Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
Chapter 966

"Sure. What is it?" Conrad looked really serious when he asked for the condition. He was so determined that he would do anything for her, even if she asked him to do the impossible.

"Don't be so serious. It's nothing big, really." Fia combed her hair with her hands and said, "I want you to promise me to protect Eileen when she returns. I don't mind if she's not assigned to luxurious accommodation or transportation but I want you to provide her with the best protection. I don't want to see anyone lay a finger on her!"

Conrad frowned. "You're worried Sapphire would harm her?"

"I didn't say that. Still, it's always wise to prepare for the unexpected."

"Alright. I promise I'll protect her. No harm will come to her."

After having breakfast, Fia opened her cupboard and began choosing her clothes with Sophia.

Sophia smiled. "Oh, Madam... Are you going on a date with Sir?"

"No. I'm just having lunch with someone, with him accompanying me."

Fia got a little upset when she thought of Conall.

"Is that person someone important? If not, you wouldn't take time to dress up.'

Sophia had gotten the news from Mrs. Whitley but she purposely pretended to not know so she could talk it out with Fia. She believed that Fia had nothing to lose if she regained her place in the Parker family. If she did, Fia would have a sturdy, powerful family backing her in high society and she would not feel so tiny in front of her husband anymore!

Raising a white, low-cut dress at Sophia, Fia asked, "Sophia, what do you think about this dress?"

"It looks good. But I have never dressed in a dress this sexy before. It might hinder my movement."

"I haven't worn this before. So you can have it." Fia put the dress into Sophia's hands. "You can have a day off today. Put this on and treat Tiger to a meal."

"Why must I treat him to a meal?" Sophia was so confused. "He earns more than me. He should be the one treating me to a meal!"

"That will do too. Go ask him to treat you to a meal." Fia tapped on Sophia's shoulder and said, "You two should go out for a few dates. After having a boyfriend, you won't be so nosy and pry into others' business."

Sophia was speechless to see Fia seeing right through her.

"Now, put this on. Chop chop! When you're done, go give Tiger a call and wipe his bank account clean!" Fia seemed eager to send Sophia and Tiger on a date.

At first, Sophia was not willing. However, when she thought about Tiger's bitter face when she cleaned out his wallet, Sophia felt this could be a fun thing to do.

"Okay. I'll put this on right away!" Sophia quickly took the dress and stepped into the changing room.

After sending Sophia away, Fia put on a long, dark green dress and a V-neck coat. Since it was still cold out there, she wore leggings. Then, she wore a pair of black platform shoes.

After dressing up, Fia looked at the mirror, satisfied with the results. She looked leaner and taller, giving out a vibe that she was an elegant, gentle lady.

After attending to his business in the morning, Conrad came back at 11 a.m. and drove Fia to the restaurant that Conall booked.

On the way, Fia asked, "Aren't we too early? The secretary said the table is booked for noon."

"We can go there early so we can have a few bites first if you're hungry."

"Ah, indeed."

Fia felt that if they arrived early, she could shame Conall for coming to their lunch "late".

Hence, they arrived at the restaurant and had the waiter to lead them to the private booth that Conall booked. However, Conall was nowhere to be seen when the clock struck twelve.

Fia was pissed. "How could he be late when he's the one who invited us?"

Conrad took a glance at his watch. "Maybe something happened and he got caught up in it."

"Fine. We'll wait but only for another ten minutes. After ten minutes, we'll have our lunch and leave if he still doesn't turn up."

Fia took a few gulps of the lemon juice she ordered to calm herself down.

Seeing her get angry, Conrad worried that this would adversely affect the babies in her womb. So he called Conall.

Meanwhile, a crowd of people were gathering outside of the restaurant. Conall had collapsed as soon as he stepped out from a taxi.

He had difficulty breathing and could not move a muscle. When he heard his phone ringing, Conall became even more anxious. He wanted to call out for help, worried that his daughter would get angry after waiting for so long, but he could not utter a word.

"Let's order our lunch."

Fia finally had enough after seeing that Conall was not picking up Conrad's call. So, Conrad sounded the bell to summon a waiter. When the waiter stepped into the booth, he murmured to himself, "Aw man, I hope that old geezer's alright. He collapsed all of a sudden and no one knows what's wrong with him."

Hearing this, Fia quickly asked, "What did you say?"
