"You're insane! If you're hung up on being someone's first night, why on earth did you come after me?"
Jeffrey could see that Karen was getting ticked off, so he scrambled to explain, “No, no, that’s not what I meant! What right do I have to be hung up on anything like that? I’m just... I’m just jealous that they had you before I did! Karen, sometimes I can’t even bear to picture it.”
Karen remained silent,
“If only I’d met you earlier, like when we were in our teens? Then it would’ve been just you and me.”
Karen snorted. “As if you could give up all your exes with their model figures, curves for days, and those sweet, sultry looks.”
The words 'exes' hit Jeffrey like a sucker punch, second only to the blow Heather had dealt him.
“Can we not talk about this anymore?”
“You’re the one who brought up ex-boyfriends.”
“I'm sorry, okay?” Jeffrey flashed a sheepish grin, trying to lighten the mood. “How about I carry you off to the shower?”
Karen pushed him away. “I can shower on my own, thank you very much. I’m not paralyzed.”
“Still got some fight in you, huh? Then...”
“Get lost!”
...
After two days of stubborn silence, Jonathan was the first to crack.
With the one-month deadline he had given to Dorothy fast approaching and the grandchildren on the cusp of being inducted into the Lopez family, it was crucial to change their surnames to avoid any snickers or side-eye.
He reached out to Everett, but when the call went unanswered, he was left to send a message.
[Send someone to escort Heather over, and let’s keep this between us, alright? Don't tell your mother!]
Jonathan had not actually consulted his wife because he figured it would only lead to more hassle. It was simpler to ask forgiveness than permission, especially since Heather was currently under his control.
If his son ended up offing her, his wife would probably throw a fit, sure, but it would not amount to much.
Everett saw the message and immediately had Kevin arrange for someone to handle it.

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...
