"No way." Karen's reply was resolute. "Jeffrey, it's over between us."
Indeed, what Karen had found most distasteful was the child that Paige had brought into their lives.
Had Jeffrey not dropped the bomb about the pregnancy on the day she discovered her own, she might have considered a reconciliation.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to meet Jeffrey in the first place.
But after days of cool-headed reflection, she acknowledged the painful truth: Jeffrey was not her Mr. Right.
They were mismatched in every possible way, hence the Paige situation.
Maybe she held a slightly dearer place in Jeffrey's heart than Paige, but she could end up just like her. If she had a child, the decisions would only get tougher.
Would she divorce and join the ranks of single mothers, or would she hand the child over to the Turners and spend her days in heartache and worry?
Neither option appealed to Karen.
"So, you're set on the abortion, huh?" Jeffrey finally understood her stance. "Karen, you're too rational. You never loved me!"
His love for Karen had made him realize that love was supposed to be blind, reckless bravery.
Like Everett with Dorothy, willing to trample his pride and status underfoot.
Like him, swollen-faced from rejection, yet still lingering around her!
She was too cool, too calculating, always sorting things out for her best interest.
That wasn't love.
"Think whatever you want. As long as you have nothing to do with me anymore," she retorted.
Karen turned to leave.
Jeffrey didn't speak but clenched his fists and followed her.

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...
