Chapter 14

Fia didn’t want to move or speak.

As soon as Conrad entered the bedroom, she could smell the scent of Jo Malone’s Cardamom Fragrance from him carried by the cold air outside. It was the same scent that Esme had.

While her mom and grandmother were both at home, he was busy dating his childhood friend. He had already forgotten that he had a family.

“Fia Lawson!”

Conrad pulled the blanket off her and spoke in an angry tone. “I’m talking to you!”

Yet, she still didn’t budge.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her up, looking at her coldly.

“Are you deaf?!”

Fia blinked and looked at him with similar cold eyes.

This was the man that she had fallen in love with before she even knew what love was.

Her lips curled to form a sneer. “You stink.”

Conrad frowned and lowered his eyes to look at himself. He had already showered and changed after he got out of the pond. He couldn’t stink.

He tightened his grip on her arm and said, “Enough with your tantrum. We need to talk.”

“You stink.”

She repeated it again and gave him a look of disdain.

The look made Conrad suspect that something was wrong with his nose.

Fia knew that he didn’t understand what she was talking about and decided not to hide it anymore. She grabbed his collar and said, “Esme’s perfume is all over you and it stinks!”

With that, she let go of his collar and even blew her hand.
