Chapter 582
Mary sat down with her son in her arms and noticed that Fia was lost in thought. She asked in concern, “Mrs.
Maxwell, what’s wrong?”
“Did Mr. Lane make plans to meet with my husband in advance?”
“No, he didn’t. I called my husband to complain, then sent him a video of you and Mr. Maxwell playing in the sand.
He only came over because he recognized Mr. Maxwell.”
Fia smiled and asked, “Did you secretly take a video of us to send to your husband so he would avenge you?”
“No! That’s not it!” Mary laughed heartily before answering sincerely, “I was only curious and wanted to see if my
husband recognized Mr. Maxwell because he gave off a feeling of not being ordinary.”
Fia nodded and couldn’t help but ask, “My husband saved Mr. Lane before, but did you know him already then?”
Mary shook her head.

Fia looked at the child in Mary’s arms and felt somewhat sad.
Mary asked curiously, “With how wealthy and powerful Mr. Maxwell is, I’m sure he has quite a few people who have
it out for him, right?”
Fia nodded. “I’m sure there are.”
Even though Conrad would tell her that whatever matters that popped up had been resolved, she was sure he
hadn’t been entirely truthful with her.
“Then, you should be careful not to get caught up in someone else’s troubles.”
Mary sounded concerned, and Fia noted the tone as she looked at the other woman seriously before asking, “Have
you been through something?”
Mary looked down at her son in her arms, hesitant to answer as she didn’t want her son to hear it.
Just then, a servant brought some fruit drinks, so Mary passed her son to the servant, asking him to play with her
sister. Then, she finally turned to Fia and said, “I had an accident when I was pregnant.”
It was a simple statement, but Fia could already imagine it was much more than that. However, she didn’t press
further, afraid it would be like rubbing salt into Mary’s wounds.
“Anyway, just be careful, okay? But don’t worry about it too much either. Society is governed by law, so people with
bad intentions can’t act too openly.”
Fia nodded, inexplicably thinking about Esme.
“If bad people have no intention of living, then the law can’t punish them either.”
“You’re absolutely right!” Mary said, her expression turning grave. “If I could turn back time and grow up again, I
would have chosen to learn martial arts for self-defense from a young age so I wouldn’t be weak now and could
protect the people I love!”
“Mommy, pretty lady!” A little girl’s cute, childish voice rang out as Tyler’s daughter led her brother over to the two
women. “Pretty lady, do you want to play in the sandpit with my brother and me? Let’s go!”

“No, Mommy. You and Daddy can play with that uncle, while this pretty lady can play with my brother and me for a
while!”
Mary was about to rebuke the little girl, but Fia quickly stood and said, “Sure, let’s go!”
“Yes! That’s great!”
Mary shook her head helplessly as she watched her daughter lead Fia away. Now that Fia was not with her, Mary
decided to see if there was anything she needed to do in the villa.
“Pretty lady, do you think my mommy likes to scare people?” the girl asked sweetly.
don’t think so. She’s a nice lady.”
“Oh, okay. Daddy said Mommy was injured when she was pregnant with us, so she became a little crazy.”
Fia was stunned at the information and didn’t know what to say. After all, she wasn’t clear about what had
happened in the Lane family.
The little girl held her brother’s hand tightly and said seriously, “I don’t know why she’s always so nervous. Even
though my brother looks like he’s not growing well, he’s doing great! Besides, I can also protect my brother!”
Fia listened and realized the little girl’s thoughts were a little more complicated than she thought. “Darling…”
