The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1133

In my mind, Dorothy’s cooking never seemed to pack such a punch.

Perhaps sensing Everett's hesitation as he fumbled with his fork, Dorothy looked up, her gaze meeting his, "Not to your taste?"

"No, it's delicious."

He offered a small smile, then returned to his meal.

At that moment, Everett wouldn’t dare to criticize. Who knew what he’d have to face later?

They continued eating in silence until Dorothy suddenly spoke up.

"The dish is a bit salty."

"...A little."

"Want some water? Let me get you a glass."

Everett, pleasantly surprised, started to stand, "I can get it."

"No, you sit. I’ve got it."

With that, Dorothy turned and walked into the kitchen.

Soon, she came back with two glasses of water, pushing one towards Everett.

"Good thing I didn't make this for Abigail and Langston. Too much salt isn't good for the kids' stomachs." Dorothy's tone was as casual as if she was discussing the weather, a stark contrast to the cold demeanor she had when Everett first walked in.

After he finished his water and set the glass on the table, he assured, "It's okay, I enjoyed it."

"Then why break up?"

"..."

Everett hadn’t expected to be blindsided by that question here.

"Everett, you falling for Quincy is hard for me to believe. Didn’t you once say you were a bit of a neat freak?" Her lips twitched into a smile as she put down her fork, "I’m not wrong, am I?"
