Throughout his childhood, Miles had been practically glued to his computer screen, and as he grew older, he threw himself into his career with the sfervor, leaving little room for romance. In this regard, he was nothing like his father, Everett, who had been scribbling love notes and nursing crushes since middle school.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMiles, on the other hand, seemed to be missing that romantic gene altogether.
It was only now, at his age, that he'd finally accepted Esther's advances and embarked on his very first relationship! So, when Dorothy saw her son's reaction today, she couldn't help but harbor sdoubts.
What she hadn't anticipated was that Miles and Esther had already... well, let's just say they'd gotten quite intimate.
Caught off guard by her direct hit, Miles squirmed uncomfortably, "Mom..." "Don't tellyou're coming hat this hour not because you were with Esther, but because you went to see Felicity." || || Dorothy felt a headache coming on.
She pulled her son into his room, wanting to get the lowdown in private.
This wasn't a matter to be taken lightly—it could very well affect her relationship with Karen! "Felicity's been out of the country for what... five or six years now? When did this... thing between you two happen?" "She left for Anglonia the day after." Dorothy was taken aback, "So, right after high school graduation?!" Miles, avoiding eye contact, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt as if it would help him breathe easier, "Yeah." He only mentioned the timeline, deliberately omitting the details of their encounter.

Miles rubbed his temples, exasperated, "It was Felicity's idea to keep it a secret, not mine." "Felicity?" Hearing this, Dorothy felt somewhat relieved.
She had been worried her son was trying to shirk responsibility.
Observing his furrowed brow, Dorothy sighed softly, "Then tell me, what do you think about all this?" .ne? "I..."

After pondering for a moment, she asked, "Langston, tellhonestly, how do you feel about Felicity?" > "Like a sister." The little sister he had watched grow up! "Just a sister?" Miles nodded, "Yeah." "So, you wanted to marry her just because of what happened between you, without any romantic love?" At this question, Miles hesitated.
He remembered Felicity's question from earlier.
"Mom, she suddenly asked if I love her, you know, the way a man loves a woman." Dorothy raised an eyebrow, "And what did you say?" "I didn't know what to say, so I said nothing."
