Chapter 344
“Sir?”
The word cut open a wound in Conrad’s heart.
“We’re husband and wife. Why must you address me like that?”
“It’s an honorific,” Fia said with a smile. She then hurled a punch at his chest and walked out of his arms.
Conrad looked at her. While she couldn’t smile wholeheartedly, she looked radiant.
He really liked the way she smiled.
“Alright then, Fia. Let’s not talk about the divorce before your recovery, alright?”
Fia looked at him as she narrowed her eyes. He once again asked for the divorce to be canceled sincerely.
He could already say that he loved her, and the sentiment was very genuine.
There was no need to fake it in the first place.
“I don’t need forty–two days. Thirty days are enough. Deducting the ten days we spent in the hospital… Twenty days.” With that, she sat down in front of the dressing table and grabbed a pen and paper.
Seeing that Conrad was still standing there, she said, “I can agree to temporarily halting the divorce, but you’re not allowed to interfere with my life.”
Conrad looked at the lines on the paper and knew that she was starting to work on a new design.
“Alright. I won’t disturb you. If there’s anything, call me. I’ll be working in my study.”
“You’re not going back to the company?”
“No. Silas will contact me directly if there’s anything important.”
“No meetings?”
“I can stream meetings.”
Fia frowned and wanted to remind him that it was not an easy task to get his business expanded into the capital city. It wouldn’t be good for him to be so careless. But after giving it a thought, it had nothing to do with her. Not to mention that he was someone who always had a plan when it came to work. There was no need for her to worry. “Then you can leave.”
Conrad reached the door before giving Fia a deep stare and leaving.
Twenty days.
He needed to make Fia change her perception toward him in twenty days!
Study.
Conrad had already worked in front of his computer for about an hour when his phone rang.
He looked at the caller and accepted the call. He put it on loudspeaker and then placed the phone on the
table.
“What is it?”
“Mr. Maxwell, I… My brother had already confessed to everything that Esme had done. Can you please ask Director Parker to show some mercy?”
Conrad raised his head and stretched his neck as he gave it a thought.
“Uncle Manning…” While he addressed him as such, there was no respect toward him in that tone of his. Instead, the tone was full of mockery. “As long as Assistant Director Manning explains everything to the director, I believe that the director will show some leniency after seeing he’s repented.”
“Mr…”
Conrad didn’t give Hank any chance to continue and hung up. He also blacklisted his new phone number.

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....
