“I’m sorry.” Other than apologizing, he didn’t know what else to say to make her stop looking at him like
that.
“Ha!” Fia smiled coldly and walked past Conrad.
He chased after her, saying, “Fia, I’ll make it up for you.
A blue sports car drove over and stopped..
Eileen ran over wearing a hat and a mask.
“Fia…” Eileen looked at her in pain.
Fia saw her and smiled before her tears rolled down her cheeks.
Eileen caressed her before eyeing Conrad coldly.
“I can have her stay at my place for a few days, right?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad swallowed and nodded.
She would beceven more upset if she saw him, so it might be better if she stayed with Eileen for a few days.
“Fia, have sfruit.”
Eileen walked over with a plate full of cherries and sat down next to Fia.
Fia ate a few cherries and then glanced at the iced cocktail that Eileen was drinking. Her interest was piqued.
She then pushed her with her elbow. “Can you please not?”
“Haha! You want stoo?” Eileen laughed before saying helplessly, “You can’t drink now. Maybe after you’ve fully recovered. We can get drunk together then, alright?”
Fia swallowed her saliva before grabbing and eating a bunch of cherries.
She then remembered Eand Conrad.
“Eileen… Do you think he’ll help her again this time?”
Eileen held her by her shoulders and said, “If you can’t think this through, then don’t think about it.”
“After we left, do you think he went to the detention center and saw her?”
She couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Eileen finished the cocktail in one big mouthful and then held Fia’s face, looking at how distracted she
was.
“If you want to know, I can call someone and ask about it.”
Fia shook her head. “It’s fine. The more I care about it, the more upset I’ll become.”
She was really worried that once everything was revealed, Conrad would still choose to help Esme.
If he really did interfere, it would be a bit difficult for her to be convicted.
But… She was more worried that Conrad would ask someone to make a false confession in order to
protect Esme.
Despite being husband and wife, she couldn’t trust him anymore.
No. She had to stop thinking about it. She would becupset when she thought about it. It was so agonizing.
“Don’t think about it.” Eileen hugged her and patted her back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFia took a deep breath. She didn’t want Eileen to be upset like her. So, she took out three different designs from her bag in an attempt to change the topic.
“Eileen, you askedto help you design the dress for your award ceremony. I’ve prepared three. Take a look and see which one you like the most.
Eileen knew that she wanted to change the subject. So, she happily grabbed them and said, “Wow! They all look so pretty! I like all of them!”
“All of them?” Fia asked gently before saying, “Then you can keep them all!”
“All three of them look quite difficult to make and they must be made by hand. Do you think you can do it?” Eileen frowned as she gave it a thought. “I can’t make you burn the midnight oil just because of a dress. You can make whichever you want. I like them all!”
“It’s fine. I don’t have anything to do now either. I should be able to make all of them before the harvest festival.” Fia knew how to make clothing. Because of her love of design, she learned to make clothes back in university.
So that when she started her own studio, she could turn her design into reality!
Eileen disagreed though, worried that it would be too hard for her. However, she was also worried that she would think too much about it and becemotionally unstable, so she decided to ask Lyn to find two other people to help.
For the next six days, Fia stayed with Eileen and worked on the dresses together with Lyn and two others.
The work that Fia delegated to the three of them was very simple. However, she was able to work much faster.
The three dresses had already taken shape. She simply needed more tto finish the details. Fia made a simple calculation and estimated that she would be able to get it done before the harvest festival!
Ten days had passed in the blink of an eye.
“Mr. Maxwell, a call cin from the detention center, saying that Ms. Manning wishes to see you.”
“No.”
Conrad then said to Silas, “You don’t have to tellabout it anymore.”
For the past ten days, not only had he received and rejected calls from the detention center, he had also rejected all of Esme’s parents‘ requests to see him at the company every day.
