The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

If blocking him meant he still lingered on her phone, she'd inevitably find herself sneaking a peek.

Deleting him, on the other hand, might finally sever those ties.

"Waiting for Craig to hit you up?" Miles Lopez's voice suddenly broke the silence above her. Instinctively, Aurora Lopez pocketed her phone. "Why would I? We're over."

"Really over?"

"Yes." She nodded. "I've thought it through. If Craig could just break up so easily, even just sending a text without wanting to meet up, it shows he didn't really love me. It was all one-sided, pointless." With that, she fished a toffee from her bag, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth.

Despite the years, Aurora's sweet tooth hadn't changed a bit.

Hearing his sister bring up "love" once again, Miles moved to the office's floor-to-ceiling window, hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How can you tell the difference between love and liking someone?" "What kind of question is that? It's easy to tell them apart!" Aurora spread her hands. "Liking someone means you care about them, but love? Love means they're the only one for you, no one else will do."

"Wow, my brilliant big brother is confused about love?" Aurora couldn't hide her surprise. If it weren't for his recent dealings with Esther, she'd have doubted her twin brother's orientation! What man has no women around him and thinks only of code? Staying with the male engineers at work, losing track of day and night.

"Be serious."

"I am serious," Aurora chuckled. "Let me guess... you haven't made things work with Felicity, have you?"

Hitting the nail on the head, especially about something so embarrassing, left Miles with no choice but to cough awkwardly, trying to ease the tension. "How did you know?"

"It's not surprising at all." The thought of her brother getting rebuffed brought a smirk to her lips. "Felicity is like a wild hare, and you, you old guard, probably just scold people with a stern face!"

"Bro, you're really into Felicity?"

Miles nodded, his voice a bit heavy. "Yeah."

"And what exactly do you like about her?"

That question.

Was as hard to answer as anything Felicity Lopez might ask!

Since childhood, Langston found girls to be troublesome, enigmatic...

And that hadn't changed with age.

Aurora stood up, sighed, and patted her brother's shoulder. "You didn't start off by proposing marriage to Felicity, did you?"

"If not marriage, what should I say?"

"Date her! Girls, especially at

Felicity's age, dream of romance and love. You rushing to marriage makes it seem like some old-fashioned arranged marriage, rushing to settle down."

Aurora's words seemed to give Miles some insight into the problem.

But then...

"She said she's going back to Anglonia soon."

"So what if she's going back to Anglonia? If you really love her, chase after her! Is our family too poor to afford a plane ticket, of is Anglonia banning you from entering?"

"...Should I really chase after her?"

Hearing this, even Aurora, who was more into the arts, couldn't help but roll her eyes at him in exasperation.

"You shouldn't chase her! You

should just stay here and grow old!

I'm not discussing love with you

ale; I refuse to be frust

death by you."
