Kenneth's expression froze for just a moment before he nodded. "Yeah, alright. I'll keep you posted on any updates from Byte 7. And don't worry about the final payment; I've got it all sorted."
Dorothy acknowledged with a quick, "Then I'll be off."
"You drove here yourself?"
"Yeah."
Kenneth waved his hand dismissively, "Drive safe on your way back, and remember to ice that ankle. We don't want it swelling up by morning."
He watched as Dorothy got into her car, his lips curling into a half-smile.
Kenneth knew that Dorothy would never bring Everett to the cemetery. That man had no right to set foot in the sacred grounds, to visit Bella as a son-in-law.
And neither would he, not in that role, ever.
...
Dorothy drove back to the Bay Residence, her gaze instinctively scanning for Everett's car.
Seeing the sleek black Maybach parked steadily in the garage, she let out a small sigh of relief.
It wasn't that she felt guilty for anything—she just didn't want to upset Everett by going to the cemetery without him, especially after ending up there with Kenneth. The situation would be uncomfortable if Everett were to find out.
She punched in the code and walked in, exchanging her shoes for slippers at the foyer.
Dorothy could hear the laughter of the kids upstairs, but there was no hint of Everett.
Was he in the bedroom?
Shuffling in her slippers, Dorothy checked the master bedroom, but it was empty.
She went upstairs, half-expecting to find Everett playing with the kids, but he wasn't there either.
"Where's Dad?" Dorothy asked Langston.
"I dunno, Mom. He was here earlier playing with me and Sis, then he kept checking his watch like he had something important to do. He didn't stay long."
"He didn't say where he was going?"

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...
