“Give him another call! No, you dial his number and giveyour phone! I’ll tell him myself!” Victor said.
Tyler raised an eyebrow and scowled at the man. “Don’t you have a phone too?”
“Conrad had blacklisted my number! Why would I need to chere if I could just give him a call?!”
“I see. Well, it’s still none of my concern!” Tyler ordered the bodyguards to send Victor away before stepping into the villa.
As soon as he entered Conrad’s study, he could smell a strong scent of alcohol. Covering his nose with his hand, Tyler said, “What the hell are you doing? Brewing wine?”
He then looked around and noticed that the study was pitch black. “And why didn’t you turn on the lights?”
Yet, Conrad simply sat on the floor, not giving a response at all.

“Come.”
Suddenly, Conrad called out to Tyler. “Chere and drink with me.”
Letting out a sigh, Tyler said, “No can do, buddy. My wife and daughter are waiting forat home.”
“Hehe, how nice.” Conrad lazed back and leaned against the wall next to him. “I envy you, Tyler Lane.”
“What’s there to envy about? You’re a genius in business, sitting atop the throne of the business world. It should be us that envy you!”
Tyler sat next to him and opened a bottle. Despite his words, he still could not bear to see his friend drown in sorrow alone like this. So, he might as well provide him scompany.
“Oh, envy me?” Conrad gave a bitter smile and lamented, “I grew up in a broken family. My grandfather lovedbut he was very strict in moldingto be his successor. I’ve never truly experienced unconditional love when I was a child. I suppose this madecompletely clueless ways of treating others with love. I thought I loved someone, but the feeling I had for her was a feeling of guilt. What’s even funnier is that feeling of guilt was elicited fromthrough trickery.”

“Yes.” Conrad replied in a tone of regret, “I was so foolish. I accepted her and becher boyfriend. I’ve been tainted by that wench. It’s no wonder Fia thinks I’m filthy!”
Tyler then asked curiously, “Have you ever slept with Esme?”
Upon hearing that, Conrad kicked Tyler. Still, the kick was not painful as he was drunk at the
moment.
“No, I haven’t! I’ve only ever bedded Fia!”
“For real?” Tyler doubted it. “I mean, you’ve always been surrounded by women before and after you got married. You’re tellingyou’ve never slept with any other woman?”

Conrad wanted to throw up when he recalled just how many times Etried to trick him into sleeping with her.
When did he ever realize his feelings for Fia…?
Was it the moment Fia meekly agreed to take her cousin’s place to marry him? Or was it when he saw her getting close to Jason? Or… was it when he saw the wife he’d married for three years begin to act differently around him…
Envy, anger, sorrow, anxiety… The only woman who could rile him up like that was none other than Fia Lawson.

On nights when he was tormented by these feelings until he could not get a good night’s sleep, Conrad would seek help online. Every reply online would then tell him that he had ” fallen in love”.
“Tyler, I’m such a fool!”
Conrad smiled at his friend bitterly before gulping down his brandy.
Seeing this, Tyler quickly stopped him. “Look, you should stop drinking. If you health, who’ll take care of Fia when she comes back?”
