NovelEnglishChapter 1464 He decided to give Aurora a call, which was somewhat unexpected.
Settling down on a bench at the bus stop, Felicity replied on WhatsApp.
"Thanks, Abigail, all good now! You get srest, goodnight." Putting away her phone, on a whim, she stretched out on the bench, using the moment as a makeshift sobriety check. And you know what? Playing the part of a vagabond felt surprisingly nice! The air was exceptionally crisp in the wee hours.
After lounging for a bit, Felicity took out her phone again, her gaze inevitably drifting towards her Whatconversation with Miles.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis profile picture was just a blank black image, and his Whatnwas simply Miles.
His Twitter was a ghost town, not even worth mentioning.
Aside from the message he sent today, there was nothing else.
That was Miles for you.
He cared, he paid attention, but only with the affection of a brother for his sister, nothing more.
From his looks to his actions, even in the undertones of his conversations, Felicity couldn't sense a shred of romantic love! She didn't want to marry Miles for one simple reason: he felt obligated, willing to spend the latter half of his life making up for a mistake she made years ago. It wasn't fair to him. Sighing, Felicity felt the fatigue creeping in, so she hailed a cab.
"Hey, K&J Mansion, please." The driver, upon hearing this, added, "The standalone villa?" "Yes, that's the one." "The place yours, young lady?" Given it was late and the driver was a man, Felicity offered a small laugh and said, "Oh no, I work there as a cleaner." "Oh." The roads were empty, and they reached K&J Mansion in no time.
After paying, Felicity got out and headed straight for the villa's door. Suddenly- Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a black car! That color... definitely not her parents' car, and with K&J Mansion being a singular property in the area... Felicity walked over, and just as she neared the car, the person inside stepped out.
"Why are you here?" The man was tall, his features accentuated under the moonlight, making him look even more striking.
It was Miles.

He had been waiting at the K&J Mansion's gate for a while since she was Mansosed to be settling the bill when he sent his voice message.
Felicity pouted, "Just needed sfresh air after coming out, then I caught a cab." "Mm," Miles grunted, accepting her explanation, "Let's head back in." "Alright, see you, Langston." She waved and turned to leave.
But the sound of the car door shutting didn't follow for a long time.
Having reached the villa's steps, Felicity paused, turning slowly to look back at him by the car. "Langston." "Hmm?"
"Thanks for caring about my safety, but I still think we should keep qun distance. Like you waiting at K&J Mansion fortonight, let's not have that happen again." Miles furrowed his brows in confusion, closing the distance between them with a few long strides.
"You women are a mystery," he muttered.
"I don't get it. You're the one who refused to lettake responsibility."
"You were the one who said not to marry me, to pretend that incident O never happened, as if it was all just a bad dream. And now you're askingto deliberately keep my distance?" He looked into her eyes, a mix of bewilderment and frustration evident, "I'm just being a brother, worried about you. I'd do the sfor Abigail, for any of my sisters!"
