The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1449

Jeffrey could brave any danger, climb the steepest mountain or swim across the wildest sea, but defying his wife's wishes? That was a battle he'd never win.

Felicity rolled her eyes without a hint of reservation, "Long time no see, and yet, you're still as whipped as ever."

"Heh, heh, heh…"

Left with no choice, she resignedly got into the car.

All she could hope for was that Miles had forgotten about that night five years ago. That everyone could act as if it never happened!

Leaning her head against the car window, Felicity pondered her "wish." It seemed possible.

After all, he had a girlfriend now, likely more scared than she was about dredging up the past…

…

The Bay Residence was buzzing with excitement today.

From the moment Karen plopped down on the couch, her mouth hadn't stopped moving, regaling the room with the bizarre happenings at the charity she worked for!

Dorothy sat by, nodding occasionally in agreement.

"Hey? Shouldn't Felicity be here soon?" Karen paused to quench her thirst, peering outside.

No sign of the car yet!

Dorothy stood up too, checking out the window before pulling out her phone to call her son.

"Miles, where are you?"

"We're almost at Bay Residence with Esther."

"Have you seen Mr. Turner's car yet? He went to pick up Felicity, and they're not back yet."

"Old? Speak for yourself! I'm still young at heart." Karen sighed as if remembering something, "Ah, but once upon a time... I did hope Felicity and Langston would end up together. To this day, I still don't understand why she had to leave so suddenly, not even willing to stay one more day in the country, making it impossible for her and Langston bro to even meet over the years. How could their relationship develop?"

"Maybe Felicity sees her Langston bro just as a real brother, nothing more. I saw a video once saying if a boy and girl grow up together, it's hard for them to develop romantic feelings. That's probably the case with Felicity and Langston."

Karen shrugged, a bit disappointed, "There goes my dream son-in-law!"

"Don't think like that. Felicity's a beautiful young woman. She'll bring you a handsome and even better son-in-law someday!"

"All I ask is that she doesn't bring home some blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner!"

Dorothy laughed, but deep down, there was a flicker of curiosity.

When she mentioned Felicity earlier, her son... definitely reacted strangely, almost like he was reluctant to pick her up.

Could it be that there was some unresolved issue between him and Felicity?
