The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"Kenneth, did you pop by the hospital today? Something wrong?" Sienna's face lit up with concern as she greeted her son returning home. Lately, she's been extra cautious about Kenneth's state of mind, always greeting him with a smile, careful not to let any hint of her own worries show.
