The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1549

No matter if they called her stubborn or cold-hearted.

When it came to love, Felicity wouldn't settle for less.

Not even for the one she had cherished in her heart for so many years.

"Felicity, honey, I've heard the whole story. Indeed, Langston shouldn't have left you at the bridal shop to rush to Esther's side at the hospital. But he truly realizes his mistake! Can't you just consider he's inexperienced and his heart is in the right place, and give him another chance?"

After all, Karen had watched Langston grow up and knew well the kind of man he was.

Felicity chuckled and shook her head, "He didn't exactly leave me. Langston was in a hurry, but he did call. I was trying on dresses and missed it, and he texted me too."

"Then..."

"But I don't think I did anything wrong," she said, looking at her mother. "I can totally understand him! If I were just his sister or a friend, I'd be praising him for being such a responsible guy! But what can I do... I'm his girlfriend, and I can't accept this."

Felicity finished with a self-deprecating laugh, "Mom, maybe I'm just meant to end up with a bad boy, haha."

"..."

"Anyway, you should be relieved Langston and I aren't married yet. There's still time!" She snapped her suitcase shut and leaned against the bed, legs swinging. "Mom, I'm just stubborn! Once I decide to give up, only I can change my mind, and I won't have any regrets."

Karen, observing her daughter's calm demeanor throughout the conversation, finally understood.

"Alright, whatever you decide, I'll support you. If it's not meant to be, then so be it. Your dad and I will visit you in Anglonia once he's less busy. If you miss us, you're always welcome back to Eldorria City. Even though Ms. Sanchez and I get along, we can't force things with our kids. If it feels awkward, just come back home quietly, and I won't tell Langston."

Felicity's eyes crinkled with a smile as she hugged her mother.

"I knew you'd understand! Mom, you're the best!"

Silent, Miles just sat there, his eyes unfocused from the alcohol.

"If you've got something to say, talk to Felicity directly. What's the point of drowning your sorrows?" She was genuinely exasperated. "Craig, can you help me get him to the car?"

"Sure."

Craig walked over, slinging Miles's arm over his shoulder. Having worked in delivery for years, carrying someone to a car was no big deal for him.

Following behind, Aurora couldn't stop sighing, feeling a mix of frustration and pity. "Bro, should I call Felicity? Maybe you two should talk again."

Miles had been silent up until then, but suddenly he spoke.

"I don't have a chance anymore..."
