The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 943

Everett and Dorothy were acutely aware of how hard it was for them to make it this far, to reach a place where their relationship could finally bloom and bear fruit.

But, after all the hardships, it seemed they were finally at the point where they could say the worst was behind them.

Better days were ahead!

Looking at Everett, Dorothy felt the urge to drop the lawsuit peaking.

What if... just what if letting go could mean they could be together? They’d be like Jeffrey and Karen, a happy family filled with joy and laughter.

"Everett..." She started softly.

"Hmm?" Everett looked down at her with concern in his eyes. "Something wrong?"

Dorothy shook her head, "I—"

Before she could finish, Jeffrey came over. He was holding his daughter and beaming with pride, "Everett! Look at my girl, doesn't she look just like me? She does, right?"

Everett, understanding his joy of the moment, couldn't help but smile resignedly, "Yeah, she does look like you."

"I knew it! How could my daughter not resemble me!?" Jeffrey exclaimed.

Derek and Serena also managed to smile, their cheeks still glistening with tears not yet dried.

It was a scene that felt like a narrow escape from disaster, moving anyone who witnessed it.

"Dorothy, what were you about to say?" Everett hadn't forgotten her interrupted words.

Dorothy smiled slightly, "I'll tell you later. Karen's about to come out."

It was Karen and her daughter's moment to shine, not the time for their discussion.

"Alright."

...

Karen felt as if she had just walked through death's door. In her delirious state, all she could hear were the doctor's footsteps and someone exclaiming, "The patient is hemorrhaging!"

"Karen... thank you, thank you for giving me our daughter!"

She could tell Jeffrey's voice, which was choked with tears.

Karen frowned slightly, and she felt her throat dry. Despite her discomfort, she couldn't resist teasing Jeffrey, "You... a grown man, so stop crying. You look like a pussy."

"I'll cry if I want to!" At that moment, Jeffrey couldn't care less about appearances. The heavy weight in his heart had finally lifted.

"Did you see our daughter? Does she look like me?" Karen knew Jeffrey too well; his emotions were always an open book.

"Not like you, like me! She's my daughter, so of course she looks like me!" Jeffrey protested.

At that, Karen frowned.

So Jeffrey quickly backtracked, "She looks like you! Don't be mad, she looks like you!"

Everyone around them laughed at Jeffrey's low family status, but no one dared to interrupt this tender moment between husband and wife.
