Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 81
Lola skipped happily. “You’re here for Fia? I know her! She used to come here with Eileen all the time! But after Eileen became a celebrity, they no longer do.”
“With Eileen Reid?” Conrad asked.
“That’s right! They’re best of friends!” Lola answered happily. She then turned and asked her mother, Mom, is Fia here?”
The owner glared at her daughter and watched Conrad like a protective mother hen. “If you’re Fia’s friend, why didn’t you come with her?”
“I was late,” Conrad said with a frown. He was quite unhappy with how Fia left without waiting for him.
“You could have called her to pick you up! She’s your friend. Don’t tell me you don’t even know her number?”
Conrad couldn’t say a word.
It was his first time getting interrogated like some common criminal.
“Mom, you don’t have to be so aggressive. He’s here for Fia. Just tell him if she’s here. Why are you asking so many questions?” Lola asked her mother unhappily. She was not happy with her mother’s attitude.
This was her first time meeting such a mature and handsome man on the streets.
That dispassionate expression on his face was so cool. Luckily, she always liked to be the one to go on the offensive. That was how she managed to get to know him.
If he was really Fia’s friend, she could ask her to introduce her to him. Maybe he could end up as her boyfriend!
“Quiet!” The owner said with a severe tone, her eyes never leaving Conrad.
“Why aren’t you speaking? I’m warning you… We live in a lawful community now. If you wish to do anything to her, we can call the police on you!” The owner spoke as she placed her two hands on her waist, making her look intimidating.
Conrad habitually moved his hand to where the button on the collar of his shirt would be, but awkwardly realized that he was only wearing a suit.
“What are you doing?!” the owner yelled. “We have security cameras here!”
Conrad was getting a headache from all the sounds. He got his wallet out from his pocket, took out all his cash, and dropped it on the counter.
“Can you tell me if Fia’s here?”
The owner was taken by surprise.
It was her first time seeing someone drop a bundle of cash in front of her.
He was either very rich or a fool.
“I’ll take you upstairs!” Lola pulled Conrad’s arm and dragged him upstairs.
The owner cursed and chased after them with the cash in her hand.
Fia had already eaten some prawns and clams. She was going to take a crab leg next.
Jason held her wrist and said, “You’re pregnant. You can’t eat crabs.”
“Huh? Why? Crabs are very delicious.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Crabs are too risky and might cause complications to your pregnancy. You’re quite frail already.”
When Fia heard his words, she quickly put the crab back.
Jason hadn’t even managed to let go of her hand when the door to the private room opened.
The two of them turned to see Conrad standing in front of the opened door with a darkened expression on his face.
Lola stood next to her. When she saw Fia, she happily ran over.
“Is it really you, Fia? It’s been such a long time! Why didn’t you contact me?”
Fia gave Conrad a glance and then said to Lola with a smile, “Sorry, my phone was damaged.”
“It’s fine. I’m so lucky to see you here! Oh, right, is he your friend?” Lola pointed at Conrad.
Conrad stared at Jason’s hand that was holding Fia’s wrist. He walked over and said, “Let go.
Jason gave him a sneering glance and let go of Fia’s wrist.
He then took a few prawns into his plate, deshelled them, and proceeded to put them into Fia’s bowl in front of him.
