Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 14

As soon as Conrad entered the bedroom, she could smell the scent of Jo Malone’s Cardamom Fragrance from him carried by the cold air outside. It was the same scent that Esme had.

While her mom and grandmother were both at home, he was busy dating his childhood friend. He had already forgotten that he had a family.

“Fia Lawson!”

Conrad pulled the blanket off her and spoke in an angry tone. “I’m talking to you!”

Yet, she still didn’t budge.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her up, looking at her coldly.

“Are you deaf?!”

Fia blinked and looked at him with similar cold eyes.

This was the man that she had fallen in love with before she even knew what love was.

Her lips curled to form a sneer. “You stink.”

Conrad frowned and lowered his eyes to look at himself. He had already showered and changed after he got out of the pond. He couldn’t stink.

He tightened his grip on her arm and said, “Enough with your tantrum. We need to talk.”

“You stink.”

She repeated it again and gave him a look of disdain.

The look made Conrad suspect that something was wrong with his nose.

Fia knew that he didn’t understand what she was talking about and decided not to hide it anymore. She grabbed his collar and said, “Esme’s perfume is all over you and it stinks!”

With that, she let go of his collar and even blew her hand.

Conrad also let go of her arm at the same time but said nothing.

During the entire journey when he sent her home, she kept on crying in the car. He had to stop the car to console her, and she was in his arms.

Other than that, he did nothing else.

“Conrad, can you at least remove the scent from you before you come home. Also, we haven’t divorced yet, so please pay attention to how you act!”

When the thought of Esme being held by Conrad crossed her mind, she felt as if a knife was cutting her heart to let it bleed.

She crawled back into bed and pulled the blanket to cover herself.

“Go sleep in another room.”

Conrad found no words.

He was supposed to be the one questioning her, but she was the one angry at him instead?

When what happened to Esme crossed his mind, he calmed himself down and said, “I hope you can persuade Grandmother Thea to not marry Esme to someone else.”

“That has nothing to do with me,” Fia said as she closed her eyes. She didn’t realize that her grandma took such quick actions.

While she was quite moved at the time, she didn’t agree with it. This was all her grandma’s own plan.

“She loves you. That was the only reason why she’s treating Esme like this. You need to be the one to settle this!” Conrad couldn’t help but say it louder.

“Conrad Maxwell!” Fia roared as she suddenly sat up and pointed at her own face. “Did you question your mother when she hit me and my mom?! Not only did you not apologize on her behalf for what happened this afternoon, but you’re also screaming at me because of that woman! Do you even have a heart?!”

When Conrad saw the red swelling on her face, his temper also quickly rose.

“My mom fell into the pond! If I didn’t come back in time, who knows what would have happened! I’m already sparing you some dignity with how I dealt with this! Don’t you dare make me go through this with you again!”

“Fine, let’s go through this again!” Fia suddenly calmed down. “You can sue me, and you can call the cops on me! Let’s see if the cops will punish me for what happened!”

She didn’t intentionally hurt anyone. She had been simply fighting back after his mother humiliated and beat her. She never expected the railing to suddenly break. Everything that happened was an accident and her conscience was clear!

“Don’t think that I won’t dare!”

“You’re rich and influential. What is there you won’t do?!” Fia said as she finally lost all her patience and got out of bed barefoot.
