Jeffrey was dumbfounded by his statement.
Was he... actually communicating with a little kid?
"You intercepted the number?"
"Yup! Waiting for you guys to rescue me was taking too long." Langston's response was remarkably nonchalant, devoid of any boastful sentiment. It was as though he was discussing something as mundane as the weather.
This made Jeffrey a country bumpkin!
"Then you should give me the number."
Langston glanced at him and suddenly shook his head, "I can't just give it to you. You couldn't even find me. I had to come out myself!"
Jeffrey was left speechless.
"We can make a trade," Langston squinted, grinning in a way that was a mirror image of Everett. The only difference was that Everett hardly ever smiled. "I want to use your work computer, is that okay?"
Jeffrey didn't understand what Langston intended to do, but considering his extraordinary abilities, he decided to stay on guard.
"There are a lot of important things on my computer; it's not a toy."
"I'm not asking for it. We're trading! You want the number, and I want your computer."
Jeffrey was shocked by the proposition.
There seemed to be some logic in the boy's argument!
"Then tell me, what are you planning to do with my computer?"
"What can I do? Of course, I want to contact my family." Langston knew that Jeffrey was not easily fooled, so he decided to play his trump card. He blinked innocently, posing a question in a naive voice, "What did you think I was going to do? Did you think I would steal your computer?"
"No, no, the computer isn't worth much. I could even give it to you!"
"Really? Well, thank you, Mr. Turner!"
Jeffrey rolled his eyes, sensing that something was off about the conversation, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Just as they were talking, Everett's car pulled up.

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...
