The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 14

But she didn't forget about her duty. She thought for a moment and said, "Guess I'll be on breakfast duty tomorrow, eh?"

Since when did the sugar daddy serve himself?

Everett chuckled lightly. He was wearing a dark-colored robe, looking comfortably lazy. He walked over and pulled out a chair to sit down on at the dining table. "Don't be so formal, love. After we register today, you'll officially be my wife. At least in the eyes of the law."

Since he was so upfront, Dorothy decided to stop beating around the bush. "So, Mr. Lopez, how long is this contract marriage gonna last? Maybe we should seal the deal in writing. What do you think?"

After all, it was all about business, and she needed to set a time limit for herself.

If Everett said their marriage needed to last a long time, she would need to think it over.

Men had a golden age that lasted for quite a while. When the time came and Everett needed a divorce, he would still be a hot bachelor. But for her, it would be a disaster. Who would want an old, divorced woman?

Everett, who was holding a fork and knife, paused for a moment, seemingly considering the question.

Eventually, he nodded. "Alright, I'll have my assistant draft a contract. Let's sign for a year first."

"Sounds good." Dorothy finally relaxed a bit and tasted Everett's porridge.

Hmm, it was really tasty.

...

After breakfast, she and Everett went to register their marriage.

After signing and leaving her fingerprints, she was officially Mrs. Lopez. The whole process took less than half an hour.

In Jeffrey's eyes, if a woman was not to his liking, he would just hit it and quit it. If he was really into her, he might keep her around for a bit longer. He just couldn't understand why Everett would go to such lengths for a mere assistant.

"You're just burying your head in the sand." Jeffrey rolled his eyes in disbelief. "Honestly, I'm quite curious to see how this story ends. What if this little assistant never develops feelings for you? What will you do?"

Everett ignored him and opened his laptop to work.

He couldn't put these things off until the night. Tonight was their official wedding night, and he had no intention of playing the generous benefactor forever.

As the car started, Jeffrey suddenly remembered something and nudged Everett's shoulder. "Oh, by the way, Heather is coming back next week. We should all get together and catch up. Have you seen her on Twitter? She's absolutely stunning now."

Jeffrey was excited, but Everett didn't even look up. "We'll talk about it next week."

"Hey! She's coming back just to help you, man. You're being quite cold-hearted."
