"Huh, a woman who can satisfy herself in front of her own man, what else do you expect me to think?" Felix Shaw felt a severe blockage in his chest, as if stuffed with cotton, and at that moment, he really wanted to find an outlet to vent, to find someone to brawl with fiercely—perhaps that would bring some relief.
Knowing Mia Foster’s personality... he belittled her expecting she would not back down, but unexpectedly, Mia Foster’s reaction was beyond his prediction. Brushing off the hand on her jaw, she nodded and said, "Felix Shaw, I never thought that in your eyes, this is how you define me."
Finishing her words, she pulled off the thin blanket and got out of bed.
Felix Shaw still sat on the bed, maintaining the same posture, watching Mia Foster stand in front of the wardrobe, slip into a dress, then grab a shoulder bag and walk out of the bedroom—his chest felt even more suffocating. However, he was immobilized, as if he had been acupunctured, motionless...
"Mia, where are you going so late at night?" Melody Zachary was still sitting in the living room watching TV. Seeing Mia Foster come out fully dressed, she stood up and asked curiously. Mia Foster slightly curved her lips and responded indifferently, "Mom, there’s some issue at home. They called just now and asked me to go back."
"Oh, then drive carefully," Melody Zachary instructed with concern, and suddenly remembered something. She was about to call her son, "Felix, there’s something going on at Mia’s family home, why aren’t you going with her?"
"Mom, no need, it’s a small matter. I can go back by myself."
Slipping on her high heels, Mia Foster left the house.
Leaning against the elevator wall, Mia Foster sighed. Sophie Foster said that... normal men can’t resist a woman’s seduction, yet she was the one who failed. Clasping her shoulder bag, staring at her own reflection in the elevator, Mia Foster thought that perhaps... her marriage with Felix Shaw was a mistake from the start.
At first, she was full of confidence, but now, she felt she couldn’t hold on for even a year.
On the set, Elizabeth White’s scenes kept increasing. Whenever there was any dissatisfaction, she would go to Director Zhang after work to discuss the script.
In the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, many things were no longer surprising, as long as they weren’t exposed by the media, everyone maintained their glamorous image.
These past few days, Elizabeth White’s pregnancy symptoms were severe, and Director Zhang had been urging her to find time to deal with this trouble. He had a family, and moreover, in front of the media, he had always been portrayed as the good husband.
Taking advantage of a break, Elizabeth White called Felix Shaw again to ask when he would come over, saying she had severe morning sickness, had missed several scenes, and got scolded by the director a few times...
This time Felix Shaw gave a clear response, saying he had already booked a flight to S city. After hanging up Felix Shaw’s call, Elizabeth White thought for a moment. She took out that new phone number she just received, glanced at it, and dialed.
Mia Foster had been staying in her office for the last two days and didn’t go back to her parents’ house. She didn’t want to worry them. Melody Zachary called to ask when she would come back, and Mia Foster lied that her mother wasn’t feeling well and that she needed to stay a few more days.
Hearing that her in-law was sick, Melody Zachary started to make plans to visit. Not wanting to let her parents know about the tiff with Felix Shaw, Mia Foster could only say that she would return tonight...
After hanging up the phone, Mia Foster propped her head with her hands. In the two days she hadn’t been home, Felix Shaw hadn’t called once, but her mother-in-law called every day.
After a long sigh, Mia Foster was about to continue working when her phone on the office desk rang again. Seeing the string of unfamiliar numbers, she hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone.
"Hello..."
"Hello, I am Elizabeth White,"
