Chapter 21
The three women were having fun chatting with each other
Suddenly, a man’s firm footsteps echoed from the front door. The three of them turned over and glared with hostile eyes.
Conrad frowned and immediately ignored their hostility.
“Grandmother Thea. Echo. Where’s Fia?”
Eileen snorted “My, oh my, Mr. Maxwell. You’re having so much fun out there. You’ve already spent one full day with your previous lover… Do you still remember that you have a wife at home?”
Conrad looked back at Eileen and simply countered her, “You’re just an outsider. It’s not your place to say anything about how I run my household.”
“HA. At least I’m not as shameless as a certain someone who spent time with another woman while he still has a family at home!” Eileen said. When Conrad’s cold eyes glared at her, she continued, “Fia’s my best friend. I told you three years ago to treat her well. If you don’t, I’ll let you suffer even if I have to sacrifice everything!”
“I did treat her well,” Conrad muttered
Thea snorted and asked, “Where did you spend the whole day, then?”
Conrad refused to answer.
Echo patted her mother’s back and said gently, “Conrad, we don’t mind you spending time with Esme as a friend now that she’s back. But today, the headline in Gryphon’s news is a picture of you and Esme
holding hands together. You’re someone with a family. Even if you don’t care about Fia’s reputation, you do have to take care of the Maxwells” reputation.”
Conrad unbuttoned the topmost button on his shirt.
“You should rest more, Echo. You should let Fia and I handle our own problems. Stop worrying about it.”
Echo began coughing again as Conrad defied her.
Thea roared out in anger. “If your grandfather is here, he won’t spare you the rod!”
Conrad stood there straight with a similarly hostile tone. “My marriage with Fia is something that all of you had a hand in three years ago. If Esme and I did hurt her, you’re the cause of all of her pain!”
“What did you say?!” Thea was so enraged that she couldn’t keep her hand still.
Eileen darted up from her seat as her temper exploded.
“Conrad Maxwell If you dare stay with Esme Manning without Fia’s agreement in this, I’ll expose all of this to the medial”
She was an outsider, yes. She didn’t know a lot of people, but she knew a lot of reporters who were in the business! It would be very easy for her to expose someone!
“Ms Reid
last week”
Maxwell let out a dreadful smirk. “If I remember correctly, I saw you in the Cave of Wonders
Eileen froze as a hint of anxiety appeared in her eyes.
“I wonder what the media would say if they found out someone like you did not become popular with your
own talents, Ms Reid?”
Eileen tightened her fists in nervousness.
Conrad sneered. “Someone as useless as you dare to stir up problems in my house?”
Fia had walked out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly cut fruits just in time to see Conrad coming home She had also listened to their conversation.

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....
