Felicity's comment was meant as a casual jest, but Miles' silence cast an awkward pall over the conversation.
After an uncomfortable lull, Felicity widened her eyes and stammered, "You... you can't possibly tell me that... that was your only time, right?"
After all, he was nearly in his thirties!
Having spent years abroad, Felicity was no stranger to the party scene and had naturally assumed that Miles was experienced with numerous women.
Yet, now, seeing him silent, she was taken aback.
"How can you be so casual about this?" Miles finally spoke, irritation lacing his tone. "Felicity, do you understand what this means? It's something that's meant for married couples!"
She nodded earnestly, "I didn't understand before, but I do now."
Felicity examined him before whispering, "Don't you ever think about it?"
"Felicity!"
"Langston, you're not... there's nothing wrong with you, is there?" she asked, her gaze darting toward his midsection.
Miles immediately covered her eyes and pushed her back into the car seat!
"I've said what I needed to say. If you don't want to get married, I won't force you," he stated, his voice heavy, refusing to broach the topic again.
Felicity glanced out the car window, trying to change the subject, "Yeah, okay. Let's not talk about it anymore."
...
After dropping Felicity off, Miles felt restless and decided against going home alone, driving instead to Bay Residence.
His parents were there; at least it would be lively.
Upon entering, he found Everett massaging Dorothy's shoulders. They both looked up in surprise, "You're back so early?"
Dorothy chuckled at her husband's comment, "What are you saying? This is Langston's home, of course, he can come back whenever he wants."

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...
