The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1077

"That's great, Kenneth, I'm genuinely happy for you."

Of course, Dorothy didn't want to see Kenneth hobbling around for the rest of his life. He was such a proud man, accomplished too. Who would want to see him disabled?

"Looks like you haven't been eating well lately, lost your appetite?"

"Maybe, work's been hectic."

"No matter how busy work gets, you can't skip meals! If you lose any more weight, you're going to start looking gaunt."

Dorothy chuckled, "Well, gaunt it is then."

Did she even care about her looks anymore?

Kenneth's gaze lingered on Dorothy, and after a long moment, he sighed.

"Dorothy, you're still trying to act tough."

Startled, Dorothy didn't respond.

"Fighting with Everett? Or is he... not treating you right?"

"No, we're good," she quickly replied, fearing Kenneth might probe further.

But Dorothy underestimated how well Kenneth knew her.

After all, how could she hide anything from the man who had his heart set on her?

"Don't lie to me. The more you do, the more I worry. Just be honest with me." Kenneth's voice grew heavier, and his eyes fell, "In fact, when Jeffrey deliberately mentioned you in front of me, I knew something was off because he usually wouldn't bring you up."

"..."

"He thinks he's being sly, but not only me, Karen can see through him too! Still, we're clueless about what exactly happened between you two."

Dorothy quickly said, "It's nothing, really. Just a little argument, and it's all good now."

"You're definitely not okay."

"..."
