The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1673

"Okay, spill it. One thing at a time."

Miles was here, and there was no way he'd settle for a brush-off.

"I...I..."

"Come on, spill the beans. We'll sort it out together," he said, his grip tightening around her wrist uneasily, "No matter what it is, we can fix it! This time, I'm not letting go, no way."

And he was done listening to any excuses.

Even if they weren't a perfect match, they'd work on it until they were!

Felicity was even more bewildered now.

Facing Langston's sudden quest for the truth, she hadn't planned for how to respond.

"Can I just have a moment to think, please? Just give me some time," Felicity asked, taking a deep breath, "Langston, could you maybe head back with Ms. Sanchez and Mr. Lopez first? I promise, once I've figured things out, I'll give you an answer."

She was sincere.

Miles was quick to refuse.

"No way."

"..."

"Whether you give me an answer or not, doesn't matter! I already know the outcome."

Felicity was stunned. "What outcome?"

"That you can only be with me, in this lifetime."

With that clear, everything else was easy to deal with!

Forget about Calvin, about the infertility issues, none of that was a barrier.

...

Ever since the kids grew up, Dorothy realized how seldom she and Everett walked hand in hand through the streets!

Back then, she always looked forward to them growing up, settling down, so she could relax and enjoy the rest of their days with Everett.

But the higher their positions got, the bigger their responsibilities became.

"When did I not notice how childish you can be? I should take a picture of you now and post it on the Lopez Corporation's official site! Let everyone at the Lopez Corporation see what their chairman is really like."

Everett shrugged carelessly, "Go ahead, I've got nothing to hide!"

"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

He snorted and stole a kiss on Dorothy's cheek, "When I was wooing you, I already thickened my skin enough. Why would I care about this?"

If Everett had cared just a bit about his pride back then.

Worried about his status and position, they wouldn't be where they are today.

Dorothy hugged him back, teasing, "Do you regret it?"

"Regret it? Sure!"

"Hmm?"

"Dorothy, I regret not having protected you even better."
