Hearing Frances’s voice, Felix Shaw frowned impatiently, just about to speak, he felt he shouldn’t interrupt and was about to hang up, but on the other side, Frances didn’t give him a chance to speak and dropped a bombshell right away.
"...I’m pregnant, three months along, I’m in City T, I want to meet with you,"
"What does your pregnancy have to do with me!"
Out of impatience, Felix Shaw forgot about the presence of Mia Foster for a moment, and shouted in displeasure. After shouting, he belatedly turned to look at Mia Foster, met her calm gaze, licked his lips, and stammered, "Uh, I’m a bit busy right now, can’t get away, let’s talk about it tomorrow..."
The palm of his hand grew warm from the phone snatched by Mia Foster and held to her own ear, her tone serious without any excess emotion.
"Miss, what does your being pregnant have to do with my fiancé?"
"Fiancé?" Frances repeated puzzledly, then heard Mia Foster say, "Yes, Felix and I just got engaged, I’m his fiancée. Whatever you need to discuss, you can talk to me as well, whatever he can do, I can also handle."
Although he only intended to use Mia Foster as a shield, for some reason, Felix Shaw felt guilty, feeling like a husband caught cheating and found out by his wife to be seeing another woman.
After several attempts, reaching out to Mia Foster to get his phone back, she just glanced at him indifferently, unmoved.
On the other end of the phone, after hesitating for a few seconds, Frances said something unclear, but Felix Shaw only heard Mia Foster say, "Okay, I’ll be there in about twenty minutes."
After ending the call, she tossed the phone back to Felix Shaw and glanced at him unfriendly, then turned to the driver in front, "Driver, please turn around, to Happiness Road."
"Eh, where are we going?"
Seeing the driver changing directions, Felix Shaw hurriedly asked, and Mia Foster coolly glanced at him, "To sort out your problematic affairs!"
Mia Foster felt she could set up a fortune-telling stall, jokingly suggesting to Felix Shaw to gather all his past women, and just after dealing with one, another showed up.
Happiness Road, an ordinary residential area, Frances decided to stay at a friend’s home to take care of her pregnancy since the friend and her husband had moved abroad, leaving the house in City T vacant.
Following the address given by Frances, the car stopped in front of an apartment building, and Mia Foster got out first, glanced at the building, and was about to step forward when she noticed Felix Shaw still seated in the car.
She walked back, tapped the car roof, "Get out!"
Felix Shaw hesitated, unwilling to get out, rolled down the window, and coyly said, "Let’s just go back, there’s no need to bother with this crazy woman."
"Crazy woman?" Mia Foster coldly laughed, "Do you know what this crazy woman just said?"
"What did she say?" Felix Shaw looked puzzled at Mia Foster, who suddenly leaned closer, one hand on the car roof and the other holding the car door handle, Felix instinctively recoiled, only to see Mia Foster half-smiling, "She said, if you don’t give her an explanation, she’s going to hold a press conference and announce to the media that you’re the father of the child in her womb."
"So what? I’ll just deny it when the time comes, and the media can’t do anything to me when I’m not in showbiz."
Felix Shaw said dismissively, eliciting a smack from Mia Foster; her hand on the car roof reached into the car and flicked Felix Shaw’s head, "Don’t you have a brain, she calls you just after we got engaged, how coincidental is that!"
