The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 231

Upon hearing Dorothy's name, Everett spun around, and his long legs carried him swiftly across the room.

He was still holding on, still doubting that what was going on wasn’t the truth.

What had happened that day to make Dorothy change her attitude? Why did she change her mind so suddenly?

It was all too bizarre and abrupt.

While looking at the papers in his hand, Everett’s handsome face darkened. "Dorothy's mother was picked up by Kenneth's people?"

"Yeah. That's what the hospital's investigator told me." Kevin continued, "They even showed me some footage of Dorothy's mother in the hospital's back garden. Kenneth was with her, and they seemed... happy. It looked like Dorothy's mom was quite taken with him."

Everett's hand clenched in anger, crumpling the papers into a ball.

"So, she didn't lie to me."

"It seems so."

Although Kevin wanted to uncover something that could bring back Mr. Lopez's smile, he couldn't just fabricate the investigation's results. He had to tell the truth.

"Mr. Lopez, I think Ms. Sanchez isn't that type of person." Kevin found it strange too.

From Dorothy and Mr. Lopez's interactions, it wasn’t hard to see that there were true feelings between them. Dorothy might have been a bit slow, but once they were honest with each other, she began being sweet and lovely to Everett.

How could this happen overnight?

"Perhaps she is really tired."

"Mr. Lopez, shall I talk to Ms. Sanchez?" Kevin always found Dorothy easy to deal with, and he had done his best to help her in her career, so he thought he could do something to get to the bottom of this.

"No. It's her decision. I just want to make sure she's not being manipulated. As long as she truly wants to leave, I won't hold her back."

Even if it hurt, he didn’t want Dorothy to be in a place where she didn't feel comfortable.

In the end, all Kevin could do was sigh. He thought they would be the envy of everyone around them.

Dorothy bent down to tidy up the shoe cabinet, placing the slippers at the door. As she was about to stand up, she suddenly felt a shadow looming over her.

Startled, she stepped back.

After looking up, she saw that it was Everett.

How could he be home?

"You thought I'd be at the office today, didn’t you?" Everett's voice was hoarse.

It seemed like the gastric bleeding incident had taken a toll on him, and he still hadn’t fully recovered. His refined, handsome face was visibly tired.

"Yes, I came to get my stuff."

"Is he waiting for you outside?"
