The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1010

\"What did Ephraim want?\" Everett casually took her hand in his as they walked.

Dorothy gave a light laugh, \"Nothing much, just mentioned that the second trial for the case might be delayed.\"

She didn't want to burden Everett further; he already had enough on his plate.

\"The reason?\"

\"I'm not sure.\"

Everett's eyes flickered briefly but he didn't comment further. \"Let's go back for dinner.\"

In the restaurant's private dining room, Jeffrey was being particularly attentive to Karen. He kept asking if she wanted to try this dish or that, if she was too cold or too hot. Even Everett frowned at the sight.

Dorothy quietly shared the incident from the car ride with him, which finally brought a smile to Everett's lips.

\"Jeffrey liking Heather and not even telling me about it.\"\n

He might have played matchmaker for them, had he known.

\"After all, I never had any romantic interest in Heather from the start.\"

\"And what did Jeffrey say? Knowing well that Heather has had eyes only for you.\"

Everett looked at her, \"Are you jealous?\"

\"Not at all. But I didn't expect Heather to be so deeply in love with you.\"

Honestly, after getting out of prison, Dorothy felt... as if she had indeed stolen Heather's love.

\"What if I wasn't here...\"
