The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1206

Shake off those thoughts, Quincy thought as the car neared the hospital.

She made her way straight to the agreed-upon doctor's office and knocked on the door.

Dr. Quincy knew well - a former college buddy who'd spent years abroad before recently returning to start her practice.

"Quincy! It's been ages, and look at you, more beautiful than ever. There's this grace about you that just shines through."

That had always been Quincy’s way.

Her smile was serene and gentle, as if she was eternally untouched by the harshness of the world.

"Oh, stop it..." Flustered by the compliment, Quincy took a seat, "I'm here to get a check-up, we're planning on starting a family."

The doctor nodded, inevitably curious, "Did you come alone? Where's your husband?"

Planning for a baby usually meant she was married.

"He's...he's swamped with work! And, well, we're not married yet, but it's happening soon. I asked him to come, but it felt awkward."

The doctor chuckled, "Landing a gorgeous wife like you, your fiancé is one lucky man!"

"Not at all, he's pretty remarkable himself."

Hastily, Quincy pulled out her phone to show a sneaky snapshot she'd taken of Everett.

"This is him."

Taking the phone, the doctor admired the photo, "Wow, he's handsome! Looks like a movie star. You two are quite the pair!"

"He's not a celebrity." Quincy wanted to elaborate on Everett's status but decided against it, fearing it might lead to future requests for favors, "He's in business."

"You’re blushing! You've got that newlywed glow."

"We have to tie the knot at some point, I can't stay single forever."

"That's true."

"Your phone."

"Let me check."

Everett dimmed his phone to avoid disturbing others.

Reading the message, his brow furrowed in disgust.

Dorothy, peeking over, smirked instead.

It wasn’t until the movie ended and they were leaving the theater that Everett confronted her, "You see another woman trying to seduce me and you laugh instead of getting jealous?"

"Well, it's not like you're actually going to sleep with her, why should I be jealous?"

"You should be jealous! It means you care."

Dorothy quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, I'm jealous! Everett, are you seriously going through with this plan?"
