The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 851

"I haven't been in touch with Tristan for, like, centuries, I told him that!"

As Karen's temper began to flare, Dorothy quickly stepped in to soothe her.

"Hey, hey, easy, Karen. If not for anything else, think about the bun in the oven, huh? The doc says you need to chill and take care of yourself, or else..."

Karen pursed her lips tightly, and then, after a long pause, she let out a soft sigh. "If only Jeffrey could be half as level-headed as Everett. Sometimes I swear that guy's still in short pants."

If anyone else had said that, Dorothy would've nodded in agreement.

But coming from Karen...

"You're not exactly the picture of maturity yourself compared to Jeffrey."

They were like two kids playing house.

Karen pouted. "Well, at least I don't go around throwing punches like he does, acting all innocent afterward! Every time he does that, it feels like we're worlds apart."

Jeffrey had zero respect for others, let alone any kind of moral compass. If he liked someone, they could do no wrong in his eyes. But if he didn't? He'd run them into the ground.

Karen was afraid that one day, Jeffrey's ways would lead to disaster.

"Don't get all worked up. No matter what, Jeffrey cares about you, and that's enough."

"Dorothy, do you think Jeffrey and I will make it to the end? I'm really... I just have no clue."

"Who can tell these things? You just keep walking the path to find out." Dorothy offered a comforting smile.

"Like me and Everett, do you think we'll last?"

Karen blinked, taken aback. "I guess... You guys seem so in love."

But Dorothy shook her head. "I don't think so."
