The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1166

"Alright, fantastic! I might not have the power to end you, but I sure as heck can make you too exhausted to ever leave bed again!"

Karen wanted to retort, but her words were stolen by a kiss that left her speechless.

Had she known it would come to this, she would've never let Jeffrey through the door!

The man was completely unreasonable.

...

Downstairs, Dorothy leaned against Everett's shoulder in the car, occasionally glancing towards the apartment window, curious if there was any sign of activity.

Everett softly stroked her hair, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Stop waiting, those two won't be coming out anytime soon."

"Why?" Dorothy blinked, concern lacing her tone. "Jeffrey... he wouldn't hit Karen, would he?"

She still remembered the incident where Jeffrey had gotten into a fight with Karen's ex-boyfriend.

He wouldn't lay a hand on a woman, would he?

With that worrying thought, Dorothy immediately reached for the car door.

Everett quickly grabbed her, "Where do you think you're going?"

"It's been too long without any word. Something feels off! I better go up and check."

"If you go now, I doubt anyone will be in the mood to open the door for you."

Hearing this only unsettled Dorothy more.

"Do you think they might actually be fighting?" Dorothy rummaged through her purse and pulled out a set of keys. "Good thing I brought these. Come with me, I might not be able to pull Jeffrey away on my own."

After all, he was a man, and Dorothy feared she might not be strong enough to protect Karen.

"Neither of us is going up," Everett remained calm, showing no intention of moving.

Since Jeffrey had gone up, and they hadn't heard anything for half an hour, he had a pretty good guess what was happening upstairs.

It was only because Dorothy wouldn't want to leave that he hadn't driven off to deal with work.

"Why not?"
