Miles gently touched her forehead with the back of his hand.
"Still feeling lousy?" "No, not anymore." The emotional roller coaster she had been on made her forget all about her discomfort! "Maybe you should lie down for a bit, I'll take care of you." Felicity waved her hands dismissively, "No need, I'm fine-" "So, it's okay for Calvin to look after you, but not me?" "...That's not what I meant." "Then be a good girl." Miles gently scooped her up and carried her back to the master bedroom, laying her down on the king-sized bed with utmost care.
Throughout, he hadn't mentioned a word about his conversation with Calvin! This left Felicity feeling uneasy, wondering what the two men might have discussed.

"Did you and Calvin talk about... his vasectomy?" The moment she heard this, Felicity couldn't stay lying down.
She bolted upright, eyes wide, "He told you?!" "Yes." Miles walked back to Felicity, handing her the glass of water, with a hint of jealousy in his tone, "If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known there was another man willing to get a vasectomy for my Felicity." "You should have seen him, acting all high and mighty about it! As if what he was willing to do for you, I couldn't match." He scoffed coldly, "Just a vasectomy. If he can do it, so can I." Felicity immediately tried to stop him, finding the situation both amusing and exasperating, "Why are you two even competing over this? One Calvin is enough of a headache for me, Miles, please don't join in." "I know, this was Calvin's way of showing his sincerity." "It's all my fault, really. I thought by telling him I was infertile, he would give up onand move on to someone else. I never thought..." She never really entertained the idea of being with Calvin.
But ever since he got a vasectomy, Felicity couldn't shake off a feeling of guilt! As if rejecting him now would mean betraying him, playing with his feelings.
If only she knew, she would never have disclosed such a thing to anyone, including Calvin! "So, did you ever... like him?" Miles hesitated before asking.
She hesitated too, not for lack of an answer, but because things had gotten complicated. It wasn't just about whether she liked him or not.
"Miles, Calvin ended up like this because of me." "All you need to tellis whether you like him or not!" His eyes never left her, eager not to miss any hint of her feelings.
Fortunately, her answer was what he hoped for.

"What are you planning to do? Don't alvin! do anything to Calvin! Even if we can't be lovers, he's still a very good friend of mine. He's looked after all these years here in Anglonia!"
"I know he's taken good care of you; otherwise, he wouldn't even have the chance to speak to me." Miles' words were truthful.
Even though Calvin also cfrom a wealthy family, compared to them Lopez Corporation, there was a significant gap.
