Chapter 311
“Where to then?”
“Let’s take a walk near the hospital?”
“You want something to eat?”
“Yeah.”
Conrad chuckled. “You’ve never changed since you were little.”
“All girls like to snack, but they mostly give it up to maintain their figures,” Fia said as she remembered something.
“When I was in university with Eileen, we used to write reviews of a few hundred words long just so we could get
free and good food!”
Conrad was stunned. “I know about that.”
“Huh? How?”
“Esme complained to me about it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen the name popped out of his mouth, the smile on Fia’s face disappeared.
“What did she say?”
Conrad realized that he probably shouldn’t have talked about this.
But since he started it, he had no choice but to continue. He was not someone who would choose to avoid things
anyway.
He also knew Fia’s personality. If he chose not to finish the topic, she would get even angrier.
“She’s much more prideful and couldn’t stand what you two were doing.”
“True. That’s how she acts.” Fia felt that there was no need to be angry with Esme. She then asked, “What about
you? Have you ever looked down on what we did?”
“I didn’t.”
“Really?” Fia turned around and looked at Conrad as she tilted her head.
In order to let her see his expression, he lowered his head.
At that moment, Fia remembered something she had read on the internet. When a man truly loved you, he would
be willing to lower his head for you.
When she read those words, it reminded her of him.
She would see him off to work and wait for his return. She would tie his necktie for him and take his briefcase.
But every time she did that, she had to do it on her tiptoes as she was only 5 foot 3 while he was almost 6 foot 1.
In order to get closer to him, she would even force herself to wear heels that she didn’t like.
In the past three years, a lot of the footwear that she bought were high heels. She gave up on all the sneakers and
sports shoes that she used to wear.
But now, he was willing to bend down and even tilted his head toward her. She was pleasantly surprised. “Really. I’m
not lying to you,” Conrad said earnestly as he looked at her blushing face.
have a bad temper but I’m not someone who judges another because of their birth or quality of life.” Fia wanted to
argue with him but couldn’t find anything to argue against him.
Instead, she remembered Silas and his brother. They both managed to get his help despite their poor background.
“I put more importance on someone’s personality,” Conrad said as he walked over and stopped in front of the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwheelchair. He held Fia’s head so that she would look in front.
So she wouldn’t get tired out.
“Fia, the only person that I misjudged was Esme Manning. I still don’t know what happened even now.
“She was so kind and brave in the past.”
Fia gulped. What little joy she felt was gone again.
She looked at him coolly and said, “True. She’s kind and brave. Meanwhile, I’m cowardly and vicious.” Conrad
frowned, but before he could say anything else, Fia had already pushed his hands away.
“I want to go back.”
“Move!” Fia wanted to stand up from the wheelchair, to walk herself.
Conrad felt that he was making no progress. He wanted to get angry, but he immediately suppressed his temper.
He turned around to the back and pushed her in front.
“It’s so rare for you to see what’s outside. Don’t go back so soon.”
Fia wanted to stand up and leave the wheelchair, but he was pushing it so fast that she didn’t dare to move. She
was worried that she would accidentally fall.
“I apologize if I said something wrong,” Conrad quickly said as his grip around the wheelchair’s handles tightened.
He kept on wondering what he had said wrong. Why would she react in such a way?
