The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 733

Jeffrey had prepared an outpouring of confessions, heartfelt truths, but at that moment, Karen had cornered him into silence, leaving him with just one line.

"So what now?"

Karen didn't want to drag all those issues out into the open, but he kept pressing, leaving her no choice.

"As long as we don't break up, I'll agree to anything you say, okay?"

"But all I want is to break up with you, cleanly and completely." Karen didn't look at him, her back turned to Jeffrey.

"Karen, ever since I've been with you, I stopped going out, and I haven't been involved with anyone else. Paige was just... someone I didn't know about! If I had known, I would've never let that child be born."

Karen scoffed.

"What's the use in saying that now? The child is already here. She's your daughter!"

"I can deny her. I can give Paige a sum of money, and have her take the child and leave, okay?" Jeffrey raised his hand in an oath. "I, Jeffrey, swear on everything that I will never see them again! From now on, you are the only one in my eyes and in my heart."

Once, such words might have touched Karen, but now they left her unmoved.

"This is so pointless, Jeffrey." She frowned, steadying her emotions before looking him in the eyes, "By doing this, I end up being the villain! I'm the one keeping you from seeing your child, the one breaking up a father and his daughter. Have you thought about that? Your daughter will grow up! Then what? How is she going to see me?"

"I... I just won't let her know who her father is!"

"Stop joking. Secrets have a way of coming out." Karen had no desire to play the villain.

She might not have experienced a life without parents, but empathy was enough to understand the hardships of such a life.

The harder the life, the deeper the resentment, and that could lead to trouble later on.
