After hanging up the phone, Mia Foster was already standing beside him, asking with concern, "Felix, what happened?"
He put down the phone and sighed, "Mom has run away from ho."
Mia Foster pursed her lips noncommittally and muttered to herself, "She should have dumped that scumbag long ago!"
"What did you say?" Felix frowned, but Mia Foster smiled brilliantly, "I said, your mom should have done this earlier. Even though she doesn’t have a career, she’s lucky to have such a capable daughter-in-law like . So, even if she leaves that ho, she wouldn’t have to worry about going hungry!"
Mia Foster was rarely this playful. Felix knew she was trying to cheer him up. He reached out and pinched Mia Foster’s cheek with a touch of helplessness, "Let’s not be too self-praising for now. The urgent thing is to find Mom first!"
"Pfft!" Mia Foster scoffed disdainfully, "As if a grown woman like your mom could just disappear. Give her number, and I’ll call her later."
"Okay," The way Mia Foster kept calling her "Mom" warmly touched Felix’s heart. Despite such an embarrassing family incident, she was defending them at every turn. He couldn’t help but grasp Mia Foster’s wrist and draw her into his arms. Felix said, "Mia, give so ti..." He needed ti to sort out everything at ho before he could deal with his own matters...
Mia Foster wrapped her arms around him in return, pressing her face against Felix’s chest, "Felix, don’t end up like Uncle Shaw... If one day you betray , I won’t forgive you."
At the Shaw Family’s mansion, as soon as Oliver Shaw hung up the phone, Vanessa Armstrong took his arm and said, "Honey, big sister isn’t a child anymore. She must have thought it through before she left."
Oliver Shaw gave Vanessa Armstrong a faint glance and didn’t say much. When he returned to the dinner table and saw the nourishing soup, he instructed the housekeeper, "You don’t need to make this anymore."
"Honey~" Vanessa Armstrong called out unhappily. Oliver Shaw looked at her with a half-smile, "What? Worried I can’t satisfy you?"
"What are you talking about?" Vanessa Armstrong playfully hit Oliver Shaw, her cheeks flushing involuntarily as she rembered his fierce passion from the previous night.
"Mind your manners in front of the kids." Oliver Shaw frowned and reminded her, and Vanessa Armstrong reluctantly acknowledged with an "Oh," as if she just rembered their daughter’s existence.
...
The honeymoon tickets that were scheduled to be booked were canceled due to lody Zachary’s sudden departure from ho.
Felix Shaw called his mother, and lody Zachary said there was no need to worry, she just wanted to go out alone to clear her mind...
Later, Mia Foster made a call to her mother-in-law, and after so persuasion, she finally revealed the hotel where she was staying.
The couple drove to pick up lody Zachary and brought her back to their own ho, a not-so-large apartnt with two bedrooms, one of which was just right for the mother-in-law to stay in.
After arranging her mother-in-law’s clothes and chatting on the sofa, Mia Foster casually inquired about her future plans. Hearing that her mother-in-law agreed to divorce, Mia imdiately declared her full support and even offered to help find a lawyer, to secure the greatest possible benefit for her.
To help lody Zachary relax, Mia Foster took her to the supermarket to buy groceries, with the two won ahead selecting ingredients and Felix Shaw pushing the cart behind. Watching the two won pause now and then to discuss so produce made the corners of his lips lift unconsciously.
Felix had always been aware of Mia’s capabilities at work, but he never imagined that such a strong-willed woman could be so easy to get along with.
Seeing the two won put down the discussed ingredients and continue on, Felix followed. It was his first ti feeling so happy while shopping for groceries in such a noisy supermarket.
