Following the sounds instinctively, Mia Foster did the same. She had just turned her head and immediately turned it back. At the entrance of the fast food restaurant, the girl she had seen earlier was walking towards her, holding her mother’s hand, with Oliver Shaw walking behind them.
The steel spoon stopped in front of her lips, with a spoonful of rice. Mia Foster wondered if she should leave immediately.
But leaving now would probably be noticed. After a thought, Mia Foster pretended not to see them and continued to eat her rice with her head down.
There were quite a lot of diners in the fast-food restaurant, so much so that several people had to compete for seating space. Therefore, Oliver Shaw might not notice her.
Mia Foster continued to eat her lotus leaf rice with her head down, but her ears had already drifted far away. The girl was still chattering, "Mom, you promised me, for my birthday, you’ll buy me whatever I want... How is fried chicken cutlet unhealthy? KFC also serves fried food..."
Listening to the girl’s uncompromising voice, Mia Foster shook her head and sighed, "Another spoiled little princess," she lamented, then a familiar voice sounded.
"Xiaoxu, it’s Seraphina’s birthday, don’t upset the child."
It was Oliver Shaw’s voice. Mia Foster could tell, her body stiffened, feeling like she had thorns on her back.
Having been to the fast food restaurant twice, Mia Foster vaguely remembered what each stall sold. The fried chicken stall the girl was fussing about was right behind her, and Oliver Shaw’s voice also came from behind.
If she got up and left now, she would definitely be noticed, but if she didn’t leave... the encounter would still be awkward. While she was struggling with this, the girl’s crisp voice rang out again, "Dad is the best, I knew dad loves Seraphina the most."
Mia Foster...
Her hand trembled, and the rice in her steel spoon spilled all over the table. The girl sitting across and eating glanced at her. Mia Foster apologetically curled her lips.
The family of three behind her continued to talk, Oliver Shaw said, "Daddy loves Seraphina, and Seraphina should also listen to daddy. Fried foods are unhealthy; you should eat less of them in the future."
"Mm, got it, daddy." The girl responded crisply. Even though she couldn’t see them, Mia Foster could imagine the warm scene behind her.
Having met Oliver Shaw a few times, she had never seen him so amiable and approachable.
Who was it that said, men are not incapable of tenderness, but they just haven’t met the woman that brings out their tenderness...
It seems that the mother and daughter behind her are the women who bring out the gentleness in Oliver Shaw.
If she could still lie to herself earlier that the mother and daughter were just friends of her future father-in-law, but now, the girl actually called him "Daddy," and he happily agreed.
Mia Foster, a woman with upright principles and straightforward nature, suddenly felt very uncomfortable, feeling injustice for Felix Shaw and for his gentle and pleasant future mother-in-law.
The most infuriating thing in the world is when a man parades another woman around the city, and everyone knows he’s keeping a mistress, except his own wife who is kept in the dark...
Mia Foster could imagine how Felix Shaw and his mother might be viewed by those in the know, seen as synonyms for fools and idiots. People may flatter them on the surface, but behind their backs, they’re laughing at them, unaware of their own spouse’s and father’s affairs.
Mia Foster, being a straightforward person, and the man behind her being Felix’s father, she, as a yet to be married daughter-in-law, of course, found it inappropriate to go and confront him directly. However, sharing the same space with such a scummy old man made her lose her appetite. Immediately, she threw her steel spoon into the plate, grabbed her bag, and strode quickly towards the exit.
