Call it wishful thinking or overthinking, either way, Dorothy decided to lay it all out on the table.
That revelation left Kenneth a bit stunned.
"I don't care about any of that."
He was firm in his response.
Actually, from the moment he first laid eyes on Dorothy, Kenneth was deeply impressed! Coupled with his sister always singing her praises, he found himself growing more and more interested in the girl.
But because he had a steady girlfriend before, he didn’t entertain any other thoughts. However, after breaking up, when his sister suggested setting him up with Dorothy, he admitted that he was very interested.
It wasn’t just because Dorothy was pretty, but more so because of her strong spirit, which made him want to protect her.
“But I do care.” She stated calmly, “I want an equal marriage, but under these circumstances, I can only become a burden to a family.”
“How can that be? Even if your mom needs a few more surgeries, it’s just a few million at most! My family can totally afford it.” Kenneth’s tone was somewhat urgent, “If this is the only reason why you’re keeping me at arm’s length, then there’s no need!”
Dorothy shook her head, “You don’t understand what I mean.”
“I do understand!” Kenneth looked unusually anxious, “My parents don’t care about all that social status stuff, and as for the several million in medical fees, we can give it to you as a cash gift! I mean, I have to give one when I get married anyway.”
“Mr. Nelson, besides money, can you tolerate my mother calling you at all hours? Even when you’re in class, in a meeting, or even when you’re tired from working overtime and haven’t slept for days, you must go immediately, or you’ll be scolded to high heavens.”
“I can!”
“That’s because you haven’t experienced it.”
Dorothy knew her mother all too well. She wouldn’t have let go of her daughter's marriage so easily.
The way she has tormented herself over the years, she would have done the same to her son-in-law.

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
