Knowing that Jeffrey was a ladies' man was one thing, but meeting a whole parade of his exes was quite another.
All Karen could manage to show was a weary smile, admitting she wasn't quite used to the idea yet.
"Look, I'll make an official announcement about our relationship on Twitter!" Jeffrey offered with a hint of desperation. "Then everyone would know I'm off the market."
"No need, Jeffrey. I'm just tired. Drive me home, will you? I need to crash for a bit."
Jeffrey was on the verge of tears. "Don't go home. Crash at my place, please? I swear I won't bug you. I promise!"
He feared that if Karen went home and took some time to think, she might send him a breakup text. All his efforts would go down the drain!
Karen looked at him with a smile tinged with resignation, "What are you afraid of? If I wanted to end things, I would've said so already."
Jeffrey’s unspoken words hung in the air.
"I've got ex-boyfriends just like you have ex-girlfriends. It's no big deal! Maybe it's just my cousin's scolding still ringing in my ears. Upon this, naturally I would feel a bit upset when I came across that girl in the shopping mall."
Jeffrey didn't buy it. Women could be as fickle as the weather. He knew it.
"Anyway, what's the difference between resting at your parents' place and at mine? If you go home like this, your parents will probably think I did something awful to you! Don't go back, okay? Come to my place. When you're up, I'll take you out for something good to eat, whatever you want!"
Karen couldn't help but laugh at his anxious plea.
"Fine, but your parents aren't home, are they?"
"Don’t worry! If you want them home, they'll be there. If not, they won't!"
Karen was speechless.
Handing her a cold drink, Jeffrey's voice dropped to a whisper, "I promise, apart from having too many exes, I won't give you any other reason to be upset. If we bump into any girl I know on the street again, I'll run the other way so fast that they won't get a chance to say hi to me!"
"You don't have to do that."

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...
