The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1207

She still felt it was a bit off.

It felt somewhat wrong, a tad unscrupulous.

"Look, you insisted on knowing everything. Now that you know, you worry about this and that! Let me tell you, whatever happens to Quincy, she had it coming!"

"You're not wrong." Dorothy wanted to say more, but ended up sighing, "When you think about it, she and Heather Garcia were just after the same thing - you!"

Everett playfully tapped her on the head.

"I'm yours, who else do you want to have me?"

Dorothy smiled, linking her arm through his, "You don't need to keep reminding me, I know you're mine."

After all they'd been through, she knew he'd chosen her for life.

Kevin's routine was now working by day and looking after kids by evening.

Mr. Lopez was all lovey-dovey, leaving Kevin with an extra part-time job.

"Kevin, the strawberry candies in your pocket are so tasty! I love them!" Abigail rummaged through his suit pocket, eventually taking all the strawberry candies.

Kevin tried to grab some back but, looking into Abigail's big, twinkling eyes, he couldn't bear to.

"My little tyrant, you can't eat them all! I bought four bags of candies today."

If she ate them all in one go, Ms. Sanchez would probably fire him from his childcare gig tomorrow!

"Don't worry, Kevin!" Abigail divided the candies into two portions, pointing out, "These, I'll eat before dinner tonight!"

"Good girl!"

"And these, after dinner."

Kevin paused, then chuckled wryly.

"So you're planning to finish them all today?"

When Everett and Dorothy returned, Kevin was playing rock-paper-scissors with Abigail, who had to give him a candy if she lost.

He couldn't very well just snatch the candies away; he had to outwit her openly.

"Mr. Lopez, you're back!" Kevin quickly stood up upon seeing them.

Dorothy, seeing Abigail hastily trying to hide her candies, said helplessly, "You've got cavities, you can't eat more candies!"

"I haven't, mommy, I didn't eat any!" Abigail pointed at Kevin, "Kevin can vouch for me!"

"…Ah, yes, I vouch for the young miss."

Dorothy, seeing Kevin's resigned look, couldn't help but laugh.

"We've discussed it, and starting next month, we're doubling your salary for all the extra work."

"I wouldn't have much to do back home anyway. Staying here, looking after Abigail and Langston, it's actually quite fun!" Kevin looked at Mr. Lopez, whispering, "Mr. Lopez, Langston just built a simple app for me. It's going to make project calculations so much easier! It's amazing, the kid's a genius. Those genetics are something else!"
