The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1296
Ever since Lane hung up the phone with Dorothy, his spirits were sky-high.
Not only did he have Kenneth whip up a couple extra dishes, he even went out and grabbed a six-pack of beer to celebrate.
"Too bad I can't access my wine collection right now. Would've loved to pop open one of my prized bottles of red to celebrate!"
Lane cracked open a can for himself and offered another to Kenneth.
Kenneth shook his head, declining. "I don't drink."
"On a day like this, how can you not celebrate with a drink? Everett's gone, your biggest enemy is out of the picture, and I'm feeling pretty damn good!" Lane tilted his head back, downing the beer in one go. "Do you have any idea how much I hated that guy? It wasn't just because he took Dorothy from me, but also the personal insults he hurled my way!"
With a flick of his wrists, Lane crushed the empty can, tossing it casually aside.
"I don't enjoy alcohol, and I don't need it to celebrate."
Initially, when Kenneth realized Dorothy would never fall for him, he too had tried to drown his sorrows in alcohol, attempting to escape reality.
But alcohol's effects are fleeting, and reality remains unchanged.
"Boring!" Lane scoffed but didn't press any further, taking the can he had opened for Kenneth and continued drinking.
One reason Kenneth refrained from drinking was the fear of getting drunk and spilling secrets that could jeopardize his chance of obtaining the antidote for Dorothy.
"You've been in touch with Dorothy?" Kenneth noted Lane's particularly good mood, even better than when he'd learned of Everett's "death," and guessed he must have heard from Dorothy and conveyed his threats to her.
And Dorothy's reaction must have pleased him.

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....
