Jeffrey's words hit Everett right in the feels.
It was indeed true that since the blow-up, Everett's phone hadn't even buzzed with a single text from Dorothy.
"Wake up, Everett," Jeffrey said, "There's someone else better for you. Someone who actually cares about you."
He might as well have said Heather's name.
But Everett just pursed his lips, eyes glued to his phone screen without a word.
Seeing him like that, Jeffrey sighed and said, "All right, I'll stop blabbering. You must figure this out yourself! Need help packing? You've got that business trip tonight."
"No thanks, I'll drive myself back to Bay Residence."
"You're going back to her?!" Jeffrey knew Dorothy lived at Bay Residence.
"I left some clothes there."
"I can go get them for you."
"No need." Everett's reply was curt.
His feelings were written all over his face.
Everett thought that maybe it was all just a big misunderstanding.
"Everett, listen to me this once. Don't go back! See when she'll finally reach out! You can't keep fooling yourself."
...
On the other hand, even though Kenneth was throwing a housewarming dinner, Dorothy was quiet the whole time, constantly checking her phone.
It was already half past seven. Everett should have been on his way to his business trip, right?
Didn't he notice she had left Bay Residence?
Or was that whole thing not worth a phone call for the busy Mr. Lopez?

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...
