The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1205

"You're definitely overthinking this, I'd more likely call the cops on you!"

Everett was well aware of this.

So, he always played it cool, never too aggressive.

Otherwise, with Dorothy's fiery temper, the moment he got too close, she'd leap away and cut ties forever, wishing they never had to cross paths again.

Back in middle school, it wasn't like there weren't boys secretly crushing on her.

Their class had one!

Everett didn't interfere; he was curious to see how Dorothy would react to an admirer.

But before the boy could even confess, he simply offered Dorothy a bottle of water during a sports event, and the very next day, she insisted on giving him a dollar for it. After that, she avoided him like the plague.

Everett couldn't recall a single instance of Dorothy speaking to him after that.

With such a precedent, how could Everett ever take the risk?

But none of that mattered now! After all, he had won her over; she was his.

...

When Quincy mentioned Everett's conditions to Ronin, he immediately agreed to hand over the commercial building to her!

"Quincy, who would've thought, Everett finally fell for you! Once you're carrying the Lopez heir, you'll be cementing your place as Mrs. Lopez!"

"Yeah, which is why I'm saying you better weigh up what you should and shouldn't be doing."

Ronin chuckled, "I'm just worried, you know! Your brother's at that age where he needs money, hasn't even found a wife yet! I gotta think about him too."

"You can start thinking now."

"No, not yet! Once you're pregnant with a Lopez, Everett will give you whatever you want, right?" Ronin had his schemes, "I heard Jonathan, ever since his wife passed, has been constantly sick and in the hospital. Doesn't seem like he has many years left. When the time comes, all the power will be in Everett's hands, and as his wife..."

Who would want such a family?

After hanging up, Quincy glanced at the time and grabbed her purse to leave.

She had an appointment with the doctor for a full physical, to identify her fertile window!

On her way, thinking about getting physically close to Everett made her cheeks flush with color.

She had never been so intimate with a guy before, not even a kiss, and now she was about to take the leap straight to having a baby.

How could she not be embarrassed?

Back in Swevia Country, Quincy accidentally overheard Everett and Dorothy in a hospital room...

Although it wasn't clear, she definitely heard something.

Quincy quickly slapped her cheeks, "Oh, what am I thinking! Really."
