"Lane, imagine this. A little boy shows up out of the blue, claiming to be your son. You get a DNA test, and, lo and behold, he's yours. How'd you react?"
Definitely baffled.
He'd been with more women than he could count, some whose names he couldn't even remember. He couldn't be one hundred percent certain that none of them had ulterior motives.
"But hasn't Everett always been a saint? Can he be compared to me?" Lane chuckled. "Who knows? Maybe he's got a wilder side than both of us combined."
"That's impossible! Ever since he broke up with Dorothy, he's practically been living at the office. He’s always online on the company software."
"Does that necessarily mean he couldn't have done it?"
Jeffrey raised his voice. "Hey! Why do I get the feeling you've got a beef with Everett?"
Even this oblivious man, Jeffrey, could sense it.
"I'm just stating the facts." Lane smiled. "Alright, let me know if the kid turns out to be his son. I could use a popcorn moment."
"Screw you!" Jeffrey said, then hung up.
He was about to call Everett when Heather started bombarding him with calls, like a woman possessed.
Jeffrey didn't want to answer, but he accidentally did.
Heather's anxious voice came through. "Where are you? I... I think I'm having a heart attack..."
"What?" Jeffrey was taken aback. "Since when do you have heart disease?"
"Never mind that now. Can you come pick me up and take me to the hospital?"
Jeffrey wanted to agree, but the kid was still sleeping. Should he wake him up now?
"Jeffrey... are you going to abandon me too?" Heather added. Her voice sounded genuinely distressed, as if she could faint any second.

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...
