The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 618

"Absolutely!" Jeffrey's voice pitched up with excitement. "I'm not talking about just dating, man. I'm talking about meeting the parents, tying the knot!"

"How long have you guys even known each other?"

Everett felt they were rushing into things like kids playing house, not taking it seriously enough.

While he wasn't surprised Jeffrey could make such a move, the one in question was Karen. He couldn't help but throw in a few words of caution.

"Didn't you fall for Dorothy the moment you saw her? The only difference between us is—Dorothy didn't say yes back in our college days, but Karen said yes to me now."

Everett was at a loss for words.

"If Dorothy had agreed to be your girlfriend back then, you would've said no? That you'd complain about not knowing each other long enough, about not being cautious enough?"

Of course, Everett wouldn't have said no.

He was left speechless by Jeffrey’s retort.

"Chill, dude. I'm serious this time. I want to get married and have a couple of kids, just like you and Dorothy!"

After a few more words of advice, Everett hung up. On the other side of the bed, Dorothy was already probing Karen.

"Did Jeffrey do something to you? You can tell me, don't be scared."

On the other end, Karen hesitated before saying, "Although he's done some pretty bold stuff, agreeing to be with him was indeed my choice."

"What made you change your mind?"

Dorothy clearly remembered Karen disliking Jeffrey before for his annoyance.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be any start between them.

Especially since Karen truly disliked anyone who had been with Heather.

"Jeffrey mentioned visiting your parents. Are you guys planning on getting to know each other for a while, or... a shotgun wedding?" Dorothy was concerned when she heard Karen's tone. It was clear she wasn't quite smitten yet, and a wedding would definitely be premature.

"Don't listen to his nonsense! We've just agreed to try dating. Talking about marriage is way too early. I might be a sucker for a pretty face, but I haven't lost my mind!"

Hearing Karen say that, Dorothy felt relieved.

"Alright, as long as you know what you're doing."

"Don't worry, I'm not love-struck. If I were, I would've said yes to Jeffrey long ago."
