The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"Like... which phrase?"

Dorothy furrowed her brows, "From the sound of it, it's pretty clear you're planning on lying to me in the future, huh? Everett, if you make a promise, you better stick to it! No lies, got it?"

If something like an antidote situation happened again, she was definitely going to make a scene with him!

Every time there was any kind of danger, he always kept her in the dark, always rushed in to take the lead, and then she ended up owing him so many favors... she couldn't even begin to repay them all. Everett lifted his hand, gently smoothing out the frown lines on her forehead, "Yeah, I won't lie to you anymore."

"And when all this is over, let's get married again, okay?"

Dorothy felt a bit shy saying this, but since it was out there, she wasn't going to be awkward about it.

"That eager to tie the knot?"

"Only because it's with you, I thought we could hurry it up."

The corners of Everett's mouth almost couldn't contain his grin.

What was this feeling?

Even he had his moments of waiting for the clouds to part and the moon to shine through.

In the car, the two of them leaned against each other, feeling each other's breaths, heartbeats.

But this peaceful and harmonious scene didn't last long. They soon saw a car driving into the neighborhood from the entrance.

It was just a car... but it was Kenneth's.

Instantly, Everett's brow furrowed.

Currently, Kenneth couldn't drive, so one of his friends was acting as a temporary chauffeur.

It seemed like there was a sort of innate sensitivity between rivals!

Even though Everett wasn't driving his usual Maybach today, Kenneth could still, in the moment he got out of the car, look over in their direction and accurately pinpoint Everett. Dorothy subconsciously looked at the man next to her, worried they might start arguing again at this moment.

"I..."

"You stay in the car. I'll go over."

Everett said and was about to leave when Dorothy quickly grabbed him, "Kenneth is just worried about his sister! He's not coming for me."

"I know, but I just don't want him looking at you."

"

Everett patted her hand, then got out of the car to approach Kenneth, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Are they upstairs?"All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Kenneth, actually having seen Dorothy and the car she was in, had figured out what was going on.

But in front of his rival, he didn't want to show his disappointment.

"Yeah." Everett nodded, "But you're not in a position to go up right now. Wait for Karen to contact you."

Kenneth quickly grasped Everett's implication, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Originally Jeffrey forced my sister into accepting him, and she had no choice but to marry him. Now, after an argument, he's pulling this stunt again?"

"Who knows if this is just a kind of thrill between spouses?" Everett e chuckled, standing in front of

Kenneth, looking down on him, "You wouldn't know, not having been

married."

"If my sister really didn't love him, she wouldn't have agreed to marry."

Plus, with himself and Dorothy around, it wasn't likely that Karen would be forced into marrying someone she didn't love!

Even if Jeffrey was pushy, he wouldn't dare mess with Dorothy's best friend.

After all, Everett was there.

"Agreeing to marry because she was sweet-talked by empty promises You rich folks are just from a different world than us regular folks.

Karen... she'll start to see that clearly over time."

"You say 'us regular folks'? Does that... include Dorothy?"
