The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 807

"Wha-?"

Kevin blinked, not catching the flurry of taps Mr. Lopez had executed on his smartphone. As a result, he was clueless and a tad startled. "Mr. Lopez, your schedule's packed with appointments. You're canceling all of them on such short notice?" he asked.

"I need to head back home for a while, then I'll return after some time," Everett replied, tapping his fingers restlessly on the desk. "Just say I've come down with something nasty and can't meet anyone."

"Got it, Mr. Lopez," Kevin said as he made his exit and glanced at his own phone screen.

Why did Mr. Lopez lose his cool over that number?

Driven by curiosity, he dialed the mysterious number from his personal phone.

After a few rings, a man's voice came through.

"Hello, this is Kenneth speaking. May I ask who's calling?"

Kevin hung up immediately, a smirk spreading across his face.

Well, isn't that revealing?

Time to book a flight!

Jeffrey's string of solemn promises and self-imposed penalties had had an effect. At least Derek wasn't as furious as they imagined.

Oh, wait. Maybe it was because today's main event hadn't unfolded yet.

With that in mind, Karen tugged on Jeffrey's sleeve, "You need to tell them about us registering our marriage."

Jeffrey licked his lips nervously. "Now?" he lowered his voice.

"Yeah, while my dad's not angry."

"And the baby? Should we tell them about that too?"
