Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 1231

“Ms. Sia, do you think he might die?” Eileen suddenly tossed a rather unexpected question at her.

Fia frowned and answered, “He won’t die.”

“He doesn’t deserve to die just yet. He didn’t even die five years ago.”

Letting out a sigh, Eileen said, “We live in the same building now, Ms. Sia. My apartment is right below yours.”

“…”

Fia kept quiet, not knowing how to answer her.

“So, can I visit you now? Your children are asleep, right? So, I figured you’d have the time for a chat now.”

Checking the clock on the wall, Fia said, “It’s almost 10PM. You should go to bed, Ms. Reid.”

“Oh, it’s okay. You see, I’m a night owl. So, I can’t really sleep right now even if I lie on the bed. But if you’re feeling sleepy then… then perhaps we’ll chat some other time…”

Hearing the dejected tone in Eileen’s voice, Fia could not help answering, “I don’t usually sleep that early either.”

“So I can visit you now?”

“Sure.”

“Yay! You finally agreed!” Eileen was so happy that she jumped down from her sofa.

“Ouch! Oww, that hurts!” When she landed on the floor, her knee rammed against the coffee table, causing her great pain.

“Hey! What’s wrong?” Fia’s heart skipped a beat hearing Eileen’s excruciating cry. She could not help but recall that one time this girl jumped off from a building for Victor.

Eileen was indeed a strong, independent woman. However, behind that thick, impregnable wall, she was just as fragile as any girl, who always needed someone to treasure her, care for her.

“Oh, it’s nothing. I knocked my knee against the coffee table just now. That’s all.” Eileen rolled up her jeans to check her knee. There was already a bluish bruise on her knee.

Shrugging it off, Eileen said to the phone, “I’ll be at your place in a sec! Wait for me!”

Fia answered, “Sure. Take your time. There’s no rush.”

Yet, Eileen being Eileen, she only took her phone with her when she stepped out of her apartment. When she arrived at Fia’s door, she was stunned by a solemn fact.

“Oh no! I… I forgot to bring my keys with me. How will I return home later?”

Staring at Fia’s door, Eileen thought to herself, ‘Ms. Sia has a bad temper and is really cold to strangers. She wouldn’t let me stay for the night.”
