Chapter 391
“Are you angry with me, Fia?”
“You’re thinking too much.”
“Am I?” Conrad looked at her gray eyes and couldn’t help but feel the pain thumping in his chest.
He carefully bent down and put his face next to hers.
“Then I am afraid and think too much.”
Fia’s heart, which seemed to be under a lot of stress, trembled. But it only trembled. The stress was still
there.
“I went over to the autopsy department to look at Esme’s body,” he said slowly, worried that he might agitate her.
Fia couldn’t help but curl her hands into a ball.
“Now that you’ve seen it, are you sad? She’s dead. There’s no more chance for you to redo it anymore.”
Conrad held the woman in his arms. He hadn’t hugged her properly since she woke up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis time, she didn’t push him away. He was obsessed. All he wanted was to treasure this moment.
“Do you regret it? If you knew that she’d die, you wouldn’t have submitted that evidence, right?”
Conrad frowned. “Am I that disgusting in your eyes?”
“You have her in your heart and always have. I would never say that you’re disgusting. Instead, I should praise your
deep affection for her.”
1 don’t!” Conrad raised her face as he looked at her with his helpless, amber eyes.
“What should I do to make you stop thinking about all of this, Fia? Tell me.”
“There’s no need to play pretend.” Fia gritted her teeth and sneered. “Just tell me how sad you are. How regretful
you are. Treat me as a murderer. I can accept anything.”
“Fia…”
“I’ve been telling myself this every day, to prepare for the inevitable!” Fia tried to shove Conrad away, but she
ended up being the one falling into the chair instead.
Conrad looked at her nervously and as he held her arms, worrying that she would fall from the chair.
“I don’t know what I should do to make you believe me, but I want to tell you that she no longer has a place in my
heart. The reason I went to the autopsy department isn’t because I missed her, but I wanted to make sure it’s her!
After faking her injury and hurting you so many times… She must be punished!”
Fia tilted her head. She couldn’t see Conrad’s expression, but she could hear the disgust toward Esme in his voice.
She had never seen him like this.
Had he really abandoned his feelings for Esme?
Did what happened at the court really have nothing to do with him?
“Conrad, I can’t believe you with just a few words!”
She couldn’t accept the different him as she became hysterical.
She had already judged him, but how he was right now was making her feel so confused!
“I didn’t lie,” Conrad said as he knelt down in front of her, looking deep into her empty eyes.
He held her hand and placed it on his heart.
“I swear to you. If I lie to you, I’ll die a horrible death!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFia felt his powerful heartbeat through her hand.
“Why? Why do you not love her anymore so suddenly?”
“It’s not sudden. Perhaps, we had already ended the moment she left the country and betrayed me.”
Conrad held Fia’s hand tightly and said, “After she came back, it was me that didn’t clarify my own feelings. I was
wavering because I cared about our past and hurt you.”
Fia blinked and couldn’t help but asked, “You said she betrayed you? How so?”
There was hatred in Conrad’s eyes. “When she left the country, she didn’t leave because of her dreams. She left
together with her teacher.”
Fia frowned. She knew about this, since she had always been Esme’s little lackey at the time.
She knew that the teacher had some feelings for Esme, but Esme had always stayed close with Conrad.
As for what happened after she and her teacher left, she didn’t know.
However, she didn’t tell anyone about it.
“How did you know about it?”
Conrad looked at Fia, pained. “After the crash and you lost our baby, I sent my people to investigate her.
