The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 283

"Yeah, she has a daughter. She’s a real cutey." Lane turned to Jeffrey. "You didn't know?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Jeffrey shot up from his chair. The sudden movement knocked over his cup, causing it to shatter on the floor.

“She has a child?! She actually has a child?! Are you sure?!" Jeffrey felt his mind go blank. It was as if he had just been struck by lightning, once and then again.

Could it... could it be what he was thinking?

"I'm sure she does. Now will you spill it?" Lane was truly left hanging by Jeffrey's reaction.

He initially thought that if he introduced Dorothy to Jeffrey, he could possibly offer some advice. But instead, Jeffrey had caused quite a stir, and he was still in the dark about what was going on.

"How old is her daughter, do you know?"

"I think two years old."

Jeffrey's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Two years old...

Then it definitely wasn't Everett's.

They had been separated for four years and hadn't seen each other since. Jeffrey knew this because Everett had exhausted every possible channel to hear news about Dorothy but had come up empty-handed.

Jeffrey's energy, which had been so frenzied a moment ago, suddenly drained away as if he were a balloon that had been pricked.

"Is there something wrong with her being two years old? Spit it out! Are you trying to kill me with suspense?!"

Jeffrey waved his hand dismissively and took a deep breath. "You know Everett, right?"

"Of course! Who wouldn't know the CEO of Lopez Corporation? Don't tell me..."

"You guessed it." Jeffrey nodded while looking at Lane. "Dorothy is Everett's ex-girlfriend, no, ex-wife."
