Chapter 492
Early next morning.
Conrad and Fia both woke up at the same time and prepared to get out of bed.
Urgent footsteps could be heard coming from the outside.
Soon, the sound of knocking on the door was heard.
“Master Maxwell, Madam, there are a few people outside shouting to see the madam! They are the madam’s family!”
Conrad frowned. “Who?”
“They said that they are… Parkers from Lumenpolis.”
Fia instantly frowned. She felt like she had choked on something distasteful.
Finn had mentioned the matter a couple of times and she had very clearly indicated that she had no desire to acknowledge the
existence of her father. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She never expected that the other party would come knocking.
“What do we do now? They are outside and won’t leave.” Mrs. Whitley was at a loss.
Conrad got out of bed. “Mrs. Whitley, ignore them. Go and make
breakfast.”
“Al… Alright!”
Conrad took off his pajamas and put on a shirt and pants. He
turned around to look at Fia and saw her sitting on the bed with a worried look.
“Don’t be so unhappy so early in the morning. I’ll go downstairs and chase them away.”
“They are here to disturb people’s dreams so early in the morning. Even if we chase them away, they will find an
opportunity to stop me somewhere else.”
“Then what does my wife think we should do?” When Conrad said “wife“, his voice was gentler.
Fia’s face flushed, feeling slightly teased by him calling her ” wife“, and her bad mood subsided quite substantially.
“Let’s meet them.”
“Then shall I help you to wash up and change?”
“I can do it myself. Why don’t you go and wash up first?” Fia picked up her dress he had found for her and started putting it.
1. on.
Conrad stood by the side and looked for a couple of seconds. Seeing that she was getting dressed quite easily, he went off to brush his teeth and wash his face first. When he returned, he
would help her.
Fia put on her clothes, and arriving before the window, she squinted and opened the curtains to look down.
With her severe short–sightedness, she could only see quite a number of human figures downstairs, all clumped together in a blur, unable to tell what color of clothes they were wearing or
even if they were male or female.
She rubbed her own eyes and muttered softly, “When will my eyes recover?”
Later, she would need to see the doctor to have a proper check.
Conrad held Fia as they went downstairs and Mrs. Whitley immediately said, “Breakfast is ready. Will you all be eating now or will you be meeting the guests first?”
Fia said, “I’m hungry.”
Conrad got Mrs. Whitley to guide Fia to the dining hall to have breakfast while he went to meet the group of people first.
Outside the courtyard, a large iron gate carved with flowers stood erect, keeping the Parkers blocked outside.
They saw Conrad exit, and among them, one person asked, ” Conrad, where is Fia?”
Conrad looked at Finn, and coldly opened the gate.
“Take a seat inside.”
Annie lagged behind, lowering her head, fearful that Conrad
would notice her and kick her out.
She had intentionally lagged behind, sizing things up along the way. After entering the villa and seeing the simple yet elegant decoration, she really liked it.
She secretly felt that Conrad and herself had similar tastes and if they were to become familiar with each other, they should
have a lot of common topics to talk about.
If she became the person beside him…
Just thinking about it made her extremely excited, and all of the pores in her entire body were clamoring.
Such an outstanding, charming, and handsome man was someone worth her putting down everything to fight for!
“Where is Fia?” Finn asked agitatedly.
Conrad did not reply to him as his gaze turned slightly to the middle–aged man standing behind Finn.
He was Conall Parker, the CEO of the Parker Group of Lumenpolis.
He had once met this person at dinner when he went to Lumenpolis for work.
Conall was dressed in a sapphire blue suit, standing at a height of about six feet. His figure was maintained well and there wasn’t a single wrinkle on his face.
