Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 776 - 772, can we change the method?

Since they got married, although they slept in the same bed at night, that was all... they just slept in the same bed with no real communication as a couple, and they never bathed together.

A twenty-seven-year-old man, at the peak of his physical vitality, she did not believe he had any hidden health issues, especially since that time... they had been intimate.

But ever since they got married, he had not touched her once, hence while his daily routine of leaving for work and coming home on time didn’t raise any suspicions, Mia Foster always felt that in his heart... there was another woman and that his actions were like he was preserving himself for that woman. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Upon returning home from work in the evening, her mother-in-law had already prepared dinner. Hearing that Oliver Shaw agreed to sign the documents, Melody Zachary did not show much reaction. Although Melody had been busy preparing breakfast and dinner every day, seemingly occupied and bustling, Mia knew that she had actually been forcing a smile.

Decades of affection could not be severed in a short period.

After dinner, Mia Foster handed a bank card to Melody Zachary, "Mom, this is from Felix and me as a token of our filial respect. Felix and I are working during the day and don’t have time to keep you company. You can use this card when you’re bored to invite the ladies over to play cards, have tea, and not just be cooped up at home all day."

"This..." Melody looked at the bank card her daughter-in-law handed her, then turned to her son, "I still have some savings of my own, you should keep this for yourselves."

Although Mia Foster had not discussed this with him in advance, Felix Shaw didn’t want to spoil the mood and stood united with Mia, "Mom, please take it. Mia is right, even without dad, we can still support you."

"Mom, just take it," seeing Melody still hesitating, Mia helped tuck the bank card into the pocket of her coat.

Moved by the bank card forcibly stuffed into her pocket by her daughter-in-law, Melody nodded and said, "Felix, you must treat Mia well, don’t be like your dad..."

Felix Shaw, feeling guilty, touched his nose and feigned displeasure, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

"Mom, rest assured, Felix won’t do that. If he dares to do something to wrong me, I will surely divorce him!"

Mia Foster’s playful remark made Felix Shaw feel even more guilty, thinking to himself that after sorting out his parents’ affairs, he also needed to deal with his own.

He had been focused on keeping Elizabeth White supported discreetly, but ever since his father made such a mess, he temporarily lost the heart for it.

When they retired to their room to rest, Felix Shaw grabbed Mia Foster’s hand, "Mia, thank you, the pocket money you gave mom... when I have money, I will pay you back."

Mia Foster shook off Felix Shaw’s hand, pretending to be upset, "Felix Shaw, what do you mean? Do you want to go Dutch with me? Shall we also go to the notary office to get a prenuptial property notarization?"

"Mia, you’re misunderstanding," Felix patiently explained, feeling quite remorseful, "Before... I was quite reckless with money, so I didn’t save much. I am a man, and I should cover all the household expenses..." including his mother’s pocket money, as it’s unreasonable for a man to reach out to a woman for money.

Although Felix Shaw was fickle, deep down he was quite a traditionalist. Men, being generally thick-skinned, rarely think of these concerns, especially since he had invested all his private funds into Elizabeth White’s new film and even borrowed from Nathan Moore and Nicholas Croft. Currently, he had no extra money at hand.

Watching the conflicted and emotional Felix Shaw, Mia Foster smiled mischievously, "If you really want to repay me the money, you could do it in another way."
