The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 963

"It’s just because Langston's got those top-notch genes that I'm worried that too many girls will chase after him. In that case, our little girl's gonna get her heart trampled in the stampede!"

"If Langston takes after Everett, and he's got eyes only for our girl, then we won't have to worry about any other girls getting a look in!" Karen rolled her eyes, "Look at Everett, when has he ever given Dorothy a moment's worry over such matters? What you should be fretting over is if our daughter ends up in your nature, becoming a real heartbreaker and letting Langston down."

Jeffrey had no clue how the conversation had veered from deciding on their daughter's name to this. And he was getting a backhanded compliment for his trouble out of the blue.

"Hey, I'm loyal, alright? Once you came into the picture, have I even glanced at another woman?"

It was an injustice for him! Having more exes didn't mean he wasn't devoted! And to think, he hadn't even started on Karen coming into his life so late. Had they met earlier, he could have been just loyal to a fault like Everett.

"We've only been together a short while, so maybe you're just still in the honeymoon phase."

Before Jeffrey could retort, Karen just cut him off, "Don't bother swearing your fidelity now. We’ll see. I don't buy into men’s sweet nothings, and if things go south, I won't cling or blame you."

That was her stance on love: if it's meant to be, it'll stay; no use crying over spilled milk.

Jeffrey blinked, and then his handsome face scrunched up.

"Sweetheart, can we drop this topic? Let's get back to the name discussion." He said.

"What's there to talk about?" Karen stood up, lifting their daughter from the crib, "I just regret that my darling girl was born under a lucky star for love, only for her dad to jinx it! Right, Felicity?"

Jeffrey got nothing to say.

"Your brother Langston is such a heartthrob! Just you wait till you're old enough, you'll be hanging out with the cool kids too."

Jeffrey pouted, "Praising Langston's looks is just a roundabout way of complimenting Everett. You think he's more handsome than me?"
