Kenneth's stubbornness in matters of the heart was no less intense than Everett's.
Otherwise, they wouldn't find themselves in this mess today.
Unable to contain himself any longer, Everett strode forward, pulling Dorothy into his arms protectively.
"It doesn't hurt."
Dorothy didn't need to look up to know Everett had come for her.
This man, he could never stand to see her in the slightest bit of pain.
"Your face is all flushed, and you're telling me it doesn't hurt?"
"It's just a bit red, nothing compared to losing a life like Kenneth did."
Everett disliked her pessimistic tone.
Dorothy had been battling depression, and it was unpredictable when she might spiral again.
"Don't you realize why Kenneth died?"
"…"
"If he saw you now, wallowing in sadness and not valuing the life he sacrificed his own for, wouldn't his death be in vain?"
Dorothy's lips quivered, unable to form words.
"You can grieve, but there's a limit."
After a moment, she slowly nodded.
"Yeah."
She couldn't let Kenneth's sacrifice be for nothing.
...
Kenneth's ashes were laid to rest next to Bella's in adjoining plots.
Dorothy had thought about it but hesitated because of Everett. To her surprise, it was he who suggested it first.
Not only that, but Everett went as far as to purchase the entire hillside, ensuring they could rest undisturbed.

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...
