The moment the words left Jeffrey’s lips, not only was Karen stunned, but Dorothy was equally flabbergasted.
Subconsciously, Dorothy wondered if this wasn't some ploy by Jeffrey, cooked up to keep Karen and the baby tied to him.
But before Dorothy could fully wrap her head around the idea, Karen beat her to it.
"Do you think I'd buy that?"
"It's true! Everett—"
Jeffrey cut himself off mid-sentence, suddenly remembering Everett's stern warning not to let Dorothy know he was back in town. Guiltily lowering his voice and sneaking a glance at Dorothy, he stammered, "Everett helped me find out my blood type doesn't match the baby's..."
So, Everett had a part in this drama too.
Dorothy suddenly felt like she was a third wheel, standing there while they needed to hash things out. So, with a few discreet coughs, she chimed in, "You know what, you two talk. Since the kid isn't yours, you probably have a lot to discuss. I'm going to take a walk. Karen, call me if you need anything."
"Alright." Karen knew Jeffrey wouldn't let her off the hook easily and that she wouldn't be able to shake him off for a while.
Truth be told, Dorothy really did want some air.
All day long, she had been on edge, waiting for phone calls, her heart hanging by a thread.
Now, as she stepped outside to breathe in some fresh air, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.
There was a quaint little park nearby, which she knew of, so she made her way in that direction.
For some reason, the park was unusually empty that day.
Checking her phone, Dorothy saw it was Tuesday. A chill breeze prompted her to pull her jacket tighter around her, but she could somewhat understand why there was no one there.
She took a seat on a bench and for some unknown reason, craved a drink.
Glancing around, she spotted a convenience store not too far off.
Dorothy walked in, grabbed a six-pack of beer, paid for it, and asked for a plastic bag. Bag in hand, she made her way back to the park.

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...
