The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 962

"Can I just ask you one thing? Is that okay?" she asked.

"Go ahead."

Dorothy chuckled, "Would you ever... leave me behind?"

After all, she had nothing to her name, not a single thing that would deem her worthy of Everett.

She had always guarded her heart, prepared for the moment he would leave her for someone of his own social standing. So, even if he were to abandon her, she wouldn't be shocked; she would be just a bit heartbroken.

But now, she had committed herself to him, so her fear was tagging along for the ride.

This fear of loss was new to Dorothy.

Upon hearing her words, Everett's handsome face stiffened, his expression turning grave.

"Dorothy, I won't allow you to harbor such doubts."

"But I need to hear it from you," she insisted, locking her gaze with his deep eyes. "I trust you that you wouldn't lie to me."

Everett put on a serious look, and his voice resonated with conviction, "I would never leave you behind, Dorothy. You are more precious to me than my own life."

Dorothy smiled, leaning in to kiss his cheek. "Don't be mad. I'm not questioning you or distrust you; I just needed to hear you say it!"

Every time he spoke such earnest, heartfelt words, her heart swelled with sweetness, making any future storms seem less frightening.

After all, she had him. Forever and always.
