The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 244

The anticipated reprimand didn't come.

To be exact, there was no sound at all from the other end of the line.

It was clear that this wasn’t what Mr. Lopez wanted to hear. The normally fast-paced, no-nonsense man was, strangely enough, evading the issue.

Kevin didn't say anything else. He just waited patiently for his boss to respond.

After a long while.

In a light and tense voice that made it seem more like he was asking himself, he said, "Do you believe she doesn't love me?"

"Yes." Kevin couldn’t sugarcoat this. "I believe if Ms. Sanchez had even a shred of feelings for you, she couldn't have been so cold-hearted. She couldn't just leave so decisively. You should stop looking, Mr. Lopez. You won’t find someone who's deliberately hiding."

The other end of the line fell silent again.

Kevin gritted his teeth and prepared for the worst. "Besides, what if you found her now, only to discover her and Kenneth in a blissful relationship? Could you bear that?”

He really didn't understand why Mr. Lopez still wanted to find her. Was it just to finally crush his own hopes?

Finally, there was a rustling from the other end, but nothing was said, and then he hung up.

What he didn't know was that after hearing this, Everett felt like this call was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

It turned out that youthful dreams couldn't be forced.

Everett had thought he and Dorothy could end up together. All he had to do was slow down a bit, pay more attention, and be more careful.

If everything went smoothly, they would have fallen in love sooner.

If not, then they would fall in love later.

But reality slapped him hard in the face. It was so hard and so painful that he had no courage to get back up.

He sat in the car as his gaze drifted out the window, watching as the world passed him by bit by bit.

After a while, Everett pulled out his phone and sent a message to Dorothy's contact.

Almost immediately, the screen displayed a message that he had been deleted by her.

He really didn't want to deal with the women who constantly threw themselves at him. He didn’t care for any woman other than Dorothy.

And it gave him an easy way out.

He had thought that Dorothy would care when he announced his wedding, even if it was just a little.

But it turned out to be a calm storm.

He didn't believe Dorothy wouldn't know about this. The news had been out for several days back home. Everyone in the business circle knew it.

Even his mother, who had been in Elysian Country, knew it.

Since Dorothy knew and made no move, it must have meant nothing to her.

He put down his phone.

"Find a place that does tattoo removal." He coldly said to the driver.
