That heart-thumping sensation seemed to find its home only in the presence of Everett.
He kissed her with a focus that intensified from a whisper to a storm.
It wasn't until the onlookers began to tease that Dorothy pushed him away and bolted. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Everett knew she was shy. Striding with long steps, he caught up to her, "What's the worry? Think we're breaking the rules?"
Dorothy didn’t know how to reply.
"Then let's make it official," he said, gripping her hand a bit tighter. "I'm back in town now. Let's head to city hall and renew our vows."
Dorothy blinked out of her daze and then smiled at him, "You think you can just whisk me away to sign papers? I've learned my lesson the first time around."
Looking for a proposal? Everett thought she was softening up.
But Dorothy shook her head, "I want to give it more serious thought before I give you an answer."
In the world of grown-ups, anything short of a yes was a no.
Everett understood.
...
They bought some snacks and trinkets on the streets, and only when Dorothy felt a hint of fatigue did they head back to their place.
"Go rest up. I'll tend to the kids."
Everett stroked her hair, seeing the weariness in her eyes.
"Your company must be swamped, right? Don't dump it all on Kevin and Jeffrey. I'm not that tired. Playing with the kids is doable."
"Are you sure you’re not tired?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Dorothy nodded firmly, "Of course!"
"Then let's do something else." Without further ado, Everett lifted Dorothy into his arms.

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...
