Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 91
Conrad shook his heavy head and stared at his older cousin Victor.
While he hadn’t gathered what had happened, he could still feel the insult that was hurled his way.
He freed himself from Victor’s lackeys and pounced on him.
“Oh?” Victor let out an amused laugh as he looked at his cousin staggering toward him and the punch he threw at him.
He yawned and couldn’t be bothered to say another word. All he wanted to do was go back to sleep.
He then said to his men, “Send Mr. Maxwell home. If there’s even a single bruise on him, you know what will happen to you.”
“Understood. What about the woman in the car?”
Victor gave her a glance and said, “That shrieking bird’s not part of the family, so stop being such a busybody.”
“I got him and am sending him back.” Victor gave Eileen a call. “When will you come over to accompany me?”
Eileen looked at Fia as she held her phone in her hand. Fia was simply sitting in the living room staring into the air.
“Not today, boss.”
“Eileen, now that he’s back home, if you don’t send his wife back, what if another woman sleeps with him later?”
Despite Victor’s teasing, there was a hint of iciness in his tone.
Eileen remembered the complicated relationship they were in and his motto–the end justifies the means. “Fine. I’ll head over to your place.”
“I’ll go to your place now. Send my cousin’s wife back home before I get there.”
Eileen couldn’t say anything.
After hanging up, she walked over to Fia with a sense of guilt.
“About that… My friend is coming.”
“Conrad’s cousin?” Fia asked.
Yeah.”
Fia furrowed her brows. “I’ll go home then.”
“I’ll arrange a driver to send you home.”
“Thank you, Eileen.”
Before she left, Fia pulled Eileen’s hand.
“I don’t know what’s up between you and his cousin, but he has a fiancée. They’ve been engaged for 5 years.
Eileen didn’t say a word with her head lowered.
Fia said it gently and didn’t want to aggravate her. “If you want to stay by his side, ask him what he wants from this. If this is going to be long–term.”
“Fia… The relationship between the two of us… It’s not like what you think.”
Eileen paused. “He’s my boss.”
She loved him back then and so signed her freedom away. She could only work for his company until the day she died.
“But you love him,” Fia said as she held Eileen’s hand. “If you don’t love him, you wouldn’t have stayed with him after what happened.”
Eileen could feel her heart slowly freeze. “I don’t care anymore whether there’s love in this. I’m simply hoping that he would get tired of my body one day and let me go.”
“Eileen…”
“Ha, don’t make this sound that bad. Actually, I’m doing quite well. Meanwhile, I’m very worried about you.”
Eileen carefully touched Fia’s belly. “And your baby.”
“I’ll protect my child!” Fia said resolutely.
On her way back, Eileen’s driver said nothing as Fia simply looked at the night sky outside the window.
When she was almost home, she suddenly asked the driver. “Is she happy?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
The driver and her personal assistant, Lyn, followed Eileen to work every day.
He treated Eileen as his own younger sister and couldn’t help but say a word or two.
“Despite looking bright and happy on the outside, Eileen’s feeling very empty on the inside. She’s quite tough, so she doesn’t want to say anything.”
Fia muttered a word of acknowledgment. Despite the pain she was feeling for her, she didn’t know how to help her.
She couldn’t even handle her own matters.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Lawson. Eileen doesn’t have much difficulty in her everyday life. You taking care of yourself and not making her worry is helping her already,” the driver said to her earnestly.
“Thanks. I know.”
Fia had just put in the security number and entered the door when Mrs. Taylor came out, hearing the
sound.
