Stop It She’s Remarrying by Stellar Strands Chapter 302
Glad, Conrad turned around and looked at Fia.
When the sunlight bathed him through the window, it was like he had on a gold armor. Fia was mesmerized by the view.
“I know you’re worried about me, Fia.”
Conrad went back to her bedside and held her hand.
“You care about me, right?”
His heart jumped excitedly, joyfully.
He didn’t know why. He didn’t have this kind of feeling when he was dating Esme.
Fia looked at the joy in his eyes with confusion. She was first shocked and then she felt upset. She said coldly, “I knew it. Humans can’t feel joy and sorrow at the same time.
“The baby may have been inside of me, the baby is also yours. Why aren’t you saddened by it at all?” Conrad was taken aback, but still, he held Fia’s hand tightly as he bent down and looked into her eyes. “It’s not that I’m not sad. I’m simply worried. If I drown in my sorrows too, what will you do?”
Fia frowned. She couldn’t tell if he was telling the truth,
“Fia, we men might be more logical and can’t be led astray by our emotions easily, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t feel sad at all. When I knew that you had our child, I was overjoyed. No one could stop me from seeing you,” he said earnestly.
“I know you went through a lot of hardship, Fia. You can blame me for not protecting you, as even I blame myself. But… I cannot fall here. I have to become even stronger, only then can I protect you.”
Fia blinked and wanted to pull her hand away, but he held it even tighter.
Conrad remained silent and then decided to tell her about his situation and how the company was doing.
“In order for the Maxwell Corporation to go even further, I’ve already entered the market in the capital city.
“If I were to move our direction from Gryphon to the capital city, this would no doubt attract the ire of those who are in control of the market. They’ll scheme against me. If I don’t become stronger and calmer, how can I protect you in the future?”
Fia might be expressionless, but her brain was processing the information quickly.
She knew that he was very ambitious when it came to his career.
Although Maxwell Corporation was located in Gryphon, it could be considered one of the top ten. corporations in Fortuna.
However, even a layman like her knew that if the company could advance into the capital city, the company would develop even further.
“Then it’s an even better reason for us to get a divorce.”
Conrad was waiting for Fia to say something, but he didn’t expect that from her.
“Why?” He frowned. He felt helpless, as if he could never break through her defenses.
“Just like what your mother said, it’s time for you to marry a wise woman that can help you with
everything. As for me? My grandma and your grandpa had a good relationship before this so they could force you to marry me. Now, the two of them are gone. You’re free.”
“Fia, why aren’t you listening to a word I say?” Conrad had a bad temper and even he was almost at his limit.
Fia pulled her hand away when he was getting angrier, so that he wouldn’t touch her again.
“I’m doing this for you. I can’t help you with anything as your wife.”
Conrad took a deep breath and said, “Fine, let’s not talk about this. Take care of yourself.”
He then sat on the chair as he gave her a cold glance before kicking the chair and spinning it around.
Fia was speechless.
Looking at Conrad who had his back to the bed, she took out her phone and began to play a popular game.
Five players in a team, and there were two teams. All they needed to do was see which team could first topple the other team’s tower.
Conrad was dealing with some important documents that Silas had sent him when he heard the sounds from the game.
“Why aren’t you resting and playing games instead?”
“I’ve slept enough, so I want to play some games to pass the time.”
Fia focused her eyes on the screen of her phone, and her eyes darted from the mini map to the top part of the screen and back.
As an assassin, she needed to have great map awareness and be cunning enough to cut off the enemies from the back!
Very quickly, words began to appear on her screen.
First Blood!
Double Kill!
Triple Kill!
Quad Kill!
Penta Kill!
