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

Chapter 1061

"But | don't believe you can just let go."

After his mother passed away, he was heartbroken and downcast, wanting to vent the sadness within. Dorothy could understand all

that, but she couldn't grasp how Everett could claim he was suddenly over it, ready to let go of their relationship. It just didn't sit

right with her.

Over a decade together wasn't something you could just drop like a hot potato.

"I need sspace," Everett admitted, knowing full well that simply stating he was over it wouldn't convince Dorothy.

"So, all this time, when you said you needed space, you were actually figuring out how to let go of me, of us?"

Dorothy felt her heart being squeezed at the thought!

She had believed... that Everett was trying to cool off and then return to their family life.

"lI won't let you do this! Everett, you've spoiledso much, who else would ever treatlike you do if you were gone?"

In this world, she was convinced there would never be another who could fill his shoes!

Everett looked at Dorothy, wanting to mention Kenneth, but he stopped himself before the words could escape. He feared Dorothy

might do something rash in a moment of desperation...

"Everett, please, giveanother chance."

"You've done nothing wrong; you don't need a 'chance' from me."

"But you're leaving!" Dorothy's eyes welled up, though she fought back the tears, "You want to let go of our relationship, and it

terrifies me."

She was willing to admit to anything, apologize for anything, whatever it took!

Everett clenched his fists, holding back the urge to embrace her. He had to act fast, to ensure Dorothy's safety above all else.

"Dorothy, remember? | was always afraid of you leaving, you were always so decisive."

"It was always you taking the tto think about us. Now, | need to do the same."

Everett took a deep breath, "This will be my last night at Bay Residence until I've figured things out. | won't cback."

"Everett..."

"And don't let the kids call me. You didn't use them to hold on towhen you left."

Seeing her, Kenneth smiled, showing no resentment.

"Sit."

Eleanor nodded and took a seat beside him, "I'm sorry | haven't visited..."

"There's nothing to apologize for. They toldhow my mom and sister gave you a hard tin the ER. If anyone should be saying

sorry, it's me."

With Kenneth's polite dismissal, Eleanor's heart fluttered with unease.

"I've thought about it, and it's really my fault. We argued, and | just had to storm out, leading to... your condition."

"Who could've seen it coming? You couldn't have known."

"Kenneth." Eleanor spoke softly, "No matter what happens, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life."
