“I never denied that fact,” Silas said with a smile, but his smile wasn’t genuine.
“I told you, if you said anything to him, I’ll…”
“You should know what kind of temper he had before he lost his memories. He’s only in a bad mood today. There’s no need to cause such a ruckus, right?” Silas said as he stopped being so aggressive.
It was not the time for him to bare his fangs just yet. He had to wait until his boss was disappointed in Beryl.
“You really didn’t say anything else to him?” Beryl stared at Silas.
“He’s just too tired. You’ve taken care of him for the past five years and given him the motherly love that he always lacked. As long as you don’t hurt him, there’s no need for me to break this peace,” Silas said sincerely and managed to gain Beryl’s trust.
The next morning, Beryl appeared outside of Conrad’s door with chicken soup again.
“Are you awake, Conrad?”
Conrad opened the door with his cane. “Good morning, Mom.”
“Morning! Come, have a drink.” Beryl gave the chicken soup a blow. “It’s not that hot. The temperature’s just right.”
Looking at how gentle she was, Conrad couldn’t refuse it. He took the bowl of soup and drank it.
“Thanks, Mom. 11
“It’s normal for a mother to cook for her son. No need to thank me.”
Conrad stared at Beryl and remembered what Silas told him.
Silas had always told him to be careful of his mother. He never suspected her and never raised his guard against her.
However, he suddenly wanted to test how deep her love for him was.
“Mom, I suddenly met a woman.’
Beryl’s heart skipped a beat and quickly said, “You already have Felicity, right? Why do you need another woman?”
Conrad looked at her in silence.
Beryl realized something and then said, “I know. You told me a lot of times that you don’t have any romantic feelings toward her despite being grateful for her accompanying you for the past five years. But as a man, you can’t expect her to keep on giving without making it up to her.”
“Mom, are you saying that in order to make it up to Felicity, I have to marry her?” Conrad’s tone was a little cold.
Beryl calmed down and suddenly felt somewhat disgusted. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Her son had always liked to rebel against her. He had been so obedient in the past five years that she had forgotten how he was originally.
Hearing his tone, he was doing it again!
His original personality simply couldn’t be changed!
“Conrad, I don’t want to argue with you. Whose family is that woman from? Tell me and I’ll take a look.”
“Silas was against me getting close to her and said that you would object to it too,” Conrad said, disappointed. “I thought you’d be different from him, but it ended up the same anyway.”
Beryl didn’t know if she should be happy that there was actually a day when Silas and she had the same opinion.
“Since he said that you shouldn’t get close to her, then it must mean that she’s from a different background than you. Silas wouldn’t hurt you,” she consoled him.
She couldn’t let some other woman catch him. Otherwise, how could she keep him under her control?!
“Mom, it’s not like I want to do something. It’s just that when I see her, I get a bit calmer. I just want to be her friend,” Conrad said with a frown, but his heart was without direction.
“Be friends?” Beryl looked at him in disbelief. “Since when have you wanted to become friends with another woman?”
Conrad couldn’t counter that argument.
Beryl then said, “Is she coming for you because of your value? Once any woman finds out that you’re the CEO of Maxwell Corporation, they will fawn all over you! Conrad, you can’t make the wrong decision. Their feelings toward you are not pure, only Felicity’s are!”
“She didn’t fawn over me,” Conrad said as he felt slighted. “She dislikes me.”
Beryl refused to believe as she extended her hand and touched his forehead. “Are you sick? What are you talking about?”
“No, Mom. She didn’t fawn over me. She also didn’t ask me for anything. She’s taking care of two children, and they’re quite cute,” Conrad said slowly. He thought that if he could describe how nice she was, his mother would have a positive opinion of her.
