Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 843 - 839: Dreaming of Your Tenderness in My Sleep

Titus Zane looked at the phone that had been hung up, sighed helplessly, and muttered to himself, "Brother, second brother, we really are in the same boat." Their women had all left one after another: first Titus Zane, then Sophie Foster, and now Mia Foster wouldn’t talk to him either.

Throwing the phone aside, Felix Shaw lay down on the bed. It seemed his journey to win back his wife was a long and uncertain one.

After having lunch and resting for a while, Felix Shaw went back to wait outside the company. He changed into jeans paired with a dark green T-shirt, adopting a casual appearance that made him look quite young.

Just like in the morning, he sat on the steps at the front of the company, with his hands resting on his knees, bored as he watched the street. A policeman came over to question him and left after checking his ID.

The sun was gradually setting as employees started coming out of the main entrance one after another. Felix Shaw turned his head, looking towards the entrance, but even after a long wait, there was no sign of Mia Foster appearing. After thinking for a while, he got up and walked into the company lobby, where cleaning staff were tidying up. He politely greeted them and asked which floor the manager’s office was on, as he had heard that Asian man address Mia Foster like that in the morning. The cleaner looked at him, her eyes shining brightly beneath her black skin, and she questioned his identity. This time, Felix Shaw didn’t say Mia Foster was his wife but instead said they were friends, perhaps because of their shared Asian appearance. The chubby cleaner believed him and told him the manager had already left and pointed him towards the direction of the underground parking lot.

Following the direction from the black-skinned woman, Felix Shaw arrived at the underground parking lot, which had few cars parked inside. After glancing around, Felix Shaw sighed and left the way he came. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Being in a foreign country and without Mia Foster’s phone number, he could only return to the hotel and make plans for tomorrow.

The next day, Felix Shaw arrived at the company early, standing on the path that led from the parking lot to the company’s entrance with the intention of seeing Mia Foster.

Around 8:30, a white sedan slowly entered the parking lot, parked in an empty spot, and Mia Foster stepped out in a maroon suit.

She was carrying a cream-colored handbag and walked towards the company entrance in high heels.

"Mia..." Before Mia Foster could come over, Felix Shaw went forward to meet her. Seeing the man approaching, Mia Foster’s pace slowed down.

"Mia, come back with me, okay?" Felix Shaw reached Mia Foster, grabbed her free hand, furrowed his handsome brows, and pleaded in a low tone, "Give me one chance, just one, I will never betray you again..."

Mia Foster’s hand gripping her bag unconsciously tightened. Despite deciding to start a new life, seeing Felix Shaw’s meek appearance suffocated her, her heart ached as if squeezed by a hand. Seeing Felix Shaw about to speak again, she withdrew her hand, turned her face aside, and said blandly, "Go back. Having chosen to leave, I never thought about returning."

"Mia!"

Felix Shaw grasped Mia Foster’s hand again, looked into her eyes that clearly avoided his gaze, and said, "I beg you, give me a chance. Maybe I’m just pathetic... After you left, I realized... I really love you. Every night, when I close my eyes, I think of your domineering presence. In dreams, I dream of your gentleness. In my most helpless moments, you gently stroked my back, providing silent comfort. When I made mistakes, you were like a mother, helping out a child who messed up..."
