The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1622

"Uh-huh."

"That's great." Miles forced a smile despite his chapped lips cracking a little, drawing a thin line of blood, "Abigail really loves you."

Craig nodded, "I know."

"Treat her well, will you?"

"Uh-huh."

Miles cast his gaze downwards, finding himself at a loss for words with his future brother-in-law. The air between them grew heavy with silence.

After a few minutes, it was Craig who broke the stillness.

"Trying to drink yourself to death?"

Miles blinked, caught off guard, "...I don't know. I just thought if I got drunk enough, I wouldn't have to think about anything."

Otherwise, the pain was too much to bear.

Every inch of him ached.

"It's definitely over with Felicity?" Craig had some recollection of the girl.

She was feisty and unreasonable, always approaching him with a storm brewing in her eyes.

Standing next to his nephew, the two made quite the mismatched pair.

But love, as he had come to accept, knew no bounds of mismatch or incompatibility. If two people loved each other, they were meant to be.

"She doesn't want to."

Craig chuckled softly.

"What's so funny?" Miles looked up.

"I used to think all you rich folks never knew true love, always flitting from one arm to the next! After all, with no financial pressures, all you had to do was enjoy life to the fullest."

The wealth of the Lopez Corporation alone was enough to last them several lifetimes without running out.

"Is that why you insisted on breaking up with Abigail after finding out about her background?"

"Not exactly." Craig clicked his tongue, then said, "I felt like I didn't measure up."

In terms of social status, background, education, wealth, he felt short in every aspect.

When it came to understanding women, Craig and Miles were on equal footing – clueless.

But Craig was the luckier of the two; in his relationship, Aurora took the initiative.

"Don't worry about me too much, you and Abigail. I'll be alright."

Craig snorted, "You look like a walking worry magnet."

...

Aurora hadn't slept long before she woke up. After splashing some water on her face, she didn't rush to the hospital room to check on her brother. Instead, she pulled out her phone and looked up Felicity's number.

The call didn't go through.

She tried again, with the same result.

When calls failed, she turned to WhatsApp.

"Felicity, my brother's had surgery. Drank himself into a stomach perforation. Can you find it in your heart to forgive him? Just a word from you would do!"

"I'm begging you, he's lost without you! He knows he messed up, for real!"
