Chapter 582
Mary sat down with her son in her arms and noticed that Fia was lost in thought. She asked in concern,
“Mrs. Maxwell, what’s wrong?”
“Did Mr. Lane make ns to meet with my husband in advance?”
“No, he didn’t. I called my husband toin, then sent him a video of you and Mr. Maxwell ying
in the sand. He only came over because he recognized Mr. Maxwell.”
Fia smiled and asked, “Did you secretly take a video of us to send to your husband so he would
avenge you?”
“No! That’s not it!” Maryughed heartily before answering sincerely, “I was only curious and wanted to
see if my husband recognized Mr. Maxwell because he gave off a feeling of not being ordinary.”
Fia nodded and couldn’t help but ask, “My husband saved Mr. Lane before, but did you know him
already then?”
Mary shook her head.
“Tyler wouldn’t tell the children or me if anything happened to him outside. He’s afraid we would worry.”
Fia looked at the child in Mary’s arms and felt somewhat sad.
Mary asked curiously, “With how wealthy and powerful Mr. Maxwell is, I’m sure he has quite a few
people who have it out for him, right?”
Fia nodded. “I’m sure there are.”
Even though Conrad would tell her that whatever matters that popped up had been resolved, she was
sure he hadn’t been entirely truthful with her.
“Then, you should be careful not to get caught up in someone else’s troubles.”
Mary sounded concerned, and Fia noted the tone as she looked at the other woman seriously before
asking, “Have you been through something?”
Mary looked down at her son in her arms, hesitant to answer as she didn’t want her son to hear it.
Just then, a servant brought some fruit drinks, so Mary passed her son to the servant, asking him to
y with her sister. Then, she finally turned to Fia and said, “I had an ident when I was pregnant.”
It was a simple statement, but Fia could already imagine it was much more than that. However, she
didn’t press further, afraid it would be like rubbing salt into Mary’s wounds.
“Anyway, just be careful, okay? But don’t worry about it too much either. Society is governed byw, so
people with bad intentions can’t act too openly.”
Fia nodded, inexplicably thinking about Esme.
“If bad people have no intention of living, then thew can’t punish them either.”
“You’re absolutely right!” Mary said, her expression turning grave. “If I could turn back time and grow up
again, I would have chosen to learn martial arts for self-defense from a young age so I wouldn’t be
weak now and could protect the people I love!”
“Mommy, prettydy!” A little girl’s cute, childish voice rang out as Tyler’s daughter led her brother over
to the two women. “Prettydy, do you want to y in the sandpit with my brother and me? Let’s go!”
“Silly girl, go y with your brother and stop causing a fuss here, okay?” Mary said with a slightly fierce
look.

“No, Mommy. You and Daddy can y with that uncle, while this prettydy can y with my brother
and me for a while!”
Mary was about to rebuke the little girl, but Fia quickly stood and said, “Sure, let’s go!”
“Yes! That’s great!”
Mary shook her head helplessly as she watched her daughter lead Fia away. Now that Fia was not with
her, Mary decided to see if there was anything she needed to do in the vi.

“Prettydy, do you think my mommy likes to scare people?” the girl asked sweetly.
don’t think so. She’s a nicedy.”
“Oh, okay. Daddy said Mommy was injured when she was pregnant with us, so she became a little
crazy.”
Fia was stunned at the information and didn’t know what to say. After all, she wasn’t clear about what
had happened in the Lane family.
The little girl held her brother’s hand tightly and said seriously, “I don’t know why she’s always so
nervous. Even though my brother looks like he’s not growing well, he’s doing great! Besides, I can also
protect my brother!”
Fia listened and realized the little girl’s thoughts were a little moreplicated than she thought.
“Darling…”
