The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

As Calvin Hoffman was about to reach out to her, Felicity took a step back, putting distance between them. "No chance, I'm not in the mood for romance right now."

"I'll wait for you, no rush."

He knew as long as she and her brother were estranged, he'd eventually get his chance. Calvin was well aware that, when it came to Felicity, he had only one true rival.

...

After returning home, Felicity made a point to call Abigail to apologize for leaving early.

"It's okay, Felicity, I'm not mad about it! Did you sort out what you needed to?"

There was a pause, then a sigh. "No, I didn't."

"Then you better get to it! I'm really not upset."

"Yeah."

Felicity wanted to ask how Miles Lopez was doing, but the words died in her throat.

What good would asking do?

Ever since she was diagnosed with infertility, reaching out to him, giving him any hope, felt like dragging him down. Better to live and let live.

After a shower, perhaps worn out from the journey, she fell asleep quickly.

She dreamt a lot, even dreaming that Miles wanted to undergo a vasectomy after learning the truth!

That nightmare woke her up at 4 a.m.

Sitting up in bed for a while, she finally grabbed her phone.

There was a missed call from her mom.

Felicity called back with one hand while heading to the bathroom to freshen up.

"Hey, Felicity!"noveldrama

"Mom, did you need something?"

"Just checking in. You left so suddenly, even missed the wedding. Was there an emergency?"

Felicity saw no reason to hide the truth about Calvin from her mother.

There was a long silence on the other end before her mom spoke, "He really is sincere! I didn't expect Calvin to be so serious about you."

Felicity massaged her forehead in

frustration. "Mom, it's not about whether he's serious. Now that Calvin has gone through with this surgery, and because of me. I feel a lot of pressure!" en

Things were never meant to be this complicated.

Felicity just wanted to focus on her work, take trips, and relax.

She hadn't planned on revisiting romantic relationships anytime soon.

Even the thought of staying single forever wasn't daunting.

But Calvin's actions had burdened her with an inexplicable guilt, as if she had locked herself into a commitment to be responsible for him.

"What can you do? It's Calvin's body, and you can't decide for him!"

"Felicity, Ms. Sanchez asked me after the wedding if you and Langston were back together... so, you two...?"

Mentioning Miles only added to her headache.

"I plan to keep this secret from him for life, sono, there's no chance for us." Felicity quickly added, "And you must keep it a secret too! Even from Ms. Sanchez, you must keep it under wraps!"

"I understand, I won't tell a soul, not even your dad about Mr. Lopez." Karen Miller sighed, "Honestly, if it, were Langston with the infertility issue, fully support you choosing not to have children, not to worry about it! But... now that it's you, I can understand your feelings,

That's why she had chosen to keep silent.

Felicity lowered her gaze, only daring to ask her mother, "Langston, he's okay, isn't he?"
