"Are you really cool with me doing this?"
Dorothy chuckled. "Why wouldn’t I be? Marriage is a wonderful thing, a celebration of love! Why would I want to rain on your parade?"
Karen hesitated, her voice dropping to a whisper, "Dorothy, do you hate Jeffrey?"
"Only if he's mean to you."
"Kenneth thinks you'd be mad. He even gave me a piece of his mind, accusing me of betraying you—hooking up with a guy who used to side with Heather of all people!"
Dorothy paused, a little taken aback.
That sure sounded like something Kenneth would do.
"I'm not upset, really. I don't exactly hate Jeffrey. I don't particularly like him either. I just think he's Everett's faithful buddy who genuinely has Everett's best interests at heart. Even when he's chewed me out, looking back, it was only because he thought I was not good enough for Everett."
Viewed from another angle, Dorothy figured Karen might do the same.
"As long as you're okay, that's what matters. I've been worried sick about it."
"Karen, neither you nor Kenneth owes me anything. If anything, I owe you both. Don't worry about my feelings."
"What do you mean 'owe'? Aren't we all family here?" Karen laughed softly, then said, "Alright, I got the answer I was looking for. I'll let you get back to your rest. You need to conserve your energy for... well, night's about to fall over there."
Dorothy propped herself up on her elbow, sluggishly sitting up in bed.
"If he wants it again today, I'm ready to go to the mat with him."
If she was going to go down, she would do it with dignity!
No sooner had she spoken than Everett stepped into the room, his tall frame cloaked in a dark coat, his eyes on her.
"Who are you planning to go to the mat with?"
Great timing to overhear 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...
