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 tant vow left himpletely 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 hisposure 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 be a family, your brothers are


    my brothers. I won’t hold him ountable for it.”


    This was a setup, an overt setup.


    How could Felix talk about family? So casually at that?


    The world was indeed a strange ce.


    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 toe by.


    Timothy had warned her that Felix was a calcting man, and so did ude. 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 canpensate 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–timepensation.


    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 herst 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, congrattions in advance for bing a father–to–be. Can you ept this?”


    Felix couldn’t ept 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 ept


    anything, 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, ude had been giving her rtionship 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 epted 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.”
