Chapter 752
“You know what I mean. It’s those characters in the movies that are mentally unstable. They tend to be very good-looking but viciously heartless!” Mary’s voice rose as she becincreasingly excited.
Still standing outside of the villa, Conrad suddenly lost the desire to go into the house after hearing what Mary thought of him.
“Ahem! No, he’s not like that.” Fia cleared her throat and explained, “Conrad only looks cool and distant on the outside. But he’s actually a really…”
“Fia, no need to pretend. He indeed loves you. That’s an undeniable fact. But men like these are very intolerant and paranoid. You must have led a tough life living with him.” Mary looked at Fia with teary eyes, feeling very sorry for her.

Conrad, who was standing near the entrance, quietly leaned against the wall next to the door to eavesdrop on them.
“Fia, you don’t understand. I feel so heartbroken after talking to William on video call! I regret sending him there so much! It’s only been a few days yet he’s already tanned and lost sweight!” Mary sobbed.

Fia’s head ached as she heard what Mary said. She turned to Sharon and asked, “Did you talk to your brother on the video call too?”
Sharon nodded. “Yeah!”
“Is he okay?”
“Mom’s right about him gaining a tan! He even looked skinnier!” Sharon paused momentarily before continuing, “But he looked more lively than before! He doesn’t even stutter as much as he did in the past!”
“Silly girl! What do you know about William’s stuttering?!” Mary poked on Sharon’s forehead and said, “You little brother was scared so much he forgot to stutter!”

Sharon was so confused. Sigh! The adults were so weird! It was her mom’s wish to have William go through straining so he could get healthier. That was why Uncle Conrad helped them to bring him to the camp. Now that William had gotten healthier, she blamed it on Uncle Conrad?
“Hey, Mary. Don’t get mad at Sharon.” Fia waved Sharon to her side before pulling her to sit next to her.
With her Aunt Fia protecting her, Sharon felt safer and braver to talk. Sure, Uncle Conrad always put on a scary face and looked like a bad person. But he was Aunt Fia’s husband, so there was no way he was a bad person.
So, Sharon mustered up her courage and opened her mouth. “Mom, although William gained a tan, it’s true that he looks livelier now. He can now speak clearly too. Uncle Conrad has indeed helped William to get better. How can you badmouth him in front of Aunt Fia?”

If he and Fia had a daughter, he would definitely take care of her and make sure no harm gets to her!
“You…! You don’t understand!” Mary lowered her head gloomily. “I spent months carrying him in my womb… He’s my lovely son! You can’t possibly understand how I feel!”
Sharon felt sad hearing that. “Hey, Mom! I’m your daughter too! Teachers in the school told us that having a daughter is like owning a treasure to parents. Because we daughters are thoughtful and caring to our mom and dad.”
It was true. Sharon was very thoughtful and attentive when it cto treating her mother. Yet Mary had only been focusing on William! It was so unfair!
Seeing Sharon’s dejected face, Fia pulled Sharon into her arms and gave her a warm, fuzzy hug. Then, she spoke to Mary. “Mary, I know you’re worried about William. But we talked about this. If we send him there, he will face schallenges. You can feel sorry for him. You can also accuse Conrad of being heartless. But you shouldn’t lose your temper at Sharon!”
“I… I… I didn’t mean it…” Mary wiped her tears away. “It’s just that… when I saw William so tanned and skinny… I could not help but to feel sad about it. Oh, I regret sending him there so much. I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to lose my temper like that… I…”
To be frank, she wanted to yell at Tyler so much for agreeing with this idea!
Fia smiled at her. “Mary, it’s about twe call Mr. Lane here, right?” It was tfor Tyler to fulfill his responsibility to soothe his lovely wife.
