“I didn’t.”
Fia was instantly angered and pushed away his hand, wanting to get off the chair.

The moment Fia hit the bed, she turned around and lay on her tummy.

“Hello, Mr. Maxwell, thank you for treating everyone today.”

Sally frowned and told Conrad the truth about what she had said to Fia.

Esme and his face darkened.
“Doctor Hall, is this friend of yours, Britney, trustworthy?”
“Yes. She is an honest lady. Didn’t you all see? Her eyes were mostly on my brother. She likes my brother a lot. She

Conrad frowned and thought about it. “Have you forgotten that on the day of her coming of age, I did not even
attend it?”
Fia was stunned. Oh, right, he didn’t attend.
But Esme had indeed received his gift of peach blossom fragrance.
“Grandpa had just thrown me into training and I was not even in Gryphon for quite a few months.”
Silence.
Right, he wasn’t even in Gryphon for quite a few months.
Only Esme kept saying that he would call and message her every day.
However, she had never received his calls, nor did she see any ofthose so-called messages.Could it be?

think.
