The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1267

"Go freshen up! Langston traced Lane's phone IP on his computer. If he's not back, how am I supposed to figure it out?" She wasn't exactly a tech wizard.

No sooner had Dorothy finished speaking than Everett, with his long strides, was heading towards Langston's room.

She quickly grabbed him, "You're going in there... into a kid's room like this?"

It was only when Dorothy pointed it out that Everett realized he was covered in blood...
