Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 661 - 657, in front of her
Feeling the tall figure entering, Mia Foster couldn’t help but complain, how could this man be so impatient? She was just taking a bit longer to shower, yet he barged in.
Her emotions were complicated, feeling both excited and panicked. Without any experience spending time alone with a man, her hands gripped tightly to the edge of the bathtub, the normally composed her was thrown into disarray.
Behind the shower curtain, Mia Foster saw the tall figure standing in front of the toilet, as if he was about to...
Suddenly startled, Mia Foster’s face flushed red, this man actually just... Listening to the sound of the flowing water, Mia Foster felt exceedingly embarrassed.
Felix Shaw, groggy from sleep due to the urge to urinate, forgetting there was a woman in his room, pulled up his pants and turned around. Only upon seeing the tightly drawn shower curtain did he remember Mia Foster was there. Apologetically, he said, "Sorry, I forgot you were here," and then quickly left the bathroom.
Phew...
The moment the bathroom door shut, Mia Foster let out a long breath. For some reason, she had held her breath while Felix was using the bathroom. Finding it both amusing and helpless, she thought to herself, this man, hard to tell if he’s too casual or just insensitive.
Yet, he was a gentleman, at least he didn’t try anything while she was bathing.
She stayed in the bathtub for a while longer, and when it was about time, she got out wrapped in the hotel’s bathrobe. After hearing Felix Shaw using the bathroom, Mia Foster felt guiltily like a thief.
She quietly opened the bathroom door, peeking sneakily into the suite before stepping out lightly.
On the only large bed in the room, Felix Shaw occupied one side, still fully clothed and asleep. He had tossed the blanket aside, his back turned towards the center. Mia Foster climbed onto the bed, flipped the covers over and lay down, switching off the wall light and also turning her back to Felix, lying on the edge of the bed. They were distanced quite far apart. Just as she closed her eyes, Felix coughed twice. After a thought, Mia Foster turned slightly towards him and reached over with the blanket to cover Felix.
"Go to sleep, it’s late. We have work tomorrow," Felix moved a bit closer, still without turning around. Mia Foster gave an "Oh," suddenly feeling a bit disappointed. Not because Felix hadn’t done anything to her, but... shouldn’t men embrace women when sharing a bed?
Having never experienced this before, she looked forward to it. But as a woman, she couldn’t make the first move, wrestling with the thought until sleepiness finally overcame her and Mia Foster drifted off into a drowsy sleep.
Mia Foster had her strict routine; no matter how late her work ran, it couldn’t go past midnight. Every morning, she was up precisely at six, taking a stroll in the yard, then preparing herself a simple breakfast. Years of living single had cultivated these good habits, so her biological clock never failed to wake her at six.
Not accustomed to the different bed, she hadn’t yet opened her eyes when Mia Foster shifted her neck and felt a heavy weight on her waist. As soon as she moved, she suddenly opened her eyes wide in alarm, biting her lower lip, stunned into inaction.
Her facial expression was rich with emotion.
Turns out, Felix Shaw had at some point turned over, hugging her back tightly. One arm crossed under her arm to her waist, his large hand had... reached through the open collar of her bathrobe, the hot palm gripping her...
Like a bomb exploding in her brain, boom, it left Mia Foster somewhat incapacitated.
