The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 103

Everett spotted her in no time and with long strides, he started heading her way.

As he got closer, Dorothy felt a sudden urge to turn tail and run.

Nobody was accompanying him here; he was all by himself.

Everett came to a halt next to her. The sense of oppression was making her lose her breath.

She saw him pressing his thin lips together, brows slightly furrowed. The white bandage on his handsome face was a bit conspicuous. He looked somewhat displeased, as if he was mulling over how to scold her.

Sensibly, Dorothy reached out to grab his luggage first. Her face was stiff and she was uncertain what to say first.

Finally, it was Everett who broke the silence.

"So you will never call me if I don’t contact you first, right?"

Dorothy was taken aback by his words and ended up saying nothing at all.

"Forget it, give me the car keys." Everett extended his hand, his tall figure completely blocking the light that should've been on her.

"Huh?"

"You plan on chatting with me at the airport?" He asked.

Dorothy quickly shook her head and handed over the car keys.

She ended up in the passenger seat, with Everett driving.

Wasn't I supposed to pick him up? She thought.

On the way back, there were times that Dorothy wanted to say something. But in the end, she couldn't find a starting point and swallowed her words.

She didn't expect their reunion to be like this. Why did it feel like... like Everett was more helpless than angry?

"Your mother's surgery was successful."

Once again, it was Everett who broke the silence.

"Yeah, I really need to thank you for finding the doctor. The last few physicians all said the success rate wasn't high after learning about her condition."

"Now you are thanking me. But your mother thanked Kenneth Nelson."

"Of course," Dorothy stated it as if it was a natural thing.

Everett slammed on the brakes, causing them both to lurch forward for a few seconds before the car came to a stop on the side of the road.

Dorothy looked at him in surprise, not understanding why.

The next second, Everett ravished her lips as a punishment.

He didn't know why he was so fond of this clueless woman. He could even be dumbfounded by the way she pissed him off.

Everything happened so suddenly. Dorothy only pushed the man off her when she felt like she was about to pass out from lack of oxygen.

"What are you doing?!"

At this moment, Everett's lips were stained with her lipstick; his shirt was disheveled from her pulling, adding a sense of laziness to him.

The air in the car suddenly became quiet.

After a while, he spoke softly, "Dorothy, what do I have to do to make you understand?"
