Their eyes met.
The firmness in his eyes beceven stronger.
Fia couldn’t understand. She was confused.
Why would someone who put so much emphasis on his career want to stop his plan of expanding to the capital city?
“Fia, to me, my family is more important than my career right now.”
Conrad turned and stepped forward toward Fia. “Do you understand what I’m trying to say, Fia?”
Fia took a step back uncontrollably. The burning sensation cagain.
“Conrad, do you even know what you’re saying?”
“I know.”
“You…” Fia shook her head hastily. “You don’t understand anything. The reason that you’re saying all of this is because of your own guilt. Or maybe because you’re used towaiting for you at home.” Conrad knit his brows. “I admit. Those might be sof the reasons, but that’s not the whole story.

“What’s tainted?” Conrad couldn’t understand what it was that Fia couldn’t let go of.
He was feeling somewhat anxious and quickly walked over and held her shoulders as his voice beclouder. “You think that all I did lately is an act? Can’t you feel that I’m changing? Can’t you see that I’m changing for you?”
Fia shook her head, getting misty–eyed as she repeated the sword. “Tainted.”
She refused to accept his guilt, his attempts to make amends, or his accustomedness to this. She wished for his rationale to match hers.
Love.
Nothing less than love could make her stay.
“What do you mean by tainted? What do you want!” Conrad’s emotion was starting to get the better of him.
Fia could feel the pain from her shoulders as he grabbed her, but she didn’t even frown. She simply said, ” You’re stopping your plans, right? That means you won’t be busy lately. Let’s complete the divorce paperwork tomorrow.”
She tried to make it sound as easy as possible.
She didn’t get any love from him in this marriage, so there was no need to reveal anything anymore before she had to leave.
Let him believe that this was all a mistake. That they were forced to marry by their elders.
Before she left, she wanted what was left of her dignity to be intact.
“What are you thinking again?!” Conrad pushed Fia, and when he saw that she swayed because he pushed
her, he quickly helped her up again.
“Don’t touch me!” Fia pushed his hand away. “I have had enough of you treatingso erratically!”
“Aren’t
you the one forcingeach time? Every tI wanted to talk with you, you would say something like this! You never gavea chance!”
“You…” Fia gritted her teeth. She couldn’t say anything anymore. Not her complaints. Not her hatred. Not. even how he and Ehurt her in the past.
He got used to being the center of the world. If he would beclike this every the got angry, it was pointless no matter what she said.
At the end of the day, he didn’t love her. That was why he couldn’t think from her perspective.
Perhaps…. He couldn’t love others more than he loved himself.
“Tomorrow at nine. Let’s go to the city hall.” Fia ended the conversation there. She immediately turned around and walked back into the guest room. She didn’t want to see him again. She would rather die of thirst than go down to have a drink.
Five in the evening. Mrs. Taylor knocked at the guest room door.

Fia opened her eyes. She couldn’t sleep, of course. She was only resting her eyes.
“No.”
“Dinner is ready. Cdown and have dinner.”
Fia wanted to say that she wasn’t hungry and didn’t want to eat. But when she remembered how her body was, she got up and opened the door.
“Where is he?”
“He went out. He said that there’s no need to wait for him for dinner.” Mrs. Taylor paused and asked, “Did you two fight again?”
“No. We just had a chat.”
Mrs. Taylor wanted to say something else. But when she saw how cold Fia was being, she had no choice but to give up.
At a certain bar.
