The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 350

"Yes, you've been my friend for many years, and... and I even used to have feelings for you, but now you terrify me."

Heather froze. "What did you say?"

"Nothing. I gotta go; I'm busy."

With that, he hung up, ignoring Heather's subsequent calls.

Langston was leisurely enjoying a dinner while glancing up at him from time to time.

Finally he asked, "Your girlfriend?"

"No, just a delusional woman who wants to be your stepmother."

Dorothy and Karen were already looking at flights overseas when Kenneth called.

"I found out that Langston really got on a flight back home."

Dorothy felt as if her heart was about to stop. "Where did he land?"

"Eldorria City." Kenneth's voice was heavy as he said this, for he too had an inkling of what was happening.

Dorothy instantly understood. "I'm going to Eldorria City to find him right now!"

"I've also bought a ticket; I'll be boarding soon." Kenneth said, hesitating before adding, "But until we hear something from Everett, maybe you should let Karen go to Eldorria City to find Langston. If she can intercept him before Everett finds out, everything will be okay. Karen and I can bring him back."

If Dorothy went to Eldorria City, she’d be in Everett's turf.

So many people knew Dorothy.

Honestly, if it weren't for Everett and the feud with the Lopez family, she might really consider Kenneth for the sake of the children.

But she couldn't go against her heart now; it wouldn't be fair to anyone.

...

The next morning, before Langston had even woken up, Jeffrey was already awake.

Since he had a kid around, he couldn't even get a good night's sleep. His decision to stay single and childless was definitely the right one.

He didn't wake the little one next to him. Instead, he got himself ready and sat on the living room couch. After ordering breakfast from room service, he dialed Lane's number.

Lane sounded very sleepy.

"Hmm? Jeffrey, do you realize what time it is?"
