The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 707

Derek, fueled by a father’s protective instinct, didn’t even bother to grab his coat. In just a tee he usually lounged in at home, he dashed out the door.

Spotting his daughter, he strode towards her with determination.

“Karen, Daddy’s here.”

The moment Jeffrey caught sight of Derek, his stomach twisted with anxiety.

“Dad…”

“Hold on,” Derek cut him off, his voice as chilly as the winter air, as he positioned himself between Karen and Jeffrey, “What Karen just said… Is it true?”

Jeffrey scrambled to clarify, “There’s a reason for it! It’s not what Karen thinks!”

“I’m asking you straight. Did you spend the night with another woman?”

Jeffrey hesitated before replying, “Yes.”

“That’s all I need to know. I’m taking my daughter home.” Derek was even less willing to hear excuses than Karen was. He merely looked down at his daughter and asked, “Are those two suitcases yours?”

Karen nodded, her eyes welling up, “Yeah.”

“I’ll grab them. You go wait in the car.”

The gentle care and unconditional support from her father brought tears to Karen’s eyes, tears she had been holding back until then.

She turned and walked towards her father’s car.

Jeffrey rushed over, grabbing her wrist in a desperate grip. “Does it have to be so cutthroat? After all we’ve been through, you're just going to cut ties like this?”

“Let go.”
