The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"Can you come out? Is that alright?"

"Yeah, just tell him to hold on a sec, I'll give you a call once I'm done here."

"Great! See you in a bit."

After hanging up, Dorothy put her phone down and turned around, only to jump at the sight of Everett, who had somehow appeared right beside her without her noticing!

"You... what are you doing here?!"

"You're meeting Kenneth?"

The moment he spoke, Everett's emotions were hard to hide.

"It's none of your business. If you can stay, stay. If not, better leave."

Dorothy didn't want to engage in conversation. Ever since that kiss in the kitchen, she quickly stepped back to put some distance between herself and this dangerous man.

To avoid any chance of her ex-boyfriend, now clearly a past chapter, making unwelcome advances again.

"Dorothy, you're not going."

"Go see a doctor if you're sick, but don't come here causing a scene! Who I meet is my choice."

Since when did her ex get to dictate her life!

"That Kenneth, he's not up to any good! He doesn't just want to be friends! The moment we hit a rough patch, he breaks up with his girlfriend. What do you think that means?"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

It was blatantly obvious!

"So what? We're broken up, that's the point."

Dorothy didn't feel like she needed Everett's approval to make friends.

"..." Once again, she left Everett speechless.

"Oh, right." Seeing him looking deflated, she couldn't help but tease, "Weren't you worried about me hastily finding a step-dad for Abigail and Langston? Kenneth has known them since they were babies, especially Langston. He practically raised him, so it's not like it's a rash decision."

Hearing this, Everett closed the gap, cornering her!

"Dorothy! Say that again?"

"Back off! Abigail and Langston are still around!"

Dorothy felt her breath hitch as he approached.

The next second, Langston, Abigail along, called

"Mommy! We're going to

Everett didn't step back; he even reached out to grab her hand.

"Please, don't meet Kenneth, okay?"

"This is my choice, now please leave. Kevin is busy, so just take a cab!"

At this point, Dorothy regretted not being firmer earlier. She should've just turned him away coldly.

"I'm not leaving. If you go meet Kenneth, I'll follow you."

"... On what grounds?" Dorothy, not one to back down easily, was getting annoyed, "Everett, on one hand, you break up, and on the other, you. meddle in my affairs! What, you want to have it both ways? Didn't you have Quincy?"

She still remembered Quincy's haughty demeanor.

"When

in response, "I... didn't

tell you? Nothing happened between us! Really, nothing."

"That's between you two, no need to update me."

"I'm not updating, because nothing ever happened."

He couldn't let this misunderstanding continue.

"So, what now?" Dorothy didn't avoid his gaze, looking straight at him, "What's the point of telling me all this?"

Getting back together?

Was Everett hinting at a reconciliation?

It seemed like his next words might just be about that.

"I..."
