SWNOVELS Chapter 41
Stop It, She's Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 41
"What?" Fia felt her heart thumping when she saw his deep set eyes.
Did he notice the medicine that she hid in her bag?
Did he search for her bag when he went up to the room to search for things?
That shouldn't be it. He respected her privacy and would never search her belongings.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you what?”
Fia could feel her heartbeat speed up. Did he really see the medicine in her bag?
"My mother might have forced you to eat medicine in the past two years, but that's for your own well-being. Even after we're separated, after you're cured, you and your future husband can still..." Conrad paused. He felt agitated when he thought of her being with another man.
"Mrs. Taylor told me that not only did my mother yell at you constantly, she even forced you to go for some needle therapy. I heard it was very painful."
"Huh?" Fia couldn't react just yet.
"Why didn't you tell me? Don't you feel sad about it?"
Fia frowned and said, "Would you fight with your mom if I had told you?"
"No, but I would have complained to her."
"She's your mom. You know her. If I had told you anything, it would get even worse the next time."
Conrad sighed. "You still didn't know how to fight back, just like when you were still in school."
"Fight back? I did, and she fell into the pond because of her own actions. Then, you assumed I wanted to kill her." The way Fia looked at him was filled with scorn, apathy, and disappointment. Conrad didn't want to continue with this topic and suddenly placed his hand on her chest.
"What are you doing?!" Fia could feel her heart almost jump out of her chest when he suddenly did that.
Conrad then asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
She gulped softly. "I'm not."
"Fia..." Conrad got closer to her deliberately and whispered in Fia's ears. "It's been three years. Why are you still so skittish? Three years... You never wanted me keenly."
Fia was speechless. Was he mad? Why did he bring those things up so frequently in the past few days?
"You need to be aware that we're still husband and wife."
Just as Fia was getting overwhelmed and was thinking of faking retching to get out of the current situation, her savior appeared.
"Mr. Maxwell..." Silas ran over with a folder of documents, but he immediately turned around when he saw the two.
"What is it?" Conrad pinched at Fia's chin as he supported himself, pushing against the wall behind her.
Fia tried to crouch down and wanted to leave by walking under his arm, but he simply blocked her by moving his arm down.
"What is it, Silas?"
"Mr. Maxwell, the divorce papers are ready. I'm delivering them to you.
Conrad looked at the person in front of him. He suddenly felt that it was very ironic.
What was he trying to do when they were going to get divorced soon?
"Can you let me go, Mr. Maxwell?" Fia raised her head and smiled at him mockingly.
Conrad gulped and lowered his arm to his side.
Fia quickly walked away.
"Wait," Conrad said as he stopped Fia. "Silas, let her read the papers."
"Madam." Silas gave her the document with both hands.
Fia clenched her fists before accepting the document and giving it a read.
Conrad looked at her and then said to her when she was almost finished, "If you have anything to say, you can say it now so that I can have Silas change it."
Fia then said coldly, "Grandma said that she's not selling the project."
"We can discuss the price," Conrad said.
Fia smiled coldly and didn't even care that Silas was present when she retorted, "Not bad, Mr. Maxwell. One moment ago, you wanted to bed me. And now, you want to discuss the terms of our divorce so you can buy it for the woman you love."
"Madam, the price that Mr. Maxwell offered is quite good..."
"No!" Fia cut Silas off before turning to look at Conrad. "You can forget about it!"
Conrad glanced at Silas.
Silas then said, "I'll take my leave first. Mr. Maxwell, Madam, please discuss this."
Conrad then grabbed the divorce papers from Fia's hand before dragging her to the living room where he forced her to sit.
