The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 629

"Fancy fruit?"

Everett was clueless about what the joke meant.

Jeffrey snorted with derision. "Your wife's bestie had regarded me as a fancy fruit for a fun try! You've been too busy mooning over your wife to care about me!"

Everett was speechless.

...

The news didn't escape Kenneth's radar. They had just arrived the city before sitting down for a meal when Kenneth's call came through.

Instead of confronting Karen directly, he phoned Dorothy.

When she saw the caller ID, she stood up and made a beeline for the exit, cautious not to take the call in front of Everett, just in case it was something serious from Byte 7.

Once outside the restaurant, she answered.

"Kenneth."

"Karen's parents called me earlier, said she's got herself a boyfriend, and they've already had the meet-the-parents dinner. Did you know that?"

That was the news of the day.

"Yeah." And they were in the middle of dinner together.

"What's the guy like? They say he looks like a playboy, not the reliable type. Karen's parents are worried she's being blinded and asked me to get the scoop from you."

Dorothy was at a loss for words on how to accurately describe Jeffrey.

Paint him in too good a light, and what if he ends up hurting Karen? It would be like giving her endorsement for their relationship.

But to speak ill of him when Karen was seeing Jeffrey would be like pushing Kenneth to force Karen to break up.

After a few seconds of thought, she finally said, "He's been good to Karen, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to date him."
