Chapter 753
Sharon climbed up to Fia’s ear and whispered, “Doing that would make Dad miserable.”
“How miserable?” Fia whispered back.
“Dad says that Mom’s a drama queen. She loves to wail and make a scene.”
“Really? Then does your dad ever lose his temper with her?”
“No, he’d never do that. Instead, he would kneel to Mom and apologize. He would even slap himself. He’d continue
to do that until Mom stops crying.”
Their voices were so soft that only they could hear each other.
Fia was so surprised after hearing what Sharon said. She had a whole new perception of Tyler and Mary! What a
funny pair of couple!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo wonder Mary had such a weird preconception of Conrad. Conrad was so proud that he would never do that! Of
course, she herself was not that much of a drama queen like Mary.
Erm… Yeah! She was so much more thoughtful than that. Conrad was lucky to have her as his wife.
“Sharon! Were you badmouthing me?!” Mary stared at Fia and her daughter with her sad,
puppy eyes.
“No, no! You got it wrong.” Fia and Sharon shook their heads in unison.
“Hmph! I’m calling your dad! It’s all his fault!” Mary took out her phone and called Tyler. She shouted into the phone
as soon as he picked up. “Where the hell are you?! What? You’ve just departed?! You told me you departed half an
hour ago! Work! Work! All you know is work! Do you still remember that you still have a wife and daughter?!”
Fia and Sharon stared at Mary speechlessly as she scolded her husband through the phone.
A few minutes later, Mary finally had enough and hung up. She had finally calmed down. She scratched her head
and then… that gentle, lady-like smile was back on her face again.
“I’m so sorry, Fia. I lost my cool earlier and had to let out some steam.”
Fia nodded. “It’s okay. I understand. It’s important to let it all out sometimes. If you keep it in, you’ll get sick.”
“Indeed.” Mary then asked, “Then what about you? Does Mr. Maxwell comfort you whenever you get angry? Ah,
silly me… Mr. Maxwell is not the type that knows how to soothe his lover. It must have been you doing all the tip-
toeing around and soothing him, am I right?”
Fia thought about it for a moment before saying, “Well, not entirely. Most of the time, he’s the one who pacifies
me.”
Conrad nodded again. It was true! It was him who did all the work!
“Fia, you don’t have to put on a brave face in front of me. If he’s such a thoughtful husband, how’d you fall victim to
clinical depression? People who have depression are often abused and in distress for an unthinkable long time.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMary was genuinely worried for Fia.
“Sure, he might be powerful and wealthy but no one is above the law. If he’s treating you badly, you should tell me.
We can seek help from the police. If the police in Gryphon can’t help you, we can go to the police in Lumenpolis.
There’s bound to be someone that can help you!”
“No…” Fia felt so restless as she tried to explain to Mary, “He’s been really good to me recently.”
“That means that he treated you badly in the past, right?” Mary was so persistent in getting to the bottom of this.
Fia said, “No. It’s just that we had faced some complications and obstacles in the past. And we didn’t know how to
communicate effectively with one another.”
Conrad was nearly at his limits. He could not allow Mary to keep on yapping with his wife like that. If this went on, it
would have a bad influence on his lovely Fia.
When he was about to barge in to interrupt their conversation, a car screeched outside the villa. Then, in a blink of
an eye, Tyler got down from the car and approached the gates.
“Took you long enough.” Conrad walked to him and patted his shoulder. “You should go discipline your wife, Tyler.”
