”Why? Mr. Lane and his family have been really good friends to us.”
Fia did not understand why Conrad did not seem pleased to hear her wanting to invite the Lanes over.
Conrad looked at her dejectedly. “I just don’t like our circle getting muddled with too many people.”
“The Lanes are good people,” Fia said as she felt bad for her husband. He grew up in a family that taught him to be wary of people, making it difficult for him to truly befriend anyone.
“It’s not just Mary. Many mothers would do the same if they were in her shoes. She nags and complains to Mr. Lane because she loves her son. And Mr. Lane trusts you too. That’s why he talks about his predicament with you.”
Fia kept talking to Conrad, hoping to help him see a clearer picture behind Mary and Tyler’s actions.
“This is not something to worry about, Conrad. This means that you’ve made a good friend—a friend who trusts you with his heart. And you’ll make even more friends from now on.”
Conrad gazed into her starry, beautiful eyes before smiling.
“Alright. Let’s invite them over.”
When they got back home, Fia immediately invited their guests over via a phone call.
Tyler and his family brought along a lot of food to the feast. Seeing this, Tiger quickly came over to inspect the food.
Tyler gave Tiger a bitter smile. “I am quite sure I haven’t done anything bad to you. Yet, you inspect the gifts we brought over as though we’re scheming to harm your boss.”
Tiger explained as he continued inspecting the bags, “Mr. Lane, we’re not suspecting you of anything. We just want to be sure. That’s all. Our enemies could slip something in when you’re not looking…”
“Hey, I was just joking. Tiger, you don’t have to explain yourself with a long face.” Tyler waved his hand and smiled.
“…”
Tiger was speechless. He felt that he needed to explain himself because Mr. Lane seemed offended. Yet, he seemed to not be bothered at all. Maybe Mr. Lane just wanted to chat with him? What a talkative man!
Meanwhile, Fia sat next to Mary and Sharon on the sofa, chatting away with them while scanning the living room with her eyes.

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....
