The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"Regrets?"

His brows furrowed slightly, "After all this... you're still leaving?"

"Yeah." Felicity nodded, "Like you said, breaking up with Esther was too abrupt, not good. Our breakup was just as sudden, I didn't give you time to adjust." Seeing all her belongings still scattered around the house made her uneasy.

It was suffocating.

"So... let's consider tonight a proper goodbye. After this, let's not bring up our past."

As she reached for his jeans, intending to help him out of them, she was stopped before she could even touch him.

"?"

"Let's get back together, no breaking up."

Miles's gaze was intense.

She shook her head, "No."

"Then, we're not doing this."

"Felicity, unless you take back your decision to break up, I'm not touching you."

He decisively got out of bed, his body still visibly reacting, but he refused to lay a hand on her.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll call my assistant to drive you home."

"What about this..."

"I won't touch you without being in a proper relationship." Miles's lips formed a straight line, his voice husky, "Felicity, we're not breaking up. The wedding is still on." After a long silence, she finally adjusted her slipping nightgown strap.

"Have your assistant take me home."

...

Felicity woke up the next morning feeling heavy-eyed and feverish, probably from running out into the cold night air.

Struggling to get up, she took some fever reducer from the medicine cabinet.

In the living room, Karen Miller saw her and raised an eyebrow, "Felicity, you alright? Feeling sick?"

"Yeah, a bit."

Karen immediately stood up and checked her forehead, "You've got a fever! Should I take you to the doctor?"

"No need, it's just a minor illness." Felicity glanced at the clock, "Mom, I'm going back to bed. My head is killing me." "Alright! Go back to sleep, and if you're still not feeling well later, we'll see the doctor."

"Okay."

Nodding, she shuffled back to her room in her slippers.

On her phone, Calvin had sent several messages.

You're really coming back tomorrow? Still mad at your brother? If you're coming, I'll take the day off to pick you up!!

It's already ten over there, don't tell me you're still asleep!

Geez, I'm just offering to pick you up, no need to be so scared you can't even reply, right?

Rubbing her dry eyes, Felicity was confused.

How did you know I'm flying back tomorrow?

Calvin immediately sent over a voice call request, "Are you kidding me? You always ask me to help book your flights, so the notification number on your account is my burner phone!"

"...I forgot about that."

She was notorious for oversleeping, especially when swamped with work, often forgetting her flight

schedules. Hence, she tasken

with reminders and eventually just filled in his number directly to save herself the hassle of forwarding flight information.

"So, you're really coming back?"

"Yeah."

"Then I-"

"No need for you to pick me up. I can find my way just fine." Felicity massaged her temples, "Can you just get me a box of fever reducer

and leave it on my room's table?"

Calvin paused, "You're sick?"

He mistook her hoarse voice as just having woken up.

"Yeah, a bit. I'm going back to sleep now."

"Alright, sleep well!" Calvin quickly added, "I'll pick you up tomorrow."
