The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Maybe when she was a kid, Dorothy harbored some hope for her father's love, but as she grew up, all that was left for the role of a father in her heart was disgust!

It wasn't until she saw how Everett showered Abigail and Langston with love and affection, treating them like treasures, that Dorothy began to rethink her stance. She had once thought that all fathers in the world were like Maxton! "Alright, see you then."

Everett squeezed her hand.

Ever since the poison had been neutralized, her body had been recovering, but her limbs remained cold, so whenever Everett had the chance, he would hold her hands to warm them up.

A little warmth was better than none.

Soon, the hospital room filled with noise.

Karen and Jeffrey hurried over as well.

Looking at Karen's growing belly, Dorothy spoke with a soft voice, "You didn't have to come all this way for something so minor!"

"How could it be minor? It's your discharge day!" Karen said with a smile, having lost a fair bit of weight from the stress of the past few days.

It was only because Jeffrey constantly reminded her that she was pregnant that Karen managed to eat properly at all.

Dorothy hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take her hand.

Before she could say anything, Karen cut her off.

"Dorothy, I know what you're about to say."

"They might not understand me, but I can't do the same! I lived through the whole ordeal." Karen patted her hand, "You did nothing wrong, this was my brother's choice." Karen never blamed Dorothy for anything.

It was just that her regrets were too many.

But now that the person in question was gone, regrets were pointless.

"I'm just worried that because of me, you'll have a hard time with the family."

As long as she didn't have to face Kenneth's parents, she wouldn't have any problems, but Karen was still their relative! They were bound to meet sooner or later. And they would certainly make things difficult for Karen.

"You're overthinking it. My aunt just lost her son, her heart is definitely not at peace, but even the deepest wounds will heal over time... it'll be

okay."

Even though she said that, Karen's eyes still filled with tears.

UM

Now, whenever she mentioned Kenneth, her tears would flow uncontrollably. "Karen."

Seeing her cry, Dorothy couldn't help but join in.

This was the first time the two women had cried together since the incident.

Just as Jeffrey was about to speak, Everett pulled him outside.

"Let them vent their emotions, it's okay."

"Sigh!"This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

If it weren't for Karen's pregnancy, he wouldn't be chasing after her like a mother hen, constantly reminding her.

"What about Lane? Is everything taken care of?"

The mention of that man filled Jeffrey with rage.

"Absolutely! Don't worry, we won't let him die before the second trial. He'll be awake to taste every kind of torture!"

If it weren't for Karen, and if he didn't

need

avoid trouble, Jeffrey

would've loved to personally take

care of that scumbag! Conne

"Good." Everett trusted Jeffrey with handling the matter.

The two men stood side by side at the door of the hospital room, exchanging glances.

"Smoke?"

"No, quit." Everett raised an eyebrow, "You smoke?"

Jeffrey gestured to his lips, "Occasionally, on the sly." "Karen's pregnant, you should be careful."

"Yeah." He nodded, then lowered his voice, winking, "Now that the poison is out of the way, and there's nothing else stopping you two, shouldn't you and Dorothy... maybe tie the knot again?"

Their current relationship was...

A bit unconventional.
