CHAPTER 744: 740, WHAT’S THE PLAN?

"Do you want to enjoy the blessings of multiple women?" Felix Shaw’s gaze tightened once more, his fingers tightened around the cigarette butt, burning his fingers without him even noticing.

Oliver Shaw raised his head and leaned on the sofa, sighing with a distant look in his eyes, "Felix, Dad once said that a successful man, as long as he keeps his house in order, what does it matter if he supports a woman outside? How many men are faithful to one woman their whole lives, and how many abandon their lawful wives for a younger woman?

Vanessa isn’t looking for status; she just wants to be the woman behind me quietly. Your mother and I have been husband and wife for so many years... Whatever other wives have, I won’t shortchange her,"

Oliver Shaw’s words were clear, he wouldn’t divorce Melody Zachary, nor would he sever ties with Vanessa Armstrong, having a wife at home and supporting a mistress outside.

Hearing his father say such things, Felix Shaw couldn’t help but feel a chill for his mother. Having been a husband his entire life, but this is how he is defined in his heart. Whatever other wives have, he won’t shortchange, and whatever other men deserve, he won’t miss out on...

Such a progressive elder, should he be grateful? No wonder his father openly told him before, just keep Mia Foster satisfied, and he wouldn’t interfere with his private life, so it turns out...

"Dad, I really feel sorry for my mom," a sigh of emotion, the corners of Felix Shaw’s lips were filled with both mockery and bitterness.

"Felix, if you don’t want to make your mom sad, then don’t tell her about this," Oliver Shaw turned his gaze to his son, his demeanor was as if discussing something trivial.

Felix Shaw suddenly stood up from the sofa and as he walked out of the office, he said, "I won’t let you do this anymore!"

Watching his son’s departing back, Oliver Shaw once again placed a cigarette between his lips.

Facing this situation, Felix Shaw had no mood for work, and after tidying up his own office, he left work early to go home.

Unusually, Melody Zachary wasn’t out playing cards with the ladies, but sitting on the sofa watching a TV drama.

"Mom, why didn’t you go out today?" Felix Shaw forced a smile, suppressing the heaviness in his heart, and changed out of his shoes as he came in.

"Felix, you’re back? Why did you come back so early today?"

Melody Zachary’s expression was gloomy, not very happy, and she turned her head to look at her son without the usual smile to greet him.

"Ah, there wasn’t much to do at the company, so I came back early to rest." Felix Shaw put his briefcase on the shoe cabinet and sat down next to his mother.

"Oh, did you eat lunch? Are you hungry? Shall I ask the maid to make something for you?"

"No need, Mom, what time is it already, why would I eat lunch now,"

Felix Shaw spoke as if helplessly; with what was happening at home, how could he eat? Suddenly remembering something, he asked, "Mom, did you not eat lunch?"

Melody Zachary looked down, gloomily said, "Your father has a woman outside, how could I eat?"

Phew!

Felix Shaw let out a breath, pretending to be nonchalant, "Mom, let the maid make something to eat, I didn’t eat much at noon."

It wasn’t that he hadn’t eaten much; he hadn’t eaten at all.

"You didn’t eat either?" Melody Zachary turned her gaze to her son, ever since she knew about her husband’s infidelity she had been absent-minded and somewhat slow to react.

"I ate, just not enough." Felix Shaw deliberately smiled casually, then put his arm around his mother’s shoulder, "Come on, Mom, join me for a bit."

Sitting at the dining table, facing a sumptuous meal, both mother and son ate listlessly. Seeing his mother listlessly pushing the rice around her plate, Felix Shaw tentatively asked, "Mom, if Dad really has another woman, what are you going to do?"

Melody Zachary looked up blankly at her son across from her, her chopsticks also falling onto the dining table.
