Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
Chapter 1059

Conrad simply rolled his eyes and looked at the elevator wall.

The elevator door closed, stopping Esme outside.

"What are you up to so late at night, Britney?" When Mrs. Thomas heard the sound of the car outside, she quickly greeted Esme.

Esme got out of the car and could feel Mrs. Thomas's genuine care for her.

Beth was very strict with her when she was with the Mannings. She would scold her most of the time and rarely consoled her.

When she saw how Mrs. Thomas genuinely cared for her, she had mixed feelings about it.

"It's quite late. Why aren't you asleep?"

Mrs. Thomas held Esme's hand and said, "Your big day is tomorrow. The wedding is so rushed but you're still not at home... I'm not feeling good about all of this." Esme's eyes turned red. "You're a good mother."

Mrs. Thomas led her back home and asked, "You've changed a lot since you returned. Are you becoming distant from me after not being at home for so long? Is it because you're not used to it so you can't get close to me like when you're little?"

"No," Esme said. "It's just that I'm older now. After experiencing so much, I can't stick so close to you like when I was little anymore."

Mrs. Thomas sighed. "If I had known that you and your sister would be so independent, I would have accompanied both of you more when you were little."

"When we're little, why were you always so busy?" Esme asked carefully.

Mrs. Thomas sighed again. "That's because your dad is very ambitious and he couldn't manage it alone. I have no choice but to help him!"

There was a hint of disdain in Esme's eyes. She had felt his ambitiousness after staying here for just a little while.

It was quite pitiful to marry someone who was so ambitious but didn't have any abilities.

"And look at how things are now. Your dad isn't happy with me, so I don't have to help him anymore. But you and your sister no longer need me," Mrs. Thomas said, sadly.

Something stirred in Esme's heart. "What do you mean I don't need you? Once I have children, you'll need to help me take care of them."

"Sure!" Mrs. Thomas nodded as her eyes glowed with life. However, when she remembered something, she asked, "Can I really help you with your children? Conrad has his own mother and he's from such a rich family. He'll probably hire a nanny later, right?"

Esme held Mrs. Thomas's shoulder and said, "Grandmas and nannies are different. If I tell him that you'll take care of our children, he won't refuse me."

"That's for the best. I'll wait for you to have your child!"

"Sure!" After calming Mrs. Thomas down, Esme returned to Britney's room and her expression instantly turned cold.

She muttered to herself, "You must be crazy... You don't need your own mother, but you need a fake mother?

"It's all just an act. If you don't put some effort into it, how can they fully trust you?

"If I have their trust... I'll have a use for them eventually."

She talked to herself alone and went to wash up. She finished her skincare routine before going to bed.

Tomorrow was going to be a great day for her! She would be Conrad's true wife!

From then onward, they would become one! No one would be able to hurt her ever again!

At three in the morning, Esme suddenly woke up from her nightmare.

Her breathing was all over the place as she was drenched in her own sweat.

Beth was grabbing her in her dreams, covered in blood, asking... "Why do you want to kill me, daughter?!"

She kept on saying, "It's not me! It's Fia! She hit you with the lamp! She was the one that killed you!"

"It's you... You messed with the equipment! You choked me to death because I can't breathe!"

"No! It's not me!" Esme refuted in her dreams as she cried.

"It's just a dream... Just a dream... a dream..." She consoled herself for a long time.

She turned on the lamp and was about to wash her face. Suddenly, she sensed something watching her from the window.

She turned around, saw what those things were, and reflexively screamed.
