Stop It, She’s Remarrying!

Chapter 1240

“Do I?”

“You do!” Adrian said angrily. “You even treated that man who just appeared better than him!”

Fia let out a helpless smile. “He didn’t disturb me.”

Even Irene helped. “But Uncle Maxwell treats us better!”

Fia had no words.

Adrian then said, “The way that man spoke was so hurtful. Even the way he looked at Uncle Maxwell was strange!”

“That’s right! My brother’s right!”

Fia sighed and sat down. “Then what about you? Why do you care about him so much? That you start fights with me several times for him. Is he more important than me despite me being your mom?”

Her children liked Conrad too much, and that made her very anxious!

For the past five years, Lucifer had already taken care of them more than she did. She already had a competitor there.

And now, another one appeared!

“Mommy, that’s not what we meant.”

“That’s right! Of course, we love you the most! Even Daddy is not as important as you!”

“Really?” Fia said as her eyes became red. “But everything you did lately makes me feel that I’m not as important as them.”

The twins held one of her arms each.

Irene then said, “Mommy’s the most important!”

Adrian nodded. “You gave birth to us! You gave life to us! We’re the ones that are really a family!”

Irene nodded as well. “That’s right. Adrian’s right! So is Daddy!”

What Adrian said was a result of Lucifer’s education.

At this time, the doorbell rang. The two children became excited.

“Uncle Maxwell?” Irene asked Adrian.

Adrian was worried that their mother would become angry again. “Probably not. He was still ill just now.”

“But when he took the medicine before we left, he looked fine,” Irene said.

“Don’t move. I’ll open the door,” Fia said as she got up.

The person outside was Peter.

As their eyes met, both of them could see through each other without saying a word.

Fia then looked behind Peter. “You’re alone?”

“Sally’s still upstairs,” Peter said as he peeked behind her. “Only you and the children are at home?”

“That’s right,” Fia said, before saying in whispers, “You’re here to see the master?”

Peter’s eyes turned cold. “You aren’t going to fake it in front of me at all?”

“There’s no need for that. We’re no clowns,” Fia said before scanning him. “You look… cleaner.”

Peter wasn’t sure how to feel.

“Looks like Britney did show you some mercy after all,” Fia said in an unflustered tone. “Be a good man from now on.”

Peter paused. “I want to.”

Fia knew he was afraid of Lucifer. He could be quite mad sometimes.

All those years ago, after he let Britney go and gave her freedom back, he never looked for her ever again.

However, Peter never regained his freedom. Perhaps, Lucifer might order him to do something crazy again.

“I haven’t paid him back for what I owe him,” Peter whispered. “The reason he let Britney go is because she suffered too much, and she paid her debt in full.”

Fia turned around and glanced at her children and said to Peter, “We can talk again when we have time.”

“Sure.” Peter then took out two small presents. “Something for the children from Sally.”

Fia didn’t move.

Seeing that she refused to receive it, Peter said, “You’re the main reason that everyone moved from Gryphon to the capital city during the past five years.”

“We all have our own lives. Why would you say it’s because of me,” Fia said in a dispassionate expression. She didn’t want to be part of it.

Peter then said, “As Jason’s company is getting bigger, he’s also getting more ruthless. It’s probably because he wants to go after Conrad in the future.”

Fia said nothing and simply listened.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
