The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

He was determined to let Dorothy know that as long as he was there, as long as he had, she could have everything.

Just like at the beginning, when Everett said—

He would indulge her whims.

Soon, half of an ice cream cone was gone. Dorothy waved it in front of Everett, batting her eyelashes, "I feel like it'd be such a waste to throw away the rest of this. It's such a shame to waste food! Maybe I could..." The next second, Everett took it from her hand and naturally popped it into his mouth.

Mmm, a strong taste of strawberry.

Sweet and delightful.

"You, you ate my leftover ice cream!" For Dorothy, his action was more shocking than her craving for the other half of the cone.

You see, Everett was a bit of a germaphobe!

Even though Dorothy had bitten the cone, it inevitably had her saliva on it.

"We agreed, you could only have half."

"What I mean is, that was leftover from me..."

"So, what about it." He knew, of course.

"

Everett smirked, reaching out to pat her head like soothing a child, "If you want, tomorrow I can allow you to have another half! You can have, but not too much. For our baby, you need to hold back, okay?" Looking at him, Dorothy suddenly felt a lump in her throat and nodded, "Okay."

Her tears fell suddenly, catching Everett off guard!

"Don't cry! I'll get you another one!"This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

He was about to leave when Dorothy quickly grabbed Everett's arm, shaking her head, "It's not the ice cream I'm craving."

"It's just that, I feel so incredibly lucky to have you."

It was as if, in this complex and cumbersome world, Everett had carved out a sanctuary for her, where she could remain a child. A carefree, eternal child.

Here, Dorothy wasn't Ms. Sanchez, not Abigail and Langston's mommy, not even someone's wife. She was just a little girl who needed constant care and affection.

As for the tears...

Maybe it was the pregnancy, but whenever she got emotional, she just couldn't control them!

Actually, Dorothy meant to laugh.

"Sigh." Everett sighed softly, pulling her into his embrace, gently rubbing her back, "The only thing that can scare me is you."

...

At Jeffrey's mansion, Karen, with her belly prominently showing, paced back and forth in the living room.

These past few days, her husband's workload had increased.

What did that imply?

Everett's workload had decreased!

So, the question was, if he wasn't at work, and not with Dorothy, where was he?

"Honey, you're making me dizzy with all that walking." Jeffrey frowned looking up, "I'm already confused with these numbers, if you're free, why don't you come help me sort this out?"

en

Karen walked over, glanced at the computer screen, and pointed, "Aren't these things supposed to be reviewed by Everett?" "Yes, but he's been busy with something else lately, passed it all to me."

"What's he been busy with?"

Jeffrey raised an eyebrow, sensing something amiss, "Why are you so interested in Everett's business?" Karen shot him a piercing look.

"Obviously because I'm worried he might cheat on Dorothy during her Dancy! What else? Do you think I've fallen for Everett?"

"Now, tell me the truth, do you know where Everett has been going when he's not at the office?"
