The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1465

Wherever there was a need for help or a lurking danger, he was there to face it.

Since Felicity had declared that the incident was as if it never happened, why does she now seem so hesitant to be close to him?

Doesn't this mean that there's still something unresolved between them?

“…”

Inheriting Karen's outspoken nature, it was rare for Felicity to find herself at a loss for words like she was now.

She pondered for a long while, then suddenly said, “Langston, do you know why I absolutely hated doing morning exercises in elementary school?”

Miles was taken aback.

How did morning exercises come into this conversation?

“No idea.”

“Because you, being the exemplary high school student, would lead them.” Felicity thought back to her younger self, a smirk tugging at her lips. “The moment you stepped onto the stage, I had to endure endless chatter from the girls about how handsome you were, how pretty your face was, your eyes, even your hands.”

“…And then?”

She shrugged, “Then, hearing my name Felicity, and yours Miles, they assumed we were siblings and would swarm me, asking me to deliver their love letters to you, inquiring about everything related to you.”

Miles squinted, trying to recall those days.

Back then… his focus was solely on computers and academics. Once his homework was done, he’d dive into coding, never getting distracted by anything else.

But, as far as he could remember, Felicity hardly ever approached him at school, nor did she act as a courier for anyone’s love letters.

Still, he couldn’t be entirely sure.

It was too long ago to remember clearly.

“Langston, do you get it now?”

“Hmm?” Miles blinked, shaking his head, “No, I don’t.”

“Yeah!” Felicity nodded, forcing a bright smile. “Calvin misses me terribly if we are apart even for a day, afraid I might get kidnapped here, so he rushed over.”

“…”

“We’re very sweet together, unaffected by whether or not it was my first time! So, don’t feel guilty about the past, it’s not about responsibility or lack thereof! Strictly speaking, the incident happened because I drugged you, making you innocent, the fault lies with me.”

She spread her arms, spinning in a circle in front of Miles, “See, even I, the instigator, don’t feel guilty, why should you dwell on it?”

His lips twitched slightly, eyes locked on her face, “Have you, told Calvin about what happened five years ago?”

“Not a word! And don’t you tell Esther either.” Felicity took a few steps back, raising her hand to punch in the security code, “Langston, is there… anything else?”

The hint to leave couldn’t have been clearer.

Miles lifted his gaze, staring at her intently for a long moment before speaking in a deep voice, “You’re sure, you won’t marry me.”

“Yes, absolutely sure.”
