Kenneth hesitated for a moment, but understanding Dorothy's predicament, he agreed.
"Alright then. I'll use my driver's license to get you a room, then I'll go crash at a buddy's place. This way, there will be no trace of you."
"Okay, thank you, Kenneth."
"Don't mention it. I don't want to hear about it."
After hanging up, Dorothy stared at her phone, feeling a heavy weight in her heart.
She should've set boundaries with Kenneth the moment she decided not to accept his proposal. But now she still needed his help.
Sometimes, Dorothy felt guilty. She could not ignore the reproach of her conscience.
Wasn’t she just leading him on?
...
After Everett and Jeffrey met, Jeffrey had already scoured all potential surveillance cameras in the vicinity.
However, the person who took the child seemed to be prepared. He was fully equipped when he came to the hotel and purposely avoided the surveillance cameras when leaving with the child.
As a result, they ended up with nothing.
"Everett, do you think it's possible that this person is trying to use the child to blackmail you?" Jeffrey asked.
Everett looked at Jeffrey with his brows furrowed.
"No one has contacted me for now."
"Maybe it's not time yet."
"What's your definition of 'the right time'?" Everett shot back. "If the child is as tall as you say, he must be about five or six years old. During that time, I hadn't divorced Dorothy yet. So, is the child Dorothy's?"
Jeffrey shook his head with certainty.
"No, it's not hers!" She had a daughter, not a son, so it wasn’t her child.

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...
