The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1003

He didn't answer her question but instead offered a straightforward solution.

"Why should I?"

"It'll stop you from overthinking," Everett said, gently stroking her hair. "Sweetheart, have you decided where we're going for our date?"

With just a few words, he had labeled Dorothy as an overthinker.

It was as though pursuing the matter further would only show her lack of understanding.

Dorothy looked at Everett, sighed softly after a long pause.

"Everett, I feel like I'm not even myself anymore."

"Oh?"

"Sorry, please don't think I'm overly suspicious, okay? It's not that I don't trust you, it's just... I'm afraid of losing what we have." Dorothy ended up blaming herself for everything.

She thought she was being too sensitive.

Everett had repeatedly assured her he would never choose Quincy over her, his disdain for Quincy evident in his eyes. Yet here she was, questioning him over and over again, which surely wasn't right.

After all, the only reason he had any contact with Quincy now was because of her own insecurities.

Everett stood up straight, avoiding Dorothy's gaze as if unsure how to face her.

He seemed to prefer her making a scene rather than apologizing.
