Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 1054

“Give him another call! No, you dial his number and give me your phone! I’ll tell him myself!” Victor said.

Tyler raised an eyebrow and scowled at the man. “Don’t you have a phone too?”

“Conrad had blacklisted my number! Why would I need to come here if I could just give him a call?!”

“I see. Well, it’s still none of my concern!” Tyler ordered the bodyguards to send Victor away before stepping into the villa.

As soon as he entered Conrad’s study, he could smell a strong scent of alcohol. Covering his nose with his hand, Tyler said, “What the hell are you doing? Brewing wine?”

He then looked around and noticed that the study was pitch black. “And why didn’t you turn on the lights?”

Yet, Conrad simply sat on the floor, not giving a response at all.

Seeing this, Tyler took out his phone and turned on the torchlight to search for the room’s light switch. A few seconds later, he found the switch and flipped it on. Then, he turned and saw the empty bottles scattered around Conrad on the floor.

“Come.”

Suddenly, Conrad called out to Tyler. “Come here and drink with me.”

Letting out a sigh, Tyler said, “No can do, buddy. My wife and daughter are waiting for me at home.”

“Hehe, how nice.” Conrad lazed back and leaned against the wall next to him. “I envy you, Tyler Lane.”

“What’s there to envy about? You’re a genius in business, sitting atop the throne of the business world. It should be us that envy you!”

Tyler sat next to him and opened a bottle. Despite his words, he still could not bear to see his friend drown in sorrow alone like this. So, he might as well provide him some company.

“Oh, envy me?” Conrad gave a bitter smile and lamented, “I grew up in a broken family. My grandfather loved me but he was very strict in molding me to be his successor. I’ve never truly experienced unconditional love when I was a child. I suppose this made me completely clueless in ways of treating others with love. I thought I loved someone, but the feeling I had for her was a feeling of guilt. What’s even funnier is that feeling of guilt was elicited from me through trickery.”

Gulping down the XO brandy in his bottle, Conrad’s eyes were filled with pain and regret.

“So, that girl who tricked you… That was Ms. Manning?”
