Even if Jeffrey had been quite the ladies' man in the past, Karen really wanted to give him a chance.
"Your dad's worried he's not reliable! With that face of his..." Serena sighed heavily, "Being handsome and rich, do you think he's going to settle down with you?"
"Mom, it's not like the ordinary ones would be any more likely to settle down if you only judge them by their looks and wealth. Rather than that, I might as well choose someone easy on the eyes."
She'd had her fair share of relationships with less attractive guys, and where did that get her? Only heartbreak.
If Jeffrey turned out to be a jerk, at least she'd have seen it coming and wouldn't be so blindsided.
"You sure about this?"
"Yeah."
Serena was torn for a moment before letting out another long sigh, "You two... have already gone this far, I won't say much more. Just remember, don't get pregnant before you're married! Or else you'll be stuck with no way out."
Karen felt extremely embarrassed, not knowing what to say.
She knew her parents must've overheard something when they came back.
How mortifying it was.
Jeffrey's parents arrived in no time, not only bringing the items he'd previously bought but also a collection of treasured gifts.
The array of gifts piled up in Karen's house like a small mountain, feeling completely out of place.
It was like Huxley and Paloma standing there in the room, all suited and booted, looking so formal and serious.
Jeffrey took the opportunity to pull Karen aside, eyes crinkling with a smile, "I've finally got you in the palm of my hand."
"My parents haven’t agreed yet."

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...
