The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

I never thought I'd come in handy for something else at a crucial moment.

Everett reached out to take it.

He could never rain on Dorothy's parade. Whenever he faced her, rejection was simply not in his vocabulary.

"Where do you wanna go?"

"Havenbrook City." Dorothy wasn't naive; she had thought this through!

Roaming around Eldorria City was risky business!

She couldn't let Everett's meticulously planned operations go to waste just because she felt like having a little fun.

So, leaving Eldorria City and donning a disguise should do the trick.

"Heading back to school?"

Everett hit the nail on the head.

Dorothy nodded, "Remember that diner we used to go to? The owner's still rooting for us to end up together! Imagine, you and I haven't been in the same frame ever since. I wanna tell her that our connection hasn't been severed." That place was also a testament to Everett and Dorothy's relationship.

Dorothy walked over and held his hand, "Imagine her surprise when we walk in hand in hand."

"Not really."

"Why not?"

A smile played on Everett's lips, "Because she knows what's in my heart. Winning you back was only a matter of time."

He clasped Dorothy's hand, his voice deep, "Once this is all over, let's get married."

"Deal! You better throw me a grand wedding, this time, no regrets."

The whole antidote situation had been weighing heavily on both Everett and Dorothy's hearts, even though they tried their best not to show it. Everett was worried, ridden with guilt.

Dorothy, on the other hand, was more concerned about him feeling that way.

Seeing how things were about to come to a head, whether for better or worse, their mood for this outing was distinctly different. "Everett."

Dorothy glanced at him as he drove.

"Hmm?"

"Do you ever feel like we're eloping?"

She watched the night scenery through the car window, the two of them sneaking out and rushing towards Havenbrook City, it did feel a bit like eloping.

Hearing her lighthearted tone, Everett's lips curved into an indulgent smile, his eyes filled with affection.

"So, is this the kind of eloping where our parents disapprove, or... where your husband disapproves?"

Dorothy paused before catching his drift.

"This is the kind my ex-husband disapproves of."

"Well, your ex-husband approves now."

Dorothy laughed at his jest, humming a tune and gazing out at the night, as if all the weight had lifted off her shoulders in that moment!

Suddenly, she spoke.

"Everett, if if our plan doesn't work out, and despite all our efforts, we can't get the antidote, could you take some time off work? Just drive me around, keep going forward.

He immediately frowned, his lips pressed tightly, about to speak.

Dorothy quickly cut him off, "I said, if!"

"I don't like entertaining such ifs."

"Just promise me, okay?" Her smile was genuine, not forced, "You've been trapped because of me for so long, I don't like seeing you so

Dorothy went on for a while, but Everett didn't bite.

Finally, she sighed, "I know you've done your best, and I know you love me. That's enough."

"Not enough." His voice was soft, "You also need to know, whether in life or death, I'll be with you." So, he had to succeed.
