Everett didn't respond to the message. He just deleted it, opened the window, flicked his lighter with his slender fingers, and lit a cigarette.
After calming down for a bit, he took a shower and returned to the bedroom, cradling the already-asleep Dorothy in his arms.
It seemed like only at these times could he get a sense of reality.
Dorothy was truly his now.
...
The next morning, Dorothy was awakened by her alarm clock.
Since she had to go out with Kevin for due diligence today, she had to go to the office early to prepare all the necessary documents.
She thought she'd definitely wake up earlier than Everett, but when she opened her eyes, he was already up and preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
She stretched her body and shuffled over to him in her slippers. "Everett, sometimes I feel like you never need to sleep."
Everett was frying eggs as he turned his handsome face to glance at her and smile. "I'm used to it. I haven't slept more than six hours since graduation."
"Being a CEO is really tough." Dorothy finally realized how tough Everett really had it.
She used to think that being the one giving orders was the most leisurely job. No one dared to talk back to him in the company, and everyone respected him privately. He had power and influence; he was basically a winner in life.
But after getting to know Everett's private life, she couldn't help but sigh at how difficult his job actually was.
There were so many things he had to consider; every step he took had to be cautious. One wrong move could potentially lead to a huge loss and deal a great blow to his reputation.
"Don't I need to make money to support you and our family?"

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...
