The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 355
Otherwise, it was impossible for it to be his child.
He had never been with any other woman in his entire life apart from Dorothy. There was no one else in the picture.
Upon learning that Everett might have an illegitimate child, no one was happier than Lane,
The news kept him awake all night.
It was still early, and he didn’t want to disturb Dorothy and her daughter so he didn’t immediately call her about it. But as noon
approached, he couldn’t hold back any longer
After a few rings, Dorothy’s voice came through. Perhaps due to anxiety, her voice was a bit hoarse.
“Hello, Lane”
“Has your daughter been found yet?”
Dorothy was about to say no, but after hearing him refer to her daughter, she quickly comected herself. “Yes, she has been
found”
“That’s good“” Lane let out a sigh of relief.
“But my daughter is quite attached to me, so I might need some time before I can return to work, can
“No problem! I’m here at the company. If necessary, I will handle everything for you. Just concentrate on being with your
daughter Lane chuckled. “And you don’t have to worry about Everett finding out about your daughter anymore.”
“Hmm?”
Lane purposely steered the conversation towards Everett’s illegitimate child.
He wanted Dorothy to give up and let her know that Everett was not the saint she thought he was.
“According to Jeffrey, he has an illegitimate child who went looking for him at the company. The boy locks so much like Everett
that everyone who sees him is convinced he’s Everett’s son.”

As Lane spoke, Dorothy went silent. But this was within Lane’s expectations.
It was clear that Dorothy still had feelings for Everett. She surely wouldn’t be able to accept the existence of this illegitimate child.
It was a huge blow, so her silence was understandable
But actually, this was doing Dorothy a favor.
It had to be Langston.
“Dorothy? Are you okay?” Lane feigned concem.
“No, I’m fine! What happened next? Did Everett accept the child?” Dorothy wanted to figure out Langston’s current situation,
It seemed her worst fears had come true
Now she just needed to bring Langston back home quickly so they could leave for abroad and avoid being found by the Lopez
family
“With such a striking resemblance, how could he not accept him? Under the public eye, would he deny the child’s fidentity? I
assume the Lopez family took him in and gave him a proper place in the family.”
“Lane, who told you this?”
“Jeffrey. So, there’s no doubt about it”
“Oh.. could you ask Jeffrey for me? What are Everett’s plans for the child, and does the Lopez family know about this?”
Lane interpreted this as Dorothy refusing to give up on Everett. She still cared about Everett’s decisions.
“Okay, 111 ask for you. Dorothy, even though you were once married, you’re divorced now. You have to accept that he’s moved
on. Everett, with his status, is bound to have a succession of women by his side. Having an illegitimate child is not surprising.”
Lane’s constant reference to the illegitimate child‘ made Dorothy uncomfortable. “Everett just doesn’t know, so it shouldn’t be
considered illegitimate, right
“Aren’t all children born out of wedlock considered illegitimate? What’s the difference?”
“That’s not necessarily true. Everett is married, right? it might be his wife’s child.”
