The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Aurora was bone-tired.

It was only after she heard her baby's loud cries that she finally allowed herself a sigh of relief, and then she drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up, she found herself back at Bay Residence.

Seeing her daughter awake, Dorothy immediately came over, filled with concern. "Abigail, how are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?" Aurora shook her head faintly. "Mom, how did I get back..."

"It was your dad's doing! He had the doctors come over to Bay Residence, worried you wouldn't rest well at the hospital."

"The baby..."

"Your little one just fell asleep! Your dad's watching over in the nursery."

Everett had intentionally kept his granddaughter and daughter in separate rooms.

He was concerned that the baby's crying would disturb Aurora's rest.

In Everett's heart, his daughter was always his priority, and he was always the one to think things through the most carefully.

Aurora tried to prop herself up with her elbows, but lacking the strength, she had to lie back down.

"Mom, I want to see the baby."

"Alright! Just wait here, I'll bring her over."

Dorothy hurried to the nursery, and soon after, both she and Everett tiptoed back in.

Seeing his daughter's weary face, Everett's heart ached like nobody else's could.

His handsome face darkened even more, but not wanting to show his feelings in front of his daughter, his expression appeared somewhat peculiar. "Just focus on getting better, leave everything else to me, you don't have to worry about a thing!"

"Dad... I'm sorry, for making you and mom worry."

Aurora hung her head, a face full of guilt.

She didn't feel like she owed her ex-husband Craig anything.

The only shame she felt was causing her parents worry.

"You're my daughter, it's my duty to protect you," Everett didn't think it was a bother at all. "When you and your brother were little, I couldn't always be there. Now that you're grown up, of course, I have to make sure you're well taken care of."

Aurora bit her lip, her eyes involuntarily welling up with tears.

A tear dropped unexpectedly.

"Dad, I... I don't want you to be mad, nor do I want to put Craig in a tough spot."

Even though he really did disappoint her.

But after all, they were once husband and wife, Aurora knew he didn't mean to hurt her.noveldrama

Ending up here today, she thought she was also to blame!

Clearly...

Craig had already distanced himself from her.

He had backed away time and again.

It was she who insisted on provoking him, ignoring the gap between them, forcibly staying together.

If this is the result, how could she blame Craig alone?

"I'm not making things difficult for him, after all, he's the father of my grandchild. As long as he doesn't bother me, it's fine." Everett had no intention of dealing with Craig!

Not because he looked down on his

background or abilities, but because the man had no sense of responsibility! If he couldn't even Chis own wife, what else could be expected of him?

"He still doesn't agree to the divorce?"

Aurora caught the subtext in her father's words.

"Yeah." Everett nodded, his eyebrows furrowing. "But it doesn't matter, we can always go to court if it comes to that."

He was not afraid.

"Don't."

Aurora spoke up to stop him. "Now that he and I share a child, I don't want my child to find out in the future that his parents had an ugly divorce."

"So if he doesn't agree to the divorce, you won't pursue it?"

"Divorce." Her words were unwavering. "I'll talk to him."
