What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 182

Heather finally looked up at her slowly and said, "Noelle, I'm in love with Miles Kendrick."

Noelle stared at her in surprise, totally caught off guard.

"I've liked him for years." A bitter smile crept onto Heather's lips. "I've kept this secret buried deep inside. I've never told anyone."

After the initial shock wore off, Noelle laughed. "Wow, you played it incredibly close to the vest. You're not a very good friend for hiding this!"

Heather let out a self-deprecating laugh. "When you like someone, you're supposed to say it, not keep it locked away. But I... I'm too scared to say it. And yet, I'm terrified that if I don't, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Noelle could certainly relate to that feeling. However... the idea of Heather liking Miles felt a bit jarring to her.

The people in their circle had been coming and going for years, but they had all been hanging out for nearly a decade. Noelle had actually always admired Miles. His personality was the most similar to Finnian's: steady, powerful, gentle, and disciplined.

Because of that, Noelle had a soft spot for Miles and had even tried to catch his eye a few times in the past.

She never expected that Heather had also discovered this hidden gem of a man, and was now laying her feelings out on the table.

"What are you afraid of?" Noelle's bright eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"I'm afraid," Heather took a sip of tea, her fingers curling tighter around the mug. "I'm afraid someone else is going to snatch him away soon. If I don't do something now, I... I'm going to hate myself."

Noelle was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Who could possibly snatch him away? Miles said it himself last time. He's not looking for a relationship right now. He just wants to focus on his career."

"And you believed that?" Heather gave a soft, mocking laugh. "You don't seriously believe he only cares about his job, do you?"

"Doesn't he?" Noelle feigned an expression of pure shock.

"He likes Kaia. I saw it ages ago," Heather said, her voice tinged with emotion. "To be more precise, he's been waiting for Kaia."
