The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 528

“So, about him…”

“Why do you have to pry so much? Don’t you already know what’s between us?” Dorothy wished to close the book on this topic, because if it wasn’t making anyone happy, why dwell on it? She felt like Kenneth’s kindness towards her was something that could never be erased, and she didn’t want to lie to Everett about that.

“Alright, I won’t ask.” Everett kept his gaze fixed on her. “When do you think is the best time to pick up Abigail and Langston? You decide.”

He had initially thought about having Kevin drop them off, but after giving it some thought, he figured he should consult Dorothy. It would be disrespectful to make such a decision without her input.

“Let’s wait a few more days, okay?”

Of course, Dorothy longed to see her children and would have loved to have them with her immediately!

But there was a part of her that was apprehensive and fearful about how to break the news to Kenneth, especially since Langston had been with him for so long–longer than she had been with the child herself.
