The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 917

Everett had been the one looking after the kids lately, so he had become quite the pro at soothing little ones.

Seeing Dorothy's furrowed brow, he reached over and smoothed it out forcefully.

"I'm not Abigail and Langston."

"You're right; you're not." Everett chuckled. "Abigail and Langston are much more obedient than you are."

Dorothy said nothing.

He pulled out his phone, scrolled through his photo album, and handed it over to her. "I've documented every day. I told them Mommy's sick and needs some rest, so they won't be surprised if you come back to Bay Residence now."

Taking the phone, Dorothy browsed through a few videos and then it hit her.

"So, you never planned on giving up on me?"

"Of course I've thought about it! Every time you made me mad, I thought, 'I'm never going to fall for this heartless woman again.'"

There was a hint of playful resentment in Everett's tone, a stark contrast to his handsome face.

Dorothy couldn't help but laugh as her gaze returned to the videos.

Everett took great care of them. In the videos, he was always holding Abigail with Langston sitting beside him as he told them stories or read from a book.

It was so harmonious and adorable.

It was a family atmosphere Dorothy had never experienced before.

As a child, she often fantasized about having loving parents who would take her to and from school, where she could be daddy’s little girl and share her school stories with her mom.

But those were dreams of her early elementary school years.

After middle school, she stopped dreaming, even wishing at times for Maxton to just pass away earlier. Perhaps her mother could finally let go and heal if he did.

As Dorothy scrolled, a notification popped up at the top of the screen. It noted a message from Quincy.

She hadn't meant to snoop. But the message was right there on the unlocked screen.
