The twins were becoming more observant as they grew up. So, it was a matter of time before they realized that Fortunese people all had white or brown eyes, except for the Maxwells. The Maxwells were known to have the rare genetic trait of having amber eyes in Fortuna.
Adrian’s amber eyes were too obvious to be missed. If it were not for him having amnesia at the moment, Conrad would suspect something was off too.
“Adrian, your eyes are the results of a condition from when you were in Mommy’s womb. Your eyes were not fully developed like Irene’s.”
Fia looked at her son’s amber eyes and said softly, “Mommy and Daddy will work hard to develop a cure for you. Your eyes will be black like Irene’s in the future, okay?”
“But Daddy said my eyes were formed naturally. And taking medicine constantly isn’t good for your health!” Adrian said with a frown. He was a little distraught by the fact that his mother seemingly disliked his eye color.
Asking him to wear colored contact lenses was a chore for him already; yet now, his mother was planning to change his eye color via drugs and medication? No way!
“Mommy, don’t you love me?!”
Fia felt a pang of hurt hearing her son’s disgruntled words. “Of course I love you, Adrian. You and Irene are really important to me.”
“Then, what’s the deal with wanting to change my eye color? What’s wrong with it? Why do you always fret about it?” Adrian’s amber eyes began welling with tears.
Looking at Adrian, Fia knew for the first time that he actually was dissatisfied with her opinion about his eyes.
“You don’t like Mommy asking you to wear colored contact lenses?”
“Yeah, I don’t like that.” Adrian said dejectedly, “I haven’t done anything wrong. My eyes didn’t do anything bad either.”
It was then Fia finally understood the problem. She had been ignoring Adrian’s will. He had been a good, understanding boy. So, he would oblige with whatever things she asked of him, but this did not mean that he was completely comfortable with them.
“I’m sorry, Adrian.” Fia embraced Adrian softly and apologized. “Mommy didn’t think that you might be uncomfortable with this. Please forgive me.”
“It’s okay, Mommy. I don’t blame you. But could you please not ask me to take medicine? I’ll wear the contact lenses as you wish.”

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....
