Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 767 - 763, Rely on her

Before Elizabeth White could finish her melodramatic speech, Felix Shaw interrupted her with an impatient sigh, "Lizzie, things are not what you think, there have been some issues at home lately... so..."

"I don’t care, sob... Felix... I don’t care what happened at home, all I know is, you don’t want me anymore, you married another woman... you will never come to see me again..." Elizabeth sobbed and cut off Felix’s explanation. Her voice through the phone was full of grievance and helplessness, softening anyone who heard it.

Felix, feeling agitated, scratched his head and said impatiently, "Alright, stop crying, I’ll come over to see you after this period!"

"Really? Felix, are you not lying to me?" Elizabeth stopped crying, but her voice was still filled with sullen grievances that made one feel sympathy.

"Hmm," Felix responded, clearly impatient even through the phone. But Elizabeth didn’t mind and continued pitifully, "Felix, don’t forget what you promised me, that you won’t touch another woman..."

"Hmm, I remember." After these impatient words, Felix hung up the phone and rubbed his hair in frustration, feeling even more irritated.

The recent home issues had been enough to disturb him completely, making him forget everything else and seeking warmth that belonged only to him. Mia Foster had been by his side this past half month, treating him as before without disdain despite the dysfunctional family relations or belittling him...

He coveted this sole source of warmth, unrelated to love, yet he had gradually grown accustomed to the care given by Mia Foster.

Every day after work, seeing his mother and that woman vying for his father’s affection, all he wanted was to escape from that abnormal space as soon as possible.

Now that Elizabeth had phoned, he seemed to recall the existence of another woman. Standing in front of the window, looking at the outside, Felix seemed a bit dazed.

Perhaps because Mia Foster had been the only woman around him lately, he had neglected Elizabeth, relying only on Mia.

Back on set, after hanging up the phone, the sorrowful expression on Elizabeth’s face disappeared, and then she sneered coldly.

Hmph, so what if he got married? He is still firmly under her control!

"Felix, the noodles are ready, come and eat..."

Mia Foster’s voice came from the living room, and Felix turned and responded before leaving the bedroom.

In the modest dining room, Mia Foster was busy setting the table, with freshly cooked noodles in the center.

Seeing Felix come out, Mia Foster looked up at him and while ladling out noodles, she smiled and said, "Hurry up and try my cooking."

Felix sat down at the table, noticing the added poached eggs to the noodles, and casually inquired as he picked up his chopsticks, "You can cook?"

Mia Foster also served herself a bowl of noodles and sat down, lifting her eyebrows proudly, "Of course, when I was abroad all alone, I cooked every day for myself."

"Didn’t you hire a servant?" Felix curiously asked. Mia Foster looked up at him and said, "I have a bit of a neat freak in me, I’m not comfortable with strangers living in my space."

After tasting the noodles and swallowing, she looked at Felix and said, "We won’t hire a maid either; we’ll just have a part-time worker come clean regularly, and as for meals, I’ve got it covered and I’ll make sure you’re well fed."

Felix lightly curved his lips into a smile, "Okay."

Actually, he felt it unnecessary to cook and clean personally; breakfast could be ordered, and lunch and dinner handled in a restaurant. However, since she was willing, he didn’t want to refuse.
