Chapter 439

The following day, Conrad and Fia had breakfast and went to the office as usual.

Conrad still had his morning meeting to attend, and Fia waited for him to leave before calling Eileen to continue their topic about what to get for Conrad’s birthday.

Eileen whined from the other end of the line, “Fia, this is such a difficult question! You might as well ask a guy for suggestions!”

“Who would I ask?”

“You could ask Mr. Whitley.”

“No way. Mr. Whitley is tacky. He’ll probably suggest things like limited branded goods. That’s so gaudy! It wouldn’t have much meaning!”

Eileen hesitated, then said, “Then… Do you want to ask Doctor Evans?”

Fia was stunned. She hadn’t spoken to Jason in a long while.

“Well? Have you been in touch with Doctor Evans lately?”

“No. It would be best if I didn’t ask him about this. It’s weird.”

“Well… you’re right. You owe him a favor, after all. Asking him about a gift for your husband is like stabbing him in the heart too.”

“If you already know that, why would you suggest him?” Fia muttered, her mood plunging downward. “Is it because you’ve had too much free time lately? Even your suggestions are becoming weird.”

“Oh my god, yes! I’m so bored! I really want someone to love me and stay by my side too, you know? I really envy you, Fia,” Eileen said in a sickeningly sweet voice. “If only you weren’t married, I’m sure we

would have worked out!”

“Forget it. I don’t swing that way.”

“Tch! What happened to friendship over love, huh?”

The two continued chatting for a while before they hung up in a happy mood.

Fia was still worried about what to get for Conrad’s birthday. Asking Eileen had been a waste of time, and she didn’t dare to ask Silas. So, with no other options left, she decided to turn to her phone’s voice

assistant.

“Who are you giving a birthday present to?”

Fia held her breath for a few moments before whispering, “My husband.”

“You should give yourself to him! He will be very happy!”

What the hell?

Fia was speechless. Did her phone get possessed or something?!

Even though those were her first thoughts, she couldn’t help but keep the suggestion in her heart.
