Chatper 1175


    Chapter 1175


    The twins were bing more observant as they grew up. So, it was a matter of time before they


    realized that Fortunese people all had white or brown eyes, except for the Maxwells. The Maxwells


    were known to have the rare gic trait of having amber eyes in Fortuna.


    Adrian’s amber eyes were too obvious to be missed. If it were not for him having amnesia at the


    moment, Conrad would suspect something was off too.


    “Adrian, your eyes are the results of a condition from when you were in Mommy’s womb. Your eyes


    were not fully developed like Irene’s.”


    Fia looked at her son’s amber eyes and said softly, “Mommy and Daddy will work hard to develop a


    cure for you. Your eyes will be ck like Irene’s in the future, okay?”


    “But Daddy said my eyes were formed naturally. And taking medicine constantly isn’t good for your


    health!” Adrian said with a frown, He was a little distraught by the fact that his mother seemingly


    disliked his eye color.


    Asking him to wear colored contact lenses was a chore for him already; yet now, his mother was


    nning to change his eye color via drugs and medication? No way!


    “Mommy, don’t you love me?!”


    Fia felt a pang of hurt hearing her son’s disgruntled words. “Of course I love you, Adrian. You and Irene


    are really important to me.”


    “Then, what’s the deal with wanting to change my eye color? What’s wrong with it? Why do you always


    fret about it?” Adrian’s amber eyes began welling with tears.


    Looking at Adrian, Fia knew for the first time that he actually was dissatisfied with her opinion about his


    eyes.


    “You don’t like Mommy asking you to wear colored contact lenses?”


    “Yeah, I don’t like that.” Adrian said dejectedly, “I haven’t done anything wrong. My eyes didn’t do


    anything


    bad either.”


    It was then Fia finally understood the problem. She had been ignoring Adrian’s will. He had been a


    good, understanding boy. So, he would oblige with whatever things she asked of him, but this did not


    mean that he waspletelyfortable with them.


    “I’m sorry, Adrian.” Fia embraced Adrian softly and apologized. “Mommy didn’t think that you might be


    ufortable with this. Please forgive me.”


    “It’s okay, Mommy. I don’t me you. But could you please not ask me to take medicine? I’ll wear the


    contact lenses as you wish.”


    “Alright. You’re not going to take medicine. You don’t have to wear contact lenses too.”


    Fia felt so bad. She realized just how selfish she was. She did not want to see the amber eyes because


    they looked so simr to Conrad’s eyes. Yet, she did not realize that asking her son to conceal them


    would hurt his feelings.


    Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Irene nced at her mother and brother, who were still hugging one


    another, before hopping down from the sofa to get the door.


    “Oh, Uncle?”


    When she saw Conrad at the entrance, Irene widened her eyes with joy.


    Holding the basket of fruits that Charles had prepared earlier, Conrad said to the girl gently, “Hello,


    Irene. I’m so sorry for not taking good care of you and your brother. You even got hurt and your


    Mommy got angry because of that.”

    Letting out a sigh, Irene said, “It’s okay, Uncle. It’s not your fault.”


    “I’m here to apologize. May Ie in?” Conrad said earnestly. So, Irene opened the door and let him


    in.


    Conrad walked into the apartment with his fruit basket, supported by his walking cane. Each step he


    took carried a sense of regality that one could mistake him for nobility.


    Fia furrowed her brows and red at the man. She could not wrap her head around how the man could


    change so much just from losing his memory.


    In the past, this man would rather die than to apologize to someone. If he was offended, he would


    definitely do everything in his power for payback. Now, he even became a loving son to Beryl Starling.


    So, it was unthinkable to see him like this.


    Then, a weird thought surfaced in her mind-just how much could he tolerate now that he’s changed?


    “Oh, you’re here to apologize?” Fia gave a wicked smile and said, “If you’re really sorry, then you


    should show it properly.”


    “Mommy!” Adrian and Irene looked at their mother, pleading. They did not have the heart to allow her to


    bully the poor man…
