Conrad was pretending, of course. He wanted to give them the impression that he did not know they lived here.
“We live here!” the twins said to him in unison.
Seeing Conrad talking to the children, the security guard asked them, “Do you two know him?”
“We do, Uncle Security!” Irene gave a cute smile at the guard.
Seeing this, the security guard calmed down from his heated argument with Conrad. “Then, you go in. I thought you’re a scammer since you insisted on not calling them over.”
“This mister is no scammer!” Adrian could not help defending Conrad. To him, this poor man had already lost a leg. Why did everyone keep bullying him wherever he went?
“Okay, okay. Now I know he’s not a scammer. You two can bring him in now. Geez, this man has such a bad temper. He keeps on yelling at us and refuses to listen to reason.”
The security guard was speechless. He was not trying to give Conrad a hard time. This man had suddenly come here and began causing a ruckus, so they had to stop him from entering.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, the security guard stepped back into his office with his colleagues.
Irene lightly pulled on Conrad’s coat and asked, “Mister, do you have a friend living here?”
Conrad felt a kind of fuzzy warmth as he lowered his head and stared at the girl’s tiny hand.
“Yes, I do. Thank you for your help, little ones. If not, I fear that I might not be able to come in.”
Adrian approached Conrad and presented Milo to him. “Here. You can pet Milo.”
Looking at the white Pomeranian puppy in the boy’s arms, Conrad felt that he should take up the boy’s offer. So, he reached out to touch it even though he never really liked pets.
“Bark!”
Suddenly, Milo barked out loudly before leaping out of Adrian’s arms, fleeing.
“…”
Conrad and Adrian were stunned seeing this.
Worried that the children would misunderstand that he hurt their puppy, Conrad explained, “I only touched it for a while.”
Irene looked at Conrad sympathetically, “…Poor mister. Even a puppy doesn’t like you.”
“Can you not make this any worse?” Adrian pouted at Irene before chasing after Milo.

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....
