Karen couldn't tell if it was the pregnancy, but she sure was sleepy these days.
She slept like a log until the evening shadows stretched long and dark.
Opening her eyes, she caught snippets of conversation outside, and a man’s voice at that!
Instinctively, she furrowed her brow, straining to listen, half worried it might be her dad. But thankfully, it was just Kenneth.
Dorothy had flown back from abroad; it was a no-brainer that Kenneth would swing by. Karen could've bet on it.
"Hey, Kenneth, you made it."
Stepping into the living room, Karen clocked the off look in Kenneth’s eyes.
She glanced at Dorothy and asked, "Did you tell Kenneth?"
Dorothy nodded. "Yeah, I told him about the breakup."
So, the pregnancy was still under wraps.
Karen flashed a knowing smile and plopped down beside Dorothy. "Kenneth, I would have told you myself, but you've been down lately. I figured this news might just make things worse."
"I knew it!" Kenneth scowled, his thick brows knitting together. "I always said that Jeffrey was bad news, but you wouldn't listen. Now you've had a good cry and seen the light?"
Karen stuck out her tongue. "I thought I'd give it a shot! He was sweet to me at first, but I guess..."
"There's a lot you didn't see coming!" Kenneth’s tone was stern. "Lucky for you, you didn't get engaged. Do you have any idea how that would've affected your future?"
The difference between being a first-time bride and a second-time bride could scare off plenty of guys!
She could date freely before marriage, have as many boyfriends as she liked. As long as she wasn't married, she was still 'Miss'. But once it's on paper, everything changes.
Kenneth had been so mad when he found out Karen was thinking of getting engaged to Jeffrey that he wanted to give Jeffrey a piece of his mind, and Karen too, while he was at it!

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...
