The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1443

At their daughter's one-month celebration, Everett threw only a modest party.

He reasoned that a large crowd might increase the chance of germs, potentially putting their precious little girl at risk of falling ill.

"I'm feeling much better now, just a bit cooped up. I'd love some fresh air."

"Give me a sec," he replied, about to hand the baby over to the nanny. "I'll join you in a jiffy."

But before he could do so, Karen chimed in, "Auntie Karen's right here with Dorothy, Mr. Lopez. You go on and sort things out with Jeffrey. We'll have a good old catch-up."

He hesitated, stealing a glance at Dorothy. Only after seeing her nod did Everett softly add, "If anything feels off, come get me straight away."

"Don't you worry!"

Watching Everett check over his shoulder as he left, Karen couldn't help but laugh. "Who would've thought? The once aloof and lofty Mr. Lopez is now completely transformed! Is this what they call... character development?"

Everyone knew of Everett's chilly demeanor - infamous, except when it came to Dorothy.

"Ha! Absolutely," Dorothy chuckled, agreeing. "Remember how I used to be petrified of just speaking to him?"

Karen smirked. "Not just you. The entire Lopez Corporation walked on eggshells around him. Cross the boss, and you'd be in a world of trouble."

"Oh, by the way," Karen's curiosity piqued, "Tonight, with both you and the baby celebrating a month... Mr. Lopez must be planning to strut his stuff, huh?"

Dorothy blushed, caught off guard by the sudden shift in topic. "He... well, he's managed to... cope on his own in the shower, so I doubt it..."
