The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 749

"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.
