    “Why don’t we do this? After work, I’ll go buy it for you. When I’ve gotten it, I’ll bring it over and


    apany you.” Sally saw that the atmosphere between the two wasn’t quite right and immediately


    became the peacemaker.


    Fia kicked away the opportunity Sally provided to ease the situation as she looked at Conrad and said


    coolly, “Who said that he’ll take good care of me and the children I’m carrying? Now, he’s unable to


    even fulfill my request for some food.”


    Conrad couldn’t be bothered with the difort he was feeling within and said, “I’ll get Mrs. Taylor to


    make it for you. When Sally gets off work andes to apany you, I’ll and


    get it.”


    Fia replied, “Alright! Bring more. I will eat with Sally.”


    After she finished speaking, she didn’t look at him anymore.


    go back


    Conrad felt that he was like a tool as he listened to Fia talking to Sally while she held her.

    They talked about good food and drinks, things he was totally unable to interject in.


    After talking to Fia for a while, Sally got a call from a patient and left.


    The atmosphere regained its silence.


    Conrad stood at the end of bed and looked at her small face which was indifferent. Her right hand


    tugged at the nket and her body leaned toward the right, totally ignoring him.


    “Fia, can we talk?” He could not help breaking the silence.


    Fia’s lush eyshes trembled, her eyes drooping as if she was about to fall asleep, and she didn’t want


    to say a word.


    Conrad asked, “Fia, why do you not even wish to talk to me now?”


    Fia closed her eyes. “I’m tired.”


    Conrad continued, “You’ve already slept a lot thesest two days.”


    “Pregnancy makes you sleep a lot, don’t you know?” Fia smiled sarcastically. “Oh yeah, the one who’s


    pregnant isn’t you. How would you know?”


    Conrad shut his mouth. If the conversation went on, the two of them would get into a fight again.


    ***


    Sally finished her rounds and returned to the office. She called her brother.


    No one picked up.


    She called a second time, and the voicemail indicated that the receiver’s phone was switched off.


    She couldn’t help but feel nervous and worried, so she called her mother.


    “Mom, has Pete returned home?”


    “He’s home! Britney sent him back and then left. She didn’t want to stay for dinner.” Mrs. Hall sighed.


    “As his sister, just talk to him a little more. Tell him not to drive too quickly. Luckily he only injured his


    hand and the operation was very sessful. He’ll recover as long as he takes good care of himself! If


    he bes like your dad, before he gets married, even if Britney doesn’t mind him, the Thomases


    might not think the same way!”


    Sally quietly listened but didn’t say anything.


    Mrs. Hall said, “The two from the Thomases have always prioritized gain and benefits. Good thing your


    brother is prettypetitive. Otherwise, they would absolutely not let him be their son-inw!”


    “Mom, it’s not like Pete has to have Britney.”


    “He’s already so old and he has not had many girls that he knew by his side. Forget about that


    heartless Manning girl. He wanted to build a good rtionship with her and helped her be a


    famous pianist, but who would’ve known that the moment she came back to the country she wanted to


    marry Conrad! She even caused such a huge ruckus, so much so that I dare not even mention that


    woman whenever I see your brother! All because I’m afraid that your brother would be upset when he


    thinks about it!”


    Sally thought about how Fia was extremely certain that the current Britney was fake.


    She had also been in touch a couple of times and indeed, she was a little different from the Britney of


    the past.


    Although she did not dare to be certain, to be on the safe side, she currently hoped that her brother


    would break up with Britney and not be associated with her!


    “Mom, I have many colleagues in the hospital, both doctors and nurses. All of them have seen. Pete


    before and say that he is handsome, and wish for me to introduce him to them!”


    Her tone was light and happy. “So, my brother is liked by many girls! You and Dad should stop forcing


    him to get married soon, otherwise he would just casually think about getting married and will not be


    willing to interact with new girls!”


    Mrs. Hall thought about it and indeed, the Thomases were people who only thought about benefits.


    When their children had confirmed their rtionship, she had invited the Thomases for dinner but was


    rejected by them.
