Chapter 1118
“Watch your mouth! He’s my son. If I need something, I’d ask him directly. He will definitely answer to my whim.”
Beryl responded with a gentle smile, “Now be a dear and wait downstairs. I’ll go help Conrad down.”
Then, without giving Silas a chance to retort, she went upstairs. She needed to test Conrad to see if he had
remembered anything.
She was now finally living a luxurious life again due to her son’s memory loss. He would listen to whatever she said,
and would do whatever she asked of him. She could not have this all taken away from her!
Silas furrowed his brows as he glared at Beryl ascending the stairs. This old witch must be scheming something
again!
Just as Beryl was about to knock on Conrad’s door, Conrad opened the door and walked out in a full black suit.
Standing with the support of his cane, Conrad took a long look at his mother before asking, “Do you need
something?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBeaming a gentle smile at him, Beryl wiped her hands on his coat, pretending to help him do some dusting.
“Conrad, you’re so handsome. It’s such a waste for you to just wear black. You should wear something with cheerful
color. I bet you’ll get many girls falling for you if you wear something lighter in color.”
Conrad looked at her silently. He had heard his mother say something similar to him many times, like she was a
mother who was smitten by her own son’s good looks.
Yet, somehow, he felt disgusted by her today.
“Do you need something?”
Sensing her son’s cold attitude, Beryl looked at him and spoke in a timid tone.
“Son… Did I do something to upset you lately?”
“…” Conrad squinted before answering, “No.”
“Then why are you treating me so coldly all of a sudden? Tell me, Conrad. Have you remembered something?”
Beryl asked as she stared at Conrad nervously.
Conrad shook his head and said, “No, I haven’t. And I don’t need to remember anything.”
After he woke up, he would dive into work. That was his schedule every day,
Silas and his other underlings also told him that his day-to-day life had always been this monotonous and boring.
There was nothing in his life other than work, work, work.
The only thing he found peculiarly weird was that his mother had told him that he and Felicity had grown up
together. Yet, Silas told him that the Maxwells and Parkers were close, and he and Felicity were only acquaintances.
Still, he found himself attached to Felicity’s voice. He thought… perhaps Silas did not know him as much as his
mother.
Beryl said, “Conrad, I’m just concerned for you. Please don’t be upset with me.”
Conrad nodded before checking his watch. “It’s getting late. I need to go to work now.”
“Alright, I’ll help you down the stairs.” Beryl stepped forward to hold her son’s arm.
Instinctively, Conrad wanted to evade her. However, he allowed her to support him after seeing how careful she
was in treating him, not wanting to hurt her feelings.
Tired of waiting, Silas went upstairs to get his boss. Seeing Beryl supporting Conrad to the stairs, Silas impatiently
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgrabbed his boss’s arm from the old lady.
“Thank you for your help. I’ll take it from here.”
After getting into the car, Conrad asked puzzledly, “You seem wary around my mom. Is something wrong?”
Silas took a glance at the Maxwell’s Old Residence and fired up the engine. “I’m loyal to you. and you only, sir. So,
I’m always wary around people other than you.”
Conrad looked at Silas intently and asked, “Are you hiding something from me?”
“Of course not, sir. As I said, I’m loyal to you only. It’s just that I do not support the idea of fulfilling Madam Beryl’s
every whim.”
Conrad frowned. “Silas, she’s my mother. Is it wrong to make my mother happy?”
Silas let out a sigh and said, “Her demands are getting out of hand. She even asked you to bring business to the
Starlings.”
“She’s my mother. Is it wrong to help my mother’s family?” Conrad felt that Silas was acting really strange today.
Silas, on the other hand, did not know how to explain it to his boss. If Beryl had been treating. his boss well from the
start, he would have no qualms with repaying her. However, this
mother of his only began to treat him well after he lost his memory.
“Sir, could we talk about something else?” So, he decided to change the topic.
