The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 378

Dorothy instinctively glanced in the direction he pointed.

Sure enough, Kenneth stood not far away, phone in hand, smiling at her. "Over here!"

Seeing Kenneth's figure, Dorothy's heart was filled with indescribable emotions.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched at all, but this kind of emotion felt more like familial affection, unrelated to romance.

Many times, Dorothy had thought, if she hadn't met Everett first, but had been paired up with Kenneth through Karen's matchmaking, she'd most likely be committed to living a life with him!

But all these assumptions were based on the condition that Everett didn't exist.

Dorothy stood up, slowly walking towards him, "Kenneth, why haven't you left?"

"I just couldn't bear the thought of you being alone in Eldorria City, so I had my friend take Karen and the kids and leave first! You don’t have to worry, because the friend who is driving them is an old classmate of mine; they’ll be safe and he won’t betray us."

Dorothy wasn’t concerned about that, but…

"You just stood here waiting?"

"I stayed primarily to be with you." Kenneth spoke without a hint of complaint, his voice gentle and warm, "Are you done now? Let's go."

Dorothy nodded, following Kenneth.

The wind was getting stronger, and rain seemed imminent, specially in the summer, when rain came without notice.

"Shall we find a place to stay first, and continue our journey tomorrow morning?" Dorothy suggested.

Kenneth paused, then turned around smiling, "Sounds good! You don’t seem to be in the best mood today; it would be perfect to find a hotel, take a nice bath, get a good sleep, and then we can hit the road when you wake up naturally! And don’t worry about the kids; they love Karen and will be obedient."

Dorothy merely nodded, managing a forced smile.
