The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1072

At that moment, Dorothy almost wanted to laugh.

A few years back, she was the one who had said, "Let's get a divorce."

And now, years later, it was he who uttered the words "let's break up."

Indeed.

It was a breakup, not a divorce.

She hadn't remarried Everett, nor had he taken her back. Between Everett and Dorothy, there was no marital bond.

Even with Abigail and Langston in the picture, they weren't husband and wife.

After what felt like an eternity of silence, Dorothy finally spoke with a hoarse voice, "Is it just because of your mother?"

"What else could it be?"

"Is there... any other reason?"

Like, Quincy's involvement.

Everett frowned, "Just say what you want to say."

"Quincy." Dorothy didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, especially since hearing Everett say they were breaking up had already left her heart ice cold.

He wouldn't just say those words lightly.

Everett reflexively asked, "What does she have to do with anything?"

"So, after we break up, are you going to marry her?"

"…That's none of your business."

Dorothy cracked a smile, "Everett, don't you find life interesting? Initially, your parents wanted you to marry her, and you refused. You made me believe in you, to be with you. Now that your mother has passed away, you suddenly want to listen to your parents."

She wasn't hysterical, contrary to what she had anticipated.

Dorothy had imagined if the endgame with Everett was parting ways, she'd be devastated.

But when it actually came down to it, she wasn't.

Instead, she felt calm, almost amused.
