Peter pried away Esme’s hand that was around him and slammed the wine glass on the bar counter heavily.“I have something to do. I’m going up.”“Sure.” Esme looked at him strangely. Why did she feel like he was thinking of someone else?There should only be one person in his heart.Her.For her, he had transformed from a teacher to a rat, forced to do things that could never come to light.Peter walked into his study. He pulled the curtains and made an overseas call.A gentle woman picked up his call and happily called out, “Brother! You finally called!”His eyes showed some warmth, which was quite rare. “Did you do anything unhappy lately?”The person on the other side hesitated and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that I’m a bit busy and tired.”“I told you not to be a doctor, but you didn’t listen.”“Don’t talk about me! What about you? Why did you give up on being a university lecturer and becoming a zoologist? It has been a long time since you came back and accompanied me

Mrs. Whitley was worried that Fia was still suspicious of Conrad and misunderstood him.So, she said with joy, “Look at how much Mr. Maxwell cares about you.“There are going to be guards patrolling the mansion all day. They are separated into three groups. Each group will patrol the mansion for eight hours. No one can come into the mansion freely!“They will check all the groceries that we buy every day. They won’t miss anything that we eat or drink, so you’ll…”Mrs. Whitley looked at how numb Fia was and thought about that unfortunate child. She felt pity for the husband and wife.When Fia heard about it, she became even more nervous.Earlier, there was only her, Conrad, and Mrs. Taylor.But there were so many bodyguards this time… Was it because the person had a powerful background? Because he was very hard to deal with?At night.Fia lay in Conrad’s arms and couldn’t help but ask, "Why did you arrange so many bodyguards to patrol outside?”Conrad frowned and said, “I’m wo

Fia looked at him suspiciously in silence. She wanted to see his expression, but she couldn’t.All she could do was act. “What’s with that reaction?”Conrad was sweating on his forehead as he held her hand tightly.“Fia, I think we should maintain some distance right now.”To him, she was full of temptation. She would throw his self-discipline into turmoil.“Why didn’t you say something about maintaining our distance earlier?” Fia was getting a bit upset.“Our situation is different now,” Conrad said as he held her and patted her on the back to console her.He was shocked when he realized what she was thinking about.Was she really treating him like a beast? That all he cared about was that?However, a thorn was lodged in Fia’s heart.She felt that he avoided it intentionally.She even had some worse thoughts, but she didn’t want to think about them.After she blamed him for what happened to their baby, she felt regretful afterward.She was the mother. The baby was in her

“Barbara is a very tough woman and I really admire her! She got married because she wanted to and got a divorce because she wanted to! She is someone very independent, and even her family had no choice but to let her do whatever she wants,” Sally said as if she was inspired.As a woman, they all wished they could have that kind of personality.Fia instinctively said, “Madam Barbara is quite the strong woman. She could still live that well after her divorce… She must have been hurt a lot.”Sally sighed and said, “I know, right? I heard my mom say that her mother-in-law was quite tough to deal with. Since she didn’t have any children after a few years, she didn’t feel compelled to stay. So she left.”Fia knew from Conrad that Barbara was Annie’s previous stepmother. While she was curious about the relationship between Barbara and the Parkers, she didn’t continue asking about it.“I heard from my mom that Barbara’s sister is quite timid,” Sally said as she led Fia into the restaurant

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know,” Britney said as if she said the wrong thing. “Maybe I’ll talk about this to my parents, so that your parents won’t force you anymore.”Jason looked at Britney in surprise.“What are you going to say?”Britney shrugged and said, “Just that you’re not my type.”Jason sighed in relief and said, “Thanks. But it’s me that is not a match for you.”“Of course not. You’re a good man, Jason!” Britney let out a silly smile. “Then let’s forget that this is a blind date that our parents had set up and treat this as just a get-together between friends.”She was being so careful, worried that the other three would reject her.Sally looked at how she was acting and quickly said, “I know you a long time ago and treat you like a younger sister. My friend is your friend.”Britney was excited and looked at Fia with her face red.“Then… Fia…”Fia smiled gently. Since she couldn’t see her face, the only impression she had was that she was a careful, understanding, and
