Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 155
Conrad asked again, “Where is she?”
Esme whispered, “She’s resting on the bed. You should be able to see her if you come inside.”
Conrad followed, and the fragrance became even stronger.
He sensed something was wrong and turned around.
Esme cried out his name and pounced on him. She then held him tightly and said, “Conrad… Conrad! Please don’t give up on me!”
“Esme, please have some self–respect!”
“Aren’t you worried about me at all? I was almost destroyed by your cousin’s people! And even now I
would recall what happened to me that night as soon as I close my eyes! I’m scared! I’m afraid to even step out and see other people! I’m afraid that others will attack me!
“Conrad, when I went to the hospital and checked, the doctor said that I’m mentally unhealthy. I don’t want to go crazy! Please help me.”
Conrad remembered Fia. Jason said that she has mild depression.
Compared to Esme, she’s in a much better condition.
“If you’re sick, Esme. Tell your family to bring you to the hospital for treatment.”
“I did. The doctor said I’m too insecure. I need someone who can make me safe to accompany me! Conrad, you’re that person! You can’t just leave me!”
Conrad held Esme’s shoulders and wanted to push her away.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed in and there was a stream of clicking sounds.
“Seriously? Mr. Maxwell and Ms. Manning?!”
All the reporters were shocked.
Esme was so shocked that she held onto Conrad even tighter.
“Don’t blame Conrad! It’s all me! I seduced him! This has nothing to do with Conrad!”
“What are you talking about, Esme?”
Conrad could feel his body becoming hotter.
That scent was working.
Meanwhile, Fia and Eileen were sitting on the floor as they slurped a bowl of instant ramen each.
Eileen smiled and said, “You’re pregnant. You can’t eat too much of this junk food.”
Fia showed her one finger and said with a smile, “Just this one time.”
Eileen grabbed the television controller and switched the television on.
“I went to an award ceremony a few days ago. They’re going to show it today. I’ll switch the channel.”
“Sure,” Fia said as she slurped more noodles, her eyes fixed on the television.
Eileen was switching channels when it stopped at the local entertainment channel. There was a large group of people and they saw Conrad among them.
“Fla? Why is your husband on the news?”
Fia frowned.
The reporter on the television continued with the report. “We never thought that we’d manage to get something this huge during Mr. Manning’s birthday party today. The youngest and most talented businessman in Gryphon, Mr. Maxwell, and the daughter of Mr. Manning are lovers.”
The grip on the spoon that Fia was holding tightened. She knew the background in one look.
“That’s my cousin’s room.”
Eileen cursed. “That can’t be, right? How can the two of them do it so openly?”
“They went straight to the bedroom as soon as I left the Manning household, huh?”
Fia smiled forlornly. “Before I left, I remember seeing those reporters. They said they were invited there by my uncle to report on his birthday party to build up some reputation for the Manning household.”
Eileen asked, “Why did they take pictures of your husband and her instead?!”
“I don’t know. Knocked on the wrong door? Maybe… This is a trap by the Mannings?”
“Fia…” Eileen held Fia’s hand. “You said it yourself. This is a trap. Don’t imagine things, okay?”
Fia smiled.
“A trap… Requires the target to act as they planned.”
“Fia, didn’t you say that you and Conrad were doing quite well lately?”
Fia lowered her head and pushed away Eileen’s hand, continuing to eat another mouthful of noodles.
She then said, “He’s fine when he’s not meeting her. But the moment he sees her, he can’t stop it anymore.
“To think that I actually believed that he was innocent. That nothing happened between them.”

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....
