Chapter 962
Chapter 962
“Why? Mr. Lane and his family have been really good friends to us.”
Fia did not understand why Conrad did not seem pleased to hear her wanting to invite the
Lanes over.
Conrad looked at her dejectedly. “I just don’t like our circle getting muddled with too many people.”
“The Lanes are good people,” Fia said as she felt bad for her husband. He grew up in a family that taught him to be wary of people, making it difficult for him to truly befriend anyone.
“It’s not just Mary. Many mothers would do the sif they were in her shoes. She nags and complains to Mr. Lane because she loves her son. And Mr. Lane trusts you too. That’s why he talks about his predicament with you.”
Fia kept talking to Conrad, hoping to help him see a clearer picture behind Mary and Tyler’s actions.

Conrad gazed into her starry, beautiful eyes before smiling.
“Alright. Let’s invite them over.”
When they got back home, Fia immediately invited their guests over via a phone call.
Tyler and his family brought along a lot of food to the feast. Seeing this, Tiger quickly cover to inspect the food.
Tyler gave Tiger a bitter smile. “I am quite sure I haven’t done anything bad to you. Yet, you inspect the gifts we brought over as though we’re scheming to harm your boss.”
Tiger explained as he continued inspecting the bags, “Mr. Lane, we’re not suspecting you of anything. We just want to be sure. That’s all. Our enemies could slip something in when you’re not looking…”
“Hey, I was just joking. Tiger, you don’t have to explain yourself with a long face.” Tyler waved his hand and smiled.
Tiger was speechless. He felt that he needed to explain himself because Mr. Lane seemed offended. Yet, he seemed to not be bothered at all. Maybe Mr. Lane just wanted to chat with him? What a talkative man!
Meanwhile, Fia sat next to Mary and Sharon on the sofa, chatting away with them while scanning the living room with her eyes.
Right… Everything seemed fine. She hoped that Conrad would have more friends so that he would not be so lonely all the time. Being surrounded by friends who cared about him was always better than being alone.
“Fia, aren’t you curious about the gender of your babies?” Mary tapped on Fla’s hand and
asked.
Fia took a glance at her bulging belly and said, “I have given it a thought or two once.’
“So, do you hope your twins will be boys or girls?”
“I’m fine with either.” Fia gently put a hand on her stomach and said, “I love them. I don’t mind if they’re boys or girls. I just want them to live happily and healthily.”
“What about Mr. Maxwell?” Mary continued probing curiously.
“He said he wants a daughter.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Huh?” Mary was surprised to hear that, “Really?”
Fia smiled. “You thought he’d want a son?”
Mary scratched her head and said awkwardly, “Well, I’ve always thought Mr. Maxwell to be an old- fashioned man. So I thought he’d want a male heir.”
“You’re such a fool!” Tyler smirked. “What year do you think it is? Gender equality, baby! It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or girl. I agree with what Mrs. Maxwell said. The most important thing is for the babies to live a happy and healthy life!”
When serving their guests with a plate of fruits, Conrad purposely placed the plate near to his wife. He was never good at chit-chat.
Tyler squinted his eyes at Conrad and asked with a smile, “Hey, Conrad. Don’t you want a male heir?”
Without hesitation, Conrad answered, “A daughter can be my heir too.
He then took a glance at Fia before adding, “I don’t mind if they’re boys or girls. They can be my successors either way.”
“Pfft! Hahahaha!” Tyler burst out laughing before saying, “I didn’t think you’re such a whipped man.”
Conrad’s face turned red upon hearing that.
