The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 469
Dorothy bit her lip. struggling to hold back the rising tide of emotions.
Jonathan sighed heavily his gaze fixed on her “Think about it Dorothy. If the kids stay with you what kind of life can you offer
them? They’d have to struggle for everything, and you cant provide them much of a leg up in business. And don’t go dreaming
that Everett will be there to hea them out. His mother and I would never allow it.”
1 never intended to rely on Everett for the kids, she retorted, her voice barely above a whisper. From the beginning, her plan had
been to keep the existence of the children a secret.
But things had spiraled out of control.
“Dorothy, don’t be selfish and ruin your children’s future! With the Lopez family, they’d he living the high life, guaranteed a future
filled with every possible opportunity. I promise you, even il Everett remames and has other kids, still ensure your children get
their fair share of the inheritance and company shares. We can put that in writing”
The thought of the Lopez heirs not being with them, was more than Jonathan could stomach
And unlike his w to, Amanda, who despised Doretty to her core, blaming her for all the family’s current troubles, Jonathan’s
motivations were simpler. He just couldn’t see Dorothy as fitting the Lopez pedigree.
Besides, v with his wifes past misdeeds, imagine if Doretty actually joins the family and one day people uncover the truth about
her mother’s death...
The Lopez family would become the laughingstock of the social circuit, their dirty laundry aired for all to see.
What Jonathan craved was stability, not another family scandal shaking the very fourdations of their legacy
“I can deny the children are Lopez forever, if thats what you’re warned about, Dorothy offered, desperation edging her voice.
“But even if no one else knows, how will you keep it from Everett? He’ll seek out his crileren. Dorothy, I don’t want to think you’re
as mercenary as my wife clans, chasing Everett for his money. But if you insist on keeping the kids..
“Can I make a cal? Dorothy interrupted, suddenly locking as though she’d come to some sort of resolution.

“Of course,” Lonathan was clueless about her intent, but they were in Swevia Country, he was confident she couldn’t cause any
serious
Trouble here
Turning away Dorothy dialed the number Byte 7 had given her earlier. It rang for a long whe before someone finally picked up his
voice graggy from sleep and tinged with imitation.
“What do you want?”
“Sorry to bother you but I need to know when can you fix
that thing?
Byte 7 paused, yawring mid sentence. “In a hurry? Pay extra,
and Till bump you up the queue,”
Dorothy pressed her lips together in frustration, knowing full well she didn’t have the funds to expedite the process.
Sensing her pred coment, Byle 7 chuckled. “No money, no rush. Give me a month, and call back then. Goodbye.”
Without waiting for a response, he hung up to relum to his slumber.
Clutching her phone, Dorothy turned back to Jonathan with a determined look. “I leave the kids with the Lopez family, but I need
one month by Everett’s side, whether he wakes up or not.”
Jonathan rased an eyebrow. ” he wakes, he’ll want you to stay
“No, he won’t” Once the hard drive was restored, everything would change...
