The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 677
"Holy smokes."
Jeffrey had to stifle the curse before it slipped past his lips.
Well, Derek was still there now. His desperate gaze flicked to Karen.
Karen reached over, taking the grocery bags from Jeffrey's hand, and said to Derek, "Dad, Jeffrey's got a call from work. Let's head upstairs."
"Well, sure," Derek wasn't born yesterday, but if his daughter didn't make a fuss, neither would he. He followed her up the stairs.
Only when they were out of earshot did Jeffrey turn his glare on Paige.
"Are you nuts? I've been avoiding you like the plague, isn't that clear enough?"
He had never met such a clingy ex. To think she'd actually show up outside Karen's parents' place.
"I tried reaching out through friends, but you wouldn't answer. I had no choice but to look up that woman you're with." Paige's voice wavered, unable to say 'fiancée', her vision blurring with tears. "Jeffrey, you said you'd never marry. You lied to me."
He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration, grabbed a pack from his car, and tapped out a cigarette. "Met someone who changed my mind. What, I need your approval now?"
"When you broke up with me, wasn't it because I wanted to get married and you didn't? All this time, I convinced myself that we split because we were different. You were a bachelor for life. I told myself to let go, to stop thinking about you, and then you turn around and propose to her?"
Jeffrey wasn't interested in her roundabout complaints. He focused on his smoke, and when she finally stopped talking, he said nonchalantly, "Yeah, I'm marrying her."
"And what about me?"
"An ex, what else?"

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...
