Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 715 - 711, did you discover something?
Sensing Mia Foster’s hesitation, Felix Shaw looked at the increasingly hazy view outside the window and said, "Mia, I know you’re an honest woman who doesn’t lie. Tell me, did you run into dad today?"
"Um... Yes," Mia Foster picked up a pen from the computer desk, twirling it unconsciously, a sign of her nervousness.
"Where?" Felix Shaw’s almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened as he quickly asked.
Mia Foster said with a smile, "In the company’s underground parking lot, I happened to run into Uncle Shaw when I was heading back."
"You mean dad went out at noon?" Felix Shaw’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed again, focusing on the key point and ignoring the rest.
"That..." Mia Foster seemed embarrassed, "I don’t really know. I bumped into Uncle Shaw just as I was walking out of the elevator, and we chatted for a bit..."
Although she felt sorry for Felix Shaw, after all, it was his family matter, and as a fiancée who had not yet been brought into the family, it was not her place to get involved.
"Oh, I won’t disturb your work any longer. There’s a call coming in, so go on with your things."
Felix Shaw made up an excuse to end the conversation, knowing that he wouldn’t get anything more from Mia Foster. A clever woman, she only revealed that his father had been out at noon, and moreover, from her words, Felix Shaw concluded that she certainly discovered something, and it was related to his father.
After ending the call with Mia Foster, Felix Shaw stood by the window for a long time, staring at the dim streetlights outside, his eyes squinting, deep in thought.
Father said he was entertaining an old friend, and he must have already explained it to the secretary, just that—one by one
Over the years, father hardly ever went out to socialize alone. This time, it was definitely out of the ordinary, and he hadn’t even informed Felix about it.
Looking at the phone that Felix Shaw had hung up, Mia Foster shook her head and sighed. In fact, she had intended to tell Felix about the incident when she went to visit him at the company at noon, but after seeing him, she suddenly couldn’t bear to do it.
How could such a proud and privileged man accept such a cruel reality.
Although Oliver Shaw was despicable, keeping a mistress outside and even having a grown illegitimate daughter, at least he was willing to play the role of a good husband and father in front of his own wife and son, unlike some men who, once they have a woman on the side, start finding faults with their wives at home.
Putting down the phone, Mia Foster resumed typing on the computer. Just as she started getting back to work, there was a knock on the door; it was her mother, Evelyn Bailey, holding a cup of milk.
"Mia, don’t overdo it. Your dad’s there for the company," said Evelyn Bailey as she came over. Her daughter was just too strong-willed. Other daughters would go shopping or buy cosmetics, but hers spent most of her time working at home.
"Mom, I know." Mia Foster took the cup of milk, and Evelyn Bailey sat down on the bed, waiting for her daughter to finish it.
After drinking most of the milk, Mia Foster suddenly stopped and asked, "Mom, what would you do if dad had a woman outside?"
Like Felix Shaw’s mother, her own mother was also a full-time housewife who devoted her life to her husband. Mia Foster couldn’t imagine how such women, who worshiped their husbands, would react if they found out that their husband had another family outside.
"What are you talking about, you silly girl? Your dad is such a family-oriented man, how could he possibly have an affair?" Mia Foster’s words were met with Evelyn Bailey’s faint scolding, which after a brief moment turned into alarm as she suddenly grasped her daughter’s arm anxiously and asked.
"Mia, tell me, did you discover something?"
