The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 679
"Mom, don't build up his ego at the expense of our own pride."
"What do you mean 'his'? Jeffrey's practically family now, with the engagement around the corner."
Karen chuckled so hard she had to lean back to catch her breath, musing to herself that Jeffrey really had a way with people. He'd managed to turn his image around in such a short time; the guy was seriously committed.
She shouldn't have doubted his intentions.
At that moment, Karen felt an unexpected flutter of pre-wedding bashfulness, the kind that sneaks up on you without any clear reason.
...
In the car, Jeffrey's lips were pressed into a tight line, his silence deafening.
Paige, sensing the mood, didn't dare make a sound. She sat shrunken in the back seat, stealing glances at Jeffrey's profile.
After driving for miles, far from the city center, Paige finally mustered the courage to speak up.
"Do you want to see the baby? It's a girl."
"What the hell are you thinking!" Jeffrey's temper flared, his patience finally snapping. He slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the roadside.
This remote area was naturally quiet, with few people around, especially in the dark of night.
"Get out," he said, his tone far from friendly.
Paige didn't hesitate, quickly opening the door and stepping out.
Jeffrey lit a cigarette, his profile illuminated by the flicker of his lighter, his jawline sharp and striking in the dim light.
That was part of the reason Paige couldn't let go.

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...
