God knows how Everett managed to grit his teeth and get through these past few months!
Today, finally free from restrictions, if he had to endure any longer, he was afraid he might actually lose his mind.
Even Everett said so, his eyes even pleading, how could Dorothy find it in herself to refuse?
"Then... then take it easy, don't rush, give me a chance to catch my breath."
"Sure!" He agreed in an instant, thought for a moment, and then cleared his throat, "I'll try my best."
...
The next day, Dorothy slept till noon!
By then, the breakfast Everett had prepared in the diner had totally gone cold.
She sat up in bed, feeling more than just sore and achy! Even trying to slip on her slippers and get out of bed, she nearly stumbled and fell.
It took Dorothy, getting washed up and dressed, some time to feel somewhat better.
Stepping out of the bedroom, in the living room, the nanny was holding the baby, making her laugh.
Seeing Dorothy, the nanny smiled and approached, "Mrs. Lopez, you're awake."
This title, she found it awkward no matter how many times she heard it!
Dorothy gently said to the nanny, "Betty, please, just call me Dorothy. This Mrs. Lopez title makes me feel like some sort of nouveau riche!"
"But, I couldn't possibly, you're the employer..." The nanny, accustomed to dealing with high society, naturally understood these formalities.
The wealthy folks, after all, liked these titles, as a sign of their status!
"It's okay! I don't feel any superiority." Dorothy took her daughter, gently touching her little face, "Where's the father?"
"Mr. Lopez left early in the morning, the breakfast on the table was even made by him, should I warm it up for you?"
"That would be great, thank you."
The nanny hurriedly waved her off, "It's my job, Mr. Lopez pays me well, it's the least I can do!"
As she went to heat the breakfast, Dorothy sat on the couch with her daughter.
She checked her phone and surprisingly, there were no messages from Everett!

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...
