"Mr. Lopez, I know you're trying to help me, but you can stop. I can handle this myself."
Everett found the 'Mr. Lopez' she uttered quite unsettling.
"Dorothy, we're a couple."
Dorothy did not respond.
Now that she was silent, Everett didn't know what to say. He felt a mixture of emotions.
They stared at each other for a long time, neither of them looking away.
Finally, Dorothy spoke, "Everett, the gap between us is just too big."
"I'm willing to meet you halfway." Everett said.
Dorothy shook her head. "Do you really think you can just up and leave your parents for me?"
Everett pressed his lips together. He was about to speak, but ultimately, he said nothing.
Suddenly, Dorothy's phone rang.
After looking down, she saw that it was her mom.
She immediately picked up, and Bella's voice came through. "Didn't you say the man you registered your marriage with was named Kenneth? Then why did Everett's mother come to me today, telling me to keep my daughter away from her son?"
Dorothy's heart sank.
"Mom..."
"Get over here now."
With that, Bella hung up, not giving her any room for discussion.
Dorothy quickly left Everett. Her face changed as soon as she stood up to leave.
Everett, realizing what was happening, quickly followed. "I'll go with you."
She looked up at him and said, "Your mom went to the hospital to see my mom."
Everett was speechless.

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...
