The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 167
After much sweet talking and persuading, Heather and Jonathan finally managed to calm Amanda down, and her blood pressure and pulse readings on the monitor were no longer in the danger zone.
Heather finally stepped out after Amanda fell asleep.
Looking up at the corridor, she saw Everett puffing away on a cigarette around the corner.
He was so tall that he blocked half the moonlight coming in from the window; his shadow stretched out long and thin.
Taking a deep breath, Heather made her way towards him.
"Believe it or not, I genuinely care for Amanda. If you're not willing to marry me, I won't force you. But you've seen Amanda's condition. If you keep being stubborn like this, even the doctors can't do miracles."
Everett paused, turned his face slightly, and gave her a sidelong glance. "Don't try to persuade me."
"I know it's pointless, so I'm just giving you a suggestion."
Seeing that he had no reaction, Heather continued, "The doctor said your mom can't be stressed. Right now you don't want to leave Dorothy, so the only option is for me to play along. We'll pretend to be together."
"I'm not interested."
"You will be! Amanda made it this time, but what about next time? Think about it." Heather lowered her eyelashes, her voice filled with self-mockery, "I don't want to demean myself like this. I have my pride too! But I'm willing to play this along for Amanda. Whatever you do with Dorothy in private is none of my business. I won't interfere."
Everett didn't respond. He just crushed the butt of his cigarette.
Ignoring Heather, he was about to head back to the room.
She yelled behind his back, "If you agree, I'll take the blame for this. I'll let Dorothy keep her job in the investment bank. I'll admit it was my fault and apologize to her in public."
Everett paused briefly, but didn't turn around.
"You should apologize to her from the beginning. You owe her that." He said.
"You..." Heather was almost hysterical, "you never believed me, did you?"

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...
