Stop It, She’s Remarrying!

Chapter 496

An adorable figure curled up to a glob on the bed as rays of sunlight slipped through the window curtains into the room.

Conrad, having finished a phone call, walked into the room, got

on the bed, and laid his eyes on the glob on the bed.

After a while, she mumbled, “What time is it?”

Conrad glanced at his watch. “It’s past 10.”

She took a deep sigh after taking two seconds to recollect herself. “Oh well, that’s one morning wasted.”

Conrad scooted over to her and gently patted her head.

“It’s alright. Just lie down longer if you’re tired.”

Fia took a deep breath and hugged the hand that was patting her head.

“How about you laze with me on the bed for a while? After lunch, I’ll accompany you to the company.“.

“Sure.”

Conrad pulled away the blanket and cuddled with Fia.

This made Fia feel safe and comfortable, scooped into Conrad’s embrace, and she nudged her back firmly to his chest.

Conrad frowned and slightly moved back a little.

This position would stick them too close to one another–it was

too intense for him.

However, the lovely lady kept moving closer to him every time he moved away. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Having no choice, Conrad put a hand on her back, trying to stop her from sticking too closely to him.

“Fia, stop it.”

“But you’re not hugging me tight enough!”

Hearing this, Conrad stopped his resistance, as he had been doing his best suppressing his urges. Nonetheless, Fia still was able to feel that his body temperature was rising.

Finally understanding what was going on, Fia turned over and laid a finger on his chest.

“Conrad… Are you… turned on right now?”

”

The Adam’s apple on Conrad’s throat bobbed after hearing this.

Seeing this, Fia mischievously nudged over and planted a kiss. on his Adam’s apple.

Conrad pushed her down softly. “Fia, it’s okay. You’re not in a good mood right now.”

“And that is exactly why I want it now.”

Fia curled her hands around his neck and kissed his chin, all the

way up to his lips.

“I want to feel happy, Conrad.”

Her voice was so sweet that it tickled her man’s bones.

Annie arrived at the Foreign Affairs Department’s director’s office, thinking that she would have a chance to submit documents.

Barbara took a glance at her before continuing on with her work.

“Leave the documents there. I’ll have a look at them later.”

“Auntie, I want to…”

Barbara slapped her pen onto her desk with a soft thud and she gave Annie a cold glare.

“We are at work right now!”

Annie bit her lip. “My apologies, Director Thomas.”

“If you’ve got something to say, just say it.”

“My uncle went to the Maxwells to formally introduce himself as

Mrs. Maxwell’s father this morning. I went with him too.”

Barbara frowned. “So?”

“We did not get to meet Mrs. Maxwell.”

Annie paused with a saddened look on her face.

“I’m afraid that the incident earlier about the delivery package had strained Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell’s relationship. Could it be that they had a fierce fight? Was that why we’re not allowed to

meet her?”

Barbara squinted at her. “Annie, what exactly are you implying?”

“It’s almost noon and Mr. Maxwell hasn’t arrived at work yet.

You’re a director… So, perhaps you could go check on them? I fear that…”

“Annie Parker!” Barbara slapped her hand on her desk loudly.” You’re merely an employee. What do you care what’s happening in their personal lives?! Haven’t you learned your lesson from that delivery package incident?! Keep Mr. Maxwell out of your little head!”

“No, no! Don’t get me wrong.” Annie anxiously waved her hands. ” I’m just worried that their fight could escalate into violence at their home, where no one’s watching. Mrs. Maxwell is a fragile lady. There’s no way she could win Mr. Maxwell in a fist fight, not with her being blind and all that!”

Barbara gave Annie an inquisitive look. “How do you know they’d be fighting?”
