The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1648

Felicity was at a loss for words, her explanation coming out more parched than she intended, "I just need to go back for a bit, I'll be back before you know it! You said I still owe you half a month, I'll make it up to you! But right now, I have to go to Anglonia!"

Trying to untangle the mess with Calvin over the phone was impossible.

She even considered, if push came to shove, she might go talk to Calvin's parents, hoping they could talk some sense into him!

Vasectomy, it wasn't a light matter.

She was forced into infertility, but if he went through with the surgery, that was a rope, tying them together for life!

That was a weight she couldn't bear.

"I don't believe you'll come back to Calvin once you're gone."

"I swear, it's an emergency!"

Miles could see the genuine panic written all over her face.

So, after a brief hesitation, his lips twitched slightly, "Then go, but I'm coming with you."

"...No way."

If he followed her, what if he discovered her secret?

Then Miles might just run off and get some sterilization surgery done too!

That would really drive her mad.

"Felicity, don't leave me behind."

He couldn't hide the panic in his voice.

Miles was scared, scared that once she left this time, she’d be gone for good, never to return!

Or worse... settle down with Calvin, becoming the perfect, loving couple.

Felicity's circumstances were different from others, there were many things he couldn't do because of Mr. Turner and Aunt Karen's stance.

His mother wouldn't approve either.

Otherwise, Miles would've already whisked her away, locking her up so she could only have eyes for him forever!

"Listen, I'm just leaving for a few days, I promise I'll come back, okay?"

"Felicity."

He rarely called her full name with such seriousness.

His eyes fixed on her, filled with suppressed anger, "I feel like a fool, spinning around your little finger, tossing aside my pride, shamelessly trying to get close to you! But you, you can always easily leave me behind, running off to other men."

"..."

"Even though I don't know what you're hiding! But it hurts, I'm suffocating."

Miles's grip tightened slightly, then fearing he might hurt her, he let go.

"I've said it before, whatever it is, just tell me, and we can face it together."

Felicity's gaze darted away the moment it met his, stepping back, "I'm not hiding anything, I just need to go to Anglonia, now."

The air between them thickened into silence.

Neither spoke for a long time.

Finally, Miles pulled out his phone, his long fingers tapping a few times, then turned his tall frame away, no longer looking at her, "Alright, you can go."
