The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1387

Some things just aren't worth fussing over, truly!

Years back, Karen might have thrown a fit over such matters, probably would have made a huge scene.

But not anymore.

Jeffrey's heart belongs to her, he loves her, and that's all that really matters. You can't always be splitting hairs over every little thing.

Hearing these words from Karen, well, it sure took Dorothy by surprise.

She chuckled, "Becoming a mom has really changed you, hasn't it? You've grown so much more sensible."

"It's not just about being a mom, really. It's understanding that nobody's perfect! When I agreed to be Jeffrey's girlfriend, I didn't for a second believe he'd actually stop hitting the bars every night or flirting around. There's a saying, 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks,' but he proved me wrong! So, I guess I owe it to him to be a bit more forgiving."

Dorothy was speechless for a few seconds before she could only laugh in resignation.

"After you say something like that, I can't even tell if you're praising him or scolding him."

Weird, but in a good way.

Karen just laughed, "Oh, I'm definitely praising him! If I were scolding him, I'd be much more direct. He wouldn't dare backtalk."

At this point, Karen pretty much ruled the roost in the Turner household!

If Jeffrey ever so much as thought about crossing her, Huxley and Paloma Turner would send their own son packing without a second thought.

While the men chatted outside, the women had their own lively conversation indoors.

By the time Jeffrey and Karen left, it was nearly the wee hours of the morning!

"Drive safe, and take it slow, no rush!"

"Alright, get some rest!" Karen waved at Dorothy before getting into the car.

"But let's not tell Karen about this, Jeffrey was worried she might find out," Everett repeated what Jeffrey had told him earlier.

He wouldn't lie to Dorothy, but he also didn't want to stir up trouble at home because of something Jeffrey brought over.

After hearing the explanation, Dorothy patted Everett's arm gently, "Jeffrey doesn't need to be so nervous! Karen already figured it out."

That surprised Everett, "And she didn't make a fuss?"

Given Karen's temper, that was unexpected.

"If she had, Jeffrey wouldn't have had to rope you into keeping secrets!"

"…I didn't lie." He just hadn't gone out of his way to tell Karen.

Dorothy laughed at his expression and couldn't resist pinching Everett's cheek.
