The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Could Everett really be oblivious to the subtext in Kenneth's words?

It was clear as day that Kenneth was trying to lump himself and Dorothy together, leaving Everett out in the cold.

Such games might have irked him in the past, made him jealous even, but now-

Dorothy was his, heart and soul. Why would he bother with such petty squabbles anymore?

"What do you think?" Instead of a direct answer, Kenneth threw the question back at him.

Everett just smiled, "Dorothy isn't just anyone, she's my wife."

"Wife?" Kenneth's defenses crumbled at that word, "You guys made it official?"

"Not yet, but it's in the pipeline." Everett looked him dead in the eye, his words deliberate and heavy with meaning, "We'll make sure you get an invite to the wedding." "I thought you two had broken up?"

Bringing that up was a self-inflicted humiliation for Kenneth.

Their presence together today was proof enough of their relationship status.

The moment Kenneth mentioned their breakup, Everett's smile widened, his tall frame imposing as he casually leaned in, a subtle smirk playing at the corner of his eyes.
