    Chapter 336


    Their eyes met.


    The firmness in his eyes became even stronger.


    Fia couldn’t understand. She was confused.


    Why would someone who put so much emphasis on his career want to stop his n of expanding to


    the capital city?


    “Fia, to me, my family is more important than my career right now.”


    Conrad turned and stepped forward toward Fia. “Do you understand what I’m trying to say, Fia?”


    Fia took a step back uncontrobly. The burning sensation came again.


    “Conrad, do you even know what you’re saying?”


    “I know.”


    “You…” Fia shook her head hastily. “You don’t understand anything. The reason that you’re saying all


    of this is because of your own guilt. Or maybe because you’re used to me waiting for you at home.”


    Conrad knit his brows. “I admit. Those might be some of the reasons, but that’s not the whole story.


    “How tainted,” Fia said as she felt her heart sink. The reason that she married him was because of


    love. But the reason he married her or the reason that he wanted to continue this marriage wasn’t


    because of love.


    “What’s tainted?” Conrad couldn’t understand what it was that Fia couldn’t let go of.


    He was feeling somewhat anxious and quickly walked over and held her shoulders as his voice


    became louder. “You think that all I didtely is an act? Can’t you feel that I’m changing? Can’t you see


    that I’m changing for you?”


    Fia shook her head, getting misty–eyed as she repeated the same word. “Tainted.”


    She refused to ept his guilt, his attempts to make amends, or his ustomedness to this. She


    wished for his rationale to match hers.


    Love.


    Nothing less than love could make her stay.


    “What do you mean by tainted? What do you want!” Conrad’s emotion was starting to get the better of


    him.


    Fia could feel the pain from her shoulders as he grabbed her, but she didn’t even frown. She simply


    said, ” You’re stopping your ns, right? That means you won’t be busytely. Let’splete the


    divorce paperwork tomorrow.”


    She tried to make it sound as easy as possible.


    She didn’t get any love from him in this marriage, so there was no need to reveal anything anymore


    before she had to leave.


    Let him believe that this was all a mistake. That they were forced to marry by their elders.


    Before she left, she wanted what was left of her dignity to be intact.


    “What are you thinking again?!” Conrad pushed Fia, and when he saw that she swayed because he


    pushed


    her, he quickly helped her up again.


    “Don’t touch me!” Fia pushed his hand away. “I have had enough of you treating me so erratically!”


    “Aren’t


    you the one forcing me each time? Every time I wanted to talk with you, you would say something like


    this! You never gave me a chance!”


    “You…” Fia gritted her teeth. She couldn’t say anything anymore. Not herints. Not her hatred.


    Not. even how he and Esme hurt her in the past.


    He got used to being the center of the world. If he would be like this every time he got angry, it


    was pointless no matter what she said.


    At the end of the day, he didn’t love her. That was why he couldn’t think from her perspective.


    Perhaps…. He couldn’t love others more than he loved himself.


    “Tomorrow at nine. Let’s go to the city hall.” Fia ended the conversation there. She immediately turned


    around and walked back into the guest room. She didn’t want to see him again. She would rather die of


    thirst than go down to have a drink.


    Five in the evening. Mrs. Taylor knocked at the guest room door.

    “Are you asleep, madam?”


    Fia opened her eyes. She couldn’t sleep, of course. She was only resting her eyes.


    “No.”


    “Dinner is ready. Come down and have dinner.”


    Fia wanted to say that she wasn’t hungry and didn’t want to eat. But when she remembered how her


    body was, she got up and opened the door.


    “Where is he?”


    “He went out. He said that there’s no need to wait for him for dinner.” Mrs. Taylor paused and asked,


    “Did you two fight again?”


    “No. We just had a chat.”


    Mrs. Taylor wanted to say something else. But when she saw how cold Fia was being, she had no


    choice but to give up.


    At a certain bar.


    A man wearing shades sitting in the middle of the bar was drinking. The women around him were


    stirred. by his looks, but every time a woman wanted to get close to him, his bodyguards would stop


    them.


    After a few times, no woman dared to approach him anymore.


    Suddenly, there was a bang. Someone kicked a chair and it hit the table.
