Chapter 1524
Just thinking about the day she returned home and found Miles holding Esther's hand in front of her, Felicity couldn't help but feel upset!
She had agreed to date him, but this was way too fast.
There's an old saying, "What comes too easy won't be treasured."
Who exactly said that, she couldn't recall.
...
In Anglonia, she was always buried in data analysis, with no time for movies.
Standing at the entrance of the cinema, Felicity looked up at the sign with a sense of nostalgia before briskly walking in. "Hey, can I get a bucket of popcorn and a coke, please?" "Sure, just a moment."
As the attendant turned to fetch her drink, Calvin came over with the movie tickets in hand. "I splurged on VIP seats. We can lie down."
"Wow, you really went all out."
"It's an honor to lie down next to you!"
Calvin always had a way of making her laugh.
Since they arrived early, they sat waiting with their snacks when Calvin suddenly asked, "Your brother... he's into you too, isn't he?"
"Yeah." Felicity popped a piece of popcorn into her mouth. It was sweet.
"I could tell he likes you."
Being a guy, Calvin could easily spot these things.
Felicity shrugged, unconcerned. "Who doesn't like me?"
"Ha, true. You're irresistible."
Holding the popcorn bucket, she sighed and shared some details about Miles with Calvin.
"I didn't mean to mess with him on purpose, it's just... I felt uncomfortable."
Even knowing that night, the name Miles was calling out might not have been Esther's, she couldn't help but assume it was. But! Their relationship five years later was a fact.
They even met Mrs. Sanchez and Mr. Lopez.
"Maybe if my mom hadn't tricked me into coming back home, they would've been married in a few months!"
That was a constant source of discomfort for Felicity.
After thinking for a moment, Calvin's eyes suddenly sparkled with an idea. "Want to even the score a bit?"
"Of course!"
"Well, I'm in Eldorria City for a while. I can play along in this drama with you! You can get back at him, then turn the page and... move on properly."
The moment Miles arrived at the office, he was dragged into a meeting by his secretary. Feeling somewhat guilty for neglecting his duties recently, he dove into work.
Two hours later, after straightening out the code, Miles finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Inform our clients that we can proceed with the meetings tomorrow."
"Will do, Mr. Lopez."
He stood up, checking his phone as he walked to his office-RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
No messages.
To be precise, no messages from Felicity.
There were plenty of people from the company looking for him, though.
"Little ingrate..."
Miles decided not to hold it against her and took the initiative to call.
But after a few rings, there was no answer.
Maybe she was asleep?
He returned to his office, went through a contract from beginning to end, and then glanced at his phone again. Still no word.
Worried she might actually be sleeping and he'd disturb her, he called Karen instead.
"Aunt Karen, are you home?"
"Yes!" Karen was almost ready to call him son-in-law. "What's up?"
"Well... I've been trying to reach

wondered if she might be asleep at home?"
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds before Karen replied, "Felicity isn't with you?"
"...No."
"She's not home. She changed her dress and ran out a while ago. I thought she was with you!"
Miles's handsome face tensed immediately.
Felicity wasn't at the K&J Mansion!
And worse, she wasn't answering her phone.
