All Novel Sweet
Chapter 1626
Felicity hadn't made her way back to Anglonia, instead opting to gallivant across several European countries.
Her journey was a mix of leisure and exploration.
She didn't gain weight, but her skin got a tan, and she cut her hair short, giving her a more crisp and refreshing look.
Gone was the image of the obedient girl, replaced with a hint of rebellion.
It wasn't until five days before Abigail's big wedding that she booked a flight back to Eldorria City.
Checking the time and realizing it was already late at night back home, Felicity decided not to inform her parents to avoid having her dad rush to pick her up!
Figuring she knew the code to K&J Mansion, she planned to just head straight there.
Packing light with just a few clothes and a wedding gift for Abigail, Felicity sent the rest of her belongings back to Anglonia, carrying only a small suitcase with her to the airport.
On the flight, with time to spare, she worked on the data analysis project Calvin had asked for as a way to brush up her skills.
After all, once she left Eldorria City, she'd need to start job hunting again - she couldn't just wander forever.
Landing smoothly at 1 AM, Felicity wasn't particularly tired but felt the wear of the long flight.
Exiting the airport, she hailed a cab, "Hi, K&J Mansion, please."
Months away hadn't changed Eldorria City much, aside from the colder weather.
While in the taxi, Felicity ordered some collapsible hangers online, thinking of taking them back to Anglonia since they were quite the novelty there - not a matter of affordability, just availability. Upon reaching K&J Mansion, she paid the cab fare and peeked inside her home first - the living room was dark, everyone likely asleep.
Entering the code, she sneaked in like a burglar.
Passing the living room, she noticed an array of snacks and wine bottles on the coffee table as if her parents had thrown a mini-party. "Wow, talk about romance..."
There was even a heart-shaped candle among the decor!
Grabbing a few peanuts, Felicity headed to her bedroom.

Despite her moments of frustration, being back always felt warm and comforting.
"Our homeland is a garden, every flower is in full bloom..."
Humming happily, Felicity showered away the journey.

The moment she turned on the light, she was met with the unexpected sight of a man sitting on her bed.
The sudden encounter left both of them frozen.
The man, equally surprised, blinked sleepily, confusion written all over his face.
"Miles? Is that you?!"
Indeed, the man in her room was none other than Miles.

"Why are you here?!" Felicity's voice seemed to snap him back to the present.
He glanced around, recognizing the surroundings as her room.
"Sorry, I had a bit to drink and must've dozed off. Aunt Karen must've helped me here to rest."
