“Fla,” Conrad muttered as he held her cold hand.
His amber eyes slowly turned red.

“It’s just a dream, Fia. It’s okay. Everything will pass. We’ll get our baby back.” His tone was calm and gentle and he continued to whisper in her ears again and again.

Conrad stared at her for two seconds. He didn’t want to tell her the truth, worried that it would hurt her.
“I didn’t get enough rest lately. When I saw you sleep, I wanted to sleep on the other half of the bed.”
“Go!” Fia pushed him again, but she was getting anxious when she touched the man’s tough chest.
Conrad grabbed her hands and didn’t want to let her go.
“I’m having a slight headache, Fia. Can I sleep for a little bit more?”
“How can you be so shameless all of a sudden? Fine, sleep. I’ll get down.”

“It’s because you’re on my bed!”
“Just lend it tofor a while. Just a while. I’m just too tired.”

“I was irritated.”

“Is that so? Then what are you irritated about?”
“It’s because of you.”
Fia’s heart skipped a beat.
“You keep on saying you want a divorce, and that makesannoyed.” Conrad tightened his fingers under
her chin and looked at her pale lips. He wanted to love and take care of her.
Fia looked at the man’s face, feeling her heartbeat accelerating, and she was getting hotter.
Just as he was getting closer to her lips, she suddenly got her senses back and slapped him.
“Ouch,” Conrad muttered out of pain and held his face,
Fia looked at him with a cold expression as she sat up.
“Get down! Otherwise, I’ll ring the bell and tell Evans to cover and change my room!”
