Time seemed to freeze, neither of them shifting their gaze.
After what felt like an eternity, so long that Felicity started to feel a dull ache in her lower back, Miles finally spoke.
"What does it mean, not to settle?"
"It's the same question, Langston. Do you love me? Not the kind of love that comes from growing up together, where you protect me out of a sense of duty. I'm talking about romantic love."
She knew all too well that she meant something to Miles.
He cared about her, would even risk everything to keep her safe!
But...
That wasn't love.
Clearly, Miles couldn't see the difference.
She forced a laugh, trying to lighten the mood. "Alright, you better get going. I can make my way back to the K&J Mansion on my own."
Felicity nudged him, but he didn't budge.
"I admit, I don't quite understand what you mean, but if you teach me, I can learn."
"Teach you what? How to love me?"
"Yeah."
Felicity sighed, resigned. "There's no need! Langston, I really don't want to marry you."
He finally stepped back.
Seizing the moment, she tried to walk away, limping slightly.
Miles's lips formed a thin line as he followed her, supporting her slender arm. "What if I insist on marrying you?"
He had another option.
All he had to do was tell Mr. Turner and Aunt Karen about what happened back then and last night, and the marriage would likely be set.
But Miles didn't want to coerce her using such private matters!
It was disrespectful.

Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
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....
