The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"Just focus on getting Calvin through his surgery first!"

Felicity didn't want to be responsible for derailing someone's life.

"That's more like it."

Seeing her finally relent, Miles's heart softened. He opened his arms wide, pulling her back into an embrace, holding her tight.

"You really are my downfall."

Felicity tugged at her lips, her eyes suddenly brimming with tears, "Langston, I lied to you last time. I never... with Calvin... we didn't..." "I know."

"You do?"

Miles raised his hand as if to chastise her, gently tapping her forehead.

"You've been following me around since we were kids. How could I not know you? When I found out you wanted to break up with me because you were sick, I knew everything. You can't hide from me!"

"Let's not have a 'next time," he said, wiping away her tears gently, "I'd really go crazy, okay?"

Felicity's long, dark lashes trembled as she nodded, "Okay."

...

When Karen called Dorothy, she didn't hold back and admitted it straight away.

"I wasn't sick, coming to Anglonia with Everett was mainly to get some answers for Langston."

"It was Everett's idea?" Karen's voice was sharp through the phone.

Dorothy chuckled, "Yes."

"I knew it! That plan couldn't have been yours."

Karen had to say it!

She and Jeffrey must have kept their lips sealed then, but how did they find out?

"And you're going after me, when Felicity's big news was kept from me?" Speaking of which, Dorothy was the one who should be upset.

Karen laughed sheepishly, "What could I do? Felicity asked me to keep it a secret. Felicity and I talked a lot, and... you and Everett only have this one son to take over the Lopez Corporation. Abigail and Claire aren't interested, and if he doesn't have a child, what will happen to the Lopez Corporation?"

She was considering her best friend's family situation.

Felicity couldn't have children, yet the Lopez Corporation really had a throne to inherit.

"By the time Felicity and Langston can't work, our generation will have long been six feet under! Do you Everett and I are worried aboutnoveldrama

BUMS

that?" ,

"Karen, you're becoming more old-fashioned by the day! Whether or not there are children, how could Everett and care? Langston cares even less Dorothy rarely spoke to Karen with such a reproachful tone. Of course, Karen knew there was a bit of jest in her words, "And to think Langston is the one you've watched grow up! Could you really bear to see him heartbroken and lost after breaking up with Felicity?"

Karen was helpless.

"Felicity said Langston would get over it in time."

"Do you not know what kind of person Langston is? Even if you don't, do you not know what kind of people Everett and I are?"

The type to never give up on someone they've chosen, no matter what.

How could he possibly just 'get over it'?

How could things possibly be okay?

"Heh, don't be mad, okay?"

"If you want me not to be mad, that's easy. Just convince Felicity to say yes to marrying Langston sooner, so he can finally be at ease." Otherwise, her son would keep floating in limbo.

You'd say he's fine, but each of his smiles seemed hollow, only superficially happy.

And if you said he wasn't fine, he still went to work on time every day, not missing a beat.
