The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 140
Dorothy blinked a few times before finally nodding. “Alright, she said so.”
Everett, taking long strides, went straight into the hotel room and shut the door.
Although they had done more intimate things many times before, being suddenly cornered by him like this and surrounded by his
scent still made Dorothy a bit flustered.
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t listen to my mom’s crap
Dorothy looked into his eyes and was shocked to see anxiety there.
“It’s none of my business.” She tried to put some distance between her and Everett. Being this close made her breath uneven.
But Everett, seemingly on purpose, followed her every move.
Finally, he sighed softly.
“My mom was kidnapped once and became withdrawn for a while after being rescued. She developed severe depression and
often had suicidal tendencies.”
Dorothy had no idea that Everett’s mother had gone through all this. She had just met her and thought she was bubbly and
talkative. Her voice was gentle and pleasing to the ear, she seemed like the perfect, caring mother. Dorothy had a hard time
associating her with depression.
But why was he telling her all this?
“I can’t just let her accept our marriage. I’m sorry” Everett said bitterly.
It took Dorothy almost a minute to digest this apology from Everett before she spoke, “Why are you apologizing to me?” She
pursed her lips. It took her a while to say, “Since Amanda only wants you to marry Heather, maybe we should just end our
agreement early”
“Dorothy, don’t even think about breaking the contract!”

Everett’s voice suddenly rose several notches, startling Dorothy.
After seeing his furrowed and gloomy brow she wanted to bluntly ask if she was that good in bed. He still wouldn’t break the
contract, even with things looking like this? He, the CEO of the Lopez Corporation, could have any woman he wanted. Why
bother with this?
Was it because he felt guilty for taking her virginity that night and was afraid of being labeled as a heartless and unrighteous
man?
Or maybe Everett had a cleanliness fetish
The more Dorothy thought about it, the more she convinced herself.
Karen had once told her that powerful men care more about a woman’s virginity. They see such women as pure, both physically
and emotionally, and it greatly satisfied their male ego.
So after nearly ten minutes of silence, Dorothy plucked up her courage and just came out with it.
“Mr. Lopez, my virginity... it doesn’t really mean anything, and even if we break the contract, I won’t tell anyone about this.”
Everett was stunned. “What?”
“Cough cough” Dorothy turned her face away, feeling a bit embarrassed. “I mean, if you feel that... if you feel obligated to me
because that night was my first time, you really don’t have to. I know you were drunk that night. It was unintentional, and I won’t
pester you because of it
She finished speaking and didn’t dare look at Everett’s expression, so she just stiffly turned her gaze elsewhere.
After a while, she heard Everett’s low, grainy voice. “Do you know that the idea of a man losing control when he is drunk is
bullshit?”
Dorothy was dumbfounded.
“If I was toally drunk, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything”
