Chapter 375
Meet My Brothers
Mia didnât want to waste time beating around the bush. Not even for a second.
Yet, Felix gave her a loving look. âMia, youâre avoiding my question.â
Disgusted, she retorted, âI swore that if I have feelings for you, Iâll be struck by lightning. Do you
understand me?â
Her blatant vow left him completely stunned.
Never had he imagined being looked down upon like this.
In his mind, a divorced woman like Mia shouldnât be picky when faced with a career man like him.
Still, he regained his composure very quickly. âMia, you donât have to be so harsh. I wonât give the voice
recording to the police on one conditionâbe my girlfriend. Once we become a family, your brothers are
my brothers. I wonât hold him accountable for it.â
This was a setup, an overt setup.
How could Felix talk about family? So casually at that?
The world was indeed a strange place.
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 to come by.
Timothy had warned her that Felix was a calculating man, and so did Claude. Now, she finally saw it for
herself.
Just as she thought, he was trying to threaten her with the assault incident.
Helplessly, she proposed, âFelix, we can compensate you for what had happened. Name a price.â
Janiceâs eyes lit up at that, but Felix rejected it without a second thought, âI donât want money. I want
you.â
A marriage was all it would take for him to wrap Mia around his fingers and tap into her brothersâ
resources, which was more advantageous than a oneâtime compensation.
Mia found the situation absurd. âFelix, as your mother said, a divorced woman like me doesnât deserve
you.â
âThe person I like is you, Mia. Your divorce has nothing to do with my feelings.â
âFelix, actually thereâs something I havenât told youâIâm pregnant.â She resorted to her last option.
Janice piped up. âYouâre pregnant? Is it Felixâs?â
Mia was speechless at that, not understanding how the other partyâs brains work.
Her being pregnant with Felixâs child? Only when pigs started flying!
Calmly, Mia replied, âItâs my exâhusbandâs, and theyâre twins. Iâm keeping them. If you want to be with
me, congratulations in advance for becoming a fatherâtoâbe. Can you accept this?â
Felix couldnât accept the fact that the babies werenât his.
His jaw tightened as he stole a glimpse of her belly. âAs long as I can be with you, I can accept
anything, Mia.â
As long as he had the money in the future, he would have his own kids someday.
Meanwhile, Mia didnât expect that answer from him. It was somewhat touching, but it sounded
like a lie to her.
For the past few days, Claude had been giving her relationship lessons, imparting ways to
distinguish between a manâs lies and truthful words.
It wasnât normal for someone to be unfazed by such harsh realities. In fact, Felix accepted it way
too fast.
Obviously, he had ulterior motives.
Mia couldnât understand him. âFelix, what exactly about me do you like? I might as well change it.â
Why would he like an orphan like her?
âIâve shown you my sincerity. I donât think any man in this world will be able to do this far. I can
jump off the building for you too.â
Labeling him as unhinged, she blurted, âFelix, I donât like you. Even if youâre dead, I will never like
you. Thatâs it.â
