"You already have two kids!"
"Dorothy's planning to leave once I'm all healed up," admitted Everett, who wished he could be oblivious to Dorothy's intentions. It would spare him the anxiety of living like a man with a sword hanging over his head during his recovery.
"Look, you two are already knee-deep in this. Why don't you just bite the bullet, march her down to the courthouse, and get hitched? Keep her by your side for good! Who's going to stop you now, anyway? You've always been too considerate of Dorothy's feelings right from the get-go!"
"And do you still think you can tie down Karen like that?"
Jeffrey's voice was so hoarse that he could barely squeeze the words out.
"Uh... that's different. She really doesn't have any feelings for me! She's even got herself dolled up, bought a new dress, and is getting ready for blind dates!"
The very thought riled him up!
Everett's voice deepened, "You head to the office. If you need me, give me a call."
"Will do!"
"Oh, and Dorothy and I are heading back home next week to pick up the kiddos."
Jeffrey was taken aback. He quickly grilled, "You going to Karen's to pick them up?"
"Yeah."
"Then count me in!" he declared, then realizing something was off, he mumbled an excuse, "I just miss the little tyke, Langston. It's not about seeing Karen! She said she needed time to think, and I won't bother her until she's figured it out."
Everett didn't want to strip a man of his last shred of dignity, so he just grunted an acknowledgment and hung up.
Jeffrey stared at his phone and double-checked the date.
She should have made up her mind a week later, right?

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...
