Stop It, She's Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 121
Conrad glared at his cousin Victor with vicious eyes.
He replied, "You're not that bad either. You always bring your fiancée to the family dinner."
He suddenly changed his tone. "But it's been so long. Why aren't you married yet?"
Victor frowned and he couldn't smile again.
Meanwhile, the woman next to him pushed his arm.
"You heard that, Victor? They're not the first ones to tell us to get married."
Victor patted Sapphire Starling's hand and said, "I have my own plans about the wedding, Sapphire. Don't worry."
Sapphire nodded at him in understanding and then said to Conrad, "It's not that your cousin doesn't want to marry me, Conrad, but he's focusing all his effort on his work. You know that, unlike you, he didn't join the family business and started his own business."
"Ha." Conrad sat right opposite the two of them and said with a cold smile, "Your entertainment company is doing quite well. That especially popular celebrity of yours must have earned you quite a few coins, huh?"
Victor then spoke with a smile as a glint of light appeared in his eyes. "We're just using each other. She can get plenty of good resources as long as she works in my company."
"You're right," Conrad said as he had his back on the sofa, his voice tinged with a slight suspicion. "Fia and Ms. Reid
are best friends. Yesterday, when they were shopping, Ms. Reid left some Miscarriage Prevention pills in her purse."
Victor frowned. "Not your wife's?"
"Of course not!" Esme and Beryl cried out at the same time as they walked in.
They looked at them curiously.
Esme pressed Beryl's hand.
Beryl then straightened her back and said, "Fia's health is problematic and she's infertile. She's been working hard to improve her health, but she's not pregnant."
Victor frowned again and Fia's usual cowardly expression appeared in his mind.
She was quite pitiful. He didn't expect that fate would be so cruel to her. She was infertile?
Suddenly, he remembered the child that he asked Eileen to abort two years ago.
He wondered if it would affect her chance of ever getting pregnant again.
When she was getting an abortion, the doctor had advised that Eileen's health was not at her best and it would not be easy for her to get pregnant again. He even suggested she avoid the abortion altogether. 1 suddenly remember that I have work to attend to." Victor stood up and prepared to leave.
"What should I do if you're gone, Victor?" Sapphire quickly said as she stood up.
"You can stay if you want to. If not, you can go home!" Victor said without even turning his head.
"Aunt Beryl." Sapphire looked at Beryl pitifully.
"Unlike Conrad, Victor had to put in much more effort, so it's normal for him to be a bit busier." Beryl then pulled Esme and Sapphire's hands together. "You two should chat with each other since you're around the same age."
"Nice to meet you, Sapphire." Esme took the initiative.
Sapphire looked at her and said, "Hello."
"Let's go. I'll take you two to the garden. All of your elders are back there."
Beryl pulled the two young women's hands and then turned to look at Conrad.
"Come on, son. Let's go. Your uncles and aunts are all in the garden."
Conrad glared at her coldly and said, "Not interested."
He then took out his phone and began to swipe, waiting for dinner. He was going to leave after he was done. "What are you doing there alone? Esme's here. Why don't
you...
"If you don't stop, I'll leave too."
"Fine, fine. Let's go to the garden. My son's old enough now and I can't say a word to him."
Esme pulled her hand back and said, "You should go first. Let me talk with him for a bit."
"Sure!" Beryl gave her a silent encouragement and then led Sapphire to the garden first.
"You don't look happy, Conrad."
Esme sat next to him, but she didn't dare to sit too close to him. There was a gap the size of a person in
between them.
