NovelBookClubAfter Miles had left, the phone rang almost immediately. Felicity glanced at it to see two missed calls already glaring back at her from the screen. She didn't need a crystal ball to know who it was and what it was about. As expected, the moment she picked up, her mom, Karen, went straight to the point. "Did you spill the beans to Langston? He knows about your fertility issues! Said you told him!" Rubbing her forehead, Felicity sighed, "Mom, I could've denied it, but then he called you, and you laid it all out..." "Uh..." Karen seemed to realize her mistake just then, "So, what do we do now? Should I call Langston and tell him I was talking nonsense? That I know nothing?" "No need," Felicity exhaled. "It's out now. And Miles won't believe any denials at this point!" "But how did Langston find out? I didn't say a word! Your dad's been tight-lipped too. I grilled him, and he swore he didn't say a thing to Mr. Lopez!" "I've got no clue." Felicity tried to retrace the whole situation in her mind, but couldn't pinpoint where she might have slipped up. "Anyway, what's your plan now, Felicity?" Karen asked, a hint of concern in her voice.
"Just thinking about it givesa headache," Felicity admitted. "What choice do I have now that Langston knows?" Given what she knew about Miles, he wasn't going to let her walk away easily.

Felicity forced a smile, her brows knitting slightly. "I just don't want to be a burden to Langston, to tie him down without the chance of having kids." "Langston isn't getting any younger.
He can weigh his options. Now that he knows, we can't be accused of tricking him into marriage by hiding your condition. Let him decide on the rest." "Right." That was the only path forward now.
When Miles returned, she had just hung up the phone.
Seeing his solemn expression, Felicity felt a wave of panic. She had no idea what the two men might have discussed. "Langston..." Miles remained silent, prompting her to tentatively call out his name.
The next moment, he strode towards her, trapping her hands and pinning her between his chest and the wall.

were sealed with his, cutting off any attempt at was firsation. The kiss deaving no room for resistance or speech.
When she finally felt short of breath, Miles released her, bis voice husky, e "You were outer as a kid." "Back then, you'd even tellwhen you wet your pants." "From now on, no more secrets, got it?"
Blinking in confusion and still catching her breath, Felicity saw him lean in as if to reprimand her with another kiss. She quickly nodded, "Yes! I got it, I got it!"
