"That's great, Kenneth, I'm genuinely happy for you."
Of course, Dorothy didn't want to see Kenneth hobbling around for the rest of his life. He was such a proud man, accomplished too. Who would want to see him disabled?
"Looks like you haven't been eating well lately, lost your appetite?"
"Maybe, work's been hectic."
"No matter how busy work gets, you can't skip meals! If you lose any more weight, you're going to start looking gaunt."
Dorothy chuckled, "Well, gaunt it is then."
Did she even care about her looks anymore?
Kenneth's gaze lingered on Dorothy, and after a long moment, he sighed.
"Dorothy, you're still trying to act tough."
Startled, Dorothy didn't respond.
"Fighting with Everett? Or is he... not treating you right?"
"No, we're good," she quickly replied, fearing Kenneth might probe further.
But Dorothy underestimated how well Kenneth knew her.
After all, how could she hide anything from the man who had his heart set on her?
"Don't lie to me. The more you do, the more I worry. Just be honest with me." Kenneth's voice grew heavier, and his eyes fell, "In fact, when Jeffrey deliberately mentioned you in front of me, I knew something was off because he usually wouldn't bring you up."
"..."
"He thinks he's being sly, but not only me, Karen can see through him too! Still, we're clueless about what exactly happened between you two."
Dorothy quickly said, "It's nothing, really. Just a little argument, and it's all good now."
"You're definitely not okay."
"..."

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...
