Jeffrey had made his grand declaration without ever consulting Karen, never even dropping her a hint while at home!
So the looks of sheer astonishment on Karen and Derek's faces were identical.
"I'm all in with Karen for life," Jeffrey proclaimed. "I won’t leave even if she's mad at me, yells or throws a shoe at me! And if she kicks me out, I'll just camp out on the doorstep until she cools off!"
Silence hung in the air.
Derek continued to watch his daughter.
"Dad, don't be mad. He... well, he's got heart."
"Let's talk upstairs." Finally, Derek conceded. He inhaled deeply and continued, "We don't want the whole neighborhood thinking the Millers are bullying their future son-in-law, do we?"

Whenever Dorothy had a spare moment during the day, she pondered over who sent the bouquet of roses.
But deep down, she felt the odds were on Everett. It was just like him to be so stubborn about admitting to such a gesture!
As the workday drew to a close, Dorothy waited for the office to clear out before she reluctantly picked up the roses and made her way downstairs.
Just as she was about to hail a cab, a sleek black Volkswagen pulled up beside her.
The window rolled down, revealing Austin.
"Ms. Sanchez, didn't drive today, huh?"
"Yeah, parking's a nightmare."
"Let me give you a lift!" Austin was already out of the car, moving to help her with the flowers.
Dorothy shook her head so fast it could've spun off.
"No, no! Really. I can take a cab."
"Why the formality? We developed a bond at East Star Enterprises, remember?" Austin's tone was warm and friendly.

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...
