Dorothy couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
But she knew Karen still had a soft spot for Jeffrey, and now with a baby on the way, a reconciliation seemed normal.
After all, Karen was safe with Jeffrey.
"Mmm," Dorothy pondered for a moment before advising, "Jeffrey, you better have squared things away with your ex. Karen's pretty sensitive, and you know how tough it was for her to take that first step towards you."
"I get it! Don't worry. I'll tie up all loose ends with Paige."
Dorothy furrowed her brows.
She had a nagging suspicion about Jeffrey's words—they had a hint of malice, even though he was smiling as he said them.
"Karen's pregnant; take extra care of her, especially with her diet. She's been sleeping a lot lately, eating less because of it. Keep an eye on that."
"Yeah, I'll get the best nutritionist for her! She's carrying my child; how could I neglect her?"
That was reassuring.
Dorothy could see just how well Jeffrey treated Karen. She let out a sigh of relief.
Her own nerves had been frayed lately, what with Karen's breakup and the threat of getting rid of the baby. Now that the couple was back together, it was like a weight had been lifted.
"Just don't fight again. Be patient with her; women can be a bit emotionally unpredictable during pregnancy."
"As if I'd dare. I'm just grateful she's back with me! And Dorothy, thanks for taking Karen downstairs yesterday."
"Don’t mention it. I just thought you two should talk things through before making a decision about the baby."
Dorothy didn't probe any further about Everett's whereabouts and hung up the phone.
She had just checked out of her hotel room to return to her apartment when she received a call from a law firm.
"Hello, is this Dorothy Sanchez? This is West Legal Services."

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...
