"Sorry, I might as well be scraping the bottom of the barrel with that line."
Others might not get it, but Kenneth knew all too well.
If he ever had the chance, he'd say the same to Dorothy without batting an eye.
Sadly, he didn't even have the right to say those words out loud.
"Eleanor, please don't let me hold you back anymore."
"Is that your way of rejecting me?" Eleanor insisted on digging deeper.
All she got in return was Kenneth's silence.
She took a deep breath, then chuckled, "I find myself quite amusing. You've been pushing me away, yet here I am, asking to hear your rejection."
"Eleanor, you're a great girl."
"Save the nice guy act." She paused for a few seconds, "I've transferred $30,000 into your account. Consider it a small compensation for the accident you got into because of me. I know your family isn't hurting for money, but this is purely to ease my own guilt! From now on, I won't bother you anymore."
"I don't want your money!"
Kenneth's protest was cut short as Eleanor hung up.
He checked his messages and sure enough, there was a $30,000 deposit...
He called the bank, trying to send the money back, but customer service informed him the account had already been closed!
Kenneth tried reaching out to Eleanor again, only to find her phone was off.
His messages went unanswered.
"Why do you feel guilty... It should be me..."
In his attempt to get Dorothy to drop her reservations and reach out, he had involved Eleanor.
Now, after everything, he still couldn't forget Dorothy, and he felt indebted.

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...
