The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 492
He could only think of one thing the Lopez family was truly missing — children.
"It's not about wanting," Jonathan argued, his voice firm with conviction, "Since the kids are Lopez’s bloodline, so it's my responsibility to bring them home, instead of letting them suffer out there with Dorothy!"
He hadn't planned on keeping this from Everett. Of course, it wouldn't have stayed a secret for long. He just hadn't felt ready to broach the subject.
"Whether it's suffering or blessing, that's up to the kids to decide, not you."
"They're too young to know what's good or bad for them. Surely they want to be with their mom. But we, the Lopez family, can't accept Dorothy, nor can we let our lineage falter outside!"
Everett tugged at his chapped lips. "They’re not outside with me here."
He never saw the children being raised by Dorothy as "suffering". They were clearly well-cared for — adorable, healthy, and incredibly sensible.
As their father, he felt a deep gratitude for Dorothy, and it pained him to see her struggle.
"Nonsense!" Jonathan started to scold, but then hastily softened his tone as recalling his son's condition, "Everett, you know what I care about! If you really wish for the best for the kids, you should have them back to us. Who knows how Dorothy might raise them!"
"Dorothy has never taught them to resent the Lopez family. Your fear isn't necessary."
"I feared? We, the Lopez family, didn't even know about the kids before!" Jonathan’s voice deepened with emotion, "Yes, I admit that your mother made a mistake and that I didn't expect Heather to be so brazen. From now on, we'll make sure you have nothing to do with Heather. But Dorothy... she can't be part of the Lopez family."
"Why?" Everett clenched his teeth, attempting to sit up despite the pain.
After several failed attempts as he was restrained by the wires of the monitoring equipment, he simply unplugged the cords.
Suddenly, the machine let out a shrill, buzzing alarm.

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...
