Quincy couldn't imagine marrying as a sacrifice to her family!
Even though the Quincy family had raised her, marriage was for life. Quincy wasn't about to rush into it only to end up in a swift divorce once the two families had no more use for each other.
She knew it all too well.
And truth be told, her social standing didn't exactly make her an ideal match for Everett.
But compared to Dorothy, she had a slight edge.
Deep down, she was also painfully aware that Everett would never fall for her.
If... if she ended up falling for Everett, she'd be ruining her entire life.
After all, he was irreplaceable.
“I haven't pressured your family, Quincy, what are you talking about? You know how close I am with your dad!” Jonathan merely laughed, outright denying any involvement.
But Quincy wasn't surprised. She had decided to confront the issue head-on, anticipating these very responses.
The back-and-forth, the silent battles of the business world were beyond Quincy. Subtlety wasn't her strong suit; it would likely be thrown right back in her face.
“Let's just agree to disagree then. Just please, stop talking about me marrying Everett, promise me that.”
“I haven’t pressured your family, that's the truth. But wanting you to become part of our family, the Lopez family, that's also true!” Jonathan took a deep breath and continued, “I thought once the lawsuit was over, if Dorothy could just calm down, I'd let it be. But—Dorothy's just too stubborn! If I back down now, wouldn't the Lopez family be at her mercy from then on?”
“But Mr. Lopez doesn't have me in his heart.”
“Once you're married, over time, feelings will develop!” Jonathan looked into her eyes, a slight curve to his lips, “You can see, my son is stubborn. If he falls in love, he's incredibly devoted. Don't you want to be that person he’s devoted to?”

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...
