The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1345

Hearing Karen's words, Dorothy was torn between laughter and tears.

It was clear to see that Karen had way too much time on her hands, spending her days plotting away!

"Do you think... Everett will be mad when he finds out?" Dorothy, always one to overthink, was internally conflicted about going through with such a plan.

"No way!" Karen replied with certainty, "How could Everett ever be mad at you?"

Her response came naturally, without a hint of hesitation, as if it were a universally acknowledged truth.

Right...

Why would Everett be mad at Dorothy?

After all, he had forgiven her for far more serious matters in the past.

"Dorothy, this is also about wanting Everett to have no regrets, right? If it were solely up to you, I reckon you wouldn't even be thinking about having another child."

"Yeah, not being able to watch two kids grow up has always been a sore spot for Everett."

Even the slightest mention of it seemed to reopen old wounds.

Karen patted her shoulder, "Go for it! You two have such great genes, it'd be a waste not to have more kids!"

Dorothy smiled, glancing at Karen's gradually growing belly, and gently asked, "Are you planning on having another boy with Jeffrey?"

After all...

Though the Turners and the Lopezes might be in a different league, they were still prominent families. Jeffrey being an only child, Dorothy could understand if his parents wanted a son to inherit the family fortune.

At the mention, Karen immediately waved her hand, "Unless it's a surprise, we weren't planning on this one either!"
