Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 649 - 645, give me one year.

After dinner, the two said goodbye at the entrance of the restaurant. Watching Mia Foster drive away, Felix Shaw followed suit.

When she returned home, her parents were sitting on the couch. Her mother, Evelyn Bailey, stood up to greet her, "Mia, how did your match-making go?"

Mia Foster kicked off her high heels, slipped off her shoes, and walked in, then proudly linked her arm through her mother’s, "What? Don’t you trust your daughter’s charm?"

"This child, always so mischievous."

Evelyn Bailey chided with a smile, while Edmund Foster looked up from his newspaper, glanced at his daughter through his reading glasses, and remained silent.

Mia Foster took off her windbreaker, and mother and daughter sat down on the couch. Evelyn Bailey turned to her husband, "Edmund, do you think that Felix Shaw can be trusted?"

"Mom, there you go again." Before Edmund Foster could speak, Mia Foster frowned in displeasure, "You and dad promised me, to let me choose from those photos."

Evelyn Bailey said helplessly, "Who knew you’d fall for him?"

"Dad," Mia Foster sat up straight and looked at her father, who was reading the newspaper on the single couch, "You know, nowadays many men appear honest and gentle, but behind the scenes, how many don’t secretly keep mistresses? Even though Felix Shaw is a flirt, at least he doesn’t hide it. Such a man is surely better than those who are hypocritical, right?"

"What kind of logic is that,"

Evelyn Bailey frowned in disapproval, feeling powerless over her daughter.

She grew up pampered but without being spoiled, and her capability at work didn’t need to be worried about. It’s just the matter of choosing a husband... sigh, she’s too assertive, and her mother can’t influence her at all.

Edmund Foster looked at his daughter; although a stern man, he was indulgent with his own daughter. However, "Your mom has a point, that Shaw kid doesn’t have a good reputation out there."

"Then why did you show me his photo." Mia Foster pouted in mock unhappiness, facing her father’s helpless look. She stood up, walked over, spun around, and sat on the arm of the couch, resting her hands on her father’s shoulders, "Dad, you promised me, let me choose my own husband. I’d rather stay single my whole life than live under the same roof as a man I don’t like."

"What nonsense are you talking about, child," Evelyn Bailey chided helplessly, but Edmund Foster spoke seriously.

"Mia, think carefully. Felix Shaw is not just any flirt. Your mom and I worry about you getting hurt by him."

"Dad, give me one year. If I can’t make him fall head over heels for me, I’ll look for someone else, okay?"

"Getting married isn’t child’s play, how can you choose a husband so capriciously?"

"Mom, what era are we living in now? There are divorces even after marriage, and besides, we are only dating for now." After saying this, Mia Foster turned her gaze back to her father, "Dad, am I right?"

Edmund Foster sighed, "Alright, I promise you. In a year, if that boy is still such a flirt, you’ll have to break up with him."

"Edmund..."

Evelyn Bailey tried to object, but Mia Foster was already smiling, promising her father and crossed two fingers, "Okay, I, Mia Foster, swear to my parents again, if I can’t win over Felix Shaw in a year, I’ll break up with him."

"You’ll do what you say?"

Edmund Foster didn’t hold much hope for his daughter conquering Felix Shaw, but he knew his daughter well. If she didn’t give it a try, she probably would never let it go for the rest of her life. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"I’ll do what I say." Mia Foster promised solemnly.
