Chapter 694
Fia frowned, ignoring Conall’s words of it being “a great day of rejoicing”. She merely replied with a stern look,
“Conrad’s stomach is not in a good condition and you have also just been discharged. It is not suitable for you two
to have wine.”
“It’s the first time I’m having a meal with my son-in-law. How can there not be wine?!” Conall was a little sad.
Fia frowned even harder as she said coldly, “If you want to drink wine, then there is no need to have this meal!”
Conall looked at Fia in shock, momentarily unable to react.
Having lived to his age, there had never been anyone who dared to speak to him like this.
Conrad saw that Fia’s attitude was cold and harsh, so he suggested, “Why don’t we have some rice wine instead?”
Fia glared at him with a stern look. “What did you promise me?”
“Fermented rice. It’s sweet,” Conrad explained.
The waiter by the side said with a smile, “Mrs. Maxwell, Mr. Maxwell is talking about the fermented rice used to

Fia pouted awkwardly. “If it doesn’t contain alcohol, you can bring some.”
“Alright, do you want to add some sweet dumplings?” the waiter asked considerately.
Fia was just about to say that it was not necessary, but Conall spoke up before she did. “Yes! Sweet dumplings
represent getting together. They must be added!”
Fla was a little speechless as she swept a glance at him, her heart going, “Who wants to get together with you!”
Conrad said, “Quickly serve the dishes.”
“Alright.” The waiter went to urge the kitchen staff.
When all the dishes were served.
Conall stared at the dishes on the table and he complimented, “There’s meat, vegetables, and even soup. All of
them taste just right and are very nutritious!”
Fia swept him a glance but did not say a word.
“Fia, all these were ordered by you, weren’t they?”
Conrad replied, “She came over first in order to order the dishes.”
Conall gave Fia a thumbs up. “Not bad. All of them are what I like! The fermented rice wine in the sweet dumplings
of this restaurant smells good on its own, and they even have wolfberries to go together. It’s really quite good!”
Fia swept him another glance. She felt that he was trying hard to find things to compliment her on, like even her
fart would be a rainbow.
This made her feel quite awkward.
Therefore, she got up, took his soup bowl, and scooped him a bowl of sweet dumpling rice wine.
“Drink.”
‘Better shut your mouth and stop talking.”
Conall nodded, feeling touched, feeling as if there was a huge improvement!
Conall shouted at Conrad. “Lad, drink with me!”
Fia originally planned to help Conrad scoop a bowl as well, but he took the soup ladle.
With another hand, he pulled her back to her seat and said gently, “Just sit down. Let me do It.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had long arms, unlike her, who had to stand to make it easier to serve others.
Fia saw this and her awkward heart was warmed.
Conall nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad. You are not misogynistic! Those lazy habits of misogynistic men where they
expect to be served hand and foot are not desired!”
Conrad also swept him a glance. The always-cold CEO Parker who spoke little was now acting like a blabbermouth.
“What are you looking at? Drink up!” Conall raised his bowl at Conrad.
Conrad picked up his own bowl of sweet dumpling rice wine and clinked bowls with him.
Conall immediately looked at Fia. “Child, let’s cheers too.”
Fia frowned, not too willing
Conall looked at Conrad with a hint of begging.
Conrad drank a mouthful of the rice wine and said faintly, “There is ample time in the future. I hope Mr. Parker does
not make things difficult for others.”
“You’re right. I have been too abrupt.” Conall took a big sip. The light sweetness with a hint of wolfberry was a taste
he had not had in over twenty years.
