The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 24

Dorothy knew she should remind Everett that Bay Residence was his own home, and her coming along didn't mean she was moving in.

But when she opened her mouth, no sound came out.

Just once, she wanted to indulge herself and savor a moment of tenderness that belonged to another woman.

"Okay, let's go home."

…

Perhaps because he was so tired the day before, for once, Everett didn't wake up at six.

When Dorothy opened her eyes, the man beside her was still asleep.

His hand was lightly draped over her waist, and his body was slightly tilted.

The occasional movement of the curtain allowed sunlight to spill onto his deep-set features, a sight so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off.

If only she was the one he cared about…

That would be wonderful.

This thought suddenly sprouted out of nowhere. It startled Dorothy, so she quickly got out of bed.

She didn't know how she could have such thoughts.

Indeed, once people tasted sweetness, they would become greedy.

After washing her face with cold water, Dorothy discarded these thoughts and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Everett.

In both emotion and reason, she should thank him.

Just as the porridge started to boil, Everett woke up.

Still in his black silk robe, his messy hair made him less intimidating and more approachable.

She relaxed a bit and smiled at him. "Breakfast will be ready soon. How would you like your eggs?"

"Medium." Everett didn't sit down like a boss. Instead, he helped her bring the toast out of the toaster.
