Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 113
When Fia stepped out of Eileen’s van, she could already see Conrad waiting at the gates.
Her heart tightened as she looked at the bag in her hand.
Could it be that he was waiting in front of the gate because she spent too much?
He didn’t like her overspending his money, so was he going to scold her?
She was going to pretend that she didn’t see him and was going to use the side door to go in with her head lowered.
“I’ll help you.” Conrad grabbed the shopping bags from her and walked into the living room.
Fia was stunned. What was the meaning of that?
She ran in and saw him putting the bags on the sofa, already beginning to unpack them.
“What are you doing?”

Fia felt humiliated and she pushed him.
“What’s the meaning of this? If you’re angry, just say it. Don’t make it so weird!”
“Why should I be angry?” Conrad looked at the things she bought and gave her a look of approval as he continued to unpack them.
Fia was speechless.
What was with that look of approval?
Was he planning to praise her now only to torture her later?
“Good taste.” Conrad took out that blue silk shirt and measured it to his own body. “For me?”
Fia grabbed it and said, “If you don’t like it, I can wear it as pajamas.”
“No one said anything about not liking it.”
He grabbed it back and said, “This is the first tyou bought something forin these three years.”
Fia frowned and said, “While I didn’t buy you any presents for your birthday, I cooked your favorite dishes.”
Conrad suddenly remembered.
Every twhen it was his birthday, she would prepare a full table’s worth of Mediterranean dishes.
Mediterranean cuisine tasted much lighter compared to the spicy food that she liked.
“I’m truly foolish to have used your card to buy you a shirt as a present.”
She tried to make it sound as calm as possible, so no one could hear the sadness in it.
“While I have no father and grew up with only my mom, my mom dotes on me. I didn’t know how to cook before this.”
She raised her eyes and looked at him as he was stunned. “I learned how to cook after I married you since all I do is stay inside this house as Madam Maxwell.
“On the internet, they said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. They also said that men hate women who keep spending their money, and that using a man’s money to buy a gift for him is a sign
of a woman’s uselessness.”
She laughed. “I see that everything they said is wrong now.”

“I like the food you prepared every year.
Fia was not moved.
He quickly added, “It was just a mistake. It’s not like what you thought.”
“Enough.” Fia shrugged. “Since you like this shirt so much, can we talk about the project again?”
Conrad’s expression turned cold and he let go of her hand. He continued to remove the packaging on the other things.
All three bags were filled with sexy underwear.
When Fia saw it, she quickly grabbed them.
“Those are mine.”
It was a bit awkward for him as well. “I can’t wear them even if you give them to me.
Fia could feel the heat in her ears. She was somewhat regretting her decision to buy the sexy underwear because of Eileen’s encouragement.
“They look nice,” he said. “Can you wear them fortonight?”
“I can’t. They haven’t been washed yet.”
“You can have Mrs. Taylor wash and dry it. They can be worn in just a while.”
Fia pretended that she didn’t hear anything. She really did not understand his actions. First, he told the staff on the top floor of the shopping mall that she was his wife.
