The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

On the way back, Felicity must have been exhausted from all the commotion earlier—she fell asleep almost as soon as they got into the car.

Miles didn't wake her. Honestly, he was glad she could rest for a while longer.

When they finally got back to Eldorria City, he carefully carried Felicity up to the bedroom before calling his mother.

"Mom, Felicity's really not feeling well today. We're going to have to visit another time."

"That's alright, honey. Go take care of her," Dorothy replied. Then, as only a mother can, she added, "Listen, I know we don't know if Felicity's pregnant or not, but you need to treat her like she might be. If any doctor prescribes her medication, make sure she doesn't take anything that's not safe for pregnant women, alright?"

Miles frowned slightly. "I will."

Dorothy rushed to explain, "I'm not saying this to pressure you two, or to push you into having a baby. It's just, I know this has always been a sensitive subject for Felicity. If it does happen, I know she'd be over the moon. But if something went wrong just because no one realized... well, that would be so hard on her."

Dorothy had always made it clear-she didn't meddle in her son's relationships unless he asked for advice. If she noticed something was off, she might offer a word or two, but after that, it was up to them.

"I understand, Mom. I really do."

"Good."

After hanging up, Miles glanced back at the bed. Felicity was curled up, sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but walk over and gently brush her cheek with his hand.

Maybe she sensed him nearby, because even in her sleep, the little furrow in her brow smoothed out.

Miles smiled softly. "All I want is for you to be healthy and happy. That's enough for me. Everything else... I don't care about."

Having her back in his life was more than he'd ever dared to hope for. He didn't want to ask for anything more.

After finishing up at work, Aurora finally made it home. The nanny was just coming out of the kids' room.

She smiled when she saw Aurora. "Elijah's asleep?"

"Yeah, he just went down. His dad dropped him off, and he was so worn out from playing I could barely get him into his pajamas," the nanny said, pointing to a mountain of toys in the corner. "All those are from Elijah's dad." noveldrama

Aurora sighed. If there was one thing she didn't love, it was Craig's habit of buying endless toys for their son.

Every visit it was another pile of stuff. Elijah was still little-he'd play with something for five minutes, then forget about it completely. Who knows when he'd pick it up again?

Aurora had already set aside an entire room just for toys, and even that was starting to overflow.

But... She couldn't bring herself to say no. It was Craig's way of showing he cared, after all.

Even though they were divorced, Aurora never wanted to cut Craig out of Elijah's life. The issues between the adults were just that adult problems. Their son shouldn't have to pay the price.

"Just put them away for now. I'll talk to him later and ask him to ease up with the gifts."

"Will do."

Aurora poured herself a glass of warm water and wandered over to the big window, hoping for a few minutes of peace.

That's when she noticed something across the yard. The house next door- someone was moving around inside.

"The house on our left-did it sell?"

"Yep," the nanny replied. "There's been workers coming and going all week. Looks like they're renovating."

Aurora nodded. “"Keep a close eye on Elijah, okay? With strangers coming and going, I don't want anything to happen."

It's always the wealthy families who get targeted, isn't it?

Aurora was nothing if not careful.

"Don't worry, ma'am. Whenever I take the little guy outside, he's never out of my sight."
