Conrad froze and stood next to the flowerbed after seeing his wife giving him the cold shoulder.
Sophia quietly approached him and said timidly, “Sir… Don’t think too much about it. Madam is just tired and wants to turn in early.”
Conrad gave a bitter smile. “Sophia, you’ll take the guest bedroom tonight.”
After making sure Sophia had a place to sleep tonight, Conrad stepped away to drag Tyler to his home. After sending his drunk friend home, Conrad walked out of the Lanes’ villa and stared at the night sky.
He felt lost.
Before he realized just how much he loved Fia, all Conrad knew was work, work, work. He did not have to worry about all these woeful feelings.
“Conrad.”
Suddenly, Sapphire walked into the streetlights and toward Conrad.
“Why are you standing here in the middle of night? Aren’t you going home?”
Conrad took a glance at her and asked, “How’s Victor?”
“Thanks to you, he still lives. He hasn’t lost too much blood, or else he’d be a goner by now.” Sapphire sighed before sitting on a bench nearby.
They then stared at the stars silently.
Moments later, Sapphire asked, “Conrad, Victor had hurt you a lot in the past. Why did you still save him?”
“He’s a Maxwell. There are only two Maxwells left in my generation.”
Sapphire turned and looked at Conrad. “You’ve changed.”
“You think so?” Conrad smiled bitterly at her. “Perhaps it’s true that love can change a person. It makes one weak.”
“If it were in the past, you wouldn’t bat an eye even if Victor was dying. He’d think he’s reaping what he sowed.”
Trying to deny that he had turned into a good Samaritan, Conrad said, “No. In one way or another, I’m still involved in that incident in the northern suburbs… I feel responsible. If the project of the northern suburbs did not fall into his hands, he would not have to go through this.”
“He’s the one who wanted to grab the project from you. So he has to bear the consequences,” Sapphire said.
Pausing for a few seconds, Conrad asked, “How’s your marriage?”

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....
