Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 915 - 911: The Plot to Reclaim Her Documents

"You’re just making excuses for yourself!" Melody Zachary chided disapprovingly, and then earnestly said, "Felix, women are meant to be cherished, you can’t let Mia Foster feel wronged." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Mia Foster buried her head in her rice, not wanting to join the conversation between mother and son. But suddenly she felt a tug on her shoulder as Felix Shaw pulled her closer. "Mom, can’t you see how much I cherish Mia? Look at her, she’s gained some weight these days staying at home without having to work."

Mia Foster...

If they weren’t in front of elders, she would definitely have flipped out. This man, brazenly spouting nonsense.

Melody Zachary shook her head helplessly, then picked some food for Mia Foster. "Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore, let’s eat before the food gets cold."

After they finished eating, Melody Zachary wanted to clean up the kitchen, but Felix Shaw pulled her back to the living room. "Mom, you just got back, relax and sit down. Mia and I will handle the cleanup."

After settling his mother on the sofa, Felix Shaw, for once, headed into the kitchen. He took the gloves from Mia Foster, put them on, and started washing the dishes at the sink.

The sunset’s glow streamed through the window, casting its light on Felix Shaw. With the golden light, Felix’s silhouette gave off the illusion of a wholesome family man.

Standing behind Felix, Mia Foster unconsciously paused her wiping of the countertop.

"Honey, I know I’m so handsome you can’t take your eyes off me. But you can stare to your heart’s content when we’re lying down tonight. No need to stand there all dazed, Mom’s watching from the living room."

Mia Foster...

Out of instinct, she glanced towards the living room. Melody Zachary was watching them with a smile, causing Mia’s face to feel a bit hot with embarrassment. Annoyed, she said, "Stop being so conceited!"

Felix Shaw didn’t say anything, but the corners of his lips were raised high in a smile.

The next morning, Melody Zachary left, picked up by Oliver Shaw. Mia Foster thought the Shaw men were all alike: flirtatious but unwilling to let go of their wives. Such selfish and self-centered men weren’t worth forgiving at all!

Before Felix Shaw left for work, Mia Foster asked again about her documents, but received the same reply: they were locked in his office drawer. While changing his shoes, Felix jovially asked, "How about this? Come work at the company with me, and you can take the opportunity to steal your documents back..."

"Get lost!"

With a loud roar, Mia Foster had already pushed the tall man out the door.

Mia Foster felt helpless. She couldn’t just march into Felix Shaw’s company and cause a scene. Half a month had already passed. Although Director Foley and the assistant were there at the branch office, she still worried a lot.

Finally, Felix Shaw had to go on a business trip. While packing that night, he asked Mia if she wanted to join him. Mia coldly refused; after being oppressed by him every night, she finally had a chance to break free. Moreover, she could use this chance to retrieve her documents from his office.

Mia Foster had hopeful thoughts, but as Felix Shaw left with his suitcase, she regretted it. That lousy man patted his luggage and said, "Honey, I took your documents with me, so don’t get any ideas."

Seeing Felix Shaw’s smug look, Mia Foster nearly coughed up blood.

These past few days, Mia Foster didn’t dare call her parents. The moment she spoke, her father would sternly ask when she would divorce Felix Shaw. Her documents were still with him; how could they divorce like this? Although she had filed for divorce a year ago, there had been no outcome yet.

Mia Foster knew that Felix Shaw was only being so troublesome because the Foster Family cared too much about appearances.

During the time Felix Shaw was away, Mia Foster thought of many ways, but each was dismissed by herself. Felix might seem carefree and clueless, but he’s crafty. So she needed an all-encompassing plan, one that would succeed in one go. Otherwise, if that jerk found out, she might never leave the country again in this life.
