The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1159

“Huh? Did they suspect anything?”

“Relax, Dorothy said she was just picking up some stuff.”

“That’s a relief! But where could Karen have gone? She even took the baby with her, but left the nanny behind!”

Jeffrey searched around the house again, but it seemed Karen had left with practically nothing but their daughter in tow.

“Think, I’ll help you look too, along with Dorothy.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up, Jeffrey felt like slapping himself!

It had been ages since he last hit the bars. How could he have just succumbed to the temptation after a minor squabble and gone off to drown his sorrows with Wesley!

Now, his wife was gone, and so was his daughter!

Thinking of Karen’s temper, he was at his wit's end!

He had promised her he would steer clear of bars, and it wasn't that he had forgotten; he just thought a quick drink wouldn’t hurt and Karen wouldn’t need to know! Little did he imagine things would escalate to this level.

Left with no other choice, Jeffrey had to call Paloma.

“Mom… Could you call Karen, plead on my behalf?”

Knowing Karen would pick up Paloma’s call, Jeffrey held onto a sliver of hope.

...

Dorothy and Everett left Karen’s parents’ house and tried calling Karen, only to find her line busy.

“Could it be that Jeffrey has already made amends?”

“Do you really think Karen would be so easily appeased?” Everett raised an eyebrow.

Although he hadn’t spent much time with Karen, he knew her well enough to guess her reaction.

Dorothy sighed in frustration, “Definitely not. What do we do now? Her parents are clueless about the fight.”
