Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 47

“What is it?” Conrad could see the tears from Fia’s eyes and he walked toward her.

She looked down with a soft chuckle. “It’s the dust.”

With that, she rubbed her eyes, wiping the tears away.

“Since you’re going to be so heartless, I suppose we’ll take this to court then,” Fia said calmly.

Conrad frowned. “Are you sure you want to take this to court?”

The Maxwell Corporation’s lawyers were all well–known elites across Fortuna. No one dared to take his company to court.

“I’m sure.”

“Fia, you have never worked, so you don’t know how much this will cost you. Let’s discuss this. I won’t owe you a cent.”

“We won’t know the result until the end. I simply hope that you’re willing to abide by the court’s rulings,” Fia said. She trusted her grandma had connections and that they could hire some capable lawyers.

“Fine, let’s do it.” Conrad shrugged and wanted to go into the ward.

Fia reacted quickly and stood in front of the room’s door, blocking his path.

“Thanks, but no thanks. You don’t have to visit my mom and grandma.”

She was worried that their condition would worsen if he were to visit them a few more times.

Conrad narrowed his eyes. “Do you know how annoying you are right now?”

He wanted to put his hands on her throat and wring it so that she would be as obedient as before!

“That’s nothing. From the beginning till the end, there’s nothing that I have that could make you love me,” Fia said as she blocked the entrance. She refused to let Conrad in.

“I want to talk with your grandmother about the lawsuit.”

“There’s no need for that. Our thoughts are the same.”

“Fine!” Conrad took a deep breath to suppress his terrible feelings. “Don’t cry to me about this afterward. I won’t back down even if you do.”

“You better think about how to console my cousin. From what I know about her character, she will definitely cry when she finds out you can’t give her the project immediately.”

“She’s not that kind of person,” Conrad refuted her out of instinct.

“Is that so? Then maybe the cousin that I know and the Esme that you know aren’t quite the same.” Fia snickered. “Forget about everything I said. Don’t worry about it.”

She then opened the door and entered the ward. She also quickly closed the door, blocking Conrad from seeing anything inside.

As Conrad couldn’t get anything out of Fia, he looked for the director to ask about Thea and Echo’s conditions. He then asked him to give them the best treatment available.

Once he was out of the hospital, he then gave Esme a call.

“Where are you right now?

“I’ll pick you up for a meal.”

“Ah! You finally remember! Today’s my birthday!”

After hanging up, Conrad stood still for a few seconds, thinking.

He had forgotten her birthday. Impossible.

Usually, he would not forget about it.

He searched through his contacts and called Silas.

“Prepare a birthday gift for Ms. Manning.”

“Of course, Mr. Maxwell.”

“Have you prepared the wedding anniversary gift a few days ago?” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“…I did. But since you and the madam are talking about divorcing, I didn’t send it out.”

When Conrad thought about the distance between him and Fia lately, he couldn’t help but think if it had something to do with not receiving the wedding anniversary gift.

He would send her a gift every year during their anniversary.

“Send me a picture of the gift.”

“Alright. Give me a minute.”

When he received the picture from Silas, he couldn’t wait to send it to Fia.

When Fia received the picture and opened it, another of Conrad’s messages came through as well.

Fia’s icy heart warmed up slightly, but it had already been a few days. Her heart grew even colder after that thought passed through her mind.
