“Britney.” Peter’s calm eyes laid on Esme. “Did you chere for lunch with the expectation of seeing
Conrad?”
Both Fia and Ewere speechless.
Conrad put down his glass and looked at Peter. “What, you’re here to get back at me?”
“Haha! What are you talking about, Conrad? It’s not my place to get back at you for anything,” Peter said as he patted Esme’s arm. “Didn’t you say you have something you want to ask Conrad? He’s here now, so why don’t you ask him?”
Esme’s thoughts were in turmoil.
Peter then reminded her, “You missed Eso you went to the Mannings’ mansion for a walk. Didn’t you say you want to ask Conrad about something?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEsme’s eyes opened wider, and she stared into Peter’s eyes, hypnotizing herself that she was Britney.
“Conrad… Eand I were good friends when we were overseas. I treated her as a sister of sorts. After I cback, I found out a little about what happened. While she made mistakes, I believe that you’re entirely at fault!”
Conrad raised her eyes and glared at Britney coldly.
“Since you were friends with her, then do you know the relationship between her and Peter that you secretly loved so much?”
Ewas stunned. “What do you mean by that? Ecback hbecause of you! It has nothing to do with Peter!”
“Ha! Are you sure you don’t know what that means? Or are you pretending?” Conrad’s eyes became even colder. “So, the two of you chere to have lunch so that you can givesmental conditioning?
“Do you think that after Eis dead, I would blmyself for it or have any regrets? Or do you want me to have a fight with my wife over it again and again?” The words he said in his mouth were getting more
and more heartless.
“A woman that is dead no longer exists! I would never have any feelings for her! And you speak of her in front of me… It only makesfeel repulsed and disgusted!”
The color on Esme’s face slowly drained away.
Peter frowned. He didn’t expect Conrad to be that heartless.
She was his first love.
And a first love was the hardest for a man to give up on, wasn’t it?
Ewas his first love. That was why he was maddeningly in love with her!
“Peter.” Conrad stared at Peter coldly. “Since you were able to take Eout of the country all those years ago, why didn’t she marry you?”
Peter frowned, the viciousness in his eyes appeared again.
“Because at the end of the day, it simply proves that you’re still lacking!” Conrad sneered at him coldly.
Fia felt breathless as she was stuck in between them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll they talked about was Esme. She didn’t want to talk about her.
Esteeled herself and then looked at Fia.
“Fia, I want to ask you whether you’ve ever felt yourself to be very cruel?”
Fia tightened her fist and smiled. “You’re Britney Thomas, not EManning. Why are you so interested in the story between the three of us?”
“Because Esme’s my friend!”
“Friend, huh? The person that Peter likes is my cousin. Then, as her friend, you’re simply picking up what she had discarded?” Fia said coldly. She wasn’t mute… She could provoke others when needed as well.
At this time, the waiter cwith their food.
Conrad then said, “We want to change to another table.”
“Of course.” The waiter took their food to another table. He even chose a table that was much further away than Peter and Esme.
“Let’s go, Fia.” Conrad held Fia’s hand as he stood up.
Fia took a few steps before suddenly turning around, and she caught the hatred in Esme’s eyes.
She frowned, asking in a cool voice, “What is there between you andthat could make you stare at me with such hateful eyes?”
