Everett’s mind clearly didn’t approach this one. He paused for several seconds before gently patting Dorothy's hand, "Your health isn't the best right now. I do want another child, but not under these circumstances."
He was still unsure about the extent of the poison lingering in her system. Talking about having a child now felt almost like a death sentence to her.
"Oh." She muttered.
Everett had made his stance clear, and knowing Dorothy, she wasn't one to push back.
But that night, she seemed less than cooperative with Everett.
After one attempt, Dorothy claimed she was too tired. She retreated to the bathroom for a shower, and then curled up under the covers to sleep.
Everett had a hunch about what was bothering her, but didn’t know what to do.
He could just take a cold shower to cool off.
...
The next morning, by the time Dorothy woke up, Everett had already left for the office.
Still, he had taken the time to prepare oatmeal, keeping it warm, and left her a note.
Their relationship seemed to have momentarily regressed to their early cohabitation days.
[I dropped off Abigail and Langston at school. Have breakfast when you wake up, then get in touch with Kevin. Everett.]
Dorothy carefully preserved the note, and then made her way to the dining room to eat while calling Kevin, "Did Everett tell you about me taking over the project?"

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...
