The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1063

Eleanor finally understood.

It wasn't about whether she wanted to take responsibility or not. It was that... she didn't even qualify to do so.

They didn't need her at all!

"Kenneth, I don't know whether to call you passionate or heartless. Are you really this hung up on her? Even though she's been sharing her bed with another man and has kids with someone else, you're willing to spend your life waiting?"

Eleanor just couldn't wrap her head around it.

She had loved her ex too, thought she'd never love anyone else. But she moved on, found a new boyfriend, and gradually let go.

But why was Kenneth so adamant about Dorothy?

"I'm not waiting for her. I'm waiting for my heart to be ready to accept someone else."

"...And what if you never get over her?"

"Then I guess fate's been too cruel to me," Kenneth said with a smile. "I'll just have to stay single."

Otherwise, any girl who ends up with me is just getting a raw deal.

Eleanor wanted to say more, but it felt pointless to open her mouth.

Could she change Kenneth?

Clearly not.

All the setbacks and hurt hadn't made him give up on Dorothy, so what was she in comparison?

Eleanor fell silent for a while, then chuckled, "Alright, then I won't keep you from waiting for her. I hope you do end up with Dorothy one day."

Kenneth looked at her, actually nodding in agreement.

"Yeah, I hope so too."

...

Everett finally left.

Dorothy had thought maybe their relationship could improve, but it only got worse.

She regretted insisting on living with Everett. If... if she hadn't insisted on sharing the spare bedroom, maybe Everett could've gone back to Bay Residence?
