Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 799 - 795, The Mother-in-law’s Intentions

"Mia, there’s fruit in the fridge, can you get it for me and make some juice to cool down?" Melody Zachary’s voice came from the kitchen. Before Mia Foster could speak, the man holding her from behind had already replied for her. He turned his head toward the kitchen and shouted, "Mom, got it. Mia will get it for you right away."

After saying that, the man turned back and said, "Mia, mom asked you to get the fruit for her."

Taking a deep breath, Mia Foster slipped off her high heels and said softly while stepping out of them, "Let go."

Reluctantly, Felix Shaw had no choice but to release his hold, his hands in his pockets as he stood at the entrance hall, watching Mia step out of her shoes and turn back around.

Mia took grapes and peaches from the fridge to the kitchen, where Melody was washing them and said, "Mia, I’ve spoiled Felix since he was a child, I didn’t educate him well. From now on, I promise to discipline him strictly. Please look past this for my sake and give him another chance, okay..."

Mia curled her lips but remained silent.

After dinner, unlike before, Melody didn’t keep Mia to watch TV with her but kept urging the couple to go back to their room to rest.

It was summer and hot, so Felix took his own shirt and pants for Mia to take a shower in the bathroom.

After showering and putting on Felix’s clothes, Mia felt no excitement or impulse; instead, she felt an inexplicable sadness.

It is said that when you fall in love with someone who also loves you, it’s the happiest thing in the world. But with her and Felix, despite how proactive she had been, he remained indifferent until the moment she turned away, when he finally declared his love.

Reining in her emotions, Mia walked out of the bathroom. Felix had been sitting on the couch with his mother but then went into the bathroom to shower after seeing Mia come out.

Smiling at Melody, Mia had just sat down on the couch when Melody urged her again, "Mia, go back to the bedroom and rest. It’s getting late, and you have work tomorrow. Don’t stay up too late; it’s bad for your health,"

"Okay, I’ll rest now. You should also go to bed early," said Mia as she got up, feeling awkward alone with Melody under the current circumstances.

Entering the bedroom, everything remained as she had left it: the bright red curtains, the bright red bed sheets. But her feelings had changed, no longer possessing the initial thrill and passion.

Felix said he would sleep on the couch, so Mia lifted the blanket and lay down on the bed. Suddenly remembering she hadn’t called home, she got up again to get her phone.

"Mia, why did you come out again? Please go rest, you don’t need to stay up with me," Melody quickly said when she saw Mia, clearly intending to give her son and daughter-in-law some privacy.

"Oh, I just need to call home," Mia replied.

Mia walked toward the coat rack where her bag was hanging, and Melody nodded in agreement, "Oh yes, you should call your in-laws, otherwise they’ll worry."

Just as Mia took out her phone from the bag, Felix had come out from the bathroom, "There’s no need, I’ve already called mom and dad."

"You called them already?" Mia looked at Felix skeptically, "When did you call?"

"While you were preparing dinner," Felix sat down on the couch, "I told them you wouldn’t be going back tonight, so there’s no need for them to save dinner for you."

Mia Foster...

If her parents knew she had returned to the apartment, she wondered what they would think. However, it was strange that they hadn’t called to ask about her at all.
