The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 587

"Everett..."

"I owe him some thanks," Everett said, curling his lips slightly. "Don't worry, it's just a thank-you visit."

How could he dare do anything to Kenneth?

In the restaurant, with Everett and Dorothy stepping out for a moment, it left only Jeffrey and Karen with the two kids again.

Karen pulled out chairs for Abigail and Langston before seating herself between them.

Seeing that, Jeffrey took the seat next to Langston.

"Mr. Turner, you wanna swap seats?" Langston asked with a mischievous arch of his brow.

"No need, I'm good here," Jeffrey replied, aware that his earlier temper tantrum with her phone might have been too much. So he kept quiet, trying to behave.

Karen, as if she couldn't see him, was busily digging in her purse for candy to give Abigail.

Suddenly, she noticed Jeffrey pull out his phone and offer it to her, "Use mine for now. My secretary's out buying a new one."

"No need." Karen was frosty, not sparing him an extra glance.

"Karen, can you at least consider my feelings? You flaunt chats with your date right in front of me and expect me to keep cool?"

He'd be a fool to let that slide!

Karen continued her silence, bending down to fuss with Abigail's hair.

"Aunt Karen's only got this one piece of candy left. Eat it quick before your mom spots it, or we'll both be in trouble."

Abigail looked up, "Mommy said I could have sweets today!"

"But if you have this one, Mommy won't buy you any others."

"Then I'll just eat it secretly."
