Mia Foster paused while pushing the car door open, then turned back, "Would you betray me?"
Felix Shaw licked his lips subconsciously, "No." I have never loved, so how could there be betrayal!
Listening to Felix Shaw’s determined answer, Mia Foster smiled, did not reply to his question, but instead said, "I’m leaving, bye."
"Mhm, Bye~" Felix Shaw curved his lips into a smile, watching as Mia Foster got out of the car and then leaned back in. Before he could react, she encircled his neck and lightly placed a kiss on his lips. Mia Foster stood up, exited the driver’s side and after closing the door, stood beside it waving at him, "Drive safely."
"Mhm," Felix Shaw nodded with a smile back at her, then turned the car around to head back the way he came.
Once Mia Foster was out of sight, the smile on Felix Shaw’s face disappeared, it seemed that in the future, he needed to keep his teasing in check.
He didn’t like her, so, it was better to maintain a distance.
...
Only after watching Felix Shaw’s car disappear did Mia Foster turn around and go home. As she stepped through the front door, her parents were still sitting in the living room.
"Dad, Mom, why haven’t you gone to bed this late?" Mia Foster asked with a smile, as she casually closed the door and felt somewhat guilty under her parents’ gaze.
"Tingting, your mother told me that you and Felix are back together?" Edmund Foster was sitting on the sofa with his hands in front, without reading glasses, looking very serious.
His wife, Evelyn Bailey, sat beside him, with the sofa facing towards the door; the two of them scrutinized their daughter, almost like an interrogation.
Placing her bag on the shoe cabinet, Mia Foster took off her shoes and walked in, "Yes, he came to the company to find me today..."
"I heard about it. Standing in front of the company’s main entrance with flowers in hand, completely oblivious to the impression it makes!"
"Dad, Mom,"
Mia Foster went behind her parents, placing a hand on each of their shoulders, "I like Felix, so I want to give him, as well as myself, another chance."
"Tingting, marriage is no child’s play; you can’t simply talk of divorce over a small conflict. You just proposed a divorce to Uncle Shaw, and in less than a day, you are back together. What do you expect Uncle Shaw to think?"
"Dad, I know I was wrong. Felix said he would explain things to his family."
Mia Foster moved to sit in front of her parents, admitting her mistake for the first time with such docility.
"Hmm, don’t be too willful in the future." Edmund Foster hummed indifferently, in the business world keeping one’s word is paramount, today his daughter had caused such a scene, and in the future, he was afraid they’d lose face when meeting with the in-laws.
"Go back to your room and rest, it’s getting late." Edmund Foster gave a strict order and then stood up with his wife to head to their room. Watching her parents’ retreating figures, Mia Foster smiled and replied, "Yes, Dad, Mom, good night."
She knew that no matter what decisions she made, her parents would support her.
Happy, she went back to her room, freshened up, and as she laid in bed and closed her eyes, the image of Felix Shaw kissing her came to mind.
In the following days, she didn’t meet Felix Shaw, just as he had said, he was busy, running around the construction site every day.
Their family’s developed resort, as the project manager, could not afford any negligence or mistakes.
These past few days Mia Foster had been quite leisurely, going to work and leaving on time, occasionally when bored, she would visit the shopping mall alone.
A new mall had opened fifteen minutes away by car from the company, with clothing, a supermarket, fast food, and a children’s animation center all in one entertainment plaza.
Recently, Mia Foster was hooked on the food from one of the fast-food restaurants there, a tasty nutrition set meal.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, she drove there alone, and as she took the escalator to the fast-food restaurant, a glance at the other end of the department store escalator caught a familiar figure in sight, alongside a woman and a child.
