The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Jeffrey had little faith in the whole affair, a stark contrast to Karen's attitude.

"Think about it, Langston comes from an impressive background, has looks, wealth - everything. The girls trailing behind him could form a line. And you're okay with handing over your daughter to him?" "But there's a whole bunch of women who'd kill to be with Everett, enough to circle the globe three times, but he's still dead set on Dorothy, ain't he?" Jeffrey stomped his foot in frustration. "Everett's an exception! How many guys do you know like him?" Karen scoffed, "Don't think I don't know what's really bugging you. It's that curse Arthur mentioned, right? But think about it, Langston grew up in a loving home. He's bound to be faithful. Even if we're talking genetics, Dorothy and Everett are both loyal to the core."

"Knowing yourself, that's what counts," Karen quipped.

"Babe...I'm sorry..." Karen waved him off, "Let it be. Whatever happens when they grow up, who knows? Maybe Langston won't even fancy our daughter.
