The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1170

"Are we still getting a divorce?"

Jeffrey had just placed a completely exhausted figure into the bathtub, and by the time he joined in, the water had nearly spilled over the edge!

Now, with the water, it was even easier for him to exert more force, each move stronger than the last.

At first, Karen managed to keep up her tough facade with sheer determination, "Divorce! If you're capable, make sure I never leave this place!"

"Fine! Then prepare to never get out of bed again!"

And then?

Eventually, the will to survive made Karen relent.

Tears streaming down her face, she clutched at Jeffrey's arm, "Enough, enough! Let me go..."

"Still want a divorce? Still heading to the city hall?"

Sweat trickled down Jeffrey's forehead, which he wiped away with the back of his hand, yet he didn't back down.

Without an answer, he was ready to go all in!

"No, no more divorce..."

Karen was too tired to even wipe her tears.

If this continued, she feared they might actually end up dead here.

What's that saying? A smart fighter knows when to back down. After all, there's always tomorrow.

Once he got the answer he wanted, Jeffrey finally relaxed, collapsing on top of Karen to catch his breath.

"Wouldn't it have been easier if you just agreed sooner?"

"Despicable!"

"Not in the mood for sleep?"

Karen immediately shut up, throwing a tantrum like a child, "Carry me back to bed, I want to sleep!"

"Alright, let's sleep."

Jeffrey sighed, the heavy feeling in his heart finally easing.

Everything should be fine now, right?

...

Fortunately, Everett had canceled some work, so he drove back to Bay Residence with Dorothy.

Seeing her look for a company location, Everett grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down an address, handing it to her, "Here, it's a good spot."

Dorothy took it, surprised, "Valleyton Plaza? That won't work! My company is just starting, we don't have much capital, need to save where we can! I want to allocate more resources to hiring, the location... well, for an investment firm, it doesn't really matter where we are."

"That's not true," Everett pulled her onto his lap, "If your company is in a prime location, potential partners will have a good first impression of your business."

Dorothy had never been in a leadership position before, so her lack of knowledge was understandable.

"But this place..."

"This is my property, use it as you please, it won't affect your company's expenses."
