The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 1374

Langston was always one for a bit of excitement, spreading his arms in a shrug.

"Don't believe me? Ask Dad. Can he be sure if Mom's got a little brother or sister for us in there?"

Abigail immediately turned to Everett.

For once, he was at a loss for words.

It was true. There was no certainty.

Luckily, Dorothy stepped in to smooth things over. She patted her daughter's head gently and said in a soothing voice, "Abigail, if it's a sister, you two can share pretty dresses. And if it's a brother, he can join Langston in looking out for you. How great is that?" "Really?"

"Of course! You are the precious girl of the family. As the men of the house, your brothers would always protect you. Whatever you wish for, they'll try their best to give you!" Abigail was finally coming around to the idea of having another sibling, but just as Langston was about to add his two cents, Dorothy shot him a warning look.

"Are you looking to be grounded from your computer today?"

That hit a nerve. Langston could go a day without talking, but not a day without his computer.

Later that evening, after dinner, the family sat out in the yard for a bit before Everett went to tuck Abigail and Langston into bed.

He tiptoed out of the room once he thought the kids were asleep.

No sooner had Everett left than Abigail's eyes snapped open!
