Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 913 - 909: Can You Forgive Uncle Shaw?
This kind of life lasted for nearly half a month. Upon hearing that her daughter-in-law was back, Melody Zachary specifically took leave from the director to come home. As soon as she walked in the door, she warmly embraced Mia Foster, "Mia, you’re back. I’ve missed you so much, Mom missed you terribly!"
Mia Foster...
According to Mia’s impression, Melody was always someone with a gentle personality. She was tolerant even when her husband brought another woman into their home. This enthusiastic and cheerful demeanor was something she was encountering for the first time, so she felt a bit unaccustomed.
Actually, what surprised her even more was yet to come. Melody had just entered the house when Oliver Shaw also walked in, standing at the entrance, looking at the two women embracing each other without saying a word.
"Auntie, you must be tired. Have a seat and rest for a while," Mia Foster politely patted Melody’s back, and only then did she release her, turning to face Oliver Shaw at the entrance, speaking arrogantly, "You can leave now. Your task of safely escorting me home is complete."
Oliver Shaw glanced at his daughter-in-law without saying a word before turning around to leave, but it was clear he was not pleased.
"Auntie, about Uncle Shaw..." After Oliver Shaw left, Mia Foster tentatively asked. Melody Zachary led her to sit down on the sofa and looked in a certain direction, saying, "That woman cheated on him, he regrets it and wants to reconcile with me."
"And you?" Mia Foster instinctively asked. The events of back then were still vivid in her memory, and Oliver Shaw’s actions were really too harsh... Later, she helped negotiate some benefits.
"Hmph, once water is spilled, how can it be gathered back again!" Melody sneered, but Mia Foster could tell that, actually, she had never really let go. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Unexpectedly, Melody’s change was so immense. Just when Mia Foster was at a loss on what topic to change to, Melody withdrew her gaze to look at her, holding her hand, speaking earnestly, "Mia, this time, don’t leave. For these years, Felix has been waiting for you, and there have been no women by his side. Forgive him for what happened in the past."
"Auntie, can you forgive Uncle Shaw?" Mia Foster asked softly, yet the latter disagreed, furrowing her brows and teasing with a smile, "This child, using my words against me.
You and Felix can’t be compared to us. Back then, Oliver Shaw brought that woman into the house, Felix is different. Though he has a wandering heart, he kept it hidden from you!"
"Auntie, please don’t say anything, I..."
Mia Foster’s words were interrupted by Melody Zachary who smiled helplessly, saying, "Silly child, I’m not speaking for Felix; if a man is willing to deceive you, it means he cares about you. If he stops wanting to deceive, lays everything out for you, by then you’ll want to hold on but can’t."
With polite lips pressed together, Mia Foster didn’t say anything more, clearly not wanting to continue with this topic. She withdrew her hand that Melody was holding, saying, "I’ll call Felix and tell him you’re back."
"No need, I’m catching tomorrow’s flight, staying at home tonight."
"Alright," Mia Foster curled her lips once more. She found that Melody was much more open-minded than she was three years ago, possibly because of her current profession that involved interacting with many people every day, leading to significant changes in her personality.
She had watched the TVs shows Melody acted, and although she wasn’t the lead actress, she had many scenes. Now she’s known domestically as the ’mother-in-law specialist’ and has her fan club, she heard.
"Mia, what’s in the house? Tonight, Mom will cook personally," while talking, Melody Zachary already stood up, and the beige coat she wore was much more fashionable than before. She walked to the kitchen, opened the fridge, looked around, and upon closing it suggested to Mia Foster, "There’s too little food at home, let’s go to the supermarket with mom."
