Chapter 414
Fia’s heart kept on thumping and she wanted to pull her hands out of his grasp. Conrad held them even tighter.
“Fia, we’re husband and wife. We should be honest with each other.”
“But how?” She frowned, and the sorrow clouded her sightless eyes. “I explained to you so many times but you
never stood by my side. How can you tell me to be honest? I wouldn’t dare, would I?” Fia smiled bitterly and said,
“Now that Esme is gone, maybe someone else will appear. If I were to be honest with you, and tell you why I’m
unhappy, are you sure that you can still stand by my side and make me happy?”
Conrad felt even guiltier when what happened in the past appeared in his mind.
He held her hands tighter. “I can do it!”.
Fia bent over slightly until her forehead hit his.
“I believe that you can’t, Conrad Maxwell. I can’t believe you like how I naively did in the past. I believed that you’re

Conrad felt like his heart was being stabbed. Her words were like a knife cutting into his heart. She once treated
him as her husband and depended on him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“How could I have told you that?” Fia’s tone became cold. “You have someone you like. If I had told you all of that,
you would have only thought worse of me, right?”
Conrad remained silent as he couldn’t argue.
“Conrad, let’s not talk about the past. Let’s not talk about the future. Because they were all dreams.”
Fia tried her best to pull her hands away but still he didn’t let go. She was getting agitated. “You’re hurting me!”
“I’m sorry.”
Once her hands were free, Fia quickly stood up and took a step forward but she ran into Conrad’s chest instead.
She cursed in her mind and slammed his chest.
“Move away!”
Conrad looked at her pouty lips. They were quite seductive.
“What are you doing? You…” When she felt the man’s breath close to her, Fia wanted to run, but there was
nowhere to run. He gave her a kiss, and Fia could only gasp for air as her heart ran wild.
“Fia…” Conrad’s hand stroked her back, his voice attractive and low.
“Can you feel it? I love kissing you.”
Fia felt like she was going to vomit her heart out from it thumping so fast.
The other hand of his slowly went upward from her waist to her heart.
“Your heartbeat is so fast… You like it too, right?”
Fia gritted her teeth and said nothing. She was afraid that her voice would shake and reveal the secrets that she hid
deep inside of her to him.
“Fia…” Conrad held the woman in his arms, her empty heart slowly being filled.
“I confirm that I like you. I want to have a harmonious life with you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer tears rolled down. Fia couldn’t be so tough anymore.
This was what she wanted in the first place, right?
She raised her hand to touch his eyebrow. “Are you for real?”
“I won’t lie to you.”
“Why?” She touched his thick brow, and his handsome face appeared in her mind. “Why do you like me?”
Conrad caught her hand and put it on his throat.
“You’re already in my heart in our few years of marriage. I’m the one that didn’t realize it sooner.”
Fia could feel his throat churning, and her heart began to burn.
After Eileen got her freedom, she had promised to be his forever wife.
But she didn’t want to waste her time in a loveless marriage.
But she also didn’t want to give up on the boy from the past. She didn’t want to break her promise
to him.
The separations were all forced. A choice that was made when there was no choice left.
If he responded to her love, even if they had to struggle a lot in their lives, she was willing to do it. But she was
scared that he didn’t love her and wasn’t loyal and honest toward her.
