The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 578

"But..."

"Karen, I've prepared for the worst, but Abigail and Langston's life has just begun! Only with Everett can they have a life of ease and comfort."

Karen was well aware of the hardships of this path. As a friend, she could only offer as much help as possible.

"Alright, I'll go talk to my brother."

...

The day Dorothy returned from her trip to Swevia Country, she got up early to pack her bags.

Quincy came over to change Everett's bandages and left some extra with strict instructions to remind him to change them during the trip back.

She didn't advise Everett to travel at that moment because his wounds hadn't fully healed, but he was not the kind to heed a doctor's advice.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him and try to avoid aggravating the injury."

"Mhm," Quincy nodded, seemingly with more to say. But in the end, she just waved her hand, "See you in a week!"

"See you."

Dorothy got into the car with Everett, and they headed for the airport.

She spent the whole ride gazing out the car window, lost in thought.

Everett caught glimpses of her, but she never seemed to notice.

As they approached the airport, he finally reached out, pulling Dorothy into his embrace, his voice low and tender, "Stop worrying, okay?"

"You know what I'm thinking?"

"Besides Kenneth, what else could be on your mind?" Everett had been holding back, but now he couldn't contain himself any longer.

He wished he could crack open Dorothy's head and excavate Kenneth completely from her thoughts!

Because of his presence, things were awkward!

Not like with Lane, who he could deal with any way he wanted, and Dorothy wouldn't get involved!

But Kenneth...

"Mmm..."

He kissed her deliberately hard, with a deep, probing insistence, prying her lips apart.

He wanted to erase Kenneth's name from Dorothy's mind, even if just for a moment!

Dorothy was taken aback by the sudden kiss, startled at first.

But soon enough, he had her feeling all fluttery inside.

When the kiss ended, Dorothy's cheeks were flushed, and the sight made Everett's lower abdomen tighten with desire!

Unfortunately, they were nearly at the airport.

"Still thinking about someone else?"

Dorothy glared at him teasingly, "When did you learn to be such a rogue?"

"If I weren't a rogue, you wouldn't be sitting beside me now," Everett lifted her onto his lap, "Dorothy, don't leave me. Otherwise, I don't know what I'd become."
