The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 711

Dorothy glanced at Everett, who had already shifted his gaze and was walking ahead, cradling their daughter in his arms.

She let her eyelashes flutter downwards for a brief moment before taking hold of her son's hand and hurrying to catch up.

Despite Everett having spent the majority of the day looking after the kids, Dorothy still found herself exhausted, dozing off on the car ride back home.

She had no recollection of how they got back to their room, but she was certain of one thing—Everett must have carried her.

When she woke up again, it was two in the morning.

As she slowly opened her eyes, she could hear the sound of Everett's steady breathing behind her.

He was sleeping deeply, lying there properly without a hand draped over her waist like before when he seemed to fear she would run away.

Sneaking her phone off the nightstand, Dorothy tiptoed to the couch before noticing an unread text message.

It was a flight confirmation from the airline: first-class seats from Swevia Country to Eldorria City, scheduled for the following afternoon.

It was the deadline she and Jonathan had set.

Instinctively, her eyes returned to Everett, lying on the bed. She knew he was the one who booked the flight.

He had said, "After these three days, I'll let you go."

Everett never lied to her, and this time was no different.

Dorothy bit her lower lip hard, trying to keep her emotions from spilling out.

With Everett handing over the USB stick with the video intact was more than enough; it would be unfair to expect anything more from him.

After all, Everett was facing his own struggles with his birth mother, and Dorothy was well aware of how difficult his situation was.

Fearing she wouldn't be able to hold back her tears, Dorothy decided to leave the room.

But as her hand touched the doorknob, she felt a warm palm grip her arm.

Surprised, she looked up into Everett's eyes.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Dorothy hadn't expected him to wake up; he had seemed so soundly asleep just moments ago.
