The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 985

It was rare for Everett to seem so restless. His brows were furrowed in worry, yet he made every effort to appear as if nothing was amiss.

Dorothy knew that the reason for his turmoil was undoubtedly herself. So, she stepped forward and looked up at him.

Everett instinctively averted his gaze. "What's up?"

"Look at me," Dorothy insisted, catching his eye again. "Tell me, what's wrong?"

He slightly furrowed his brow, "It's nothing."

"Be honest! Everett, do you really want me to start jumping to conclusions? You said you'd teach me how to trust you, but now you won’t tell me anything. Is this what you wanted to teach me?"

While she spoke, his phone rang again.

Everett didn’t move, just pressed his lips together.

"Give me the phone," Dorothy said, extending her hand with an unusual firmness.

"I don’t want to answer it."

"Hand it over." She repeated.

Everett, with a heavy brow, took out his phone and handed it to Dorothy.

It was a call from Jonathan.

"Your dad's been calling you so many times, must be something important. Take it," Dorothy handed it back, "If it's something I shouldn't hear, I'll go to the bedroom."

She turned to leave, clearly trying to give him space.

Everett caught her wrist as she turned, "There’s nothing you can’t hear. It’s my mom, he said she’s gotten seriously ill and is in the hospital again, wants me to come over."
