The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1657

Hearing those words, the first thing Miles thought of was Aunt Karen's remark from earlier that day.

She mentioned that Felicity now had Calvin by her side.

How could she possibly consider reconciling with him?

"Yeah, it's over."

He figured he ought to keep some dignity for himself.

"Even if she broke up due to some hidden reasons, you wouldn't want to reconsider?" Everett pressed on.

This time, Miles couldn't help but glance at his father during a red light stop.

"Dad, I think it's time to get you some hangover cure."

Clearly, his father had one too many!

Why else would he dredge up old wounds for no good reason?

"Today, at the table, Mr. Turner was cut off mid-sentence by Karen, and both looked pretty guilty. Considering how long Jeffrey and I have known each other, this seems like no small matter."

"Oh..."

"What's with that 'oh'? It's about Felicity!"

"..."

Everett took a moment to recall.

They had started talking about that after mentioning how Abigail was expecting.

So...

"Langston, is there a chance that Felicity broke up with you because she's seriously ill? Or something big happened back in Anglonia, and she didn't want to drag you into it?"

Miles had to admit, hearing this made his heart skip a beat.

He even found himself slowing down the car reflexively.

"Besides Felicity, do you plan on marrying anyone else?"

"...I haven't thought about it yet."

He felt that asserting he had no intentions of marrying anyone else at this moment would sound childish.

This time Miles turned the question back, "Dad, you and mom aren't trying to rush me into marriage and kids, are you?"

"Ha, me?" Everett scoffed before adding, "Having your mom in my life is more than enough for me. As for pressuring you guys for grandchildren, it never crossed my mind."

Despite the Lopez family's wealth and influence, he didn't feel like there was a throne to inherit.

"Langston, during those years before I knew about you and Abigail, I was fully prepared to go through life childless."

He himself had nearly missed out on having children, how could he then pressure his son to have his own?

"Dad, so if I never marry, you wouldn't mind?"

"Not at all. If you can't find the one, better to stay single."
