"We...we didn't...we're not..."
Dorothy was all choked up. Her tears fell uncontrollably, one after another.
She didn’t expect… She really didn’t expect...
It turned out that someone had been silently protecting her since her junior high years. In those days, she always thought she was unloved.
"Huh? You didn't end up together?" the owner looked puzzled. "But he was here a year ago. He helped us stay in business, left a phone number, and said to call him if we ever needed financial support."
She had assumed that they were already a couple.
"Ma'am, can I have this photo?"
"Of course! You better hurry back to this young man. He loves you so much, so don't let him down. There aren't many men out there who are as thoughtful and caring as he is. Don't let him slip away."
Dorothy raised her head. Her lips were quivering before she managed to say, "Ma'am, if he comes back, could you not tell him I was here?"
"Why?"
"There are some reasons we can't be together. I want him to forget about me and move on."
The owner frowned. She was utterly puzzled. "What reasons could possibly keep you two apart? As long as there's mutual affection, there's nothing you can't overcome. Look at me and my husband; we argue every day, complain about the mundane things in life, and even threaten each other with divorce, but we're still together after all these years."
Dorothy lowered her gaze and shook her head.
"Our issues can't be resolved. And he's already married."
She wished there were just petty quarrels. She’d be thrilled if they were just trivial matters of life.
"What a shame! You two seemed perfect for each other," sighed the owner as she got up to serve Dorothy her meal.
This was probably the most emotionally complicated meal Dorothy had ever had.

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...
