Chapter 464
An outstanding and charismatic man could attract the attention of any woman by just standing still.
She could understand it.
But as his wife, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
She would want to bare her fangs and tear them apart with her
claws.
She would never be as cheap and weak as before anymore and
let others attack and harm her first.
“Do you think I’m starting trouble out of the blue?”
When Conrad saw how sorrowful she was, he massaged her
eyebrows.
“Did you know, Fia? After I discovered the truth, I’m tormented
inside.”
“Why?” Fia asked. She couldn’t understand why. She wanted to see the expression on his face, but she couldn’t see
anything
He pressed the center of her forehead with his finger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You’re too kind. You didn’t know how to counterattack. That was why you suffered so much.”
Fia’s eyes moved as she wasn’t feeling that comfortable inside.
Wasn’t that the truth?
Every time she faced Esme’s provocation and traps, she couldn’t
fully retaliate..
But it was all him, wasn’t it?
She didn’t dare to retaliate, as she was worried that he would think that she was a venomous woman. She didn’t
dare to attack her directly, worried that he would misunderstand the situation.
Because she loved him too much. She cared for him too much. She cheapened herself, likening herself to the earth
and dust he walked on.
“Fia, do what you just did from now on. You have my support.” Conrad held her hand tightly. “Protecting yourself
and what is yours in advance isn’t wrong.”
He was much more worried that she would become as close as sisters with Annie because of Annie’s relationship
with the Parker household.
That she would side with Annie if something happened.
Fia’s rejection of herself didn’t disappear because of Conrad’s consoling.
She pulled out her hand that he was holding and said, “I’m
sleepy. I want to take a nap. Once Mrs. Whitley is here with the food, wake me up.”
“Sure.”
Fia closed her eyes. She really did feel tired and fell into slumber
after a while.
Time slowly passed. Conrad was sitting at the side, on his phone as he worked.
After an hour had passed, Silas came with his mother. The two of them were both holding things.
Mrs. Whitley was holding their food that she had packed, and her son was holding a package.
“This package was sent to the mansion, sir. I brought it along since I picked my mom up.”
“Fia’s?”
“No, it’s for you.”
Fia had just woken up. She didn’t open her eyes.
Conrad took the package. It was less than eight inches long and wide. After opening it, he frowned.
There was a picture. He had seen it in Fia’s photo album.
Him, her, and Esme.
It was a very old photo.
Silas looked and his chest tightened. “Who sent this?!”
How dreadful!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad glanced at Fia, who was laying there. It was his birthday.
Did she send it? Why?
Mrs. Whitley sensed that something was wrong but couldn’t tell why. She said weakly, “I’ll wake the madam up for
dinner first.”
“Sure.” Conrad got up and threw the package into the bin, and
went to the toilet.
He glanced at the photo and took out his lighter. He burned it.
Once it was almost all burned up, he threw it into the toilet and
flushed it.
Too many things had happened today and Conrad was feeling very confused.
He washed his face with cold water and looked at himself in the
mirror.
Had he made a mistake somewhere lately? Why did she believe that he still missed Esme?
Was that why she sent the picture to him under an anonymous name?
“Silas, you and Mrs. Whitley take care of Fia here. I’m going back for a minute.”
Fia frowned and didn’t know what was happening. Before she could react, Conrad had already left.
Mrs. Whitley and Silas exchanged a glance. They both felt that things were getting out of hand.
Mrs. Whitley then said, “I made a mistake. Mr. Maxwell is going home to pick up some fresh clothes for you.”
Fia didn’t say anything but her heart sank.
