Chapter 1022
After a few seconds of silence, Fia put a hand on her slightly bulging tummy and said, babies and I will be waiting for
you at home.”
“Fia, will you miss me?”
“Our
“Why should I miss you?” Fia raised her head and teased him, “We see each other every single day.”
Looking into her eyes, Conrad felt dejected as he tightened his embrace around her waist. ” Then who’d you miss?”
Fia gave him a mischievous, teasing smile and asked, “Who do you think I’d be missing?”
This was something they did. They would exchange questions like they were having a small squabble. Conrad
wanted to ask her if she would miss Jason. After all, they had not met for such a long time. Still, he did not dare to
ask her, fearing that she would give him an answer that he would not like to hear.
Knowing her, Fia would probably not deny anything if she did miss him. Instead of lying and hiding it from him, she
would actually admit to it.

Don’t tell me you’re thinking about someone else all this time?”
Furrowing his brows, Conrad regretted bringing it up.
“Hey, answer me.” Fia pressed on for his answer with a threatening smile.
“Fia, I don’t think about others.”
“Tsk, so there’s no point trying to dig out anything from this mouth of yours, huh?” After caressing his face for a
moment, Fia yawned and said, “I’m getting sleepy. I’m going to have a nap.”
Then, she pushed his hand that was hugging her waist away and stepped toward the bedroom.
Staring at her, Conrad felt that there was an invisible wall between them. And that wall was growing thicker by the
minute.
He needed to deal with Esme quickly. Yet, he also had to make sure that no harm came to Britney. Fia was such a
kind-hearted girl so she would feel responsible if Britney was harmed in their drama with Esme.
Still, Conrad did not have many options left if he needed to resolve this issue in a short time.
He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and wondered… should he change his mind about being cautious so as to
not hurt Britney?
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing his friend drinking wine all alone, Tyler brought a chair over and sat next to Conrad before patting on his
shoulder. “Didn’t you say your wife doesn’t like you drinking? So why are you here drinking on your own, huh?”
“It’s just that… something’s been troubling my mind,” Conrad said as he lightly swirled the wine glass in his hand. “I
have never hesitated this much before.”
“That’s because you’ve finally learned how to feel things like a normal person!” Tyler poked on Conrad’s chest and
said, “Now that you care about someone, you begin to worry and have second thoughts.”
“Perhaps.”
Thinking about Fia, a smile crept on Conrad’s face.
“Ha! Look at that smile of yours! Thinking about your wife again, aye?”
“Yeah.”
Tyler sighed. “I see. So you love her very deeply. Then why did you waste so many years ignoring her back then?”

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad had been wondering the same thing himself. Why did he waste so much time turning his back on her back
then?
“If you realized how much you love her long ago, you two could have been childhood. sweethearts!”
“Childhood… Sweethearts…”
Conrad felt frustrated and annoyed hearing this term.
Sensing something was wrong, Tyler asked, “What? Am I wrong about that?”
“Esme and I… Many people thought we were childhood sweethearts.” Conrad frowned and said, “Whenever I was
with Esme, I would always bring Fia along.”
“Jesus!” Hearing this, a scowl appeared on Tyler’s face. “It’s no wonder Mary pities your wife so much! That poor
girl must have gone through a lot!”
“What do you mean?” Conrad glared at Tyler coldly.
“Esme was a sister who doted on her. On the other hand, you are her sister’s boyfriend. Getting married to you had
led to her shouldering countless blames and insults. She had to have lost a great deal just to be with you.”
“I know.” Conrad smiled bitterly and said, “At first, I too thought she was a wench who schemed to be with me. I
had never tried to be in her shoes.”
“Right! Geez, let’s change the subject, alright? Talking about this ruins my mood!” Tyler grabbed Conrad’s glass and
poured some water for him.
