The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 178

Everett was used to waiting for Dorothy.

He had been doing it for years.

As the sunset started to fade, Dorothy looked up at him.

All those years and it seemed like time hadn't touched him. Look closely. He's still got that boyish charm.

"You should smile more. Stop looking so serious."

"All right," Everett nodded. He waited for Dorothy to get in first before he took the driver's seat.

He didn't bring his assistant today, which made Dorothy feel like they were just an ordinary couple going home after work, cooking dinner, and falling asleep in each other's arms.

However, Everett was anything but ordinary.

Dorothy wanted to ask about his mother, but she couldn't bring herself to.

She didn't want to break the peace of their little world.

Back at Bay Residence, Everett changed into something more comfortable and headed for the kitchen, followed by Dorothy.

"Let me cook tonight. You can go and take a break."

He always said he was not tired, but the weariness on his face said otherwise.

Dorothy knew how much work he had to do for the Lopez Corporation, yet he still managed to find time for her.

"I want to spend more time with you." Everett didn't leave but continued chopping vegetables.

Dorothy smiled and joined him, enjoying their quiet time together.

Their peace was short-lived, however, as the doorbell rang.

Everett paused, glancing at Dorothy, who hesitated.

"Should I hide? Is it your family?"
