Chapter 681
Conrad squeezed the package that was less than twenty centimeters in his hand and contemplated throwing it directly into the trash can. However, he knew that doing so would raise even more suspicion from Fia.
So, he found a small knife and opened the package before her to reveal its contents. It was wrapped in a white plastic bag.
Fia approached him and snatched it away to open it herself.
Inside were some photos and labeled papers.
The photos were of Esme, and the labeled papers were in her handwriting. The words on the labels appeared somewhat old, and the pictures were of Esme in her teenage years.
Fia’s hands shook, causing a few of the photos to fall to the ground. She held onto the labeled papers and began reading them out loud, “The weather was clear today. I invited Conrad to the riverside, but he refused. When I was deeply upset by his rejection, he called me half an hour later to say he wanted to take me and Fia to see the Flowerhorn cichlid.”
Fia read several notes in one breath, all documenting Esme’s attempts to invite Conrad actively but being continuously rejected before being followed shortly by suggestions of outing for both Esme and Fia.
Each time, Conrad would take them to activities that were interesting: observing Flowerhorn cichlid, crocodiles, dinosaur replicas, and the famous people’s pavilion throughout the city.
As Conrad listened to Fia recite the contents, memories began to resurface. Since the start, when he planned on making up for Esme’s invites, he always intended to bring along her timid sister.
They never had a truly romantic date like a couple would.
“Who sent this?” Fia’s heart turned cold as she held the photos and labeled papers.
Conrad gave her a blank look. “I don’t know.”
“The contents here accuse me of not understanding boundaries and asking if I needed to accompany you and her every time you guys had a date!” Fia’s voice was sharp as she struggled to contain her emotions.
Conrad frowned and said seriously, “Back then, I simply assumed the two of you had a good sisterly relationship. Since you were timid and had no friends, I didn’t think it was right to leave you alone.”
Fia took a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. However, she failed and threw the photos and labeled papers at Conrad.
“But isn’t he dead? Why does this make me feel like she’s still alive and watching us from the shadows?!”
Conrad pulled her into his arms and said forcefully. “Fia, please calm down, okay? We’ve had too many problems between us and have wasted too much time. We can’t allow ourselves to be swayed or doubt. each other because of someone else’s schemes!”
Fia smelled the cold, woody scent coming from him and took a deep breath, finally calming down.
“Fine. I want to know who sent this before the night ends.”
Then, she broke away from his embrace and sat at the desk, holding a pen and staring at a blank piece of paper, but her mind was in disarray. She couldn’t simply calm down when something unpleasant happened and used drawing to turn her mood around.
Being in the line of creative work, it was easy to be influenced by emotions. Carelessness could lead to a
creative block.

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....
