The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Dorothy finally got a real taste of the saying, "Open mouth, insert foot."

By the time she was completely drained, unable to even stand up for a shower, and had to be carried by Everett, she still hadn't figured it out... What exactly did she say wrong today?

They were just talking about kids.

Kids!

Right, having kids!

After Everett placed her back on the bed, Dorothy curled up in his arms and snuggled closer.

"You want to go again?"

"...No, no, no!" She shook her head like a bobblehead, "I just wanted to ask, how do you feel about Jeffrey having another daughter?"

Everett propped his arm under her as a pillow, pulling her close to his chest, the other hand gently stroking her hair.

"Feel?" He actually took a moment to think, "I feel like karma really does come around."

Jeffrey used to date so many women, never taking responsibility, and now karma has gifted him with two daughters, keeping him on his toes, worried day and night.

"..." Dorothy was speechless, frowning, "That's not the kind of feeling I was talking about!"

Everett smiled, lowering his gaze to her face, "I know what you mean. You want to make up for what I'm missing, right?"

"Yeah!"

"Dorothy, I've said it before, as long as I have you, Abigail, and Langston, I'm not missing out on anything."

Dorothy sat up abruptly, "You've said before that you wanted to be the first to see our child being born."

"More than that, I want to see you safe and sound." Everett grasped her hand gently, "Carrying a child for nine months is too draining for you! Don't you want to start your own business? If you get pregnant now, your plans will have to be put on hold indefinitely." After all, besides the nine months of pregnancy, he wouldn't allow her to start working right after giving birth anyway.

Moreover...

After the poisoning incident with Quincy, Everett was truly scared.

He used to think he was fearless, nothing could possibly scare him

But now, there were too many things he was worried and fearful of

They say the delivery room is a woman's walk through the shadow of death, and Everett didn't want Dorothy to go through that again.

She had already done enough for him.

"I can do some simple tasks during my pregnancy! I was working all the way through when I was pregnant with Abigail and Langston."

"Dorothy, Jeffrey has two kids, I also have two, that's enough for me, I don't want more."

This was the first time Everett really made his thoughts clear to Dorothy.

He had thought about saying it

before, but considering Det

feelings might not have fully

recovered, he didn't want to bring up such a serious topic.

"But... but..."

"Seems like you still have some energy left, how about... one more round?"

Dorothy quickly lay down, pulling the blanket over herself, "Going to sleep, goodnight."

Everett smiled, watching her close her eyes, and due to sheer exhaustion, she fell asleep almost immediately! He gently stroked her cheek.

What is regret?

Maybe he had some before, because the journey with Dorothy had been so full of hardships!

The more he wanted, the more he sought, it turned into an obsession.

But now, being able to fully have her, there were no regrets left.
