Chapter 1632
Felicity grabbed herself a glass of ice-cold water, barely making her way back to her bedroom when she heard her mom's voice rise sharply behind her. "Langston?!"
""Aunt Karen."
"..." It really was him!
Having learned from yesterday's encounter, Felicity decided to simply ignore him this time, pretending she hadn't heard anything.
To avoid any misinterpretation on his part, thinking she was indirectly addressing him again.
She had just stepped into her bedroom, about to close the door.
Suddenly, a long, bony hand firmly grasped the door, halting Felicity in her tracks.
"Felicity, wait."
She paused, tilting her head to look up at him.novelbin
Miles seemed...
Like he was having a split personality crisis.
Just yesterday, he was so cold towards her, not saying a word, even deliberately choosing a seat far away from her at dinner.
She caught his gaze several times, feeling that Miles was intentionally avoiding her.
So, she also tactfully didn't approach him, just sitting in her spot, sipping wine and enjoying her meal.
But after a night's sleep, what was this all about now?
Just as Felicity was about to ask him to let go, he leaned down slightly, whispering in a volume only the two of them could hear, "There are some things Aunt Karen shouldn't hear, things I need to tell you."
She glanced over and saw her mom, standing not too far away, also quite surprised—
Enjoying the drama.
"What could possibly be so secret that my mom can't hear?"
Miles raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you want to discuss this here?"
"We're broken up, there shouldn't be any secrets we need to hide." Bringing him back into the room would just seem silly!
"Oh, alright then." Miles straightened up, his hand still on the door, but his voice became louder, "I thought about it and decided it's not right to lie to you. Actually, it wasn't Abigail who brought you home last night, it was me, uh-"
Before he could finish, Felicity jumped up, covering his mouth, and dragged him into the room, slamming the door shut!
"Are you crazy? Saying whatever in front of my mom?!"
He spread his hands innocently, "You said there were no secrets to hide."
Felicity paced the room twice before stopping in front of him again.
"I was drunk last night, did we... do it again?"
No wonder!
She was puzzled why she felt so shaky after drinking.
Miles nodded, "Yes."
"..." Drinking always leads to trouble, she thought, wishing she could. smack was

But Felicity knew her own drunken behavior all too well; there was nothing she wouldn't say or do under the influence!
However, Miles shook his head, his handsome face showing remorse.
"It was me."
Her first reaction was disbelief.
Nobody understood Miles better than she did, right?
This man was always so reserved and serious, always needing things to be official before he would even consider taking off his clothes.
Had it not been for her bold move back then, she doubted Miles would have waited until marriage to be intimate!
"You don't have to take all the blame,
I know what I'm like." Felicity took a deep breath, standing her ground, "So, what is it this time? You're here to seek justice, looking for adabel for

He cleared his throat, hoping for a more open discussion, his eyes suddenly sparkling with anticipation.
"It's true that I took the initiative last night, and yes, I'm here wanting a label, that's true too."
Even though he had secretly ensured she was safely back at the K&J Mansion, the guilt made Miles come back to confess.
