Dorothy's body quivered, her voice muffled. "Just wait a bit longer. I'll give you an answer."
"Okay."
In the distance, Jeffrey shouted their way, "Hey, keep up! Karen's saying she's starving and fancies some barbecue!"
"Coming!" Dorothy hurriedly extracted herself from his embrace; her cheeks tinged with a bashful glow.
She was still not quite accustomed to public displays of affection with Everett, especially in front of friends—it always felt a bit off.
But he seemed so at ease with it, casually taking her hand as they walked forward together.
It kind of felt like that sweet, electrifying rush of young love.
The resort was sprawling, divided into several thematic areas, and they had only explored three spots when Karen, along with Abigail and Langston, began to complain about being tired.
Glancing at her watch, Dorothy knew it was almost nap time for the kids. Plus, Karen was already a bit of a sleepyhead, clearly just trying to power through.
"Should we head back for a rest? I'm beat, too."
Dorothy stepped up and gently lifted Abigail, who was fighting off sleep with every blink, into her arms.
Everett kept pace, lifting his son beside him. "Sounds good. Let's head back."
The consensus was unanimous, and Jeffrey secured a resort cart to take them back to their hotel accommodations.
Since the resort was newly opened, it was bustling with tourists.
As they got out of the cart, their little group attracted quite a few glances.
Dorothy instinctively shielded Abigail's face, quickening her pace.
Everett, ever the protector, was quick to follow, and in a swift move, he was inside Dorothy's room.

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...
