The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Sienna's slap startled Karen more than it hurt her.

It wasn't the physical pain that frightened her; it was the fear that Dorothy would overthink and shoulder the blame herself.

Jeffrey sighed, "I admit I didn't understand before, but now... I've come to understand Dorothy a bit more."

Karen glanced at him while dialing on her phone.

Jeffrey offered a wry smile, "Yeah, she's as sensitive and tough to deal with as you said."

Besides Everett, Karen was the one who truly understood Dorothy.

At 2 a.m., Everett parked his car in front of the Bay Residence.

He hesitated to go in right away since the living room lights were on.

Unsure if Dorothy was asleep.

After waiting for a while and noticing no movement inside, Everett got out of the car and unlocked the door. When Abigail called saying she missed him, Everett yearned to rush back home and hold his daughter tight.

She was his treasure. He couldn't bear to see her frown.

Pushing the door open, the first thing Everett saw was Dorothy curled up on the living room sofa.

Her posture suggested she had been sleeping there for the past few nights.

Everett's lips tightened as he unconsciously moved towards her.
