Despite all the material comforts that man had showered on her and her mother, he also ushered in their darkest days. Heather would have rather her father be a garbage collector, a security guard, or even a homeless man, rather than a scumbag like Maxton!
"It's been a while since I've heard from him too."
"Yeah."
After Heather's words, both women fell into a deep silence.
As the end of their meeting time approached, Heather suddenly said, "This is probably the last time we'll see each other, huh?"
"Unless something unexpected happens."
"Do you have a recent photo of Everett on your phone? I want to see him."
She knew asking Everett to visit her in prison was out of the question! But she still desperately wanted to see him.
Dorothy frowned slightly, showing this expression for the first time today. After a moment's hesitation, she pulled out her phone and scrolled to a candid photo she had taken of Everett at work.
Heather immediately leaned in, peering through the glass, looking at the photo over and over again.
"He's lost weight! Why hasn't he been eating properly? Dorothy, please make sure he eats! Everett's a workaholic, he forgets everything when he's busy!"
"Yeah."
"Don't just placate me! You... take good care of him."
After speaking, Heather lowered her head. As Dorothy was about to put her phone away, Heather spoke up again, tapping on the window, "Don't! Let me have one last look, just one more glance!"
That last glance, as if she wished to etch it into her memory forever.

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
