The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 681

"Jeffrey, does it hit the spot?" Serena asked eagerly, nudging a plate of pies towards him across the table.

Jeffrey nodded vigorously, "Mom, they're delicious."

By now, everyone had gotten used to him addressing them as mom and dad.

After the meal, Jeffrey and Karen stayed a bit longer to catch a couple of episodes of a TV series with the old couple.

Afraid of delaying Jeffrey's work tomorrow, it was Derek who suggested they go back.

On the drive home, Karen was dozing off, fighting sleep the entire way.

Jeffrey was unusually quiet, just focused on driving.

It wasn't until they pulled up at the base of their villa that Karen opened her eyes and, peering at his profile, she raised an eyebrow, "Huh? Your ex-girlfriend was in your car today."

Jeffrey's grip on the steering wheel tightened for a moment, "She was in the back seat."

"So from now on, only I can sit shotgun, okay?" Karen leaned in, hoping to playfully tease him.

Jeffrey was taken aback, turning to look at her, "Are you jealous?"

"To be honest, not really jealous, but it's definitely uncomfortable. But I understand, you've had your fair share of flings in the past and there's always something to deal with. I knew what I was getting into when I agreed to be your girlfriend," she said.

"Karen, I..." Jeffrey's lips parted slightly, but the words seemed to get stuck in his throat.

She raised an eyebrow, "Well?"

"Nothing, let's get out," Jeffrey said, parking the car neatly and getting out.

Karen was surprised by his behavior.

He wasn't usually like this, usually all talkative and never shutting up. Today, it seemed like he was weighed down with something heavy on his mind.

Could it be about his ex-girlfriend?

Karen followed him into the villa, wrapping her coat around herself. She thought he wouldn't be in the mood for intimacy tonight, but no sooner had she taken off her shoes than Jeffrey swept her into his arms, spinning her around and pinning her to the bed.
