Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 83
Jason took back his handkerchief with a heavy heart.
He stood up and said, “Mr. Maxwell, Fia is a good woman. Treat her well.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Conrad held Fia in his arms tightly as he watched Jason with cold eyes. “Thank you for your help, Doctor Evans. But you won’t be needed anymore.”
Jason looked at the woman in his arms and said, “Hopefully.”
Fia didn’t want to cry in front of so many people. She quickly regained her composure.
She pushed Conrad away and then smiled apologetically at Jason with red eyes.
“I’m sorry. We can’t even have a meal in peace.”
Jason smiled and said in a faint tone, “Don’t worry. I’m full.”
“Let me send you back to the hospital.”
“No need. It’s late. Go back and rest well. Take care.”
With that, Jason turned around and headed out. He didn’t dare to look at Fia again.
He could see that she loved Conrad very deeply. So deep that she didn’t want to use his handkerchief to wipe her tears, worried that Conrad would misunderstand her.
He was worried that his lust might show unwittingly if he remained any longer.
“I didn’t expect him to be your husband, Fia.”
The owner looked at them with a complicated expression on her face and then handed them the cash that Conrad gave her earlier.
“Take this money back, Fia. I had a misunderstanding with your husband just now.”
Fia looked and said, “Take the money, sis. For the meal.”
“That won’t do. What you eat isn’t worth this much.”
“Then put it on my tab. I’ll come again next time.”
Conrad then frowned. “With him?”
“That has nothing to do with you!” Fia shouted and wanted to leave.
Conrad pulled her and said, “I haven’t eaten yet. Eat with me. Owner, give me the exact same dishes that they ordered!”
The owner looked at them and then at the cash in her hand.
“Fine. Just wait here.”
Before she left, she said to Lola out of worry that they would start fighting again, “Stay with Fia.”
“Alright, mom,” Lola said with a disappointed face as she cleaned up the table. She also peeked at Conrad during that time.
Why would such a good man marry so soon?
She didn’t feel that Fia was better than her. She was prettier at most.
She was so slim, and her chest wasn’t as large as hers. She was also not younger than her.
Another seafood cioppino was served.
Maxwell looked at it with surprise.
Fia caught the change in his expression.
“Did you think that only the five–star restaurants out there can serve something as good as this?”
“I didn’t think that at all.”
“Your expression betrayed you! You’re born with a silver spoon… It’s only natural that you would look down on places like this!”
Conrad then said with embarrassment, “Other than parties, I don’t eat out often. It’s normal that I don’t know hidden places like this.”
When he smelled the nice scent of the cioppino, it made him very hungry.
He was preparing to eat and placed a crab leg on Fia’s plate.
“I know that you like to eat crabs. These ones look nice. You should eat them.”
Fia stared at the crab on her plate but didn’t touch it.
She remembered Jason’s advice from earlier.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
“I’m already full.”
Conrad’s stubbornness came again.
