Chapter 336
Their eyes met.
The firmness in his eyes became even stronger.
Fia couldn’t understand. She was confused.
Why would someone who put so much emphasis on his career want to stop his plan of expanding to the capital city?
“Fia, to me, my family is more important than my career right now.”
Conrad turned and stepped forward toward Fia. “Do you understand what I’m trying to say, Fia?”
Fia took a step back uncontrollably. The burning sensation came again.
“Conrad, do you even know what you’re saying?”
“I know.”
“You…” Fia shook her head hastily. “You don’t understand anything. The reason that you’re saying all of this is because of your own guilt. Or maybe because you’re used to me waiting for you at home.” Conrad knit his brows. “I admit. Those might be some of the reasons, but that’s not the whole story.
“How tainted,” Fia said as she felt her heart sink. The reason that she married him was because of love. But the reason he married her or the reason that he wanted to continue this marriage wasn’t because of love.
“What’s tainted?” Conrad couldn’t understand what it was that Fia couldn’t let go of.
He was feeling somewhat anxious and quickly walked over and held her shoulders as his voice became louder. “You think that all I did lately is an act? Can’t you feel that I’m changing? Can’t you see that I’m changing for you?”
Fia shook her head, getting misty–eyed as she repeated the same word. “Tainted.”
She refused to accept his guilt, his attempts to make amends, or his accustomedness to this. She wished for his rationale to match hers.
Love.
Nothing less than love could make her stay.
“What do you mean by tainted? What do you want!” Conrad’s emotion was starting to get the better of him.
Fia could feel the pain from her shoulders as he grabbed her, but she didn’t even frown. She simply said, ” You’re stopping your plans, right? That means you won’t be busy lately. Let’s complete the divorce paperwork tomorrow.”
She tried to make it sound as easy as possible.
She didn’t get any love from him in this marriage, so there was no need to reveal anything anymore before she had to leave.
Let him believe that this was all a mistake. That they were forced to marry by their elders.
Before she left, she wanted what was left of her dignity to be intact.
“What are you thinking again?!” Conrad pushed Fia, and when he saw that she swayed because he pushed
her, he quickly helped her up again.
“Don’t touch me!” Fia pushed his hand away. “I have had enough of you treating me so erratically!”
“Aren’t
you the one forcing me each time? Every time I wanted to talk with you, you would say something like this! You never gave me a chance!”
“You…” Fia gritted her teeth. She couldn’t say anything anymore. Not her complaints. Not her hatred. Not. even how he and Esme hurt her in the past.
He got used to being the center of the world. If he would become like this every time he got angry, it was pointless no matter what she said.
At the end of the day, he didn’t love her. That was why he couldn’t think from her perspective.
Perhaps…. He couldn’t love others more than he loved himself.
“Tomorrow at nine. Let’s go to the city hall.” Fia ended the conversation there. She immediately turned around and walked back into the guest room. She didn’t want to see him again. She would rather die of thirst than go down to have a drink.
Five in the evening. Mrs. Taylor knocked at the guest room door.
“Are you asleep, madam?”
Fia opened her eyes. She couldn’t sleep, of course. She was only resting her eyes.

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....
