The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 728

Typical Karen, indeed!

Her style was unmistakable: assertive, independent, and bold as brass.

Jeffrey pondered what her reaction might have been when she first heard the news of her pregnancy, and how she must have felt receiving his call. Deep down, Karen probably hoped for a reconciliation; that's the only reason she would agree to meet so easily.

But what did he bring to her but a storm.

It's no wonder Karen decided to go through with the abortion.

"Sir?"

The doctor's voice snapped him out of his reverie, noticing his prolonged silence.

Jeffrey cleared his throat and said, "Sorry, would you mind canceling the procedure for her?"

"But she's already paid, non-refundable, and all the preliminary checks are done—"

"It's fine. I'll cover the costs for her."

He'd give his life for her, if only she'd take it!

...

Kenneth knew Dorothy was back in town and was hell-bent on seeing her.

Fresh from the hospital, his parents weren't thrilled about him getting mixed up with Dorothy again.

But what could they do? Their son was grown and had a mind of his own.

"Mom, if you don't want me back in the hospital, let me go see her!"

"She's already got someone else, Ken. Two kids, too. Why can't you let go?" his mother lamented. "It's been years, and you've been keeping an eye on her, fine. But she left without a word, took the kids, and that shows she's just not into you."

Kenneth's gaze dropped, and his brow furrowed. "She told me a long time ago she didn't have feelings for me. I know that."

"And yet you still—"

"It's my choice."

"You are so stubborn!"

He sighed, "Just let me go, Mom. This time around, I just want to see her more, and be closer to her. If you can't stand the sight of me, pretend I'm dead."

...

He pushed past his mother's objections and left the house.
