The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1519

"..."

The moment the words left her mouth, Felicity realized she was on thin ice. If she wasn't careful, her mom would smell a rat!

"What's going on with you two?" Karen glanced between her daughter and Miles, her gaze lingering.

Seeing Miles about to speak, Felicity quickly cut in.

"Mom! I'm not mad at Langston! He's just overthinking things, right, Langston?"

Now, the pressure was on Miles.

He tugged at his lips, intending to speak, yet his hand never left hers.

After all, he was scared! If he let go now, she might just jet back to Anglonia tomorrow.

"Yeah, Aunt Karen, we're not mad at each other."

Karen narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing them both before settling onto the couch, arms crossed. "Felicity, out with the truth."

"...I'm not lying."

"Not talking, huh? Fine." She pointed towards the bedroom door. "Then you go to your room, and I'll have a chat with Langston alone!"

A solo interrogation with Miles?

Wasn't that the same as spilling the beans?

Miles, a guy who was addicted to the internet and utterly clueless about women's nature, definitely couldn't outwit her mom's cunning tactics.

Moreover...

If the truth came out, it might not even be a bad thing for Miles!

"Mom! Langston was saying on our way here that he's got work to do at his company! Don't keep him here just because you like him, and hinder his work!"

After her spiel, Felicity frantically signaled Miles with her eyes.

Only if he left quickly, could she be safe.

"Langston, don't look at her," Karen interrupted directly, "I've known you since you were a baby, fresh out of the delivery room. I was the first to hold you! There's nothing you can't tell Aunt Karen, spill the beans!"

"Langston!"

As soon as Karen finished, Felicity blurted out.

But Karen, she immediately stood up from the couch, patting her daughter on the shoulder, "Felicity, look at you! You managed to snag Langston even though he had a girlfriend!"

"...I did not snag him!"

"Aunt Karen, Esther and I broke up first, then..."

"Then what? I never agreed to be your girlfriend!" Felicity was already furious, and now seeing Miles siding with her mom, she was absolutely livid!

She stormed back to her bedroom!

Miles hurried after her, but mindful of the elder present, he awkwardly glanced at Karen.

She, however, was all smiles, waving him off, "Go on, the spare key to her bedroom door is behind that blue vase!"

"Thanks, Aunt Karen."

"Ah! No need to thank me, we're all family here!"

Watching Miles rush to make amends, Karen's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

Calvin was handsome, but compared to Langston, he was definitely a notch below!
