The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 1443

At their daughter's one-month celebration, Everett threw only a modest party.

He reasoned that a large crowd might increase the chance of germs, potentially putting their precious little girl at risk of falling ill.

"I'm feeling much better now, just a bit cooped up. I'd love some fresh air."

"Give me a sec," he replied, about to hand the baby over to the nanny. "I'll join you in a jiffy."

"Don't you worry!"

Watching Everett check over his shoulder as he left, Karen couldn't help but laugh. "Who would've thought? The once aloof and lofty Mr. Lopez is now completely transformed!
