Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 876

 

Chapter 876 

Seeing Fia being suspicious, Conrad patiently explained, “My condition requires twenty-four- hour monitoring by a licensed physician. So it’s much easier for him to treat me if he stays with us. 

Learning the reason for needing a live-in doctor, Fia’s eyes shone and she said, “I see. Okay, I’m fine with that. It’s for my husband’s health after all.” 

Still, Marcus was not someone who knew courtesy and manners. When they reached their villa, Conrad asked Silas to prepare the guest room for the doctor but Marcus took interest in the cottages behind the villa. He pointed at one of the cottages and said, “I’ll live in that one. 

Fia stared at Marcus in surprise and disbelief. Not wanting to keep the doctor in the dark, Silast smiled at Marcus politely, “Mr. White, that’s the accommodation for the housekeepers and bodyguards.” 

However, Marcus responded with a bright smile, “Oh, don’t you worry about me. I only need a place to stay.” 

Despite not understanding, Marcus’ decision, Conrad conceded and ordered Silas, “Silas, go tidy up a cottage with Mrs. Whitley for the doctor.” 

“Yes, sir.” 

Having received his orders, Silas took the luggage off Marcus’ hands and hurried to find his mother. However, a brief moment later, he came rushing back and said awkwardly, “My mom told me that there’s no vacant cottages left. Well… there were two vacant ones but they’re now used as storehouses. Mr. White, perhaps you might find staying in the guest room in the villa more to your liking.” 

“Naw, it’s fine. I’ll take one of the storehouses then.” 

Silas cautiously turned and looked at Conrad, waiting for his decision. 

Conrad nodded and said, “Just provide Mr. White the place he wants.” 

Seeing this, Fia added, “Get more people to help move out the stuff in the storehouse and clean up the place. Make sure Mr. White’s accommodation is clean and comfortable.” 

“Yes, sir! Yes, madam!” 

Silas hurried back into the villa to get help. A moment later, Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley came to help clean the storehouse. The bodyguards were ordered to help move the stuff inside. 

Glancing at the bodyguards, Marcus joked cynically, “Mr. Maxwell has a really tight home security. Quite impressive.” 

Looking at the bodyguards, Fia pulled Conrad’s sleeve and whispered, “I’ve been meaning to ask… Why do we have so many security guards in the house all a sudden?” 

Conrad felt a pang of hurt in his chest upon hearing that. Back then, there were no security guards in their home. Fla had only Mrs. Taylor as her company in the whole house. It must have been very lonely for her. 

“And… this villa isn’t the one we lived in, is it?” Fla frowned and pointed at a villa nearby. That one. It should be that one. That one’s our home.” 

Conrad hugged her and smiled. “It’s okay. They’re all the same. Besides, we can afford to live anywhere we like.” 

Despite still being uncomfortable with all the sudden changes, Fia was overjoyed to see 

Conrad hugging her with such care and love. So she allowed him to escort her into the villa, still in his embrace. 

At lunch time, Marcus was not willing to have his meal at the same table as Conrad and Fia. He did not want the treatment of a guest. Instead, he went to the backyard to have lunch with Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Whitley, and the bodyguards. 

Due to him not behaving haughtily and snobbishly around them, the housekeepers and bodyguards got along with Marcus rather quickly at lunch. Nonetheless, they were still shocked by his enormous appetite for food. His hunger was not satiated until he ate three. people’s worth of meals. 

After lunch, Conrad escorted Fia to the master bedroom for some rest. Silas stood by at the door. When he saw his boss coming over, he hurried to him, “Sir, I’ve done what you asked.” 

Conrad nodded and asked, “So, found anything peculiar?”
