Chapter 1175
The twins were becoming more observant as they grew up. So, it was a matter of time before they realized that
Fortunese people all had white or brown eyes, except for the Maxwells. The Maxwells were known to have the rare
genetic trait of having amber eyes in Fortuna.
Adrian’s amber eyes were too obvious to be missed. If it were not for him having amnesia at the moment, Conrad
would suspect something was off too.
“Adrian, your eyes are the results of a condition from when you were in Mommy’s womb. Your eyes were not fully
developed like Irene’s.”
Fia looked at her son’s amber eyes and said softly, “Mommy and Daddy will work hard to develop a cure for you.
Your eyes will be black like Irene’s in the future, okay?”
“But Daddy said my eyes were formed naturally. And taking medicine constantly isn’t good for your health!” Adrian
said with a frown, He was a little distraught by the fact that his mother seemingly disliked his eye color.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAsking him to wear colored contact lenses was a chore for him already; yet now, his mother was planning to
change his eye color via drugs and medication? No way!
“Mommy, don’t you love me?!”
Fia felt a pang of hurt hearing her son’s disgruntled words. “Of course I love you, Adrian. You and Irene are really
important to me.”
“Then, what’s the deal with wanting to change my eye color? What’s wrong with it? Why do you always fret about
it?” Adrian’s amber eyes began welling with tears.
Looking at Adrian, Fia knew for the first time that he actually was dissatisfied with her opinion about his
eyes.
“You don’t like Mommy asking you to wear colored contact lenses?”
“Yeah, I don’t like that.” Adrian said dejectedly, “I haven’t done anything wrong. My eyes didn’t do anything
bad either.”
It was then Fia finally understood the problem. She had been ignoring Adrian’s will. He had been a good,
understanding boy. So, he would oblige with whatever things she asked of him, but this did not mean that he was
completely comfortable with them.
“I’m sorry, Adrian.” Fia embraced Adrian softly and apologized. “Mommy didn’t think that you might be
uncomfortable with this. Please forgive me.”
“It’s okay, Mommy. I don’t blame you. But could you please not ask me to take medicine? I’ll wear the contact
lenses as you wish.”
“Alright. You’re not going to take medicine. You don’t have to wear contact lenses too.”
Fia felt so bad. She realized just how selfish she was. She did not want to see the amber eyes because they looked
so similar to Conrad’s eyes. Yet, she did not realize that asking her son to conceal them would hurt his feelings.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Irene glanced at her mother and brother, who were still hugging one another, before
hopping down from the sofa to get the door.
“Oh, Uncle?”
When she saw Conrad at the entrance, Irene widened her eyes with joy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHolding the basket of fruits that Charles had prepared earlier, Conrad said to the girl gently, “Hello, Irene. I’m so
sorry for not taking good care of you and your brother. You even got hurt and your Mommy got angry because of
that.”
Letting out a sigh, Irene said, “It’s okay, Uncle. It’s not your fault.”
“I’m here to apologize. May I come in?” Conrad said earnestly. So, Irene opened the door and let him in.
Conrad walked into the apartment with his fruit basket, supported by his walking cane. Each step he took carried a
sense of regality that one could mistake him for nobility.
Fia furrowed her brows and glared at the man. She could not wrap her head around how the man could change so
much just from losing his memory.
In the past, this man would rather die than to apologize to someone. If he was offended, he would definitely do
everything in his power for payback. Now, he even became a loving son to Beryl Starling.
So, it was unthinkable to see him like this.
Then, a weird thought surfaced in her mind-just how much could he tolerate now that he’s changed?
“Oh, you’re here to apologize?” Fia gave a wicked smile and said, “If you’re really sorry, then you should show it
properly.”
“Mommy!” Adrian and Irene looked at their mother, pleading. They did not have the heart to allow her to bully the
poor man…
