NovelEnglishChapter 1458 Tticked away, and Miles remained silent. But his silence spoke volumes. She just knew! Felicity tugged at her lips, pushing back the surge of emotions threatening to spill over, and continued with a carefree smile, "Langston, even a laid-back person likeknows marriage isn't child's play. And you, of all people! I don't need you to take responsibility, much less marry me." After all, if she were to drag him into her mess, that would be terribly unfair.
Miles stood opposite her, silent for a long while before finally asking, "What about you?" "What do you mean?" "Do you love me? The way a woman loves a man, not just as a friend." Caught off guard by his question, Felicity blurted out without thinking, "Of course not!" "My feelings for you are akin to the admiration and fondness one has for an older brother, nothing more!" With that single statement, any other possibilities between them were extinguished.

He was as hard to read as his father! "Langston?" Just as Felicity was about to move closer to ask, her eyes met Miles' intense gaze.
He frowned, "Is Calvin the reason you won't marry me?" Miles suspected that her reluctance to part with Calvin, a man with charming dimples, was the real issue.
If he hadn't mentioned it, Felicity wouldn't have even considered it! She clapped her hands together with a mischievous laugh, "Nothing gets past Langston's eyes! You're right, really like Calvin, and I definitely can't break up with him! So, forget about this idea and focus on Esther Settle down and live happily ever after." As she spoke the last words, Felicity quickly closed her eyes and turned away, rubbing them vigorously, "Langston, this wind is really strong, isn't it? It's making my eyes burt. Let's head back?" Without waiting for his response, she made her way back to the car.
While Miles was still outside, she took the opportunity to wipe away the moisture that had gathered in her eyes with a tissue. Shortly after, he got into the driver's seat and started the car.
The engine hummed, but the car remained stationary.

Not wanting to dwell on the matter or have him marry her out of "responsibility," Felicity decided to be blunt.
"Langston, when do you and Esther plan on getting married? Make sure you don't lag behindand Calvin!" behind? Make s Mile's abruptly looked up, catching her reflection in the rearview mirror- "You're going to marry him?"
"Yeah! We're both not big on ceremonies, so who knows? We might just decide to elope one of these days! After all, living together is pretty much the sas being married."
"..." He rested his hand on the steering wheel, his pale wrist peeking out from the cuff of his white shirt, "You and he are already living together?" Felicity nodded without hesitation, "Yes!" "Haha, Langston, you surely didn't stay chaste just because of that little incident five years ago, right?" After all, a man at Miles' age is at his prin terms of energy and needs.
Considering Calvin would rather die than live without the company of women, she couldn't believe Miles hadn't been with Esther.
