The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1547

Felicity had made up her mind.

The reason she could sit here so calmly, discussing this with him, was simply...

Miles hadn't really done anything wrong.

Including visiting Esther at the hospital, it was a natural human reaction, not something blameworthy.

It was just who Miles was: a by-the-book guy who always insisted on doing the right thing, taking responsibility.

Just like with his daily work, if the code was supposed to be one way, then that was the only way it could be; mistakes or substitutions were unacceptable.

And she, she had always cherished her freedom.

Perhaps because she was still young, she craved love and romance over marching straight into marriage, settling down to domestic life.

If it were about suitability, she wasn't even as good a match for him as Esther was.

"Felicity, we’re just one step away from getting married. Do you really want to break up over this?" Miles tried to stay as calm as possible, hoping to communicate effectively, maybe... she was just momentarily upset, "I swear to you, there’s nothing between Esther and me! This visit to the hospital, it was mainly because I felt guilty."

He knew that breaking up with Esther so abruptly was harsh.

Miles's mind was a mess at the time; he thought cutting ties swiftly was the best solution—to end things with Esther and not to string her along.

Esther's suicide attempt was beyond everyone's anticipation.

He genuinely felt it was his responsibility, his duty to say sorry and cover the medical expenses.

At the hospital, Miles had made it crystal clear, getting back with Esther was out of the question.

But he wouldn't run away from his responsibilities.

"I never doubted anything between you and Esther."

"So you..."

"Langston, planning the wedding with you recently, coming home together at night, it felt really good. It made me genuinely look forward to married life! That’s what made me overlook our incompatibilities," Felicity said softly, sighing, "Today’s incident was like a cold splash of water, making me realize the significant differences between us that have always been there."
