The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 766

[Okay, I got it, Mr. Lopez.] Kevin replied.

Everett could almost sense the relief that washed over Kevin from the other side of the screen.

He tried to twist his lips into a smile, but it just wouldn't come.

...

Jeffrey had been obsessing over that marriage license, and now he finally had it in his hands.

On the ride back, he kept pulling it out of his pocket, looking at it multiple times, putting it back, then taking it out again, and back in it went.

At that point, Karen couldn't help but think he was acting like a three-year-old. But when he got serious, he was like a crime boss.

She couldn't shake the memory of being in the restroom, having her phone snatched away, and when she looked up at him, those cold, piercing eyes staring back at her!

Karen half expected him to smash the phone right then and there.

"You're finally mine!" Jeffrey declared, pulling Karen close and waving the marriage license in front of her.

"Give me mine," she said, reaching out for it.

But Jeffrey tucked the certificate away.

"Nope, it's safer with me."

"Jeffrey, you know I can always go to the city hall and get a copy if I want a divorce."

As if withholding the certificate could actually stop anything.

"If you want a divorce, you'd still need my consent!"

He had worked too hard to bring her back into his life; he wasn't about to let go.

Karen sighed, not wanting to argue with him.

"Now that we're married, you can let me go back home, right? My parents are going to be worried sick if they don't see me for a few days. You can't keep me locked away forever."

"Don't worry, I've already messaged them on your WhatsApp. All is good."
