The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1635

On one hand, Felicity was still brainstorming on how to navigate the tricky waters of unexpectedly expanding her family, and on the other, she'd already whipped out her phone, flicked through an app, and booked a flight back to Anglonia!

A response?

What response?

If he could play his cards first, trying to corner her into marriage with a child, then surely, making a run for it was fair play, right?

"Ugh...this flight's got bigger seats, let's go with this one."

After punching in her details, Felicity hit the pay button—

And suddenly, her phone screen flashed a message.

【Sorry, your ID has been locked, and you cannot complete the payment.】

"Locked?!"

She leapt up from her bed, tried deleting and re-entering her details.

But the same message popped up.

"What in the world, why would I be locked?" She hadn't stolen or robbed anyone. Why was this happening?

Felicity furrowed her brows, reminding herself to stay cool.

Let's try another flight!

Two minutes later...

"Darn it! Why? Just why?"

Just as Felicity was about to grab her parents' phones to try again, Miles called.

To keep his mood stable, she felt compelled to answer.

"Hey, Langston."

"Felicity, I just wanted to double-check with you, you're going to give me an answer, right?"

"Absolutely!" Felicity said with exaggerated sincerity, "My word is my bond."

She figured a text message later would count as a response.

"I need to be honest about something," Miles said, not sounding one bit apologetic.

"Go ahead."

Felicity talked as she shuffled in her slippers towards her parents' bedroom.

"I locked your ID to prevent you from leaving Eldorria City without discussing it with me."

"..."

She froze in her tracks, "Could you repeat that?"

"The app you use for buying tickets? My company developed it, and I just added you to the blacklist."

Aurora's morning sickness was peculiar.

Sometimes she'd go a whole day without feeling nauseous, other times, she'd be hugging the toilet every few minutes.

Already thin, she became so frail that a strong wind could blow her away.

Craig's logistics company was just taking off, swamped with work, and she didn't want to burden him, so she soldiered on alone.

"Have you eaten lunch?"

Over the phone, the sound of wind whistling through Craig's worksite was unmistakable.

"I did."

"What did you have?"

Caught off-guard by his question, Aurora couldn't come up with an answer.

Craig knew it!

"Wait for me, I'll bring you some pancakes."

He remembered her saying she wanted some that morning.

Aurora was taken aback, "You're not busy?"

"I'll come over after this delivery."
