    “You don’t know?” Fiaughed lightly. “When she came of age, you gave her a set of peach blossom


    scented skin care products, and on the packaging were huge pink peach blossoms.


    “You say you don’t know?”


    This lie was not the least bit perfect.


    Conrad was slightly stunned and then at a loss.


    “I didn’t.”


    Fia was instantly angered and pushed away his hand, wanting to get off the chair.


    She lost her bnce and just as she was about to fall, Conrad scooped her back into his arms.


    “Let me help you dry your hair.”


    His voice was gentle, instantly suppressing Fia’s anger.


    She was like a puppet as she let him dry her hair.


    After drying her hair, he picked her up and walked over to the bedroom’s big bed and said, “You should


    have your afternoon nap now.”


    After a sleep, her mood should be a little better.


    The moment Fia hit the bed, she turned around andy on her tummy.


    Conrad stared at the back of her head, feeling that she was in a very bad mood.


    After hesitating, he sat down on the bedside, not daring to touch her hand.


    Now when she got angry, he could not touch her.


    The more he touched, the more she was like a porcupine.


    “Did Sally say something to you?”


    Fia did not speak, a surge of anger leaping about in her chest, expending, wanting the life of her


    emotions!


    Since young, he had always been her belief. She worshiped him, adored him.


    So, why was she constantly disappointed now?


    Even when he lied, he did not hesitate.


    “I’m going to make a call.”


    Conrad knew that he could not get an answer from her, so he walked out of the room to call Sally.


    Sally was arranging for her brother to drive Britney back and as she waved to her brother, she picked


    up the call.


    “Hello, Mr. Maxwell, thank you for treating everyone today.”


    “What did you say to Fia? Since she came back, something hasn’t been right.”


    Sally frowned and told Conrad the truth about what she had said to Fia.


    Hearing Britney’s name being strung together with the peach blossom scent, Conrad once again


    thought about Esme and his face darkened.


    “Doctor Hall, is this friend of yours, Britney, trustworthy?”


    “Yes. She is an honestdy. Didn’t you all see? Her eyes were mostly on my brother. She likes my


    brother a lot. She doesn’t even fancy a good man like Jason!”


    Sally spoke seriously and righteously, not wanting the peach blossom scented hand moisturizer to


    create a bad image of Britney on Conrad and Fia.


    Conrad hung up frustrated and returned to the bedroom.


    He stared at Fia who had not moved at all.


    “Fia.”


    He squatted down by the bed. “Going back to the topic earlier, I really


    did not give her any peach blossom scented gift.”


    “Did you forget? It was aing-of-age gift!” Fia red at him. fiercely.


    He gave a helpless smile. “It’s not like I have amnesia.”


    Fia suddenly felt her heart ache and her eyes started to water as she choked. “How could you not


    remember? She even purposely showed it to me.”


    Showed off in front of her.

    Conrad frowned and thought about it. “Have you forgotten that on the day of hering of age, I did


    not even attend it?”


    Fia was stunned. Oh, right, he didn’t attend.


    But Esme had indeed received his gift of peach blossom fragrance.


    “Grandpa had just thrown me into training and I was not even in Gryphon for quite a few months.”


    Silence.


    Right, he wasn’t even in Gryphon for quite a few months.


    Only Esme kept saying that he would call and message her every day.


    However, she had never received his calls, nor did she see any ofthose so-called messages.Could it


    be?


    Fia frowned. Could it be that Esme had lied to her?


    “Then on the day of hering of age, did you call or message her?” “No,” Conrad replied without


    even having to think.
