The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 539

Kenneth knew it was all Everett's doing.

"Umm... Kenneth..." Dorothy sounded hesitant.

He chuckled, "Go ahead! He's sick, you gotta take good care of him. I'll be here when you get back."

"Okay, see you later, Kenneth!"

After hanging up the phone, Kenneth looked up at the sky.

The wind in Eldorria City was fierce today, whipping around so much that his heart started to ache. He instinctively clutched at his chest, took a moment to steady himself, then headed back.

Maybe this was for the best; feeling pain meant he was still alive.

...

In the hospital room, Dorothy ended the call and turned to Everett.

He was smirking with a raised eyebrow, "What's up?"

"You wanted a sponge bath, right? I'll give you one!" she approached him, half-exasperated, half-amused. "Didn't you say me giving you a sponge bath was like torture? Oh, I make one phone call to Kenneth and suddenly you change your mind?"

Everett wasn't annoyed; he lay back, a lazy smile on his face, his shirt unbuttoned at the top revealing his toned chest, prominent collarbones, and those mysterious, sexy numbers.

"I haven't changed my mind." He paused, "It's just that listening to you talk to Kenneth is a bigger torture than any sponge bath."

"Without Kenneth's help over the years, you might not have even had the chance to see me again."

She would have been caught up in the hustle of making ends meet, raising kids, and then taking care of them alone would've limited her work hours. How could she have become a director at East Star Enterprises?

No matter what the future held, Dorothy couldn't forget the help she received from Karen and Kenneth.

Otherwise, how would she be any different from those who bite the hand that feeds them?

"I know." Everett was aware of Kenneth's place in Dorothy’s heart, "But that doesn't stop me from being jealous."

"How childish."
