Chapter 495
Conrad stood up with her and it was as if all energy was used up on the conversation as she snuggled into his embrace.
She buried her face in his embrace, not letting the “old friend” see her tears and pain.
Acting coy in Conrad’s embrace on purpose, she said, “Conrad, I didn’t sleep well. Carry me up to continue sleeping.”
“Sure.” Conrad picked her up, looked at Conall, and said. “We won’t be seeing you off.”
Conall immediately stood up, wanting to call out to her to not let her leave, wanting to say something, but ultimately, he did not have the face to say anything.

On Mount Reditus.
Autumn was coming and the temperature in the morning was not high, and the wind could even be considered cold.
Conall was holding a bouquet of baby’s breath, standing in front of the cliff of Mount Reditus with tears streaming down his old face. “Echo, I’m here to see you. I brought your favorite flowers.”
Just these two short sentences alone made him choked up.
He squatted down and took out the baby’s breath one stalk at a time, and threw them down the cliff.
The wind blew and the baby’s breath flew, as if the wind carried over the words from the heart of an invisible soul.
“Why… Why did you not contact me all these years?”
The man dug up a fistful of soil from Mount Reditus with his
hands.
“Why… Echo, you are truly ruthless!”
He was in pain and blaming himself. He finally experienced the saying “the dead are relieved, while the living are the ones in the most pain“.
He thought back on the joke Echo and him had when they were
young.
The young lady had bright eyes and white teeth. Her smile wast like flowers in summertime. Her brows were naturally cool and now, that child was the same.
The young lady laid in his embrace as he laid on the grassland on Mount Reditus.
The young lady asked, “Conall, say, when we are old, who will die
first?”
The young Conall said with a smile. “How old are you exactly? And you are already thinking about when you are old?”
“Say it. Just tell me.”
The young Conall thought about it seriously and replied Echo who was then still a young lady.
“If I have to choose, then let me die first.”
“Why?” The young lady in his arms started to cry. “Why would you die first?”
“Because if we met with any disaster one day, I hope that I can
be your sky and protect you. When the time comes, Echo, you must stay by my side and watch the flowers and scenery of the world.”
“No! I don’t want you to die first!” She put her arms around his neck tightly. “Let me die first. You should live on properly!”
“Why?”
“Because the one who dies is relieved, but the one who lives on
is the one in the most pain. I don’t want to live on and withstand such suffering. Conall, I tell you, if you dare to leave me or abandon me, in the future I will die before you vigorously, and let you suffer an entire lifetime of pain and suffering!”
“Echo…” Conall knelt by the edge of the cliff on Mount Reditus.” Are you taking revenge for the cruel words I said back then? In life we shall never meet again and in death we will not be together either…”
When they broke up, he had said such ruthless words and she had made them all come to pass all alone.
His tears made the entire view of Gryphon blurry and as he felt the cold breeze flit by, he wanted to leap down, to see the girl he

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....
