Everett nodded without hesitation, "It's a deal."
Langston eyed him suspiciously, "Aren't you afraid that I might access the back-end, erase your data, and throw the Lopez Corporation into chaos?"
Getting into the CEO's back-end was like getting the keys to the kingdom. All the important files and top-secret data were laid out clear as day.
Everett's crisp and magnetic voice chuckled, "Go ahead, delete away. It's all going to be yours anyway."
"What?" Langston's mind raced to a TV drama he had seen recently, and he smirked, "Just wait until you've got a new wife and kids. You won't be saying that then!"
Everett smiled indulgently, tousling his son's hair.
"I'll only ever have your mom as my wife. Or else, I'll end up a lonely old man."
Looking at his bright and adorable son, Everett felt he shouldn't be too greedy. The idea of having a pair of children with Dorothy was something he hadn’t allowed himself to dream of in the four years since his divorce.
The more he had, the more he feared it was all just a pipe dream.
Dorothy emerged from the restroom to find the father and son, sharing one beaming smile, laughing heartily.
When was the last time she had seen Langston genuinely smile?
Ever since he had started to look more and more like Everett, and she had sent him abroad, their meetings had been few and far between. Now, with his dad, his happiness was tangible, even his laughter was bright and open-hearted.
This was the innocence a child deserved to have.
If it weren't for Everett's presence, she would have loved to capture her son's smiling face on her phone.
"Feeling alright?" Everett noticed her first and rose to join her.
"I'm fine." Dorothy sat back down, glancing at him, "I'm almost done here. Can I see him now?"

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...
