Chapter 371

The mention of stir–fried chicken reminded Mia of the one Patricia made. It was delicious.

Suppressing the discomfort churning in her, she ordered a delivery before looking at Felix. “It’s

getting late. I should get going.”

“So soon? Didn’t you order a delivery? We can have it together.”

“It’s alright, Mrs. Quilter. I can eat at home. Besides, I’ve only ordered one serving. It’s not enough for

two people.” Mia could barely manage her expression.

Janice didn’t mind it. “I don’t eat much, stay and join me. It’s fine. Besides, Felix didn’t finish the

meat. There are still a lot of them.

“It’s the swee

sweet and sour pork you like and there’s some soup left too. You should have some.

Finish the leftovers so that we can make him fresh meals. Patients shouldn’t eat leftovers. How

about that?”

Mia was smart enough to not buy that at face value. She almost fainted from hunger there!

Now, Janice was trying to convince Mia to finish Felix’s leftover food. Never in her life would Mia

allow herself to be mistreated.

Not wanting to say more, Mia simply turned and left.

She rued her decision to come, deciding no more playing the good person next time.

If Claude hadn’t beaten Felix up, she wouldn’t have nursed him the whole afternoon only to be taken

for granted in the end.

Once the mother and son were alone, Felix frowned. “You crossed the line, Mom.”

“Oh, so you actually know how

talk? Why didn’t you speak earlier?”

“I’m putting on a show for the police. To be more precise, it was a show for Mia. If he managed to earn

pity from her, it might be easy for him to ask favors of her.

Janice praised, “Smart idea! That was unbecoming of her to have the chicken soup and sweet and sour

pork. What if the portion is not enough for you?

“I know you like her, but we should set the rule starting now. Once she becomes one of us, she should

put you before anything too. So what if it’s leftover food? Isn’t it a given for women?”

Like mother, like son, Felix didn’t see any fault with that. Still, he insisted while frowning. “Don’t do

“To make sure everything goes according to plan, we can set the rules after Mia and I are finally

official.”

Mia’s with. Felix deemed it safer to act like a lovesick fool until she fell for him.

“Felix, it’s a long journey coming to the hospital from home. It won’t be easy for me to make more food.

It takes up a lot of time to make a meal for three. Why don’t you ask Mia to settle the meals? She can

bring it over for us.”

He hesitated. “I don’t think she’ll say yes.”

“I’ll talk to her tomorrow. She’ll say yes. Things would be much easier for me then. If she looks.

after you, I’ll have more time for myself. Don’t worry, I know how to deal with women.”

Felix was at peace of mind. The fact that he was hurt because of Claude gave him more

confidence to believe that she would nurse him from now on.

This time, he promised himself to win her heart so that her brothers could invest in his company.

Otherwise, he could resort to law by suing Claude.

Now, he held leverage over Mia and her brothers!

Closing his eyes, he began making calculations for his plan–moving into Mia’s house alongside

Janice.

On the other hand, Mia felt better after having a bowl of noodles at a restaurant.

She figured that she better concoct a plan with Jason if Felix really sued Claude.

If they opted to resolve the issue personally, it was inevitable to pay Felix a huge amount of

compensation.
