The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1099

“Aunt Karen just had a baby, so it's kinda hectic over there.”

“But her place is huge, me and Lily can be super quiet! We won’t make a peep,” Langston insisted, raising his hand as if taking an oath.

Dorothy looked at Langston, letting out a silent sigh. She stayed quiet for a while before finally asking, “What if... you guys stayed with Dad, would that be okay?”

Immediately, Langston’s guard was up. His brows furrowed, “Are you planning on leaving us? Mom, can’t we just be one big happy family? It’s okay if Dad’s too busy to come home, me and Lily won’t nag about wanting to see him anymore!”

“Dad’s not too busy, he even found time to come to school—”

Abigail’s words were cut short as Langston quickly covered her mouth. He had warned Abigail not to mention their dad’s visit, but did she listen? No, because Dad had to go and say he missed his daughter! That girl could spill the beans on everything without even realizing it!

“He went to the school?”

Despite Langston’s attempt, Dorothy still caught the words “the school.”

At this point, Langston couldn’t deny it. “Yeah, he said he missed me and Lily.”

“What else did he say?”

“Nothing much, just stopped by to see us.”

Dorothy put on a stern face, “Tell me the truth.”

“That’s all! And he only came to the school once, didn’t stay long.”

Langston knew the weight of responsibility on his shoulders; he couldn’t let his plan fail now.

“Is that true, Abigail?”

“Yay! Yes!” Langston clenched his fist in victory, happily dragging his sister away.

Watching their retreating figures, Dorothy felt her compromise was worth it. She definitely couldn’t stay at Bay Residence anymore; leaving was inevitable. But Eldorria City was big enough to find another place. As long as they didn’t run into Everett, it would be fine.

Ever since Karen settled down and had a child, life wasn’t about living on a whim anymore.

What Dorothy didn’t know was that as soon as Langston went back to his room, he quickly texted Everett.

【Mission accomplished! Don’t forget to update my gaming system!】

【Your mom agreed to stay?】Everett’s reply came almost instantly.

【Of course! I have my ways, and Mom always listens to me! She said we’re not staying at Bay Residence but we’re not leaving Eldorria City, so you can still come see me and Lily!】
