The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1644

Craig had never been good at expressing himself.

But how could one remain unmoved hearing Aurora speak like that?

"Aurora, I'm afraid you'll regret this."

Especially if she came to regret their difference in social standing later on, he wouldn't even have a reason to ask her to stay.

All he could do was let her go, no matter how reluctant he felt.

"If I were going to have regrets, I'd call off the wedding right now, not sit here holding your hand," she said, reaching out to grasp Craig's hand. "I've always believed that you just haven't had your break yet. In the future, you're going to make something great of yourself! But don't feel pressured by this; no matter what, you're my husband and the father of my children."

He looked at Aurora for a long moment, then slowly nodded. "Yeah."

"Let's have a good meal and a good rest today. Tomorrow's our big day, and I need my groom to be on top form!"

...

Night fell on Bay Residence.

Tomorrow was their daughter's wedding day, and Dorothy had cleared her schedule in advance to prepare.

The fact that Abigail was marrying the man she loved filled Dorothy with joy.

"Which should I wear, this dress or the cocktail dress?" Dorothy asked, caught in her typical indecision. She held up two outfits in front of Everett, hoping for his help in choosing.

Everett, sitting on the couch and setting aside his book to look up at his wife, replied, "The cocktail dress."

"Why?"

"It's more conservative."

"..."

Dorothy shot him a look but ultimately chose the cocktail dress after comparing them in the mirror.

Everett came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, sighing, "Just like that, Abigail's getting married."

"Yeah! If Langston and Felicity hadn't had their fallout, we'd be celebrating two happy occasions this year."

After so many years together, she instantly understood what Everett meant.

Grinning, she hugged him back, "Of course! I want to know what it's like to have a secret crush too. But let me be clear, if I write you a love letter and you don't respond, I might just find someone else to crush on."

"…You wouldn't dare?"

Dorothy shrugged, "Why not? In the next life, you wouldn't have fallen for me first, so even if I did find someone else, you wouldn't care!"

Everett frowned in thought, finding some logic in her words.

"Then forget it, I'll be the one to fall for you first."

That way, he could keep an eye out and chase away any unwelcome suitors from Dorothy's side!

Seeing him like this, Dorothy couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Lopez, haven't you had enough of being lovesick this lifetime?"

"Never! If being lovesick means having kids, love, and a life like this, then who wouldn't want to be?"
