The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1418

Jeffrey was completely blindsided by the question, it took him a moment to realize that his wife was dead serious.

He cleared his throat, his tone earnest as he began, “Look, babe, I honestly have no clue what Everett has been up to lately, but I promise you! He would never, ever do anything to hurt Dorothy.”

Now, Jeffrey couldn't vouch for everything, but when it came to Everett, there was no room for doubt.

Karen rolled her eyes, “It’s just this period I’m worried about!”

“Come on, think about it. How many years did Dorothy leave Everett? Did he ever look at another woman?”

“…”

“If Everett couldn’t handle a bit of loneliness, how in the world did he wait for Dorothy all those years?” Jeffrey raised his hand, patting Karen on the shoulder, “I know you care about Dorothy, don’t want her getting the short end of the stick! But now, with Dorothy by Everett’s side, him being her knight in shining armor, even if someone wanted to mess with her, they'd have a hard time!”

Hearing this, Karen did feel a bit more at ease.

But the curiosity was still there.

“So, what’s with Everett being all mysterious?”

Jeffrey threw up his hands, swearing honesty, “Honey, you’ve seen how swamped I’ve been! Everett’s been throwing new tasks at me every day, I barely have time to breathe, let alone chat!”

Lately, he felt like he was practically living at the office!

Back when Everett was busy, it’d be a day or two, tops, and Kevin was around so Jeffrey would only be tied up for a half-day or so.

Now, it’s a whole different story…

He was on track to receive the Employee of the Month at Lopez Corporation!
