"I haven't been in touch with Tristan for, like, centuries, I told him that!"
As Karen's temper began to flare, Dorothy quickly stepped in to soothe her.
"Hey, hey, easy, Karen. If not for anything else, think about the bun in the oven, huh? The doc says you need to chill and take care of yourself, or else..."
Karen pursed her lips tightly, and then, after a long pause, she let out a soft sigh. "If only Jeffrey could be half as level-headed as Everett. Sometimes I swear that guy's still in short pants."
If anyone else had said that, Dorothy would've nodded in agreement.
But coming from Karen...
"You're not exactly the picture of maturity yourself compared to Jeffrey."
They were like two kids playing house.
Karen pouted. "Well, at least I don't go around throwing punches like he does, acting all innocent afterward! Every time he does that, it feels like we're worlds apart."
Jeffrey had zero respect for others, let alone any kind of moral compass. If he liked someone, they could do no wrong in his eyes. But if he didn't? He'd run them into the ground.
Karen was afraid that one day, Jeffrey's ways would lead to disaster.
"Don't get all worked up. No matter what, Jeffrey cares about you, and that's enough."
"Dorothy, do you think Jeffrey and I will make it to the end? I'm really... I just have no clue."
"Who can tell these things? You just keep walking the path to find out." Dorothy offered a comforting smile.
"Like me and Everett, do you think we'll last?"
Karen blinked, taken aback. "I guess... You guys seem so in love."
But Dorothy shook her head. "I don't think so."

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...
