The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

If Aurora had never graced his life, Craig could have survived these desolate and lonely days, merely existing, getting by without much thought to what he was missing.

But once he'd seen the colors of a flower, how could he ever go back to enduring the endless, monotonous beige of the desert?

"Aurora, I won't agree to a divorce. Don't think you can just walk away from me!"

"Is there even a point in saying that now?"

Tears welled up in Aurora's eyes, yet she refused to meet his gaze. "I gave you so many chances, but you never put me first. Your mom's issues always took precedence, and I could understand your loyalty to her, willing to take the back seat. But it shouldn't mean I have to also take steps back for your career, for your past relationships!"

She had endured everything she could.

For what?

Wasn't it all because she loved Craig?

When they were together, many doubted their relationship, but Aurora never cared about those opinions!

But what about him?

Craig would repeatedly go to Magnolia's to have drinks, all because Walter had been good to him in the past!

He knew what those intentions were, knew that Magnolia had feelings for him!

Aurora couldn't understand.

Was rejection really that hard?

Was setting boundaries really that difficult?

Or was it just that Craig didn't want to?

Because he felt, this was his world, with his own reasons and social exchanges.

And in this world, Aurora would never fit in.

"One last time, I'm asking for one last chance!"

Craig really wasn't good at sweet-talking.

Growing up, aside from his mother, Aurora was the first woman he'd ever been close to.

And with his lack of eloquence, even though he was desperate, all he could muster were these words.

He tried to reach for Aurora's hand, but she avoided him.

"It's over."

Her voice was faint, almost ethereal as if coming from afar, "Craig, it's really over between us."

"No, I won't accept it. I'll never agree to it!"

Aurora didn't want to argue anymore; it was pointless.

Once she made up her mind, she didn't want to change it.

She had given him chances.

She couldn't keep giving forever.

"Doctor, please make him leave. His presence upsets me."

Aurora turned away, refusing to look at him, her voice cold.

Craig had never heard her speak like this.

He wanted to say more, but then Aurora's labor pains intensified!

Seeing Aurora in such agony, Craig asked softly, "Do you really... not want me here with you?" "Leave! I don't!"noveldrama

"... Then I'll wait outside. Don't stress yourself, I'll be outside."

"I don't need you to wait!"

After Aurora spoke, another wave of pain hit her, turning her face pale.

Craig pressed his lips together, having no choice but to leave.

...

Outside, Dorothy immediately stood up to greet him as he emerged.

"How's Abigail doing?"

Craig shook his head, looking

"It's understandable she wouldn't want

that woman?"

Everett had already sent someone to investigate.

Given it involved his daughter, he was not one to turn a blind eye.

"There's nothing between us! Really! Walter just took good care of mezin the past, and I felt it wasn't right to cut ties with him at this time, so when he invited me to dinner! went."

"You knew his daughter had feelings for you, didn't you?"

Craig lowered his head, "I knew."

"Then what's there to feel wronged about?"
