CHAPTER 729: 725, THE STUBBORNNESS BURIED DEEP IN ONE’S HEART

At the dining table, two people sat side by side, Mia Foster focused on her food, somewhat afraid to look at Felix Shaw’s face.

Just a moment ago they...

She even felt her face burning at the thought, she wasn’t promiscuous but a few times they almost had an unintended fling.

Felix Shaw ate his food, his handsome face showing no emotion. In fact, people who knew him understood that he was usually in a bad mood when serious.

He had really lost his mind earlier. If it weren’t for the aunt knocking on the door in time, he would have almost touched this woman.

He wasn’t a saint, but he had promised Elizabeth White, that he wouldn’t touch another woman while they were together.

It wasn’t that he was loyal, perhaps there was a stubbornness deep in his heart. Over the years, though he had been with many women, he did not have the habit of straddling two boats at once.

Every time he fancied another woman, he would cleanly break it off with the previous one.

After finishing the rice in her bowl, Mia Foster put down her tableware, pursed her lips clearly still afraid to look up, "I’m done eating."

When the aunt knocked on the door to call them for lunch earlier, Felix Shaw dawdled in the bathroom for quite a while before he came out with her. Surely the aunt must have misunderstood, otherwise she wouldn’t have looked at her with a chuckle.

"Mhm, go watch TV over there," Felix Shaw responded indifferently, his expression still not looking too good. He was angry with himself, but Mia Foster mistook that he was upset because their intimate moment was interrupted by the aunt.

"I’ll go back home now," Mia Foster stood up, having caused yet another misunderstanding earlier, and it was her who...

Felix Shaw glanced at her indifferently, "Your clothes, the aunt took them to wash, they’re probably not dry yet."

Mia Foster...

Caught up in the embarrassment, she had actually forgotten about that, said an "Oh", walked to the sofa in the living room, sat down, watched the TV programs, waiting for her clothes to dry.

Felix Shaw hadn’t finished his meal yet when his mother, Melody Zachary, returned home, carrying quite a few shopping bags, it looked like she just came back from a shopping spree.

Mia Foster stood up, "Aunt, you’re back,"

"Ah, when did Tingting come over? Don’t you have to work today?" Melody Zachary spoke while walking over, a woman from Southriver, petite and delicate, a fifty-year-old woman who looked in her forties due to good maintenance.

Melody Zachary spoke softly and loved to smile, giving a gentle and virtuous impression. Unconsciously, the image of the woman she bumped into at the mall yesterday surfaced in her mind, her slightly raised eyes clearly belonged to a formidable character.

"Oh, at work, today I went to the construction site with Felix..." Mentioning the accident at the construction site, Mia Foster felt very guilty. She only saw the injuries Felix had sustained when he walked into the bathroom; his waist down to his ankles were hit by bricks.

"Mom, didn’t you go out to play cards? Why did you come back so early?"

Before Mia Foster could finish, Felix Shaw had already put down his utensils and came over, dressed in a milky-white casual outfit which suited his handsome face well, clearly not wanting his mother to know about the injury he sustained at the construction site.

"You child, how can you speak like that?" Melody Zachary set the shopping bags beside the coffee table and sat down with Mia Foster on the sofa, "Do you disdain Mom for coming back early, disturbing your time alone together?"

"Aunt, Felix didn’t mean it that way." This time Mia Foster spoke first, already misunderstood by the housemaid, she didn’t want Felix Shaw’s mother to misunderstand as well.

"Aunt knows," Melody Zachary held Mia Foster’s hand, smiling, "Tingting ah, why haven’t you visited us recently? Felix said you’ve been busy at work but no matter how busy, you should also give yourself some time to relax, right? You and Felix have been engaged for so long and you haven’t stayed over at our house, don’t leave tonight. Aunt will personally cook some hometown flavors for you."
