Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 180
Fia slumped back on her chair as she sat in front of the dressing table. She cried out as all the suppressed disappointment and sorrow poured forth at the same time.
She let out a wail before closing her mouth, trying to stop herself.
Inside the bathroom, Conrad turned off the shower, trying to listen to what was happening outside.
He could hear someone crying… Was it Fia? He thought that he had misheard it because he didn’t hear it anymore after a few seconds. Still, he quickly finished his shower.
When the bathroom door opened, Fia straightened her back and
cleaned her face one more time using a wet towel. Once she was sure that no signs of tears were left, she continued to work on the bottle in front of the dressing table.
Conrad stood in front of the shower and stared at her for a few Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
seconds before going to his study.
When he came back, he put a big box on the dressing table.
“For you.”
Fia looked at him coldly and didn’t even acknowledge him.
She didn’t want to think about why he was giving her something again. She also didn’t want to see what he gave her.
She simply focused on applying the essence on her face.
Conrad sat on the bed. He accessed his bank application and
transferred some funds out.
And so, she focused on her skincare routine while he played on his phone in bed.

After half an hour later, knocking could be heard from the door.
“Do you want dinner, Master Maxwell? If you haven’t eaten, I’ll bring dinner up here.” Mrs. Taylor spoke loudly at the door. However, Conrad was playing with his phone and didn’t respond.
Fia turned around and looked at the man on the bed. “Mrs. Taylor is talking to you!”
Conrad gave her a glare, not happy with how she was treating him.
In the past, she would always open the box happily. And then, she would hold his arm and ask for a pat… Like a cat asking its owner for a nice pat.
And now, looking at how cold she was, he was not feeling good about
it!
“Master Maxwell, you have to eat. You carry heavy responsibilities on your shoulders, yes? You shouldn’t get mad at yourself.” Mrs. Taylor advised him from behind the door with worry.
Fia paused. He was always quite self–disciplined. What happened to him today? Why was he being such a pain with just dinner? Because of his bad mood? He missed Esme? Lovesickness?
Ha! If that was true, she looked forward to him starving to death! What a pain!
Conrad stood up and walked out of the bedroom. Mrs. Taylor carefully asked him, “Shall I prepare dinner upstairs?”
“No need. I’ll go down.”
“That’ll be splendid.” Mrs. Taylor then looked into the room and asked, “Do you want to have dinner too, madam?”
“Thanks, but I’ve already eaten.”
Hearing that, Conrad cracked his knuckles. He was still suspecting
that she hadn’t eaten with Lola, but with Jason Evans instead!
But when he remembered how she was sent to the hospital biting her tongue, he forced himself to calm down. Her grandmother and mother passed away partially because of him. He owed her so he shouldn’t start a fight with her. She was only eating with another man, so he should be more open– minded! Yes! He must avoid making her angry and let her have a pleasant life for the sake of her emotional
health.

Fia looked at the box in front of her. Even the box was quite valuable, which meant that the thing inside should be even more valuable.
The jewelry that he gave her were all the limited editions from his company. They were expensive and rare.
However, he would also sometimes buy her some branded goods from overseas brands. But to be honest, she liked the ones from his
company more.
Women were naturally curious. She was no different. She wanted to see what he gave her. Whether it was from his company or from
overseas.

She waited for the footsteps to go further and further before opening the box. When she saw the jewelry inside, her eyes opened wide.

“What’s… going on?”
She turned around and opened the bedside cabinet. All the documents inside had disappeared.
She was so angry that she almost fainted again. She took her phone and called Conrad.
Conrad was eating in the dining room when he answered her call. What is it?”
“Conrad, you stole from me!”
