Chapter 579
“Conrad, have you ever played with sand?”
Fla crouched down at the beach and looked at Conrad expectantly.
Conrad frowned and said, “Never.”
His frown became even deeper. Was she going to tell him to play with sand?
“Come.” Fia pulled his hand. “Let’s have some fun together.”
Conrad looked around them embarrassingly. There were plenty of people around them and there were those that
played with sand, but they were all children.
Shouldn’t adults play adult games?
“Quickly!” Fia urged him and pulled his arm.
Conrad consoled himself inside his mind and followed her lead.
“How should we start?”
“Wait a se.” Fia quickly used both of her hands to carry sand. All the sand was put together and quickly became a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsmall hill.
Conrad looked at her in shock.
He didn’t know that she could be so childish.
As she sweated, she brushed her face, caring little about the sand on her hands.
The small hill had expanded a bit more. She then commanded him, saying, “You’re stronger than me. Help me give
it a press, so that it won’t fall.”
“Sure.”
However, Conrad really was too strong. A hole appeared where her sandy hill used to be.
Fia was speechless.
Conrad frowned. He knew he made things worse.
“Sorry. Tell me what you want to do. I’ll help you.
“Stupid uncle!” Two young voices rang.
Fia turned around. It was the little boy that Conrad had just “bullied” not long ago and his older
sister.
“Hi! We meet again!”
“You’re so pretty!” The girl praised Fia.
And her little brother also echoed her, “You’re so pretty!”

“You are very pretty too. And you’re very handsome!” Fla brushed the sand on her hands away and pinched the
children’s faces.
And then, they forced Conrad away and formed an iron triangle together with Fia.
Conrad frowned and was going to dump the two kids away.
“So, you’re Mr. Maxwell.” The children’s young mother came over.
Conrad stood up. Now that the young mother knew who he was, she couldn’t help but take a step back. Especially
because of his height.
“My apologies for what happened just now. I hope you won’t let it bother you.”
“Mommy, Daddy said he won’t mind!” The girl turned around and smiled at Conrad. “My little brother bullied you
too, so come to my house with the pretty lady and have dinner with us together!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad frowned. “Why are you calling her pretty lady but calling me uncle?”
“Hehe, because she looks too young! Calling her a pretty lady suits her better, right?”
“Do I look very old?”
The girl looked at Fia, and then looked at Conrad.
“Yes. You look older than her.”
Conrad frowned and stared at the little boy.
He immediately lowered his head and looked away.
Fia chuckled and didn’t help him, and simply built a sandcastle together with the siblings..
“My apologies, Mr. Maxwell,” the young mother said carefully. “My daughter is just being straightforward.”
“So, do I look very old?”
The young mother looked at Fia and then at Conrad. She then replied honestly, “Your wife looks like she has just
entered university. Meanwhile, you look like an elite, successful businessman. There is quite a big difference
between how you carry yourselves.”
