"Tell me the truth. You've been hounding me for ages just for this, haven't you?"
Karen wore a look that saw right through him; her scoff was dripping with contempt.
Jeffery was at a loss for words, but frustration bottled up inside as he held back.
"Karen, you sure have a way with summaries!" He gave her a thumbs-up as a sarcastic gesture, "Was it not who asked you first to be my girlfriend? And you said no! I never wanted such... such improper affair to maintain between us."
"You even know the word 'improper,' huh?" Karen shot him a piercing glance, checked the time on her phone, and nodded towards the market by the entrance of the community, "You better go shop."
Jeffery's mind could never keep pace with Karen's whims.
"Shop for what?"
"Condoms! Or are you planning on making babies?"
In silence, Jeffery's lips twisted uncomfortably. He disliked the way she treated their situation as if it was nothing more than a transaction.
Karen just wanted to shake him off and get away from his grasp.
"Still standing there?"
Jeffery's lips quivered slightly, his voice involuntarily lowering, "No need to buy. I've got some in the car."
"Hmph," Karen snorted, pushing him back a step, "Let's go then. Where to?"
"Now? Right now?"
"Mr. Turner, I'd appreciate it if you could make it quick. My folks are waiting for me at home."
With those words, she strode off ahead, her casual indifference casting Jeffery in the light of a lover seeking validation.

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...
