Chapter 402
Looking into the woman’s beautiful yet confused eyes, Conrad could feel his throat becoming dry. He really wanted to have her at this moment.
He wanted to use his gentleness to make her feel how much he cared for her.
“Fi… I missed you,” He bit her earlobe, giving her a sign.
“Ahchoo!”
Fia blushed, thankful for her sudden sneeze.
“Are you cold?” Conrad immediately covered her with the blanket and looked at the air conditioner. “The temperature’s too low?”
“Yes, it’s a little cold.”
Conrad quickly got out of bed and increased the temperature by two degrees.
When he looked at her again, he no longer had the fire in him.
“Then sleep a bit. I’ll make you something warm.”
“Sure.” She didn’t catch a cold, but she was thankful that he was not around her. That way, her heart could stop thumping uncontrollably.”
“Where’s Fia?” Eileen asked nervously when he saw Conrad walk down on his own.
Conrad glanced at her and said, “She’s not feeling well, so I’m going to make her some tea.”
“A cold?”
“Prevention.”
“Alright.”
When Eileen saw Conrad enter the kitchen, she followed him out of curiosity.
Conrad washed the ginger and cut it into chunks and then mixed it with honey in boiling hot water in a teapot.
Eileen looked from the doorway. Victor appeared in her mind again. If only he could treat her that well too.
She shook her head again and mocked herself. She was building castles in the air.
After the tea was ready, Conrad added water to a pot.
When Eileen saw it, she looked at him in shock. “You can cook?”
“A bit.”
Eileen snorted. “I realized that you’ll only speak a lot to Fia.”
Meanwhile, he wouldn’t speak much to them at all.
Conrad was stunned. No one told him about it before. But now that he thought about it, she was
right.
“You love Fia?” Eileen asked.
Fia’s face appeared in Conrad’s mind. Somehow, he felt at peace.
Love or hate, it was not something that mere words could express fully.
Not to mention that he still wasn’t sure about the kind of feelings he had for Fia.
He only wanted to treat her well. To heal all the injuries that she suffered.
Eileen realized that he was ignoring her and simply taking out vegetables and meat from the fridge, preparing to cook.
She then asked, “Do you need help?”
“Accompany Fia please.”
“Sure!” Eileen looked at Conrad. While he wasn’t that familiar with cooking, he was sincerely making an effort.
Seeing that Esme was dead, there were no more barriers between him and Fia.
She could finally leave Fia with this man.
“Thanks for helping me, Conrad.”
She was no fool. She knew what was happening.
The company that poached her was arranged by Conrad.
Fia must have asked him for help.
“Just treat Fia better,” Conrad said as he focused on his cooking.
“Fia?” Eileen pushed open the door and called out in a whisper as she extended her head in.
“Eileen.” Fia crawled up from the bed.
She then waved her hand at the door. “Come in.”
Eileen felt her heart skip a beat. Fia got it wrong again. Her hand was toward the wall.
She didn’t tell her about it, worried that it might affect her.
