The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 675

Quincy stood frozen in place for several minutes before she finally found her voice.

"You mean..."

"I can only stay with him in Swevia Country for a month, and time's almost up."

Quincy still couldn't wrap her head around this sudden news.

"Could there be some kind of mistake?"

"I wish there was." Dorothy stood up, offering Quincy a wistful smile, "His folks are really hoping you'll marry him. Honestly, if you could make Everett fall for you, I'd want you two to be together."

At least Quincy wasn't like Heather, always scheming and with an ulterior motive.

Quincy was kind, innocent, with a positive attitude and a strong moral compass. More importantly, the Lopez family was open to acknowledging her.

"You want to entrust him to me?"

"That's if Everett can accept you."

The rest was up to Quincy's capabilities.

"He can't." Quincy could give Dorothy that answer right away, "Ms. Sanchez, when Mr. Lopez was hanging by a thread, he was only calling out your name. You could say that if it wasn't for you, he might not have made it through the surgery. That kind of love, I don't have the guts to challenge, nor do I think I can replace."

Even though Everett embodied every fantasy Quincy had of love, his devotion to Dorothy made her step back.

After all, Quincy would only be a stand-in if she married him.

Maybe not even a stand-in, Quincy felt like Everett wouldn't even notice her.

After pouring out her heart, Quincy walked away with determined strides.

Leaving Dorothy alone on the chair, her eyes gradually reddening until she covered her face and began to sob softly.

...

Everett realized Dorothy was gone rather quickly.

He had just disconnected from a video conference when he immediately called her.

No answer.

A wave of panic hit him, and without even taking the time to put on a coat, he bolted out of the ward room.
