At that moment, guilt completely engulfed Dorothy's heart.
She had been too stubborn in the past, fixated on the idea that she must clear her mother's name, without giving much thought to anything else.
As Abigail and Langston grew older and wiser by the day, their understanding of what home meant became increasingly clear.
Was Everett the only one with regrets in his heart?
Dorothy was the one who should feel the most regret! Her children should have been by her side, enjoying a life with their mother. Yet, because she was busy collecting evidence and hiding their whereabouts, she had left Langston abroad and entrusted Abigail to Karen.
Aside from giving birth to them, she had done too little for her children.
Even after Everett took over their care, he had spent more time with them than she had.
Watching Abigail and Langston return to their rooms, Dorothy remained lost in her thoughts, sitting alone on the couch for a long time...
Until she suddenly remembered that Everett had promised to come home today.
That was what Abigail and Langston were most looking forward to.
But Dorothy waited and waited, and there was still no sign of Everett returning.
Seeing that it was nearly bedtime for the kids, she couldn't wait any longer and decided to give Everett a call.
The first call went unanswered.
A bad feeling started to form in her heart, prompting her to call a second time.
Thankfully, Everett picked up this time.
"What's up?"
His voice was cold, just like how he talked to others at work.
Dorothy wasn't used to it, but she understood.
What good mood could Everett possibly be in at this time?
"You... promised Abigail and Langston that you'd come home today. They're waiting for you."
After a pause, Everett replied, "Got held up with work at the office, I'll be back soon."
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Dorothy felt her heart sink.
She knew Everett was lying.
His company account had been offline for quite a while, indicating he wasn't at the office! So, why did he say he was delayed because of work?

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...
