Jeffrey scooped up the oncoming Langston in one swift move, lifting him off the ground effortlessly.
"Mr. Turner, you woke up from the hospital?" Langston's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Yep! And look who's come to see me," Jeffrey teased as he playfully pinched Langston's nose. "My little champ even made a wish for me to wake up, huh?"
Jeffrey genuinely adored Langston, the kid was sharp as a tack and bore an uncanny resemblance to Everett!
As they started catching up, Karen led Abigail over to join them reluctantly.
Jeffrey pretended to be casual as he greeted, "Here to pick up Dorothy?"
"Yeah."
"And this must be Abigail?" Jeffrey's eyes lit up as he looked at the little girl Karen was holding by the hand.
Abigail’s skin was porcelain-white, her big double-lidded eyes and rosy lips made her the spitting image of a delicate doll!
There was hardly a soul who wouldn't marvel at Abigail's prettiness.
Karen simply responded with a distant monosyllabic, "Yeah."
Jeffrey didn’t bother to argue. He walked over to Abigail and gently caressed her cheek, saying, "You look more like your mom! I'm jealous of Everett, that lucky dog. He's got both Abigail and Langston, and here I am, without a single munchkin of my own!"
He threw a pointed glance at Karen, who seemed to ignore his comment completely.
Walking side by side toward the arrivals lounge, they barely spoke. Jeffrey didn’t initiate conversation, and Karen certainly wasn’t going to start one.

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...
