The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 374

And then he abruptly ended the call, as if he was terrified of hearing any more harsh words from Dorothy.

But wasn't the one who uttered harsh words also suffering?

Dorothy clenched her phone and closed her eyes, only to find that tears had unconsciously trickled down from the corners of her eyes.

She didn't even know when she had started crying.

The wind at the street corner still blew fiercely. The teardrops either fell on the back of her hand or on the hem of her clothes. Dorothy didn't dare to cry out loud.

Hurting Everett was the last thing she wanted to do.

But she had no other choice.

To protect her children from harm, to uncover the truth, she had to lie low and make sacrifices.

When Jeffrey received a call from Everett, he was still searching for the kid. He genuinely liked that child!

"Hello?"

"Let's get a drink."

Jeffrey was taken aback, "Did I hear you right? You said, let's get a drink?!"

"You coming or not?"

"Sure!"

Without a second thought, he knew that his buddy must have been hurt by Dorothy again! In all the years he'd known him, only matters concerning Dorothy could cause him such emotional turmoil.

After heaving a sigh, he rushed to the bar after handling his affairs.

Because Everett wasn't fond of crowded places, he had reserved the entire bar for the night. The music was still playing, the lights were still on, the drinks were still there, but aside from him sitting on the couch, there was no one else.

Jeffrey strode over and rolled his eyes as he sat down.

"Buddy, you seem to have a misunderstanding about drowning your sorrows in alcohol. You've cleared out all the girls in the bar, then where's the fun in that?"
