.”
Conrad maintained a cruising speed as the two stayed in the car in silence.
In the past, Conrad never felt that anything was wrong. But today, he felt everything was wrong.
He would glance at her every now and then. Only when he realized minutes later that Fia didn’t want to speak did
he break the silence.
“Doctor Evans has a break in between his surgeries. If you wanted to say goodbye, we could have waited.”
Fia looked at Conrad in surprise. “What did you say?”
How could someone with such a bad temper say something like that?
She even suspected that she was hearing things.
“I said…” Conrad repeated again patiently.
Fia looked at him as if she had just heard something impossible. “I was simply worried that you’ll start yelling at him
again when you see him and affect his surgery, so I chose not to thank him in person.
“Am I someone that unreasonable?”
“Aren’t you? Think about it for a second.”
Conrad’s expression was becoming somewhat unnatural as he tried to find some excuses. “That’s because of his
identity. That’s why I don’t like him.”
“Do you think that he had a choice in that?” Fia paused, and she realized that she needed to make things even
clearer.
“Not to mention that the reason your parents have such a bad relationship is not only because of your father
alone!”
Conrad gritted his teeth. If it was someone else that said this, or if it was the Fia from the past, he would have
argued in anger.
Even though he knew that his mother wasn’t blameless.
But that was not the excuse that he could use to abandon him!
“I know that it’s difficult for you if we keep on talking about this and I’m not saying that it’s right for him to abandon
you when you’re little, but the point is that we can’t use our own thoughts to look at the entire picture.”
Conrad gripped the steering wheel even tighter. “Can we not talk about this?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis tone was ice–cold. He was really enraged.
Fia knew that she had gotten on his nerves, and he was already controlling himself from stopping the car and
yelling at her. So, she quickly shut her mouth.
A few minutes passed and she cried out, “Hey, why didn’t you stop there? We’ve already passed the Koi Gardens!
“I need to go. Drop me off somewhere ahead!”
“Please don’t, Fia. At least until you’re recovered.” There was anxiety in his tone. “You’ve only managed to recover
somewhat. You can’t let all of it go to waste.”
Fia went silent.
“Come to my place. Mrs. Taylor will take care of you. It’s safer that way.”
Fia was touched, so she didn’t refuse.
When the car drove into one of the lavish mansion districts under the management of Maxwell Corporation, he
didn’t stop in front of their mansion. Instead, he drove past it and stopped at another.
“Did you go to the wrong mansion?” Fia looked at Conrad curiously. Could it be that he had been taking care of her
too much and he was too tired? And that led to him forgetting his own mansion?
“No, this is the one.” Conrad unbuckled the safety belt, got out of the car, and walked around to the passenger’s
side before opening the door. “Let’s go.”
