The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1117

If he really wanted to leave, Mr. Lopez would've definitely called him himself!

Listening to Dorothy earlier, it didn't sound like Mr. Lopez had fainted or was out cold. As long as Mr. Lopez was conscious, there was no way Dorothy would be the one calling him!

This was probably just the boss making excuses not to leave.

[This year's bonuses are doubled.]

Everett texted back, keeping it short and sweet.

Quickly, Kevin replied: [Long live Mr. Lopez.]

Everett couldn't help but smirk, then glanced outside.

Dorothy was tidying up the couch, with Abigail and Langston playing nearby.

This scene…

He felt everything he did was worth it, and soon, he would be back with his family!

Once Dorothy took the antidote, once… she was out of danger.

"Dad! Mommy said you're feeling really bad?"

Langston must have asked Dorothy and suddenly ran into the kitchen.

Everett patted his head, smiling, "Dad's fine."

Langston pouted, "So you're pretending again just to stay?"

"…"

Although true, having his son bluntly say it out loud was still a bit embarrassing.

"Dad, how long are you gonna keep this up? Why don't you pretend to be dizzy later and just stay over?"

Everett sighed, "No can do, if I really fainted, your mom would definitely send me away."

He had to pretend to be weak.

Dorothy was stubborn and difficult to talk to, but she had a soft heart.

She wouldn't really kick him out.

…

Dorothy finished tidying up the couch and then started checking Abigail and Langston's homework.

Her life was quite fulfilling, always busy with something.
