Dorothy paused for a few seconds, her nod stiff and awkward. "Yeah, you surely know what's best for you."
"That's right, Dorothy! After all, if I became a stepmom, I'd be the fairy tale kind of stepmother!"
Dorothy watched as Karen forced a smile, entertaining herself with the joke. But it wasn't funny. Not one bit.
...
What they didn't realize was that Jeffrey hadn't left all night.
He had stood at the doorstep of Karen's apartment, exhausted, eventually sitting on the steps, leaning against the wall.
It felt like only by being there, he could be a little closer to her.
Anyway, it was better than going back to that cold mansion.
Come early morning, just as Jeffrey had barely closed his eyes, he sensed someone looming over him!
He jolted awake, looking up to see the figure.
"Everett! You—"
Everett, with his thick eyebrows furrowed, bent down to shush him.
"Keep it down, man. I can't let Dorothy see me."
Everett glanced at the apartment door with a low voice, "Come downstairs."
"Oh."
Jeffrey got up from the step, his legs numb and almost stumbled, nearly taking a spill.
The two towering figures, one after another, descended the stairs; both strikingly handsome, the kind that could steal one’s gaze. Luckily, it was early, and the neighborhood was quiet. Otherwise, there would surely be some sneaky photos taken.
To avoid drawing attention, Everett had deliberately taken Kevin's car.
Jeffrey didn't waste a second. He asked as they got in, "Why are you back, man?"
Everett had shared his situation with Jeffrey, so the latter thought Everett would be out at Elysian Country for the time being.

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...
