The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1131

After meeting with Quincy, Dorothy took a ride back to her home.

Her face was expressionless as she went on a cleaning spree – wiping down the living room, tidying up the master bedroom from inside out, re-washing the dishes, scrubbing the fridge, cleaning the table, doing the laundry...

It was as if she had to finish all the household chores today.

Finally, running out of chores to do, Dorothy changed her clothes and went to pick up Abigail and Langston from school.

Arriving early, with an hour to spare before school let out, Dorothy sat on a bench at the school's entrance and waited.

As time ticked by, at last, Abigail and Langston came out of the school.

Seeing their mom, Abigail was the first to run over and hug her, "Mommy! How come you're here?"

Dorothy wrapped her arms around her, then looked up at her son, "Langston, don't you want a hug too?"

"I don't want to. That's what girls do," Langston said, glancing around as if he was expecting someone else to show up.

Dorothy squeezed his hand, "Stop waiting. Your dad is getting married to someone else. He won't be coming back."

"That's impossible—" Langston blurted out, then quickly held back, realizing it sounded off, "Dad never said that."

"Who is dad marrying?" Abigail also looked up at her mom, puzzled.

Dorothy stroked her head, "Well, it's not with mommy."

"Then I'm going to ask dad why! What if I miss him after he gets married?"

This time, Dorothy didn't stop her and even handed her the phone.

"Go ahead, ask him."

Langston frowned, sensing something was off. This didn't seem like the plan his dad had mentioned.

Before he could speak, Abigail had already dialed the number.
