Everett's voice carried a hint of defeat, a stark contrast to his usual assertive demeanor. Seeing him this way, Langston couldn't help but feel a pang of discomfort. After a moment's thought, he reached out his small hand and gently wrapped his fingers around his.
Everett suddenly looked up, locking eyes with him.
What did this gesture mean? It was an acknowledgment of the words he had just said.
As Everett began to speak, his throat tightened, his voice quivering with emotion. "She... she's really your mom, isn't she?"
Langston instinctively wanted to feign ignorance, but after spending these past days together, he knew all too well that his so-called acting skills were no match for Everett's sharp perception. The look of loss in Everett's eyes, the sorrow in his words—they didn't seem feigned.
So after a few seconds of contemplation, Langston gave up the charade. "Just... promise me you won't tell her I said anything."
Everett froze, even though he had suspected Dorothy all along, the confirmation of the truth left him speechless with shock.
Dorothy had a child with him... No, not just one!
"You have a sister too, right? Is she my child as well?"
Langston nodded vigorously. "Of course! Mom doesn’t have a boyfriend! It's just that my sister doesn’t look as much like you."
"And Kenneth?"
"Kenneth is just a friend of Mom's. They hardly ever meet," blurted Langston, unaware of the gravity of his words. Having said it all, he quickly added, "You have to promise me, you absolutely cannot let my mom know that I told you! She would be furious!"
Langston remembered his mother's repeated warnings to keep this secret.
Seeing Everett still in a state of shock, Langston gave him a nudge. "Don’t rat me out! You figured this out on your own, not from me!"

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...
