Chapter 593
Early the next morning, Fia opened her eyes but did not find Conrad by her side.
All this time, whenever she woke up, he would be in the room.
This was the first time she didn’t see him when she woke up.
Thinking about the slap she gave him the night before, she felt guilty and anxious.
She should apologize to him.
In the study, Conrad sat on the chair behind the desk with his body leaning against the backrest as he stared at the ceiling.
On the side, Silas was trying his best to give advice. “The hotel has been shady since the last person of the Lanes was in charge. Mr. Lane abandoned it because he wanted it to be clean. Sir, why is there a need for you to get involved again?”
Conrad pinched his brows. “Now, it is no longer a matter of whether I want to or not.”
He did not sleep the whole night, thinking about Fia’s questioning last night.
He had also roughly made out that the things of the past and the delivery of a dead rabbit were done by the same culprit.
He did not know who exactly it was, but he could no longer just wait for the person to take action again.
“Sir.” Silas’ tone was serious. “A small touch will affect the big picture. Those people look at the hotel as a way to launder money, and are not people who you can negotiate with.”
“Is Conall Parker awake yet?” Conrad suddenly asked.
Silas frowned. He understood his own boss’ character.
“Watch his side closely. If he awakens, let me know.”
No longer giving Silas the chance to talk, Conrad hung up.
Getting up and returning to the bedroom, he saw the person on the bed looking over carefully.
Their eyes met and Conrad’s lips lifted.
“You’re awake.”
“Yeah.” Fia bit the bottom of her lip. “Last night, so
“Did you sleep well?” Conrad interrupted her apology and walked over to the bedside, looking at her deeply.
Fia met his gaze, and it was as if the grievance in her heart found an exit. She pounced into his embrace as she hugged his waist tightly.
My emotions were in a mess last night. I didn’t do it on purpose. Conrad, I don’t want to think like that, but I just can’t control”
Conrad hugged her tightly. “Silly girl, I don’t blame you.”
“I’m sorry. Sob, sob, sob. Sorry!”
“Alright, alright, I really don’t blame you.”
Fia thought about the bastardly words she said last night.
Since she was blind, he had taken care of her without rest, taking her almost everywhere he went.
There were so many things going on in the company and every day he was already busy enough.
She should trust him. How could she doubt him and think that he had other women behind her back.
“Don’t cry. The moment Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley see you, they will think that I’m bullying you.”
Fia wiped her tears and said, feeling stuffy inside, “I’m going to wash up. Wait for me. We can go down to eat breakfast together.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
Conrad watched her enter the bathroom, took his phone, walked to the balcony, and made a call.
The other end picked up and he asked, “How’s your consideration going?”
“Mr. Maxwell, let’s talk again in the afternoon. I’m busy at the moment.”
“Alright.”
Tyler shook his head at his phone, picked up his son and daughter and smiled at his wife, Mary. Let’s go.”
Mary returned a gentle smile and approached him. “Why don’t you hand over our eldest for me to carry?”
“It’s fine.” Tyler avoided her hand. “In the future when I start to get busy, I’ll have to trouble you
with the two kids.”
The smile on Mary’s face froze for a moment, then she smiled even more brilliantly.
“Our children and I will be waiting for you every day.
“Sure.” Tyler smiled like a ruffian and leaned over to kiss Mary on the lips.
Mary pushed him lightly with her face red. “Don’t fuss about. The kids are here.”
“I’m kissing my own wife. What does that have to do with the two of them?”
Sharon covered her eyes with her hands. “Daddy is shameless!”
William learned from his sister and covered his eyes as well as he chirped, “Shame, shame, Daddy.”
