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

Chapter 1087

Every tKeh saw the way Dorothy looked at Everett, it was like watching a live romantic movie—the kind of love that fills

the room with its unspoken intensity. So, he knew it was tto step aside.

Keh had lost all hope because he felt miracles just didn’t happen in his life. Dorothy wouldn't leave Everett. He never stood a

chance. But then, wasn’t this the miracle he'd been cynically waiting for? And it was Everett who had made room for him, of all

people.

"All this talk is pointless, Dorothy won't accept you," Everett's voice lost its previous edge, his words slow but filled with certainty.

He was on guard against Keh. Mostly, he feared Karen playing matchmaker or brewing sother scheme. He was wary of

Keh, of Karen, but definitely not Dorothy. She had said in a fit of pique that if she ended up with Quincy, she'd go to Keh,

but that was clearly said in anger. Everett could tell the difference.

"When you first pursued Dorothy, she didn’t accept you either. You were relentless for years, and she eventually gave in. You

chased her for over a decade, no problem, | can do it too, twenty or even thirty years! But you, you've already thrown in the

towel."

"Keh, what do you know?!"

Keh just chuckled, "I know nothing, and | prefer it that way! Don't try to explain anything to me. Even if | listened, | wouldn't

tell a soul!" He wasn't so generous as to help Dorothy wait for an Everett who might never turn back.

Keh’s words hinted that he had pieced together sof the truth. He knew Everett's sudden decision to break up with

Dorothy had other reasons behind it.

"Speaking of which, | really should thank you for stepping aside."

"Keh, she won't accept you."

"Maybe not right away." Keh paused, smiling again, "But tchanges everything! You haven't heard yet, but Karen just

messaged me, tellingDorothy is planning to leave the country."

"What?!" Everett's voice rose in alarm.

"I'll be leaving with her."

Before Keh could finish, Everett had hung up and was striding towards Bay Residence. He unlocked the door and saw Karen

and Dorothy sitting on the couch. Everett's sudden appearance took both Karen and Dorothy by surprise.

"You're leaving?" Without thinking, Everett blurted out the question. Dorothy paused, glancing at Karen. She had only shared her

plans with Karen, so if the news had leaked, it would have been through her.

Karen grimaced, "I mentioned it to my brother." But she hadn't expected Everett to find out! Dorothy felt cornered, but with Everett

confronting her, she saw no reason to hide her plans.

"Yes, I'm leaving. I'll move out of Bay Residence as soon as | can."

"lI won't allow you to leave."

As soon as Everett spoke, Karen snapped back, "On what grounds? Dorothy is free to do as she pleases. Who are you to stop her?"

"Karen..." Dorothy didn’t want things to escalate, gently tugging at Karen's sleeve.

"You can't leave."

"Why not?"

Dorothy looked up at Everett, their gazes locking, a mix ofplex emotions swirling between them.

"If | say you can’t, then you just can’t." He was scrambling for a reason, ending up just repeating himself.

"Everett, we've already broken up. You're the one who said it."
