Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 189
Once they were in the dining room, Conrad helped Fia to her seat and then sat next to her before deshelling prawns for her.
Lola could see everything that was happening. She was very jealous and very confused as well.
Mr. Maxwell loved Esme, but why would he treat Fia so well at home?
Were all men like this? They could treat the wife at hequally well despite having multiple partners outside.
“Eat more, Lola. Don’t be shy,” Fia said with a smile.
Lola nodded with a smile but she wasn’t feeling that great inside. She was upset that Fia was still acting like she was the mistress of the household. There was no point to act like that in front of her when
she couldn’t even handle a homewrecker!
Conrad pretended that Lola didn’t exist, but she becbold, getting a chicken wing and placing it on his plate.
“Don’t disgust me!” he spouted.
Lola was embarrassed to the point of blushing as she began to tear

“Oh, don’t cry, Lola! That’s how Conrad is. He’s very slow to warm up to someone.” Fia took a few pieces of tissue paper and handed them to Lola. “Everything will be better once he’s more familiar with
you.”
“Thank you, Fia.” Lola wiped her tears dry and didn’t dare to provoke Conrad again. She knew that only by being allowed to be here would she have a chance to get close to him. She wouldn’t allow this to stop halfway.
“I’m full. Take you time, Lola.” Fia stood up and left the dinner table

after she put down her fork.
Conrad had been deshelling the prawns for quite stand he was getting hungry too. However, he didn’t want to stay with Lola at all so he ate quickly.
Lola bit at the fork and glanced at him every once in a while. She didn’t dare to say anything, worried that he would chase her out.
Fia was just going back upstairs when she heard footsteps from the
main door. She turned and looked.
“Madam, I have a contract for you.” Silas quickly took a step forward and handed her a document from his briefcase.
“What’s this?”
“Mr. Maxwell used your designs, so this is the contract.”
“Sure.” Fia took the document and pen and immediately signed her
non it.
Silas then said, “Your pseudonym as well.”
“What pseudonym?”
“Mr. Maxwell used your nicknas your pseudonym privately. It’s ‘
Fi.”
Fia’s heart skipped a beat. She then sincerely read the contract, and she felt complicated feelings after finishing it.
Because based on the contract, other than the designer’s fee, she would also get a 50% split from the profit of the sales.
A treatment like this had never been heard of for a beginner designer.

comes to his work and never played favoritism. However, he did it for you.” Silas wanted to let her know just how much his boss loved her.
After feeling touched for a moment, she realized that he probably did this out of guilt because of Esme.
“Mr. Whitley, if your boss really loves me, then he should have returnedmy grandma’s project!” Fia signed the document before going up.
Silas looked at her figure and felt bad for his boss.
However, it was not because his boss didn’t want to return the
project, but because he couldn’t face the truth. The court case with Thea Lawson had become something of a ghost haunting him.
Now, Mr. Maxwell wished that the project never existed. In the past, he paid a lot of attention to it. But now, he was slowing down that project’s development.
No one knew why, but he knew best what Mr. Maxwell was thinking.
“Silas, did she sign the contract?”
“She did.” Silas immediately gave Conrad a sincere smile when he heard his voice coming from behind.
“What did she say?”
“Er… She didn’t say anything.”
Conrad frowned and glared at him. “Be honest with me!”
“Well, she… She said that if you’re really treating her well, you should -return Madam Thea Lawson’s project to her.” Silas lowered her head. He could feel the brewing storm in Conrad’s heart and he didn’t even dare to gasp for air.
