Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 493

Chapter 493

Conrad frowned, thinking about his late mother–in–law who was as skinny as a match before she died due to the hardship she went through. 

If they stood side–by–side now, their difference would be like. heaven and earth. Who would think that they had once loved each other? 

Seeing the lady who was dressed nobly standing by Conall, with her hand holding onto the middle–aged man’s arm, a hint of caution appeared in his brows. 

Finn noticed Conrad’s examining gaze and introduced them.” This is my elder brother and my sister–in–law.” 

He paused for a moment. “Fia’s father and stepmother.” 

“Ha.” Conrad laughed, his meaning unclear. He pointed at the sofa and spoke. “Please, sit.” 

Mrs. Whitley served a plate of fruits. “Everyone, please have some.” 

Conall brought his wife and sat down. His secretary and assistant stood behind the sofa respectfully. 

Annie lowered her head and pulled Finn to be seated as well. 

Finn sat down and immediately said, “Quickly ask Fia to come over. My brother rushed overnight to be here. He still hasn’t had proper rest till now.” 

Conrad looked at the dark circles under Conall’s eyes and swept 

a glance at his wife who was dressed well and had exquisite makeup on.

He sat at the main seat and said faintly, “Fia is having her breakfast.” 

“Having breakfast?” Joy Hall had a look of disdain. “We rushed over without stopping once we heard of her existence. And she doesn’t even know to immediately meet us? How is this acceptable?” 

“You have something to say?” Conrad directly retorted coldly. “If you do, leave!” 

He was merciless. Just now, when he sized up Joy, he already knew that this stepmother of Fia was no simpleton. 

Conall peeled away Joy’s arm and said to his assistant, “Bring Madam back to the hotel!” 

“Conall, am I not doing this for yo…” 

“Leave!” Conall coldly interjected his wife. He never planned on bringing her. It was she who had stuck to him, saying that she was afraid of being a stepmother for the first time and it would make Fia think that she did not like her or something along those lines. 

However, the moment she opened her mouth, she offended his hard–to–deal–with son–in–law. How could she still stay here! 

Joy knew Conall’s temper and did not dare to dawdle and got up to leave. 

“Finn, you and Annie should also leave first.” Conall spoke again. 

Finn was not at ease. Conrad was a rascal. 

“Brother, he…”

“I’m the one here to acknowledge my daughter, not you!” Conall looked at Finn coldly. Back then, him being apart from Echo was also related to him! 

All these years, he thought that Echo had long left and they had both settled down and so he slowly started to let things go. 

Now, he had suddenly found out that Echo had quietly given birth to a daughter for him and had brought her up all by herself, yet died in sickness and pain in the end. 

He did not even have a chance to see her the last time. All kinds of complicated feelings made him feel as if a scorpion had 

bitten his heart. 

Finn had some self–awareness and pulled Annie along to leave. 

Before Annie left, she took a deep look at Conrad. 

She would definitely work hard to make this outstanding man 

see her. 

She definitely would! 

Conall also got his secretary to leave, and faced Conrad alone. 

The two of them looked at each other, not saying anything for a 

period of time.
