The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1576

"Felicity, so..."

Jeffrey hadn't finished his sentence when he was interrupted by Miles, "Mr. Turner, if Felicity's not heading back, neither am I."

Felicity shot him a glare, "And what are you planning on staying here for? Just so you know, my apartment is on a lease-share basis. There's no room for you!"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to mooch off your place."

It's just an apartment, right? He could simply buy it!

Then, not just Felicity but Calvin too would technically be renting from him.

She sensed something off in his tone, "What are you up to now? I swear I'll tell Ms. Sanchez!"

"It's nothing, let's just grab some dinner first."

...

Back in the States, at the Bay Residence.

Today, Aurora came back to discuss with her folks about when to bring Craig over to meet them.

Dorothy had no objections, "Whenever Craig is available is fine by me."

Since her daughter was head over heels and Craig had once saved Aurora's life, he seemed trustworthy enough not to add any stress for the kids.

"And what about dad?" Aurora turned to her father sitting beside.

Everett raised his eyebrows, "Wherever your mother goes, I go."

"Great! Then I'll set it up with Craig! And I'll let you know a day in advance."

"Alright." Dorothy smiled, "Abigail, I always thought your brother would be the first to get hitched. Looks like you're beating him to the altar."

Aurora grimaced, unwrapping a piece of toffee and popping it into her mouth, "He's hopeless! I even told him how to charm a girl, but no, he had to be all old-fashioned. And look where that got him? His girl's gone, and now he has to chase her all the way to Anglonia."

If you asked her, a confession in the hospital, playing the sympathy card when his head was all bandaged up, might have worked on someone as soft-hearted as Felicity.

Everett quickly stood up, wrapping his arms around his wife, trying to appease her, "Dorothy, I love your traditional charm!"

...

"There, you admitted it!" Aurora laughed heartily before grabbing her bag and making a swift exit.

She didn't want to risk her dad catching up to her!

As the door closed behind her, Dorothy pushed him lightly, "What's with the PDA in front of the kid?"

"I was just worried about you getting upset."

"After all these years, you think I'd get upset over something so minor?"

She got up, planning to iron some clothes that had dried in the wardrobe.

Everett followed, clearing his throat and inching closer, "So, about this Martin guy Abigail mentioned... who is he?"
