The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

After dropping his father back at their family home in Bay Residence, Miles drove alone back to his own place. Pouring himself a glass of ice water, he plonked himself down on the living room couch, took a sip, and then...

He pulled out his phone and dialed the headquarters of Anglonia Inc.

"I need the medical records for someone named Felicity," he instructed.

"Right away, Mr. Lopez," came the reply.

A short while later, they got back to him, "Since Ms. Miller is no longer employed here, we're missing this year's records, but I've sent everything else to your email." "Okay."

Miles didn't bother getting up to fire up his laptop; he just flicked through the records on his phone.

Years of check-ups, nothing out of the ordinary.

In fact, she seemed even healthier than him!

Here he was, stuck in front of a computer screen all day, dealing with a steadily worsening vision, not to mention the joys of neck strain and lower back pain.

Felicity, on the other hand, seemed to be as fit as a fiddle.

Tossing his phone back on the couch, Miles let out a wry smile.

Looks like Dad was worrying over nothing.

...

Later that night, Dorothy had already taken her bath, changed into her pajamas, and was about to hit the sack when she noticed Everett lost in thought, his mind seemingly miles away. It wasn't often that something puzzled him to this extent.

Naturally, this sparked Dorothy's curiosity.

"What's on your mind?"

"Huh?" Everett turned to look at her, pulling his wife closer, "Has Karen talked to you about Felicity lately?" "...No."

Lately, Trust-E Investments had been swamped; Dorothy hardly had time for afternoon teas with Karen anymore.

Everett, on the other hand, had been taking it easy He'd handed over the company reins to their son, choosing to step in only when he felt like it.

t. If he was too busy, he'd simply ignore work-related calls, confident that Langston would handle

everything.

But still, Langston was his son, and even if Everett didn't want to meddle in his love life, seeing him work like a zombie, locking his heart away, made him think it was time to do something. After all, he couldn't let his son end up alone, could he?

"Why are you asking about her all of a sudden?" Dorothy raised an eyebrow, "Did Langston say something to you when you got back tonight? Is he still hung up on Felicity?" Everett snorted.

"Your son takes after you, stubborn as a mule! Claims he's over her, that they're not getting back together."

"He doesn't have a choice if Felicity's not into it," Dorothy replied, then playfully slapped his arm, giving him a stern look, "And what do you mean 'takes after me'? So, all his good traits are from you, and the bad ones he got from me?"

Everett leaned in to kiss her forehead with a chuckle.

"Of course not, Abigail got her good looks from you!"

"Stop trying to charm me," Dorothy waved him off, looking at him intently "But seriously, why bring up Felicity again? Did Jeffrey tell you something? Could it be... Felicity still has feelings for Langston?

"It's not that he told me anything specific. It's just, I think he and Karen are hiding something. Something about Felicity."

"Why would they? Karen tells me everything!"

Dorothy was used to sharing even the most intimate details with Karen.

Everett let out a heavy sigh, "But not this. Something about Felicity... that's connected to a pregnancy or a child."

As soon as he finished, Dorothy's eyes widened in shock!

"Don't tell me... Felicity secretly had Langston's baby?"

The couple had lived together for a while; a pregnancy wouldn't have been surprising.noveldrama

But-

"That doesn't add up! If Felicity was pregnant, she would have shown by the time Abigail got married when she came back."
