The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1505

Miles's slender fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if weighing his next words carefully.

Finally, he resigned himself to honesty.

"I don't want to deceive you. Today, Abigail shared quite a lot with me, and to be frank, understanding this concept of love you girls talk about isn't something I can grasp overnight. I need some time, and I might not be able to say the things you wish to hear, but! I do know one thing for sure—you're different to me."

Different from any other girl I've known.

Felicity rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, prompting, "Elaborate."

"..." Miles had been on the verge of saying 'I want to marry you,' but then he remembered Abigail's advice about not always bringing marriage into it! After a moment's thought, he said, "I want to date you."

"Pfft—"

Felicity hadn't meant to laugh, but she couldn't help it.

"Wait, what? Date me?"

"Yes."

She eyed him up and down, teasingly saying, "All that time with Abigail and this is the best you could come up with?"

"I didn't brainstorm with her."

That was the truth.

He'd just been on the receiving end of a lecture.

"Ah!" Felicity couldn't help but sigh. "How come you, with Mr. Lopez as such a romantic figure in your life, didn't inherit any of his flair for this sort of thing?"

"..."

"You proposing to date me feels as formal as my boss asking me to sign a contract!" Sometimes Felicity wondered how she could be attracted to someone so... bureaucratic.

Like an old-school bureaucrat.

"Did I get it wrong again? I'll take it back and think it over."

"Can you really take words back?"

Miles coughed awkwardly, still adjusting to this role reversal.

Growing up, she was always the one being lectured and managed by him, and now, he had to tread carefully with every word.

"Langston, can you honestly tell the difference now, whether you want to be with me out of responsibility, or because you genuinely like me as a person?"

"Of course, I'm not one to just drink any beer handed to me."

So the possibility she mentioned before, doesn't exist.
