The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 429

Dorothy remembered the last time she heard Everett speak with such tenderness; it was because Bella insisted on taking her boyfriend to the hospital.

Back then, his tone was just like it is now–gentle, affectionate, as if he wished he could drown her in his love.

“Everett, you wouldn’t want to know the truth.”

“No, I do.” Everett cradled her face as if holding a precious gem, his gaze resolute, “Dorothy, tell me.”

He was tired of being pushed away whenever trouble brewed, of having to investigate on his own. He wanted to be Dorothy’s rock, to have her confide in him, share her grievances, bitterness, and rage, and then face it all together.

As Dorothy’s mind raced through countless possibilities, she suddenly snapped back to reality and shoved Everett hard.
