“Child, I have not directly told you all this while so that you could do a little thinking before I made things clear.”
Finn was extremely distressed and he looked at Conrad who was staring at him coldly.
“I’ll treat the both of you for dinner and we can talk properly. Would that be alright?”
Conrad looked at Fia. “Do you want to go?”
Fia was silent for a moment. “Alright.”
Finn found a decent restaurant nearby.
He asked for a small room and when he ordered dishes, he enquired about Fia’s preferences.
Fia shook her head. “I’m not picky.”
Finn looked at her, then ordered seven to eight dishes as well as a soup that was according to Annie’s preference.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFia listened attentively to him ordering before saying lightly, “The dishes Director Parker has ordered are mostly what a young lady would like to eat. This is according to Miss Parker’s preference, isn’t it?”
Finn felt embarrassed for a couple of seconds. “Yes. Besides my daughter, Annie, I have not interacted with other young people.”
He glanced at Conrad and his attitude beca little proud.
“I don’t think Mr. Maxwell is picky. The food I’ve ordered should be fine, right?”
Conrad was too lazy to be bothered. He poured Fia a cup of water and fed her.
Noticing that Finn did not know how to start, he hurried him coldly. “If you wish to say anything, please be quick. Fia’s tand my tis very precious.”
“Fia, your father and I both knew your mother when we were young and both of us adored her.”
Fia was taken aback. She never thought that Finn would be so direct.
“Perhaps, the mistake I made was that I should not have fallen for your mother. Then perhaps your father and mother could have been together.”
Finn pinched the bridge of his nose. “You are all alone now and it would be a good thing for you to acknowledge your roots. Our Parker family is well known in the capital and in the future, no one would dare to bully you.”
“Your Parker family?” Fia sensitively caught onto this news. “What is the relationship between you and the person you are talking about?”
“He is my elder brother.”
Silence ensued.
Finn sighed. “Annie is younger than you by a year. There is no age gap. Once you acknowledge your roots, she will definitely treat you well.”
“Why are you the one seekingout and not him?” Fia felt melancholy and even disgusted.
“Fia, if you are willing to return to the Parkers, I will call my elder brother immediately!” Finn was extremely fearful that Fia would misunderstand that his elder brother did not like her and therefore
explained. “It was only after meeting you in Gryphon that I found out Echo did not abort you back then and had secretly birthed you.”
Fia found it satirical. “If either of you had my mother in mind, would finding out have been difficult? My mother suffered all these years and none of you ever appeared. Now that she’s gone, what use is there tellingall these?”
“Fia, the matters of our generation are a little more complicated. Back then, your mother and father separated due to many misunderstandings.”
“Then letask you!” Fia said sharply. “Has he gotten married and does he have children?”
Finn frowned. “You don’t have to worry about this. Even if my elder brother is unable to treat you well because of his family, I will treat you like my own biological daughter.”
“Ha!” The moment Fia thought about her mother whose entire life was pathetic and pitiful, she said, “Stop talking. My mother is no longer around. My background is not important, and even more meaningless

She turned sideways to face Conrad.
“Let’s go ”
“Alright.” Conrad hugged her to help her stand.
Finn got up anxiously. “You haven’t eaten.”
“No appetite.” Fia allowed Conrad to lead her out of the private room.
Outside the walkway, Annie, who had just gotten off work, was carrying her backpack when she saw Conrad, and her eyes lit up.
Seeing Fia by his side, she frowned.
“Fia, listen to me, I…”
“Dad!” Annie’s expression was off. “What is going on?”
Finn looked at his daughter and said hurriedly. “I invited you for a meal because I wanted you to
accompany Fia. She is the daughter of your eldest uncle who has been adrift outside!”
“What?” Annie was unable to accept the fact momentarily and looked at the blind girl who was leaning into Conrad’s embrace in a daze.
“How could she be my eldest uncle’s daughter? Isn’t my cousin abroad?”
