Back in the room, Melody Zachary was still nagging, saying it was impolite for her son not to send his future daughter-in-law home, wondering what the in-laws might think...
Oliver Shaw felt quite helpless. "Are you going through menopause too? Since when have you become so naggy?"
Melody Zachary lifted the quilt, got onto the bed, and leaned close to her husband with a mysterious air, "Honey, the ladies’ group shared a secret that can keep a woman forever young,"
"What secret?" Oliver Shaw glanced at his wife, pulled the quilt over him, and lay down on the bed, while Melody Zachary, slightly embarrassed, poked her husband’s chest, "Mrs. Xu said... being a woman often keeps you young..."
"Nonsense." Oliver Shaw scoffed, turned off the bedside lamp on his side, "Let’s sleep, it’s getting late."
"Honey..." Melody Zachary called out unwillingly, Oliver Shaw turned around and patted his wife’s back, soothing her, "Let’s sleep, I drank too much last night and still haven’t fully recovered, I’ll satisfy you tomorrow,"
"Okay," Melody Zachary snuggled into her husband’s arms, a full-time housewife, no career ambition, prioritizing home and husband above all.
...
Ever since noticing the mark on his father’s neck, Felix Shaw started paying attention to his father’s schedule, but over a month passed and Oliver Shaw went to work regularly every day, without entertaining or traveling on business.
A man, if he had a woman on the side, couldn’t possibly be this well-behaved, Felix Shaw started to wonder, was he overthinking it?
After all, he hadn’t noticed any suspicious behavior from his father over the month, and even Mia Foster hadn’t found out anything.
At the turn of spring to summer, many things quietly happened, for example, Titus Zane thought of ending it all and afterwards left T city; no one knew where he went.
During this month, although Oliver Shaw seemed inactive on the surface, he was secretly arranging for his beloved daughter to come to T city for her studies.
He even bought a property under the name of Vanessa Armstrong, not in a luxurious area, but the best school district in T city.
Over this month, Mia Foster was also very busy, staying half a month in Mystic City with her subordinates to promote the company’s new product, not even knowing Titus Zane’s situation until she returned and failed to make a shopping appointment with him, and only then hearing about it from Felix Shaw.
Regarding Titus Zane’s extreme decision, Mia Foster refrained from comment, as everyone has their own way of handling things, like Nathan Moore, who plainly did not love Titus Zane, but still kept her tied to him.
And she herself, knowing full well that Felix Shaw did not love her, yet still kept fighting for him.
Felix Shaw went on a business trip, to discuss cooperation with clients in Banyan City, and after wrapping things up, took a detour to Capital City for a secret meeting with Elizabeth White.
He had previously promised Elizabeth White to invest in a movie to let her play the leading role; conveniently, her last film had just wrapped up, so the moment he arrived in Capital City she called him over.
Felix Shaw wasn’t particularly interested in financing movies, but everything was for Elizabeth White, especially since they hadn’t met since the miscarriage.
He had dinner with the director and the screenwriter, and he was even less interested in the script they discussed.
At the dinner table, the director and several crew members kept toasting frequently; by the end of the meal, Felix Shaw was helped back to the hotel.
After settling Felix Shaw on the bed, Elizabeth White helped him off with his suit and was just unfastening his belt when someone knocked at the door.
Elizabeth White got up to answer it, the director’s assistant was standing there, "Elizabeth, Director Zhang asked you to visit his room to discuss the plot and see if you have any requests..."
"Okay, tell Director Zhang I’ll be right there."
