The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 627

Even if Jeffrey had been quite the ladies' man in the past, Karen really wanted to give him a chance.

"Your dad's worried he's not reliable! With that face of his..." Serena sighed heavily, "Being handsome and rich, do you think he's going to settle down with you?"

"Mom, it's not like the ordinary ones would be any more likely to settle down if you only judge them by their looks and wealth. Rather than that, I might as well choose someone easy on the eyes."

She'd had her fair share of relationships with less attractive guys, and where did that get her? Only heartbreak.

If Jeffrey turned out to be a jerk, at least she'd have seen it coming and wouldn't be so blindsided.

"You sure about this?"

"Yeah."

Serena was torn for a moment before letting out another long sigh, "You two... have already gone this far, I won't say much more. Just remember, don't get pregnant before you're married! Or else you'll be stuck with no way out."

Karen felt extremely embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

She knew her parents must've overheard something when they came back.

How mortifying it was.

Jeffrey's parents arrived in no time, not only bringing the items he'd previously bought but also a collection of treasured gifts.

The array of gifts piled up in Karen's house like a small mountain, feeling completely out of place.

It was like Huxley and Paloma standing there in the room, all suited and booted, looking so formal and serious.

Jeffrey took the opportunity to pull Karen aside, eyes crinkling with a smile, "I've finally got you in the palm of my hand."

"My parents haven’t agreed yet."
