Chapter 1134
Men were just so ridiculous.
Clearly, he had not gotten along with Conrad since young. But since he lost his memory, he was living like a puppet.
He actually started to pity him.
Clearly he could divorce Sapphire, yet because of Beryl’s threat, he gave up.
He thought since things could not go back to how they were with Eileen, maybe dying in this loveless marriage was
fine.
“Yeah, I just don’t,” Victor replied Eileen faintly.
Eileen smiled sarcastically. “Retribution.”
Victor looked at her in a daze. “That’s right. It’s retribution.”
Eileen immediately looked away and left in the elevator as if she was making an escape.
At the old residence of the Maxwells, in the study.
Conrad sat at the table, checking his emails on the laptop. He was just about to open a document when the image
of Fia and the two children appeared in his mind without any warning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe sound of a door knock rang out and he barked in frustration, “Who is it?!”
“Conrad, it’s me, your mother.” Beryl’s voice was gentle. “I noticed that you ate very little for dinner and brought
you some chicken soup. You are so tired. You need to nourish your body.”
Conrad pinched the center of his brows. “Come in.”
Beryl brought a bowl of chicken soup and carefully placed it on the table.
“Drink up. It won’t taste good after it gets cold.”
Conrad gave a “Yeah” in agreement, picked it up, and got ready to drink it.
Beryl stared at the bowl of chicken soup in his hands as a chilling light flashed through her
eyes.
“Mom, did you go to Felicity’s mother’s birthday banquet?” Conrad’s gaze was a little dazed as he stared at a spot.
“Of course I did. People were talking since you didn’t go.” Beryl said with a sigh, “You are quite suited to be with
Felicity. Her mother and I both hope for the two of you to settle down a little earlier.”
Conrad frowned and Fia’s face appeared in his mind once again.
“I don’t have that kind of feeling toward Felicity.”
Beryl was at a loss and asked, “What feeling?”
“I don’t miss her at all, and she doesn’t seem able to bother me.” Conrad thought of Fia and
his feelings were all over the place.
If he had not met the woman with such a horrible temper, he wouldn’t have even known that Felicity was very
ordinary to him.
Beryl immediately asked, “Didn’t you like her voice very much? For years, you would even go out on dates and have
meals together. You have never rejected her, right?”
Conrad looked at his mother and said faintly, “She is that bit different from an ordinary stranger,
and it’s all because of her voice. I met another woman, whose voice I miss even more and her face would even
suddenly appear in my mind. Besides her voice, Felicity’s face had never appeared in my mind.”
Beryl panicked and immediately said, “Drink up the chicken soup first. Once it’s cold, it will not be drinkable
anymore. I boiled it for very long.”
Conrad did not think much of it and finished it in a mouthful.
Beryl took the empty bowl and said gently, “It must be because you’ve been seeing Felicity for too long and are just
temporarily tired of looking at her. Actually the bottom of your heart sees her differently from other women.”
Conrad frowned. Since he awoke from the accident, he had never suspected any of her words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, after meeting Sia, he started feeling that things weren’t quite right.
“Is the woman you saw pretty?” Beryl saw that he was quiet. She pretended to have small talk, but was actually
trying to seek out information.
“Yeah, she’s pretty.” Conrad paused for a moment. “Her temper is very bad and she has kids.”
“She has kids? That’s someone who’s married and has a husband!” Beryl felt more at ease and sighed. “I know you
have always been a little more sensitive and it is very rare for you to fancy a girl. However, she is someone with a
husband and children, a family. You can’t step in.”
Conrad said with a frown, “I never thought of stepping in.”
Even if he had none of his memories, he still knew that there were moral ethics to follow.
“Then don’t think about it anymore. Just think about Felicity more. She is a good child.” Beryl acted as if she was
thinking of her son.
Conrad’s frustration within felt even worse and he did not wish to argue with his mother, so he said, “I’m a little
sleepy. I’ll return to my room first.”
“Alright, I’ll help you clean up the study,” Beryl said gently.
With a hum of agreement, he picked up his cane and left the study.
