Conrad looked at Fia from the side. Despite the anguish in her heart, she still smiled so sweetly.
When he remembered how his mother cursed her in Esme’s room, he instantly felt shameful.
“Fia, letapologize to you on behalf of my mom.”
“What’s there to apologize about? Hasn’t she hurt you enough?” Fia sighed before turning to look at Conrad. “Let it go. It’s a good thing that you managed to see how she truly is earlier.”
Conrad was slightly taken aback. Was she comforting him?
“Speaking of which, what did you do last night? You didn’t cback,” Fia asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad frowned. So, she just wanted to find out what he was doing by comforting him.
He couldn’t be bothered with it anymore and said, “Investigating Eileen’s background.”
“And what did you find out?”
Conrad said nothing.
Fia stared at him and said, “I told you her parents passed away already, right? And that she grew up all on her own. I didn’t lie to you, did I?”
“What is there to investigate?”
“Don’t you think that her blood type is very strange?” Conrad’s expression was cold. “Only the Maxwells. have this blood type in the entirety of Gryphon!”
“What can the blood type prove? Eileen didn’t get any happier because of it. If you must persist to your own conclusion, then allowto make up a scenafor you.
“Eileen’s parents had already passed away a long tago. Even if her parents were someone else, they had never given her any joy or peace. There’s no need for you to turn your anger toward her. At least, if you’re still human.” Fia’s tone becextremely wintry when she reached the end of her sentence.
Conrad looked at her cold eyes. “You’re not like this in the past.“
“Like what?”
He said, “When you married me, you used to only havein your life.”
But now, he felt like she cared more about her friends. She even treated the doctors that she had just met better than him.
“That was in the past and people change.” Fia turned around and looked further away. “I’m someone very stubborn. When I married you, all I wanted was to live with you forever.
“And then, the day that Ecback, you toldthat you wanted a divorce. I knew then that I could. no longer treat you as the only thing that I cared about.
“I know that you’ve suffered a lot because of your parents. But… Whether it’s Eileen or Doctor Evans, they didn’t choose their parents. If you want someone to blame, blthose from the previous generation.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad bit his lips. He didn’t realize that Fia knew everything. He also didn’t realize that she wasn’t willing to be on his side at all.
“Are you saying all of this because of Jason Evans?”
Fla let out a laugh when she heard his anger. She couldn’t care less. “If you believe it to be so, then let it be so. What’s another misunderstanding between us after everything that has already stacked up this far?”
“Fia! Have you ever treatedas your husband?!”
“What about you?!” Fia was provoked by his words as she stared at him coldly. “Have you ever treated me as your wife during these three years of marriage?”
“I have!”
“Lies! If you had, you wouldn’t have askedfor the divorce so happily the day that Ecame back!” Fia put her hand on her stomach as her eyebrows knitted together. She could feel how overwhelming her disappointment was.
“Conrad… To be honest, I don’t think there’s a need for us to continue like this. From the moment you asked for a divorce, our relationship had already crumbled. How are we supposed to continue our marriage?”
Conrad instantly felt nervous as he grabbed her hands. “You want a divorce? What about the baby?”
“Yeah…” Fia chuckled with her head held high. “What we’re doing right now is for our baby.”
She wouldn’t acknowledge anything else.
