Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 923 - 919: The Perfect Husband

At this point, Felix Shaw slowly crouched down, knelt on one knee, and took Mia Foster’s hand, saying, "Will you come home with me? I did have other women before, but now...my heart belongs only to you."

Felix paused, looked into Mia’s eyes, pursed his thin lips, and said, "Let’s put the past behind us. I...don’t mind that you had other men too."

Seeing Felix’s rare serious demeanor, Mia was deeply moved, but simultaneously — 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

What does he mean by "don’t mind that she had other men"?

With a hint of grievance, Mia stared at the man kneeling before her and murmured, "Steven and I are innocent, I had no other men..."

Whew!

Felix felt his breath become much smoother. So...it was just his imagination.

His almond-shaped eyes curved up instantly, and he propped himself up to kiss the obviously aggrieved woman.

Two days later, Felix Shaw returned home, taking Mia Foster with him. This time, Mia went back with him willingly, without any coercion.

The next day, the couple went back to the Foster Family together. As soon as they entered the house, Felix solemnly apologized to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Seeing their daughter clearly siding with Felix, Edmund and his wife couldn’t say much.

Mia went back to work at her family company. Felix suggested that she work at his company, but Mia refused.

Being an only daughter, the responsibility of managing the family business would eventually fall on her shoulders.

However, Felix became Mia’s full-time driver, taking her to work every day and only then going to his own job. In the evening, he would punctually pick her up at the office entrance.

Occasionally, he would create little romantic surprises, such as leaving a bouquet of fresh flowers on the passenger seat or taking her to a candlelit dinner at a Western restaurant every weekend.

Now, all the female employees at the Foster company were envious, as the daughter of their president had found a perfect, attentive husband!

Since Mia returned to the country, the couple acted like a pair of love-struck teenagers, holding hands wherever they went. At Beatrice Hargrave’s concert, they enacted a romantic scene where they kissed passionately, and Evander Lancaster recorded it on his phone, teasing them for a long time.

The summer passed in the blink of an eye, and Mia had been back almost half a year. Her mother-in-law, Melody, often mentioned her desire for grandchildren whenever she visited, but Felix said he and Mia wanted to enjoy their time alone for a bit longer.

...

During these months, Melody spent most of her time on set, but she wasn’t as frantic as when she first started, running back and forth between two different productions. Back then, she always felt empty inside, only finding temporary solace in keeping busy.

Now, over three years had passed, and with time, some things had slowly faded. Besides, Oliver Shaw frequently accompanied her on set, and many uninformed people mistook him for Melody’s assistant.

Although she and Oliver hadn’t reconciled, and he hadn’t brought it up either, their daily routine of arriving and leaving the set together was indistinguishable from a normal couple.

Recently, Melody hadn’t been feeling well, possibly due to sleepless nights filming several night scenes. She constantly felt extremely fatigued, to the point of a tightness in her chest, especially when breathing.

Even though Oliver stayed by her side like an assistant, they didn’t eat or live together, and she hadn’t mentioned how she felt. That day, Melody had a scene with the actor playing her husband, which involved an argument and pushing. To avoid hurting Melody, her co-star dared not exert too much force, resulting in several failed takes. Finally, Melody said, "...Just push me hard later. It’s not like we’re slapping each other, it won’t hurt too much..."

After a break, they reshot the scene. The onscreen couple argued briefly, then the man, in a fit of rage, shoved his wife. The petite woman fell to the ground, clutching her chest and groaning in pain...
