FreeNovelChapter 346
Mr. Lopez had brought his work along, leaving Kevin with no choice but to oblige
“Alright then, Mr. Lopez. Thank you”
Though they were supposed to be discussing work, once they sat down, neither of them seemed in the
mood for business.
There was only one thing on Kevin’s mind. Was Mr. Lopez going to continue pursuing Dorothy, or was
he heading back to Eldoria City tomorrow? Kevin could back his flight in advance if he knew
But at this moment, Kevin didn’t ask directly, figuring that Mr. Lopez might not even have made a firm
decision himself yet. It was best to let him think it over first.
“Ahem… Mr. Lopez, about the Everglow City project
“Kevin, do you think I’m being foolish?”
Kevin had intended to break the silence, but Everett beat him to it.
Kevin pondered a bit before finally sighing
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mr. Lopez, those who are heartbroken have usually invested their emotions deeply.”
“So, she didn’t invest in me.”
Kevin didn’t want to say the wrong thing, so he neither agreed nor disagreed.
Everett pursed his lips, poured himself a glass of whiskey and then drained it in one gulp. “I feel like I’m
drinking poison to quench my thirst, I want to see her one more time, but logically, I know I shouldn’t.
However, my subconscious always wants to chase after her. It never gives me a chance to think
rationally”
From childhood to adulthood, only Darathy could make him lose his senses completely.
He understood what the right thing to do was. He knew everything.
But he couldn’t help it.
“Mr. Lopez, Ms. Sanchez has already started a new life. You should too.”
“Yes, yes. I should move on.”
When hadn’t he wanted to move o
on?
Kevin poured himself a glass of whiskey, then chuckled
“Mr. L
Lopez come to think of it, this is our first time drinking together privately.”
“Yes, the company has relied a lot on you over the years.”
Kevin smiled and shook his head. “No, it’s your guidance that has brought me where I am today. So,
over the years, I’ve never thought of leaving the Lopez Corporation or you”
Everett didn’t know why he suddenly brought this up, so he just kept quiet and continued drinking.
“Mr. Lopez, you’re a great man, both professionally and personally. So, I think you should let yourself
move on, find a love that brings you happiness, and find a partner who will progress alongside you. I
used to think Ms. Sanchez was that person because, when you were with her you smiled the most. But
now I don’t think she is.”
Even though he didn’t know the reasons, he could clearly see Mr. Lopez’s distress and repeated
disappointments.
Everett remained silent and continued drinking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKevin knew his words were futile at this point. He could only wait for Mr. Lopez to come to terms with it.
So, he just kept his head down and joined him, glass after glass.
In the end, they hardly touched the food, but the whiskey was all gone.
“Mr. Lopez, you should get some rest Shall we head back to Eldonia City tomorrow?”
After a moment, Everett nodded. “Okay”
He watched Kevin leave, then, feeling a little tipay, he made his way to the bathroom to freshen up
before lying back down on the bed.
But he tossed and turned the entire time, unable to fall asleep.
He wondered if Dorothy had found the child she was concerned about.
In his distress, he picked up his phone to check for any messages. The first thing he saw was a photo
sent by Joffrey through WhatsApp.
His long fingers tapped the image, and a young child’s face appeared on the screen.
Everett’s handsome face changed instantly, and his pupils involuntarily constricted.
This child looked a lot like him.
Those eyebrows, that mouth, and those eyes. They were the spitting image of his.
But how could he have an illegitimate child? He had only ever been with Dorothy.
