Stop It, She’s Remarrying!

Chapter 438

The following day, Conrad and Fia had breakfast and went to the office as usual.

Conrad still had his morning meeting to attend, and Fia waited for him to leave before calling Eileen to continue their topic about what to get for Conrad’s birthday.

Eileen whined from the other end of the line, “Fia, this is such a difficult question! You might as well ask a duy for suggestions!”

“Who would I ask?”

“You could ask Mr. Whitley.”

“No way. Mr. Whitley is tacky. He’ll probably suggest things like limited branded goods. That’s so gaudy it wouldn’t have much meaning!”

Eileen hesitated, then said, “Then… Do you want to ask Doctor Evans?”

Fia was stunned. She hadn’t spoken to Jason in a long while.

“Well? Have you been in touch with Doctor Evans lately?”

“No. It would be best if I didn’t ask him about this. It’s weird.”

“Well you’re right. You owe him a favor, after all. Asking him about a gift for your husband is like stabbing him in the heart too.”

“If you already know that, why would you suggest him?” Fia muttered, her mood plunging downward “Is it because you’ve had too much free tlately? Even your suggestions are becoming weird.”

“Oh my god, yes! I’m so bored! I really want someone to loveand stay by my side too, you know? I really envy you, Fia,” Eileen said in a sickeningly sweet voice. “If only you weren’t married, I’m sure we

would have worked out!”

“Forget it. I don’t swing that way.”

“Tch! What happened to friendship over love, huh?”

The two continued chatting for a while before they hung up in a happy mood.

Fia was still worried about what to get for Conrad’s birthday. Asking Eileen had been a waste of time, and she didn’t dare to ask Silas. So, with no other options left, she decided to turn to her phone’s voice

assistant.

“Who are you giving a birthday present to?”

Fia held her breath for a few moments before whispering, “My husband.”

“You should give yourself to him! He will be very happy!”

What the hell?

Fia was speechless. Did her phone get possessed or something?!

Even though those were her first thoughts, she couldn’t help but keep the suggestion in her heart.

“My nis Annie Parker. I’ll be working with everyone here from today on. I hope you’ll adviseif there are any shortcomings. Thank you!”

Fia’s phone couldn’t register her mutterings, so it went into standby after a few minutes of being idle.

Fia counted on her fingers and said to herself, “There are still two days and a few more hours till Conrad’s birthday.”

Thinking that Conrad would be in his study for at least half an hour, she spoke to her phone and had it call

Eileen.

Eileen was currently lying in her hospital room, staring at the ceiling with a blank expression. When her phone rang, she turned to check the caller ID before hurriedly answering it.

“Hey, Fia! What’s up? Tellall about your day, hmm?”

Fia briefly told her about going to work with Conrad, and Eileen suddenly thought of the message from Jason this morning.

She hesitated for a few moments before saying, “The design I pitched for you before this has earned quite a sum for the company that bought it. The boss wanted to ask you out for dinner. Do you have tfor that?”

“I don’t think it’s convenient forto go out in my condition.”

“Well, that’s true,” Eileen said, feeling spity for Jason but also grateful that he had taken Fia’s design and pushed for it to be produced in his company.

During the day, Eileen had dug a little to find that Fia’s simple and elegant design had becthe main product of Gentle Stream. Fia would be earning a neat sum cend of the month from the dividends.

If Conrad hadn’t cinto Fia’s life first, Eileen really thought that Jason would have been the man for

Fia.

“Eileen, Conrad’s birthday is in two days. I want to buy him a present. Do you have any suggestions?”

“He doesn’t lack anything, so you shouldn’t bother wasting money on it.”

Fia frowned, obviously torn. “But I can’t just do nothing, right? Wouldn’t that makelook heartless?”

“Oh, you… Really? Have you forgotten all those ruthless things he did to you in the past?”

“Eileen… He’s treatingvery well now.”

“How well?”

“He’s taking care ofas if I’m in a vegetative state and can’t do anything on my own. He’s meticulous in his care.”

Eileen laughed and said, “That’s good. When you get old, and your legs don’t work anymore, he’ll know how to take care of you.”

“Stop teasing me,” Fia protested with a slightly red face. “Helpthink of something to give him, okay?”

Conrad heard Fia talking on the phone outside the bedroom and deliberately crept forward to listen. Hearing that she remembered his birthday and was worried about what to give him made him feel warm, and the bad mood he had been suppressing the whole day vanished.

As long as he was the only person in her mind from now on, that was enough.

Whatever it was that she had with Jason once, that was all in the past.

If he was going to be petty, how would he ever repay her for the wounds she had suffered in his place?

Chap:

“Fia.”

Hearing Conrad’s gentle voice, Fla panicked for a moment and hurriedly said her goodbye. She hung up the phone and tossed it aside.

On the other end, Elleen was speechless as she pulled the phone away from her ear to stare at it.

Conrad pretended not to have heard her conversation and asked curiously, “Who was that?”

“It was Eileen.“

“What were you two talking about?”

“Nothing much. Just random things.”

Conrad looked at her flushed face and was looking forward to what she would get him for his birthday.

He wasn’t lacking anything, but he would be happy even if she got him something cheap.

He gently touched her face and asked, “Aren’t you sleepy?”

Fia yawned nervously. “Just a little.”

“Let’s sleep, hmm?”

“Okay.”

Conrad brought over a basin of warm water to wipe her face and hands.

Fia enjoyed the attention, but she couldn’t help but mutter, “I already took a bath.”

“I know. I helped you, remember?”

“Then you should remember that you’ve already wiped my face and hands.”

Fia felt a little bad. Conrad was a dignified and proud director of a huge company and a young master of

a wealthy family. He was already tired from a long day of work, but he was still meticulous in caring for her when they were home.

“What’s this? Does our Fia not like being clean?”

“That’s not it. You can keep doing it if you don’t find it troublesome…” Fia said as she lay back on the bed, feeling a little drowsy. She thought about how life would be wonderful in the future if the two of them could always get along well like this.

At this moment, she even felt it was good to be blind. She could be a happy doll for him, lying down, doing and worrying about nothing while leaving him to care for her.
