Chapter 375
Mia didn’t want to waste time beating around the bush. Not even for a second.
Yet, Felix gave her a loving look. “Mia, you’re avoiding my question.”
Disgusted, she retorted, “I swore that if I have feelings for you, I’ll be struck by lightning. Do you
understand me?”
Her blatant vow left him completely stunned.
Never had he imagined being looked down upon like this.
In his mind, a divorced woman like Mia shouldn’t be picky when faced with a career man like him.
Still, he regained his composure very quickly. “Mia, you don’t have to be so harsh. I won’t give the voice
recording to the police on one condition–be my girlfriend. Once we become a family, your brothers are
my brothers. I won’t hold him accountable for it.”
This was a setup, an overt setup.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow could Felix talk about family? So casually at that?
The world was indeed a strange place.
She thought that her adoptive parents had bizarre characters, but Felix and Janice took it to a whole
new level.
It finally hit her that good people were hard to come by.
Timothy had warned her that Felix was a calculating man, and so did Claude. Now, she finally saw it for
herself.
Just as she thought, he was trying to threaten her with the assault incident.
Helplessly, she proposed, “Felix, we can compensate you for what had happened. Name a price.”
Janice’s eyes lit up at that, but Felix rejected it without a second thought, “I don’t want money. I want
you.”
A marriage was all it would take for him to wrap Mia around his fingers and tap into her brothers”
resources, which was more advantageous than a one–time compensation.
Mia found the situation absurd. “Felix, as your mother said, a divorced woman like me doesn’t deserve
you.”
“The person I like is you, Mia. Your divorce has nothing to do with my feelings.”
“Felix, actually there’s something I haven’t told you–I’m pregnant.” She resorted to her last option.
Janice piped up. “You’re pregnant? Is it Felix’s?”
Mia was speechless at that, not understanding how the other party’s brains work.
Her being pregnant with Felix’s child? Only when pigs started flying!
Calmly, Mia replied, “It’s my ex–husband’s, and they’re twins. I’m keeping them. If you want to be with
me, congratulations in advance for becoming a father–to–be. Can you accept this?”
Felix couldn’t accept the fact that the babies weren’t his.
His jaw tightened as he stole a glimpse of her belly. “As long as I can be with you, I can accept
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanything, Mia.”
As long as he had the money in the future, he would have his own kids someday.
Meanwhile, Mia didn’t expect that answer from him. It was somewhat touching, but it sounded
like a lie to her.
For the past few days, Claude had been giving her relationship lessons, imparting ways to
distinguish between a man’s lies and truthful words.
It wasn’t normal for someone to be unfazed by such harsh realities. In fact, Felix accepted it way
too fast.
Obviously, he had ulterior motives.
Mia couldn’t understand him. “Felix, what exactly about me do you like? I might as well change it.”
Why would he like an orphan like her?
“I’ve shown you my sincerity. I don’t think any man in this world will be able to do this far. I can
jump off the building for you too.”
Labeling him as unhinged, she blurted, “Felix, I don’t like you. Even if you’re dead, I will never like
you. That’s it.”
