The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 756

Sitting beside Everett, Kevin couldn't help but feel his eyes well up with tears for him.

He had always known that Everett was head over heels for Dorothy, but he never imagined the depth of his love.

It was as if he had saved all his tenderness and patience for her alone.

Over a decade—that was a terrifying amount of time.

The long, solitary, unpredictable wait before Dorothy reciprocated his feelings must have been agonizing.

"If I could do it all over, I wouldn't want to be born into the Lopez family. So, don't touch her. Don't push me."

Otherwise, he didn't know what he might do.

...

Karen couldn't get a wink of sleep.

Jeffrey wished he could install cameras in the bedroom to keep an eye on her every move.

"If you really can't sleep, I can take you for a stroll around the yard."

Their villa was on the outskirts of Eldorria City, sprawling over a vast area, so the yard was like a park.

But since Jeffrey seldom stayed there, only a few servants maintained it, and it didn't have any exotic flowers, just the common ones you'd see anywhere.

Karen, of course, jumped at the chance to go outside.

At the very least, she wanted to see where she was.

She got up and followed Jeffrey out the door, only to realize she had been too naive.

The place was so big that she couldn't even make out where she was.

"Let's take a walk, then go with me."

Jeffrey noticed she was shivering in her thin clothing, so he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Karen looked up, squinting against the midday sun to see his handsome face.

It was the same face, the same easygoing expression, but it felt so unfamiliar.

"Do you really have to do this?"
