The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 847

Everett pulled her into his arms, "Even though Jeffrey going off half-cocked like that was rash, if someone came at me with those words, we wouldn't be calling 911."

Dorothy blinked. "Then what would we be calling?"

"The hearse."

Dorothy was at a loss for words.

The terrifying thing about Everett wasn't the harsh words he spoke, it was that when he said something, nobody doubted whether he meant it.

"After all this commotion, looks like their evening plans are shot. Got any places you wanna hit up in Everglow City?"

To Dorothy, Everglow City was just another place to work, nothing special. But after a moment's hesitation, a location did spring to mind!

Both looked at each other, saying in unison.

"Dreamscape Hotel!"

"Dreamscape Hotel."

...

Returning here, Dorothy couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. She took out her phone and snapped a picture of the entrance.

"The first time I saw Abigail here, I thought her eyes were so much like yours." At the time, Everett didn't dare to think too much about it, let alone guess that Abigail was his daughter with Dorothy!

"True, Abigail's eyes do remind me of mine, but she's got your facial structure. That's why I worry about being spotted when she's with me."

And as for Langston, well, he might as well have been a carbon copy of Everett; anyone who saw him would start second-guessing.

"What's the worst that could happen if we're found out? Dorothy, you always take on too much, always playing the tough gal."

Ever since he'd first met Dorothy, she was like this!

Back in school, everyone from the teachers to the students knew her situation. She could have easily asked the teacher for a pass to skip out on classroom chores or activities, but she never did.

After fulfilling her duties like everyone else, she would miss the last direct bus to the hospital, too frugal to take a cab, ending up walking the entire way.
