The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"Mom, don't build up his ego at the expense of our own pride." "What do you mean 'his'? Jeffrey's practically family now, with the engagement around the corner." Karen chuckled so hard she had to lean back to catch her breath, musing to herself that Jeffrey really had a way with people.
He'd managed to turn his image around in such a short time; the guy was seriously committed.
She shouldn't have doubted his intentions.
At that moment, Karen felt an unexpected flutter of pre-wedding bashfulness, the kind that sneaks up on you without any clear reason.
In the car, Jeffrey's lips were pressed into a tight line, his silence deafening.
Paige, sensing the mood, didn't dare make a sound. She sat shrunken in the back seat, stealing glances at Jeffrey's profile.
After driving for miles, far from the city center, Paige finally mustered the courage to speak up.
"Do you want to see the baby? It's a girl." "What the hell are you thinking!" Jeffrey's temper flared, his patience finally snapping. He slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the roadside.

"Do you expect me to marry you? Don't be delusional." "My family isn't short of money either." Paige retorted. Though her family's wealth didn't hold a candle to Jeffrey's, they were well-off by any standard.

together. And I've given you everything. Do you have any idea how hard it was to hide the pregnancy? I was terrified my parents would make me abort, or that one of your friends would see me and tell you. I only breathed a sigh of relief when our daughter was born."

he supposed to do, wish her dead? "I don't want to hear it. Just tell me what you want to do." His mind was racing towards a standstill. The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!

"That's impossible!" Jeffrey raised his
voice, glaring at her. "I'm getting engaged. What you're asking for is
out of the question." Paige looked at him, dumbfounded. "So you're planning to keep our and a secret from your fiancee?" "That's my business. It has nothing to do with you." "Jeffrey, you're such a jerk. If she finds out-" Suddenly, Jeffrey turned and strode toward her, his hand shooting out to clutch her throat. He snarled menacingly, "If you let her find out, I'll make sure your family can't show their face in Eldorria City ever again."
