The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 954

Karen, the rookie mom, was still all thumbs despite having had a trial run with Abigail and Langston. Luckily, having Dorothy around made her postpartum anxiety a bit more bearable.

When Everett and Jeffrey got back, Dorothy was cradling the baby, and Karen had just dozed off from sheer exhaustion.

"How come you didn't get a nanny? You should be taking it easy." Everett said, his concern for his lady evident as he approached.

Dorothy chuckled, "The little one likes me, and besides, Karen wouldn't feel at ease handing her off to a stranger."

"I'll hold him!" Jeffrey, not wanting to disturb Karen's sleep, stepped forward and reached out to Dorothy.

She carefully handed the baby over to Jeffrey, trying not to laugh at his awkwardness.

Jeffrey indeed looked lost. Fighting and brawling were one thing, but holding such a tender newborn was a whole different ball game!

"Everything sorted on your end?" Dorothy asked, more out of politeness than anything. But she caught a fleeting look of evasion in Jeffrey's eyes as he glanced at Everett.

The latter spoke softly, "Yeah, let's head back."

As Dorothy stood up, she couldn't help but shoot a curious glance at Jeffrey, ultimately swallowing her questions.

"Alright then."

The ride back was oddly silent. Dorothy didn't speak, and Everett didn't make the first move either.

It was only as they neared Eldorria City's central district that he finally broke the silence, "Dorothy, I regret not being there for Abigail and Langston when they were born."
