The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1287
Kenneth pursed his lips, a hint of frustration in his voice, "Look, I admire her, okay? She's dedicated to her job and happens to be easy on the eyes. It's only natural I'd take a liking to her, right?"
Lane snapped his fingers, his mood evidently upbeat. "The woman I've got my eye on? She's top-notch! As long as we're not at odds, who's to say we can't be pals?"
"I'm not exactly jumping at the chance to be your buddy," Kenneth replied, causing Lane's previously cheerful expression to darken in an instant.
"So, you're set on leaving?"
Hearing this, Kenneth feigned a troubled sigh, "My folks will start worrying. I've been off the radar for too long!"
To alleviate any concerns, Kenneth had intentionally left all means of communication behind.
"Fair point." Lane's focus had been on Everett for so long, this issue hadn't crossed his mind. "How about you use my phone to check in with your family?"
"..."
"Relax, once Everett's funeral wraps up, I'll get in touch with Dorothy. Then, you'll be free to go."
Lane wasn't keen on letting his makeshift hostage slip away.
With Everett gone, a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
But Quincy's case was still wide open, and investigations could lead their way!
Kenneth was too valuable a pawn for Lane to willingly give up.
"Fine," he said, seemingly with great reluctance, before taking Lane's phone.
However, it was clear Lane had no intention of letting the phone out of his sight, forcing Kenneth to make the call right there and then.
Kenneth was unfazed, dialing Karen's number directly.

Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
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....
