The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 947

Everett didn't utter a word before abruptly ending the call.

He glanced at Dorothy, who quickly chimed in, "Was that Dr. Quincy? Something must have happened. Go check on her, will you? She's pretty much a stranger in Eldorria City, and... she did save your life, after all."

"Right." Everett nodded and slipped back into his suit jacket. As he reached the foyer of Bay Residence, he murmured, "Dorothy, we'll talk when I get back."

"Of course!" Dorothy escorted Everett to the door and watched his car disappear from view, her spirits dimming.

Honestly, she hadn't expected Everett to agree so readily...

From what she knew of him, he normally wouldn't have bothered especially when it involved other women.

Dorothy had prepared herself to persuade him further, yet it took only one mention for him to consent.

Considering Kevin's hesitant tone and Quincy's message — "if you don't agree, you'll regret it” - though unsure of the exact tone Quincy had used, it almost sounded like she was petulantly baiting Everett.

"How can I doubt Everett? What am I even thinking!" Dorothy slapped her forehead, eager to banish these thoughts from her mind.

If Everett truly harbored feelings for Quincy, he wouldn't have taken the call in front of her and let her hear everything! He was being transparent, without a hint of guilt, precisely because there was nothing to hide.

Doubting Everett would only hurt him.

Upon Everett's arrival, Quincy was already waiting at the door, certain he would come.
