The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1445

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!
