The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 257

Everett was practically studying her name. His gaze was deepening, and an indescribable feeling was stirring within him.

Just as he'd resolved to let go, fate had orchestrated another encounter with her.

What did it mean?

"Mr. Lopez? Would you like me to further investigate Ms. Sanchez's activities over these past years?" Kevin asked cautiously.

He couldn't figure out what Everett was thinking, and he dared not guess. After all, Ms. Sanchez was a sensitive topic for him.

"No need." Everett paused for a few seconds before adding, "Not for now."

He needed to think clearly about what he should do and what he truly wanted.

After hanging up the phone, Everett poured himself a glass of red wine, then strode towards the floor-to-ceiling windows of his hotel room.

The small town was very quiet at night, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Everett took a sip of his wine. The tart taste washed over his palate and trickled down his throat as he slowly lost himself in thought.

The breeze wafting through the window brought him to his senses.

Reason dictated that, since he had made up his mind to give up Dorothy, he shouldn't change his mind so easily.

Seeing Dorothy again was a test of his resolve.

That was right. This was just a test.

Feeling that the wind wasn't strong enough to clear his mind, Everett set down his wine glass, threw on a random jacket, and left his room.

Down on the hotel's ground floor, the night wind blew stronger due to the absence of pedestrians and vehicles. The tall trees on either side of the road didn't provide much shelter, making the wind feel even more powerful.

Powerful enough to bring him some answers.

Everett stood there on the road in front of the hotel. His tall figure seemed somewhat lonely as his jacket flapped in the wind, like it was trying to break free.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching.
