Seeing Miles just glaring at her without uttering a word, her feigned headache was now turning into a real one!
"Look at you, why the fury? All things considered, you're not at a loss! Plus, it's been years..."
She had fled abroad for five years to escape this very issue, and now, upon her return, she's being interrogated!
"Felicity! Is this really about winning or losing?"
"What is it about, then?"
"You—"
When it came to verbal sparring, Felicity had inherited her mother's sharp tongue. He didn't stand a chance.
Initially, he was the one asking the questions, but now it seemed like Felicity was the one giving him advice!
"Langston, look on the bright side! Think about it, as long as you don't tell and I don't tell, who's to know, right?"
"..."
"If Esther asks, just say it was your first time! Guys can't tell anyway, just pretend you're inexperienced and all will be fine!" Felicity concluded with a clap of her hands, smugness written all over her face, "See? Problem solved!"
Miles was so infuriated, his teeth were practically grinding.
He glared at Felicity for a moment before scoffing coldly, "I might pretend, but what about you? Are you planning to pretend too, or are you considering some kind of surgery?"
"Hey? That's none of your concern. Men over here don't care about that stuff, they don't even ask."
"Your boyfriend never asked?"
"I don't have a boyfriend—" Felicity caught herself mid-sentence, quickly stopping herself, her eyebrows arching, "Langston, you don't need to worry about my side of things! You just need to sort things out with Esther, that's all. Plus, you shouldn't have singled me out to talk about this; it's bound to lead to misunderstandings... after all, you're taken now."
She had barely taken two steps before her collar was grasped from behind!
"..."
"Felicity, I was drunk that night and passed out not long after. When I woke up the next day, you were already on a plane! I tried calling you, but your phone was off, and later, you even canceled your number, so—"
"So, you understand what I'm trying to say, right?" Felicity turned around, smiling and winking at him, interrupting, "You and Esther really are a good match. I genuinely hope you can be like Mr. Lopez, spending a lifetime together, committed to just each other for all your days."
Miles clenched his fists, "My dad has only ever been with my mom in his entire life, how can I do the same with you...?"
"We agreed, didn't we? To let that night be forgotten, as if it never happened."
"Who did you agree with?"
