Chapter 1118
“Watch your mouth! He’s my son. If I need something, I’d ask him directly. He will definitely answer to my whim.” Beryl responded with a gentle smile, “Now be a dear and wait
downstairs. I’ll go help Conrad down.”
Then, without giving Silas a chance to retort, she went upstairs. She needed to test Conrad to see if he had remembered anything.
She was now finally living a luxurious life again due to her son’s memory loss. He would listen to whatever she said, and would do whatever she asked of him. She could not have this all taken away from her!
Silas furrowed his brows as he glared at Beryl ascending the stairs. This old witch must be scheming something again!
Just as Beryl was about to knock on Conrad’s door, Conrad opened the door and walked out in a full black suit. Standing with the support of his cane, Conrad took a long look at his mother before asking, “Do you need something?”
Beaming a gentle smile at him, Beryl wiped her hands on his coat, pretending to help him do some dusting.
“Conrad, you’re so handsome. It’s such a waste for you to just wear black. You should wear something with cheerful color. I bet you’ll get many girls falling for you if you wear something lighter in color.”
Conrad looked at her silently. He had heard his mother say something similar to him many times, like she was a mother who was smitten by her own son’s good looks.
Yet, somehow, he felt disgusted by her today.
“Do you need something?”
Sensing her son’s cold attitude, Beryl looked at him and spoke in a timid tone.
“Son… Did I do something to upset you lately?”
“…” Conrad squinted before answering, “No.”
“Then why are you treating me so coldly all of a sudden? Tell me, Conrad. Have you remembered something?” Beryl asked as she stared at Conrad nervously.
Conrad shook his head and said, “No, I haven’t. And I don’t need to remember anything.”
After he woke up, he would dive into work. That was his schedule every day,
Silas and his other underlings also told him that his day-to-day life had always been this monotonous and boring. There was nothing in his life other than work, work, work.
The only thing he found peculiarly weird was that his mother had told him that he and Felicity had grown up together. Yet, Silas told him that the Maxwells and Parkers were close, and he and Felicity were only acquaintances.
Still, he found himself attached to Felicity’s voice. He thought… perhaps Silas did not know him as much as his mother.
Beryl said, “Conrad, I’m just concerned for you. Please don’t be upset with me.”
Conrad nodded before checking his watch. “It’s getting late. I need to go to work now.”
“Alright, I’ll help you down the stairs.” Beryl stepped forward to hold her son’s arm.
Instinctively, Conrad wanted to evade her. However, he allowed her to support him after seeing how careful she was in treating him, not wanting to hurt her feelings.
Tired of waiting, Silas went upstairs to get his boss. Seeing Beryl supporting Conrad to the stairs, Silas impatiently grabbed his boss’s arm from the old lady.
“Thank you for your help. I’ll take it from here.”
After getting into the car, Conrad asked puzzledly, “You seem wary around my mom. Is something wrong?”
Silas took a glance at the Maxwell’s Old Residence and fired up the engine. “I’m loyal to you. and you only, sir. So, I’m always wary around people other than you.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
I had known that the ending would be like this , I would never had read this book. It didn’t have a right ending at all. Made no sense. Don’t waste your time....
Evil should never win and Lucifer has harmed far to many....
This should not end this way. Fia, rather than following Lucifer’s evil path should reflect and realize that she has always loved Conrad and he has always loved her. Their problems were due to the interference of others, Beryl, Esme etc . Since she is the only one that can approach Lucifer, she and Peter should cooperate with each other, kill Lucifer and evil Beryl, Peter can remove the toxins/ poison from everyone and each will be able to live normal lives without interfering with others relationship's. The children deserve their real father who will love them dearly and provide and protect them with the life they deserve. Gia has been a fool since the beginning and has believed everyone but her beloved husband. Please end this on a good note, that is why we all read these stories, everyone loves a happy ending....
