Chapter 1142
Fia was still staring at the ceiling even after Adrian and Irene had fallen asleep. Her mind drifted away as she
reminisced about the past…
Two hours later, she couldn’t take it anymore. She snuck out the bedroom and went to the kitchen. She had kept
several bottles of branded cocktails in her fridge. She took out a brandy flavored cocktail and finished it in one go.
The weather was rather cold at the time. After gulping down the ice-cold cocktail from the fridge, Fia’s body felt
even colder.
“Mommy!”
Adrian, who just got up from bed, walked into the kitchen barefooted.
“Hey, Adrian! Why aren’t you wearing your slippers?” Fia hurried out the kitchen to get him his slippers.
Following his mother, Adrian said, “I didn’t see you when I woke up. I was afraid that you might have gone out on a
mission without saying goodbye again.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSaddened by her son’s words, Fia held Arian in her arms to help him wear his slippers and said, “I’m here. Mommy
isn’t going anywhere.”
“I also thought about Daddy. Daddy isn’t here. What would happen to me and Irene if you’d gone out on a mission?”
Adrian said dejectedly.
Holding Adrian in her arms, Fia sighed. “I won’t leave without saying goodbye anymore. Back then, I had to do it
because I didn’t have a choice.”
After pacifying Adrian, Fia brought him back to the bedroom. When she opened the door, she saw that Irene was
still fast asleep. Lying on her stomach, the girl smiled sweetly as she slept soundly.
“Irene sleeps like a little piglet,” Adrian whispered.
“What about your sister’s present? Have you prepared it yet?” Fia asked with a smile.
“Oh, I forgot.” Adrian said after a brief moment of realization, “I’ll buy her a present when we go out to play in the
afternoon later, okay?”
Fia squatted down and held Adrian’s hand. “If you have decided, then you should act on it. If you don’t, you’ll be
breaking your promise.”
She continued on with her lecture, “Think carefully about what you want to give her first. Then, research on the
internet to see if you can find it in the area. When you’re done, we’ll head out to purchase it when your sister is
awake, okay?”
“Okay! We’ll buy it when we go out later!” Adrian hurried to the living room to get his tablet to research on the
place he could get his sister a gift.
Seeing this, Fia smiled gently. Her son was a delicate, sensitive boy. So, she would need to spend more time to guide
him. She was glad that her son was a good listener too. This meant that it was very unlikely that he would grow up
to be someone like Conrad.
“Mommy…” Irene sat up on her bed drowsily.
Seeing this, Fia stepped into the room and sat on the edge of the bed. “Did you have a good nap?”
Irene nodded and said, “I did. It’s just that… I feel a little tired. I don’t want to get dressed on my own.”
“It’s okay. Mommy will help you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIrene gave a cute, pretty smile at her mother and said, “Thank you, Mommy! You’re the best!”
“Irene,” Fia asked as she helped her daughter wearing her clothes, “What’d you like for lunch?”
“Hmm… Can I have cake?”
“No. That’s for tea time. Choose a proper meal.”
Hearing this, Irene replied dejectedly, “Must we have bread and veggies?”
Fia gave her a head pat and combed her hair with her hand. “Yes.”
“But we could eat just about any delicious food when we’re with Daddy.”
Fia was stunned hearing this. Indeed, that sounded just like what Lucifer would do. He would do anything for the
twins. Especially when they wanted sweets. They developed a sweet tooth because he had spoiled them rotten with
sweets and desserts. Whenever Adrian and Irene wanted to eat anything sweet, he would always make it for them,
be it cakes, cookies, pies or puddings.
Because of how he pampered her children, Fia sometimes would forget just what a stubborn, cruel, perverted man
he was. Who could blame her though? What kind of cruel man would show so much patience and love to children
like him?
Meanwhile, at the Maxwell Old Residence.
Beryl was smiling contentedly as she tended to her nails in the living room. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was from
an unknown number.
