What good could possibly come from Paige?
Jeffrey meeting up with her? Fat chance!
He swiftly deleted the message on WhatsApp, and after a moment's contemplation, he decided to erase the entire conversation.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Ugh... are we home?"
Karen stirred from her light doze as she felt the car come to a stop.
"Yeah! I'll carry you inside."
Jeffrey seized every opportunity to show off these days.
Karen did not resist, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Mr. Turner, aren't you being a bit too attentive? If your ex finds out, she'll be green with envy!"
"Can we... not talk about her, please?"
Jeffrey silently vowed never to attend any social gatherings again. They were nothing but trouble.
In the end, Jeffrey carried Karen into the bedroom.
Before she could even kick off her shoes, he was already on her, tugging at her clothes impatiently.
"What are you doing?"
"After dinner at your folks', I've been thinking about how we'd celebrate tonight!" Jeffrey cradled Karen's face in his hands and smirked. "This is the first day your parents acknowledged me. It's got to be commemorated, right?"
"Just hopping into bed counts as commemoration?"
Jeffrey paused, then dropped his voice to a whisper by her ear. "From now on, I won't have to use protection."
Karen's face flushed with alarm. "Absolutely no way!"
"We're getting engaged anyway. If you get pregnant before that, we can just do the engagement and wedding together!"
"No, you're putting it on!" Her tone was firm.
But Jeffrey was stronger, and, in this matter, he called the shots.
As they tumbled into bed, Karen pinched his arm in frustration.
"I don't want kids this soon!"
"But I do. I want a kid like little Langston running around me all day! Beats coveting the Everett's kid."
Just seeing Abigail and Langston with Everett made Jeffrey envious.

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...
