Time ticked away, and Miles remained silent. But his silence spoke volumes.
She just knew!
Felicity tugged at her lips, pushing back the surge of emotions threatening to spill over, and continued with a carefree smile, “Langston, even a laid-back person like me knows marriage isn’t child’s play. And you, of all people! I don’t need you to take responsibility, much less marry me.”
After all, if she were to drag him into her mess, that would be terribly unfair.
Miles stood opposite her, silent for a long while before finally asking, “What about you?”
“What do you mean?”
“Do you love me? The way a woman loves a man, not just as a friend.”
Caught off guard by his question, Felicity blurted out without thinking, “Of course not!”
“My feelings for you are akin to the admiration and fondness one has for an older brother, nothing more!”
With that single statement, any other possibilities between them were extinguished.
Miles lowered his gaze, his thoughts inscrutable.
He was as hard to read as his father!
“Langston?”
Just as Felicity was about to move closer to ask, her eyes met Miles’ intense gaze.
He frowned, “Is Calvin the reason you won’t marry me?”
Miles suspected that her reluctance to part with Calvin, a man with charming dimples, was the real issue.
If he hadn’t mentioned it, Felicity wouldn’t have even considered it!

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
