The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 1638



Felicity was feeling a touch stir-crazy at K&J Mansion, so she decided to drop by Abigail's place for a change of scenery.

Ever since she found out Abigail was expecting, Felicity felt an irresistible urge to be around her, to somehow partake in the miracle of a new life coming into the world. It was a new feeling for her, something she hadn't thought much about before. The moment the door swung open, Aurora was greeted with the sight of Felicity holding armfuls of goods.

"What on earth did you buy all that for?"

"The guy at the health food store swore by these, said they're all great for pregnant women! So, I grabbed a bit of everything." Felicity beamed, "Hang on, there's more in the trunk of my car!"

Aurora couldn't help but laugh at the spectacle as Felicity made several trips to bring in all her purchases.

"I could practically open a health food store now."

"These bird's nests, and all these fruits, they're all supposed to be super foods for pregnant ladies and their babies." Felicity clapped her hands clean, "The guy also mentioned eating a bunch of grapes could give your baby big, beautiful eyes!"

She paused, suddenly feeling a bit silly for believing such an old wives' tale, especially considering her and her sister's already prominent features. "But then, with you and your husband both having such good looks, your kid's bound to be adorable anyway!" Surrendering to the inevitable, Aurora ushered Felicity to the living room couch and fetched some pre-washed fruit from the fridge.

"Try these, Craig made sure we have plenty of fresh fruit around."

He'd even gone to the trouble of peeling an apple and wrapping it in cling film, though Aurora decided not to share that particular tidbit with Felicity.

"Oh, Abigail, showing off a bit, are we?" Felicity teased, popping a strawberry into her mouth. "These are delicious!"

"Right? I thought so too. Craig actually had the delivery truck make a special stop at the farm to pick these up for me. Took a detour and everything! Make sure you take some with you when you leave."

"No, no, I couldn't possibly. Just

enough. Besides, taking your husband's thoughtful gift would quite the move. And with these strawberries plus a bowl of 'dog food', I'm all set!"

Aurora blushed at the tease, playfully swatting Felicity's arm. "You're impossible."

Felicity laughed, looking around, "Craig's not home?"

"No, he's at the distribution center, said he'd be back by five."

"That's dedication. Groom-to-be and still putting in the hours. He may not come from much, but he sure knows how to work hard. My dad even

seem all that approachable, but give him a task, and consider it done."

Recalling a time when Jeffrey needed an urgent delivery, it was Craig who had pulled through, managing a last-minute addition to the transport schedule.

"Craig's always been like that, not

one for sweet talk." Aurora nibbled on a strawberry, glancing at Felicity, "So, Felicity, after our wedding, you're heading back?"

The mood suddenly shifted with that question.

"If I can even get a flight out!" Felicity nearly sprung from the couch. She'd tried every app with no luck.

"What's the problem?"

"That would be Langston's doing."

Realization dawned on Aurora.

"My brother really is... pulling out all the stops."

To think, such tactics from Langston would have been unthinkable to Aurora just six months ago. But now, she had no doubts about her brother's capabilities.

"Not just that, he's insisting we never broke up, claiming his 'trial period' still has half a month to go!"
