The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1210

Langston immediately shrank back, "I mean... I only snapped a photo of her from behind! If you're mad, go after my mentor. He's the one who told me to do it!"

"Don't worry, he won't get away with it."

"..."

Everett couldn't bear to upset his son before bedtime, so after a stern warning, he let the incident slide for the moment.

After ensuring Langston was asleep and checking that Abigail's blankets were snug around her, Everett retired to the master bedroom.

Lately, Dorothy had been busier than Everett!

Even though there was an antidote to ease the effects, the toxins in her body were still a concern for her health.

Staying up late working on designs and various tasks, Everett feared she might relapse.

If he could turn back time, he would definitely never drink the glass of water Dorothy handed him!

"I keep saying, Kevin could sort all this out in two days, and yet you insist on doing it yourself."

Delegating follow-up tasks was Kevin's forte.

"What, you're suggesting sending Kevin over to help out at my company?"

"If you want, it's not out of the question."

Dorothy smiled slyly, inching closer into his embrace, "I thought about taking more hands-on approach. I don't have much experience, and if I'm not diligent, the company, despite being launched, would eventually just become another headache for you!"

"I like it when you cause me headaches."

He was actually afraid that Dorothy's troubles would be handled by someone else, not him!

"What's with that tone?" Dorothy suddenly noticed something off in Everett's voice.

It sounded...jealous?

But lately, she hadn't been in contact with Kenneth, and besides Kevin, there weren't any other men around her!

"It's nothing, just want to treat you better, to keep you from others' thoughts."

"Everett, if this is about Kenneth again, I think you really have nothing to worry about! At this point, do you still fear I might have something with him?"

Dorothy stood up from her computer, raising an eyebrow, "That's strange, I just took a shower, and it was there."

"There's really none, come see if you don't believe me."

"...I'll just get you another one then."

She dashed to the linen closet, pulling out a fresh towel to pass to him.

The bathroom door opened, and instead of reaching for the towel, Everett grabbed Dorothy's wrist!

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, she was pulled into the bathroom.

Everett intentionally maneuvered her under the shower, and soon, warm water drenched Dorothy's pajamas!

"What are you doing?!"

"Showering together."
