“It’s the staste as the sweet dumpling fermented rice wine your mother used to make!”
Fia was stunned for a moment as she lowered her gaze to stare at the bowl of sweet dumpling fermented rice wine Conrad served her, recalling the sdish her mom, Echo, used to make for her.
She picked up her spoon and stirred the soup, scooping up half a spoonful and putting it in her mouth.
The first mouthful made her eyes redden. Conall was right. It had the staste.
She could not help but look at Conall. It had been so many years but he still actually remembered the taste of her mother’s sweet dumpling fermented rice wine. Had it once been really true love?
The meal was considered pleasant for the three of them. The only thing that was bad was the impression of Conall being an old chatterbox, a far cry from his usual cool and taciturn self.
After eating, it was tto leave,

He carefully asked, “You have not been out of Gryphon at all till today, have you? Would you like to go to the capital to have sfun?”
Fia raised her eyes to look at him and then lowered her gaze again. “I’ve been to Oceania. Conrad said that when the company is not so busy, he’ll taketraveling around the world.”
Conall said with a sigh, “Maxwell Corporation has deep roots and it is not too hard to enter the capital. However, there will always be sdifficulty and he will be busy for a long time.”
Fia replied, “No matter how long it takes, I am willing to wait for him.”
Conrad was touched and held her hand that she placed on her thigh.
“Mr. Parker, there is no need to worry. No matter how busy I get, I will make tfor Fia.”
Conall nodded helplessly. “Then that would do. Thank you for treatingto this meal. I have not eaten. such a good and comfortable meal in a long time.”
He looked at Fla reluctantly. “Then I shall not intrude anymore and return first. Whenever the two of you go to the capital, remember to cand visit me. I am old, and don’t have the long days you young ones have.”
Fla frowned and did not speak. Conrad let go of her hand, got up after Conall, and saw him out of the private room.
Outside the private room, Conall’s secretary was there. Seeing him coming out, his secretary went forward to support him.
“Why are you here?” Conall asked.
“Miss instructedto cpick you up.”
“Alright. She is really much more careful and generous than her mother.”
“Miss has always…” Conall pinched the secretary’s hand and the salutations immediately changed.” Second Miss has always had a better personality.”
Conall looked back into the private room and saw that Fia sat without moving, sitting sideways facing the door, not even sparing a glance over.
He said in a muffled tone, “Her mother was just like she is now back then.”
Conrad turned back to look at Fia and seemed to have understood her just that bit more.

“You must be joking. Fia and I will never follow in your footsteps.”
Conall smiled desolately. “That’d be best. I also do not wish for my daughter to be covered in wounds.” After watching Conall leave, Conrad quickly returned to the private room.
“Fia, letbring you somewhere.”
Fia raised her head, her gaze a little complicated.
“Didn’t Tiger tell you?”
“Tellwhat?”
“I met Evans. I thought that you would get angry atlike in the past.” She smiled faintly. “Weren’t you always like this in the past?”
Conrad frowned. “You met Jason?”
“Yes. I don’t believe Tiger did not tell you. Is it because you have spent all your energy on other people. and no longer have the tto be jealous?”
Fia tilted her head and looked at Conrad, the smile on her face a bit cold.
Conrad’s heart felt a baffling emptiness and he went forward to hold her shoulders as he bent his waist, asking “Besides Jason, who else did you meet?”
“My cousin.” She laughed. “Esme.
