Chapter 1587
Craig was never one to make promises about the future.
That didn't mean he wanted Aurora to lower her living standards because of him.
She was still his princess, his gem.
He'd figure out how to give her all the things she loved, be it her favorite foods, drinks, or pastimes.
"Jealous because I was talking to Duncan?" Aurora teased, her eyes curving into a smile, "Oh, come on, not everyone who approaches me is genuinely interested. A lot of them are just trying to get a foot in the door with the Lopez Corporation." "Oh."
"Still jealous?"
"Not jealous."
She tilted her head back, mimicking him, "Not-jealous! Yeah, right, not jealous, I got it."
Aurora chuckled, "Can I stay over at your place tonight?"
Craig paused, "Why?"
"I'm scared to be alone at home! Plus, now that we've got the place, we could talk about how to decorate it tonight!"
"...All the decorating decisions are yours."
"So, you're okay with it?"
He cracked a smile, "Nope, not until we're married."
"..." Aurora almost wanted to punch him, "You sound just like my brother! So old-fashioned!"
...
After a brief talk about kids with Miles, Felicity found herself lying in bed one night, suddenly picturing the scene he described.
That tech geek would surely teach his kids how to use a computer early on!
But imagining Miles, with his eyes lowered, patiently guiding a child, she had to admit it was an appealing thought.novelbin
Such a warm scene.
Felicity conceded, she was still drawn to his looks!
It had reached the point where... she was so mad at him, swore she'd never bother with him again, but then she'd catch him giving her that handsome smile, and she couldn't help but look again.
"Ah, just like Abigail, what am I to do with my shallow, looks-obsessed self?"
She got out of bed, grabbed her robe and the towel she'd hung up to dry, and headed for the bathroom.
Standing in front of the mirror, she
untied her hair for a scalp massage, her gaze inadvertently catching a small notebook on the vanity.
It was where she tracked her menstrual cycle.
Given her poor memory, which had once led to an embarrassing situation at school when her period arrived unexpectedly, staining her skirt, Felicity had gotten into the habit of keeping track in this notebook.
She noted both the arrival and departure of her period, double-checking with a mobile app to be absolutely sure.
Flipping it open with one hand, she saw the last entry made before she returned to the country.
"Hmm... the 25th... plus three days, so next month's 28th..."
"What's today's date?"
Rushing back to the bedroom, Felicity grabbed her phone to check.
"Oh, today's the 3rd."
She put the phone down, continued her scalp massage, then suddenly-
Felicity's eyes widened as she quickly picked up the phone again to double-check the date.
The 3rd, no mistake, it was the 3rd!
Which meant the 28th had passed!
According to her little notebook, her period was now five days late!
In that moment, Felicity truly felt what it meant to be frozen solid.
"Damn! Don't tell me Langston was right?!"
Bath time was the last thing on her mind now. She grabbed her phone and dashed out to the nearest pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test. "Please, let it be negative, I'm not ready for kids yet!"
