Chapter 344
“Sir?”
The word cut open a wound in Conrad’s heart.
“We’re husband and wife. Why must you address me like that?”
“It’s an honorific,” Fia said with a smile. She then hurled a punch at his chest and walked out of his arms.
Conrad looked at her. While she couldn’t smile wholeheartedly, she looked radiant.
He really liked the way she smiled.
“Alright then, Fia. Let’s not talk about the divorce before your recovery, alright?”
Fia looked at him as she narrowed her eyes. He once again asked for the divorce to be canceled sincerely.
He could already say that he loved her, and the sentiment was very genuine.
There was no need to fake it in the first place.
“I don’t need forty–two days. Thirty days are enough. Deducting the ten days we spent in the hospital… Twenty
days.” With that, she sat down in front of the dressing table and grabbed a pen and paper.

allowed to interfere with my life.”
Conrad looked at the lines on the paper and knew that she was starting to work on a new design.
“Alright. I won’t disturb you. If there’s anything, call me. I’ll be working in my study.”
“You’re not going back to the company?”
“No. Silas will contact me directly if there’s anything important.”
“No meetings?”
“I can stream meetings.”
Fia frowned and wanted to remind him that it was not an easy task to get his business expanded into the capital
city. It wouldn’t be good for him to be so careless. But after giving it a thought, it had nothing to do with her. Not to
mention that he was someone who always had a plan when it came to work. There was no need for her to worry.
“Then you can leave.”
Conrad reached the door before giving Fia a deep stare and leaving.
Twenty days.
He needed to make Fia change her perception toward him in twenty days!
Study.
Conrad had already worked in front of his computer for about an hour when his phone rang.
He looked at the caller and accepted the call. He put it on loudspeaker and then placed the phone on the
table.
“What is it?”
“Mr. Maxwell, I… My brother had already confessed to everything that Esme had done. Can you please ask Director
Parker to show some mercy?”
Conrad raised his head and stretched his neck as he gave it a thought.
“Uncle Manning…” While he addressed him as such, there was no respect toward him in that tone of his. Instead,
the tone was full of mockery. “As long as Assistant Director Manning explains everything to the director, I believe
that the director will show some leniency after seeing he’s repented.”
“Mr…”
Conrad didn’t give Hank any chance to continue and hung up. He also blacklisted his new phone number.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe didn’t want to interact with anyone from the Manning household anymore.
In order to protect himself, Chuck had confessed to the director what happened between his niece Esme and his
own daughter Priscilla with the support of his older brother.
Including how Esme hurt herself and pinned the blame on Fia.
The next day, Silas reported it all to Conrad when he got to the company.
Conrad was stunned. He remembered how Fia argued for herself, and he never believed her.
“Silas… Esme did so many things but I never believed Fia even once. Would she give me a chance?”
Silas was silent for a few seconds before saying, “From the perspective of the madam, she must be quite
disappointed. She…”
He looked at how Conrad’s expression quickly darkened, and he said, “From my personal perspective, I’m hoping
that you and the madam could return to how great your relationship was.”
“How our relationship was, huh?” Conrad laughed. “We never had a good relationship. How are we supposed to go
back to that state?”
Fia received a call from Gryphon Police Department. After listening to the report on Esme’s case, she didn’t show
much emotion.
