An adorable figure curled up to a glob on the bed as rays of sunlight slipped through the window
curtains into the room.
Conrad, having finished a phone call, walked into the room, got
on the bed, andid his eyes on the glob on the bed.
After a while, she mumbled, “What time is it?”
Conrad nced at his watch. “It’s past 10.”
She took a deep sigh after taking two seconds to recollect herself. “Oh well, that’s one morning
wasted.”
Conrad scooted over to her and gently patted her head.
“It’s alright. Just lie down longer if you’re tired.”
Fia took a deep breath and hugged the hand that was patting her head.
“How about youze with me on the bed for a while? After lunch, I’ll apany you to thepany.“.
“Sure.”
Conrad pulled away the nket and cuddled with Fia.
This made Fia feel safe andfortable, scooped into Conrad’s embrace, and she nudged her back
firmly to his chest.
Conrad frowned and slightly moved back a little.
This position would stick them too close to one another–it was
too intense for him.
However, the lovelydy kept moving closer to him every time he moved away.
Having no choice, Conrad put a hand on her back, trying to stop her from sticking too closely to him.
“Fia, stop it.”
“But you’re not hugging me tight enough!”
Hearing this, Conrad stopped his resistance, as he had been doing his best suppressing his urges.
Nheless, Fia still was able to feel that his body temperature was rising.
Finally understanding what was going on, Fia turned over andid a finger on his chest.
“Conrad… Are you… turned on right now?”
”
The Adam’s apple on Conrad’s throat bobbed after hearing this.

Seeing this, Fia mischievously nudged over and nted a kiss. on his Adam’s apple.
Conrad pushed her down softly. “Fia, it’s okay. You’re not in a good mood right now.”
“And that is exactly why I want it now.”
Fia curled her hands around his neck and kissed his chin, all the
way up to his lips.
“I want to feel happy, Conrad.”
Her voice was so sweet that it tickled her man’s bones.
Annie arrived at the Foreign Affairs Department’s director’s office, thinking that she would have a
chance to submit documents.
Barbara took a nce at her before continuing on with her work.
“Leave the documents there. I’ll have a look at themter.”
“Auntie, I want to…”
Barbara pped her pen onto her desk with a soft thud and she gave Annie a cold re.
“We are at work right now!”
Annie bit her lip. “My apologies, Director Thomas.”
“If you’ve got something to say, just say it.”
“My uncle went to the Maxwells to formally introduce himself as
Mrs. Maxwell’s father this morning. I went with him too.”
Barbara frowned. “So?”
“We did not get to meet Mrs. Maxwell.”
Annie paused with a saddened look on her face.
“I’m afraid that the incident earlier about the delivery package had strained Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell’s
rtionship. Could it be that they had a fierce fight? Was that why we’re not allowed to
meet her?”
Barbara squinted at her. “Annie, what exactly are you implying?”
“It’s almost noon and Mr. Maxwell hasn’t arrived at work yet.
You’re a director… So, perhaps you could go check on them? I fear that…”
“Annie Parker!” Barbara pped her hand on her desk loudly.” You’re merely an employee. What do
you care what’s happening in their personal lives?! Haven’t you learned your lesson from that delivery
package incident?! Keep Mr. Maxwell out of your little head!”
“No, no! Don’t get me wrong.” Annie anxiously waved her hands. ” I’m just worried that their fight could
escte into violence at their home, where no one’s watching. Mrs. Maxwell is a fragiledy. There’s
no way she could win Mr. Maxwell in a fist fight, not with her being blind and all that!”
Barbara gave Annie an inquisitive look. “How do you know they’d be fighting?”
