The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1256

"Kenneth has been hung up on her for years. There's no way he'd just let go that easily."

Byte 7 was an easy catch because he was more enamored with Dorothy's looks than anything else, plus he fancied the idea of dating someone who could be like a sister to him. It wasn't about Dorothy herself.

But Kenneth, he's a different story. He's been waiting for Dorothy for years.

Let's put it this way…

If I hadn't made my move early, who knows? If Kenneth had made the first move, he might have been the one by Dorothy's side right now.

"But man, I'm in a tough spot here, I can’t just tell Karen to stop seeing Kenneth!" Jeffrey really wanted to help his buddy out.

But with the way things were, it was hard for him to intervene.

He was afraid he might end up making things worse and get an earful from Karen Miller.

"It's okay, I get it." How could Everett not understand the difficult position Jeffrey was in?

Besides, strictly speaking.

Everett didn't really need to worry about any so-called rival, because Dorothy was never going to fall for anyone else. She was his and his alone.

But still…

Jealousy is a tricky thing to control.

"I'll keep an eye on Quincy for you, let you know if there's any progress. And if she reaches out to you, give me a heads up so I can stop worrying."

"Sure thing."

After hanging up, Everett took a deep breath and stepped out of the bedroom.

In the kitchen, Dorothy was brewing some coffee.

Abigail and Langston were already lost in their own world of play.

"Done with your call?"

"Yeah."
