Chapter 143
Fia took out her jewelry box. Everything that Conrad gave her for the past three years was inside.
She rarely wore them. She snapped pictures of her pieces of jewelry and posted several sets on an
online second–hand marketplace.
She wanted to sell them. She needed to make the necessary preparations for her child and fight alone.
Even though Conrad didn’t block her card, she didn’t want to place her hopes on it.
Conrad came back and immediately ran toward the master bedroom.
Fia sat in front of the dressing table and stared at her own reflection with the dark eyebags in the
mirror.
Conrad said, “Fia, let’s talk.”
She looked at him in the mirror and said nothing.
Conrad walked toward her and stood behind her, putting his hand on her shoulder.
She frowned and hit his hand away.
“If you have something to say, say it. Don’t touch me.” Her tone was cold and filled with anger.

He pretended to not notice her attitude and spoke to her as gently as before. “I don’t want a divorce
anymore. This is my current stance.”
Fia was slightly stunned, but she said nothing.
She grabbed a lipstick and began drawing on a cotton ball.
She kept on thinking about why he was doing that.
“I’ve already talked with your mother. There’s no need for you to say something that is against your
own will for her anymore.”
“I really don’t want a divorce! I don’t have any other motives,” Conrad quickly said.
Fia snapped the lipstick in her hand.
She then threw the lipstick on the dressing table and glared coldly at the man in the mirror.
“What about my cousin, then?”
Conrad frowned.
“You said that you can’t be together anymore as you did in the past, but can you guarantee that you
won’t see her every time that she comes looking for you?”
Fia gripped her hands that were on the dressing table even tighter. She was… looking forward to his
answer.
if he answered that he wouldn’t respond to her anymore, she would be touched, she believed.
Once a woman loved a man, no matter how cheap it would make her, she would keep on giving up on
her dignity again and again.
For example… In this society filled with wickedness.
Some married men would say that they were single and tempt women into their trap.
Once the truth was out, the women would end up being homewreckers.
But for love, they would choose to forgive the men.
There were too many pieces of news like this.
“I can guarantee that if it’s not something important, I’ll ignore her,” Conrad answered after he gave it
some thought.
The Mannings only had one daughter. Something might happen to her.

And he was also partly responsible for the fact that she was almost raped by Victor’s men!
If he hadn’t gotten drunk and had kept a clear mind, he would have sent her home.
He then said with difficulty, “Please understand me, Fia.”
“Understand why you would lie to your wife so that you can stay together with your lover?”
She sneered. “So… you want both of us.”
Conrad couldn’t help but scratch his head, angered by her words.
He tried his best to maintain his calm and said, “That’s not what I meant.”
“What do you mean, then?”
“I’ll treat Esme as a friend, as your cousin. We won’t have any other relationship.”
Fia couldn’t say anything at all at that moment.
He didn’t think twice before giving that answer. It didn’t seem like he was lying.
A small voice in her mind reminded her not to get hurt again.
She then said, “Do you know what kind of deal your mom and I made?”
“Regardless, since you’re willing to deal with this in private, it means that you still care about our
marriage. That you still have a gentle soul.”
