Lane was dumbstruck the moment he said this.
Others might not know, but Lane sure did. He’d seen Dorothy’s daughter, and she indeed looked a lot
like Everett
In that instant, he could even confirm it
Dorothy’s daughter was Everett’s
Luckily, Jeffrey didn’t notice Lane’s reaction, and he just nodded to himself, letting out a lang sigh of
relief. “But thank goodness they’ve been separated for over four years and that her kids only two It
can’t be Everett’s”

“Hey, do you have a picture of Dorothy’s daughter?” After he asked, he noticed that I ane seemed a bit
distracted, so he waved his hand in front of him. “What are you thinking about?”
Lane gave him an awkward smile. “Ah nothing, just some work stuff! What were you saying?”
“Do you have a picture of Dorothy’s daughter?wart to see her
Lane’s handsome face paused for a moment, then he shook his head stiffly. “No, her Twitter and
Instagram are all work stuff.”
“Oh, never mind then. Im not that curious about what her daughter looks like, as long as she’s not
Everetts. Let’s get back to our drinks, tum the page on this one and pretend you never knew.” Jeffrey
flagged down a waiter to change ther glasses. He could now finally eat and drink with a weight lifted
ofths shoulders
Lane, after a long silence, managed to conjure a smile again. “Yes, let’s turn the page! Are you
planning on telling Mr. Lopez about this when you get back to Odomia City?”
“What? That I ran into Dorothy? He already knows
“But he doesn’t know about her having a daughter, does he?
Jeffrey waved him off. “Nape. I just found out right now. I haven’t had the chance to tell h
Lane chuckled as he refilled Jeffrey’s glass think you shouldn’t tell him. Forly upset Mr. Lopez more,

“You don’t get it My buddy doesn’t know when to quit. He might say he’s given up, but I know he hasn’t.
He’s still hung up on Dorothy, and I need him to get over her completely”
Lane shook his head. “That’s exactly why you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhy you shoudnitel him! I can tell Mr. Lopez still has a thing for Dorothy, but he’s too stubborn to admit
it. Don’t tell him. In time, hell forget her. What he needs now is to hear less of Dorothy”
Jeffrey raised an eyebrow. “Really?”
“Absolutely! There’s a saying, isn’t there? Time heals al wounds”
“Hmm… makes sense. 111 pretend I don’t know anything, and I won’t mention Dorothy when I get
back. She doesn’t seem interested in getting back with him anyway”
Lane nodded and felt pleased to see that the topic was settled. He then quickly changed the subject.
“Come on, let’s eat. This is a local delicacy in Everglow City. Try HI”
“Sure, it’s good. Very tasty.”
Jeffrey just thought that Lane was being very hospitable and didn’t give it another thought
He had no idea that Lane, who had been downcast just moments ago, was suddenly exhilarated.
Lane’s thin lips couldn’t stop curling up. Because he had found Dorothy’s biggest secret, and with this,
how could Dorothy refuse him?
