The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1228

Quincy didn't dare to interrupt him, merely edged a bit closer in silence.

Everett, standing there alone, was already quite the sight. Add to that the presence of a softly appealing young woman by his side, and passersby couldn't help turning their heads, wondering if they'd stumbled onto a TV show set, though no cameras were in sight.

As Quincy drew nearer, she eventually made out that Everett seemed to be on the phone with his father, discussing something about marriage.

Her cheeks flushed a shade of pink, a hint of shyness in her demeanor.

"Is it Jonathan on the phone?"

"Yeah." Everett gave her a fleeting glance, his expression unreadable, "Asking about the progress."

"Progress on the marriage?"

He started walking towards the hotel, his voice as calm as ever, "What else?"

Quincy paused for a moment before hurrying to keep up with his stride.

Once in the room, Everett casually took a seat on the couch, elegantly crossing his legs, and fiddled with his tie before looking up at her.

"Aren't you familiar with the drill? Blindfold yourself."

Following his gaze, Quincy noticed the cloth on the table meant for covering her eyes.

She had thought that Everett preferred the blindfold only the first time for some novelty, but it seemed the initial step was still to be blindfolded?

"Mr. Lopez, I... I'm a bit scared of the dark, can we skip it this time?" she attempted to negotiate.

Because Quincy wanted to witness the look of utter abandon on Everett's face as he lost himself in the moment with her.

She didn’t want to spend all their intimate moments in darkness, missing the connection.

"Sure," Everett agreed promptly.

But before Quincy could even revel in his consent, she saw him stand up, intending to leave the room.

"Mr. Lopez?"

"You're not in the mood today?"

"Mr. Lopez, please don’t go! I was just asking."

"I told you, I'd rather not discuss this."

Everett remained firm.

Just as Quincy was about to give up, he suddenly broached the subject himself.

"I have a unique psychological condition. If my partner isn’t blindfolded, I feel... nothing."

"..."

Quincy never expected it to be a situation like this!

Recalling what Dorothy had mentioned before, and considering some of Everett's peculiar habits, this reason seemed somewhat acceptable,

Reasonable, even.

"Don’t go, I’ll wear the blindfold." She bit her lower lip, "I’ll try to accommodate you as best as I can. If there’s anything you’re unhappy with, Mr. Lopez, please speak up! Moving forward... we're going to be family. There's no need to hide anything."
