The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1671

"Ah, the things you young folks deal with, it's hard to know how to help without making things worse! Aunt Karen doesn’t ask for much, just... don’t hold a grudge against Felicity. She... she truly loves you."

From a naive adoration to years of studying abroad, his feelings remained unchanged.

Others might not see it, but Karen, she definitely understood her daughter’s heart.

Miles fixed his gaze steadily, his voice trembling, “Aunt Karen, you should've told me earlier, much earlier... I could never resent Felicity. No matter what she does, I just can’t.”

After that, whatever Karen said became a blur to him.

The call ended, and Felicity racked her brain but couldn’t think of any excuse that could make things right.

The air between them thickened, making it hard to breathe.

Their eye contact was intense, with a trace of silent accusation.

Finally, Miles spoke up.

“Silly.”

“…”

Felicity’s first instinct was still to flee.

But he caught her easily, pulling her back in front of him as if she weighed nothing.

“Handing me over so easily, could you really bear it?”

She turned her face away, refusing to meet his gaze, “Why not? We’re not right for each other. It’s only natural for you to find someone who is.”

“Felicity! Are you still planning to hide?”

“This is my home, why should I hide? Mmm—”

To stop her from saying anything more that could infuriate him, Miles chose to seal her words with his.

“Mmm!”

Felicity hadn’t expected him to suddenly close in, biting her lip.

She tried to struggle, but her wrists were easily pinned above her head!
