“I’m sorry, but I’m not feeling that well,” Fia said as she pulled her hand away from Conrad’s and walked away.
Sapphire complained, “What’s with your wife today, Conrad? Seems like she’s not happy to see me.”
Conrad glanced at Sapphire and said, “Rather than worrying about that, you should worry about the man next to you!”
“Victor?” Sapphire looked at him, confused. “Victor’s attitude is quite warm. He even greeted you because you’re cousins.”
Conrad didn’t want to waste his breath anymore.
Everyone from his mother’s household, including the Starling household, was quite the simpleton and would act recklessly.
“Let’s talk, Conrad.” Victor caught Conrad’s arm.
Sapphire then quickly said, “You two should chat. I’ll go chat with Fia.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad had just wanted to fling Victor’s hand away when he heard Victor whisper into his ears, “Do you want to know a secret?”
In the garden, Fia was having a walk on her own and she sat in front of the fish pond.
Looking at all the fish swimming in the pond, she revealed an envious smile.
“Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere, Fia?”
Sapphire cover and looked at her, concerned.
Fia raised her head and looked.
Although Sapphire was Beryl’s niece, the two of them had always treated each other with respect. Nothing bad had happened between them.
After the family dinner, Sapphire even found the tto chat with her.
“Thank you. I just didn’t have enough rest, and I’m feeling a bit tired.”
“I understand. Your mom had just passed away. You must still be quite upset?”
Sapphire carefully looked at Fia and said, “You have always lived with your mom. After she’s gone, do you feel like you have no family anymore?”
Fia was stunned. She didn’t know how to continue the conversation.
She remembered Eileen and she didn’t want to get too close to Sapphire.
“Don’t be so pessimistic, Fia. You still have Conrad and all of us. We’re all your family.”
Sapphire smiled sweetly. “And your cousin. She cares about you too.”
Fia frowned and said, “Sapphire… Eand I don’t have much of a bond between us.”
“How can that be? She has always cared for you. While the two of you have becsomewhat alienated because of Conrad, she still cares for you. She even cried tosaying that if she had known that you would start fighting with Conrad after she cback, she wouldn’t have cback.”
Fia looked at Sapphire speechlessly.

“She said that all of this romance was beyond her and wished that she hadn’t met Conrad. Then you two wouldn’t be like this.”
Sapphire sighed. “I’m the only daughter in my family. My other cousins also don’t treatas family. Look at Conrad. We may be cousins, but he’s never treatedas one. He’s never treatedwell!”
Fia forced a smile. “That’s how he is. Just look at him and Victor.”
“That’s true. I don’t know why their relationship is so bad. Every tVictor greets him, he would always show a cold face! Please tell Conrad that since there are so few of us in this generation, we cousins should stick closer together.”
As Sapphire began talking, Fia was willing to listen.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Sapphire, when will you and Victor get married?”
“Huh?” The smile on Sapphire’s face disappeared. “I’m quite annoyed too. I’ve asked him a few times but he kept on saying that there was no rush.”
“...”
“I’m one year older than Conrad, and I’m not that young anymore.” Sapphire began to well up. “If we drag this further, I’m worried that it’s going to be hard forto get pregnant.”
