The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 803

Karen wanted to leap up and sew Jeffrey's mouth shut.

Of all times, he still had the nerve to crack jokes!

As expected, Derek's expression turned increasingly grim, and he could barely contain the anger brewing in his eyes. "You two broke up, didn't you?"

"Uh, technically, yes, but we kind of patched things up." Karen flashed a grin and sidled up to her dad. She playfully swung his arm, "Dad, I still really like Jeffrey, so I thought I'd give him another chance!"

Derek immediately frowned, "You are okay with his shady dealings with other women?"

Jeffrey heard that and quickly interjected, "That's a big misunderstanding! I swear!"

"Don't swear it. I can't bear it!"

"You can! You are my father-in-law and that’s the fact!"

And the grandfather of my kid!

Of course, those last few words were left unspoken.

Karen had warned him when they left the house to take it slow, not to reveal everything all at once for fear of shocking their elders.

Derek looked at his daughter, "He says it's a misunderstanding. Do you believe that?"

"I do! It was really a misunderstanding. I was too impulsive back then and didn't let him explain, which is why I insisted on breaking up. Later, he came to me many times and showed me proof, and that's when I realized I had truly wronged him."
