The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 616

"No!" Karen blurted out, her voice resolute. "Just give me some time, okay? I need to let this sink in with them."

The thought of breaking the news to her parents that her blind date had shifted from Levi to Jeffrey was daunting. There was no way her parents would take it lightly.

She needed a detailed plan on how to break it to them and, truth be told, Karen still found the idea of her and Jeffrey discussing marriage a bit ludicrous.

"Alright, you've got one day," Jeffrey conceded, setting his final limit. "I'm bringing my parents over tomorrow."

"What's the rush, Jeffrey?"

"Just jealous of Everett, I guess. I want my own little 'Langston' soon, too."

After seeing Everett with his kids, Jeffrey's desire for a child of his own had skyrocketed. He was so impatient it was almost as if he wanted to kidnap a baby and call it a day.

...

The next morning, Dorothy and Everett left the house early.

Their first stop was Central Street.

Since it wasn't the weekend, the crowd was sparse, only with couples and friends chatting and laughing in twos and threes.

"Want a taste?"

Everett, donned in a dark trench coat, quickened his pace and bought a maple pecan ice cream from a street vendor.

Dorothy took a bite, "Delicious."

"Then I'll have Kevin buy some more and bring them back home."

"No need for that, really."

Hand in hand, they continued on their stroll, stopping occasionally and snapping several photos along the way.

They followed the navigation to the Saint Cathedral.

"Wow!"

The sight of the cathedral in front of her made Dorothy gasp in awe.

The sky was a striking blue, as if freshly washed by water, creating a visual spectacle against the cathedral's red brick and green domes.

She took out her phone, eager to capture the moment.
