The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 16
After seeing her daughter's tired face, Bella could only heave a long sigh.
"Sorry, it's all my fault. I've dragged you down with me."
She knew she shouldn't always feed her daughter with fears of men. After all, she'd get married someday, but she was scared that her daughter would get hurt again out of foolishness.
"What are you talking about, Mom? After your surgery, the doctor said you might be able to walk again. Promise me you'll make pastas for me then. I miss it."
"Alright." Bella nodded, then suddenly thought of something. "Call your boyfriend over. I want to meet him."
Dorothy was taken aback and quickly averted her gaze to peel an apple. "He's too busy with the company."
"Just like your father back then…"
"Mom." She interrupted softly. "Not everyone is like him."
At least her intuition told her Everett wasn't that type of person.
To Bella, it sounded like her daughter was defending her boyfriend. She immediately frowned and didn't say anything else, but she also didn't take the apple that Dorothy handed over.
Outside, the sky was gradually darkening.
With her mother taken care of, she had to return to work early the next morning. So, after her mother fell asleep, Dorothy left the hospital.
After stepping outside, she took a deep breath before hailing a taxi and heading to Everett's place as he had instructed.
Just as she got off, her phone in her bag started ringing.
It was a number she didn't recognize.
"Are you home?" Everett's deep and magnetic voice was too distinctive to be mistaken.

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...
