The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1684

Maybe it was that breakup with Craig that cast a long shadow over Aurora.

Or maybe... Magnolia was right.

Deep down, she knew they were different in many ways.

Craig looked at Aurora's face, pulling her into his arms and gently rubbing her back.

"Hey, don't be like this, especially with the baby on the way! Today was my fault, I should've told you first from now on."

He wasn't the best at comforting others.

Usually, Aurora would deal with her minor mood swings on her own.

And she'd never dare express the big ones.

So, this was still somewhat new territory for Craig.

"It's not about you being wrong or whether you should've told me first..." Her lips pursed in silence, leaving only one thought, "Maybe it's just the pregnancy making me emotional. Don't worry about it."

"..."

"My parents are flying back tomorrow morning, can you pick them up? It might be hard for me to drive! My mom called today, and I accidentally mentioned you weren't home, and she started worrying. I think if we both go to pick them up, she'll feel better."

Craig nodded, "Sure, I'll clear my schedule for tomorrow morning."

Aurora raised an eyebrow, "Is your morning really that busy? If it's important—"

"Nothing's more important than making sure your parents are reassured."

"..."

Aurora couldn't shake the feeling.

There seemed to be a different undertone in Craig's voice.

A hint of... displeasure.

...

Finally, Felicity figured it out.

Turns out, Ms. Sanchez wasn't sick at all. The herbalist they'd called wasn't for Ms. Sanchez; it was for themselves!

They hadn't stayed long before buying plane tickets and leaving.

The sudden halt made her jolt forward, looking at him with wide eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Felicity! All your lies have been exposed, and you still won't give me a status?!"

"..."

"I'm telling you, don't even think about tricking me again, and definitely keep away from that Calvin, unless I'm dead!"

Felicity shrank back a bit, "Don't jump to conclusions, that's not what I meant..."

"Then decide when you'll marry me! In this lifetime, you can only marry me."

She muttered, "So possessive..."

Miles scoffed, "I've been gentle before, and what did it get me? Your endless breakup schemes, hiding things from me, refusing to speak up!"

He wasn't just annoyed with Felicity.

He was even more frustrated with himself!

How could he have believed her, wasting all that time!
