The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

After seeing her daughter’s tired face, Bella could only heave a long sigh.

“Sorry, it’s all my fault. I’ve dragged you down with me.”

She knew she shouldn’t always feed her daughter with fears of men. After all, she’d get married someday, but she was scared that her daughter would get hurt again out of foolishness.

“What are you talking about, Mom? After your surgery, the doctor said you might be able to walk again. Promise me you’ll make pastas

for me then. I miss it.”

“Alright Bella nodded, then suddenly thought of something. ‘Call your boyfriend over. I want to meet him.”

Dorothy was taken aback and quickly averted her gaze to peel an apple. “He’s too busy with the company”

“Just like your father back then…..”

“Mom” She interrupted softly. “Not everyone is like him.”

At least her intuition told her Everett wasn’t that type of person.

To Bella, it sounded like her daughter was defending her boyfriend. She immediately frowned and didn’t say anything else, but she also didn’t take the apple that Dorothy handed over.

Outside, the sky was gradually darkening.

With her mother taken care of, she had to return to work early the next morning. So, after her mother fell asleep, Dorothy left the hospital.

After stepping outside, she took a deep breath before hailing a taxi and heading to Everett’s place as he had instructed.

Just as she got off, her phone in her bag started ringing.

It was a number she didn’t recognize.

“Are you home?” Everett’s deep and magnetic voice was too distinctive to be mistaken.

“Yeah, I’m here.”

“I have to attend a last-minute event, so I’ll be back later. You go in first.” He paused. “The door code is 0825”

Startled by the sudden mention of the code, she hesitated before agreeing.

Upon entering, while changing her shoes, Dorothy thought that the meaning behind 0825 was probably deeper than she initially thought He didn’t remove the tattoo or change the code, which meant this person still matters to Everett.

So, when he said he needed a marriage partner, it was probably to spite this person in his heart. It was probably that lawyer named Heather that Karen mentioned.

Dorothy wasn’t sure how she felt at the moment. She was most likely being used as a substitute.

She planned to take off her coat and start working on her laptop. However, as she looked up, her gaze was drawn to a large bag of condoms sent by Everett’s assistant in the hallway.

Large was not an exaggeration. There were at least a dozen boxes in various colors.

Dorothy instinctively coughed a few times. Her face was flushed, and she quickly retreated from the area as if avoiding a virus.

On the company’s internal software, Karen immediately messaged Dorothy when she saw her online.

“Who was that male voice on the phone?” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“The hospital’s doctor” Dorothy chose not to tell her about this. It wasn’t something to be proud of. The contract was only for a year, so she should be able to keep it a secret.

After replying, she opened the files for the SinoSuccess Enterprises project and started checking them one by one.

After some time, she heard the sound of the front door unlocking.

Dorothy got up and walked over. Before she could say anything. Everett’s tall and slender figure pushed her against the wall in the living room, and then a kiss with a strong smell of alcohol overwhelmed her.

“Um… Mr. Lopez… Not here, please…”
