The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1591

"Look, you can say no if you want to. I'm not forcing you to listen to me," Everett said, his tone serious, a stark contrast to the light-hearted banter you might expect. "If you want to cling to what you call your pride, refusing to seize the opportunity laid out in front of you, that's your choice. But let me be clear—I won't see it as a sign of integrity or responsibility. To me, it just shows you're all talk, lacking the grit and determination to move forward."

You have to admit, Everett had a way with words.

He effectively cornered Craig, leaving him no room to argue about not accepting help.

After a brief silence, Craig finally spoke up, "Thanks."

Everett clapped him on the shoulder, a firm, reassuring gesture. "Craig, letting your lady struggle alongside you is the real shame for a man. Everything else is secondary."

Craig looked up, meeting Everett's gaze, and nodded solemnly.

"I get it now."

Felicity had never been to an obstetrician's office before.

The moment she walked in, even before she saw the doctor, she felt bewildered.

Wearing sunglasses and a mask, she looked around nervously every few steps as if she was on a secret mission.

After undergoing a series of tests, including blood work and urine samples, she finally took a seat, waiting for the results.

Glancing at her phone, she noticed a couple of unread messages on WhatsApp.

Calvin was asking if she could crunch some numbers for him that evening, and Miles was wondering if she'd be back at the office in the afternoon.

Her fingers hesitated over the screen for a moment, but Felicity didn't reply to any of the messages, choosing instead to put her phone away.

Her mind was preoccupied with the pending test results, leaving her feeling anxious.

After what felt like an eternity, her name finally flashed on the screen, indicating her results were ready.

Felicity stood up immediately, collected her results, but couldn't make heads or tails of them!

She knocked on the doctor's door, saying, "Hello, these are my test results."

"Alright."
