The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 425

Everett furrowed his brows, tuming around to lock eyes with her, their gazes ensnaring each other in a silent battle.

His gaze was fiery, laden with a sincerity that seemed to threaten to pull Dorothy into its depths entirely!

“Everett…”

Annoyance clenched at Dorothy’s teeth, “What exactly are you playing at? When we divorced, you said that you hated me. What now? Has the mighty Mr. Lopez decided to go back on his word? After being dumped by me once, are you really going to shamelessly chase after me again?”

Perhaps her words were too harsh, as Everett’s handsome face paled slightly, a flicker of rationality returning to his eyes.
