CHAPTER 746: 742, YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Felix Shaw’s life has always been smooth sailing, raised with a silver spoon in his mouth, never troubled like he is now.

His father is resolute, and as for his mother... After all, he didn’t witness his father with that woman, so he still has to help conceal his father’s affair.

Feeling down, he wants to find someone to confide in. These things, the less people know the better, he certainly can’t tell his brothers... That their father cheated, not only keeping a mistress but also having an illegitimate daughter...

He called Mia Foster, asking her to join him for a drink.

When Mia Foster arrived at the bar, Felix Shaw was already sitting at the counter drinking, a whole bottle of Hennessy, more than half-empty. Seeing Mia, he lifted his arm to wave, one arm draped over the counter, looking utterly intoxicated from afar.

Mia Foster quickened her steps, and as soon as she reached the bar, Felix Shaw had already grabbed her arm and thrust a glass of liquor into her hand.

"Drink with me."

Glancing at the half bottle of Hennessy on the counter, Mia Foster also took a seat on the high stool, "Felix, drink less, drinking won’t solve the problem." Rational women, no matter what they encounter, will solve it sensibly without falling into despair.

"Ha!" A scoff, laced with self-mockery, from Felix Shaw. One arm propped on the counter, the other hanging down, he slightly lowered his head to look at Mia Foster, "It’s not your father, so of course, you can speak lightly."

"Felix, that’s not what I mean," Mia Foster hurriedly clarified, "Don’t get me wrong."

"Me, misunderstand?" Felix Shaw raised an eyebrow, his peach blossom eyes were bloodshot, it seemed he was drunk, "Mia Foster, do you look down on me now? Despise my family?"

Mia Foster’s lips quivered, about to say something when she heard Felix Shaw continue, "I’m well-known as a playboy, and my dad, ha!" He laughed at himself again, "not only keeps a mistress, but keeps her for over a dozen years, Mia Foster, do you despise me?" At this moment, Felix Shaw was like a helpless child, gazing at Mia Foster, his reddened eyes not just from drinking. If one looked closely, they could also see the fine tears.

"Felix," Mia Foster said seriously, sitting sideways at the counter facing Felix Shaw, her hand resting on the glass, "I like you, just you as a person, regardless of family background. Whatever Uncle Shaw has done, that’s his business, what I like is you."

Felix Shaw’s brows unconsciously tightened due to Mia Foster’s earnest and firm tone, suddenly turning his face away to sniffle, lifting his arm to embrace Mia Foster’s shoulder, but not daring to meet her eyes, "You really are a good woman."

Taken aback by the sudden movement, Mia Foster instinctively leaned forward against Felix Shaw’s shoulder, also raising her hand to lightly pat his back through the armpit, Mia Foster said, "I am your fiancée, you are not alone."

So no matter what happens, she would be there to face it with him, not letting him battle alone.

Sniffling again, Felix Shaw took a deep breath and nodded, "I know."

After speaking, he released the hand that was embracing Mia Foster and grabbed the glass again, tilting his head back and gulping down half a glass of liquor.

Watching Felix Shaw in silence until he put down the glass, Mia Foster then spoke, "What are you going to do?"

Felix Shaw heaved another sigh, turning back to look at the empty glass, "What am I going to do? My dad said he won’t break it off with that woman, my mom said, she won’t divorce my dad, what do you think I should do?"

"Then, are you prepared to accept that half-sister from the same father but a different mother?" Mia Foster asked calmly, her words sharply pointed.

"I won’t accept, and I won’t let them have any further ties!"
