Jeffrey's face turned a shade darker, the storm within evident. "Too late."
"What?"
...
Ever since Byte 7 had called out of the blue, Dorothy had been on edge.
She fretted over whether the task of recovering the data from the flash drive was too much, even for Byte 7. Otherwise, why would he have made a point to call about it?
From what Kenneth had said, Byte 7 was notoriously reclusive, hating to make contact with anyone. Even his impatient tone on the phone was a giveaway.
"What's on your mind?"
Everett had just wrapped up signing a couple of contracts when he caught Dorothy daydreaming by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Dorothy started at the sound of his voice and offered a forced smile, "It's nothing."
Sensing she wasn't keen on sharing, Everett held back his questions, even though he was itching to ask.
"Come here." He called out to her with a warm voice, and Dorothy slowly made her way to the bedside.
"Can you stand on your leg now?"
"It hurts a bit, but Dr. Quincy suggested I should try walking a bit."
As she approached Everett, she instinctively looked down to check if his wound was bleeding.
He was always moving about, causing the wound to reopen time and again. It seemed like it just wouldn't heal!
"After I'm discharged, let's head back home, and you can move into Bay Residence with the kids for good, okay?"
He had it all planned out. They would clear out two of the rarely used guest rooms at Bay Residence and convert them into children's rooms.

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...
