Everett’s voice camed a hint of defeat, a stark contrast to his usual assertive demeanor. Seeing him
this way. Langston couldn’t help but feel a pang of discomfort. After a moment’s thought, he reached
out his small hand and gently wrapped his fingers around his.
Everett suddenly looked up, locking eyes with him
What did this gesture mean? It was an acknowledgment of the words he had just said.
As Everett began to speak, his throat tightened, his voice quivering with emotion. “She… she’s really
your mom, isn’t she?”
Langston instinctively wanted to feign ignorance, but after spending these past days together, he knew
all too well that his so called acting skills were no match for Everett’s sharp perception. The look of loss

tell her I said anything.” Everett froze, even though he had suspected Dorothy all along, the
confirmation of the truth left him speechless with shock.
Dorothy had a child with him. No, not just one!
“You have a sister too, night? Is she my child as well?”
Langston nodded vigorously. “Of course! Mom doesn’t have a boyfriend! It’s just that my sister doesn’t

“Okay, I won’t tell.”
“Jeez, when did I get on your side? Langston muttered, puzzled, but he seized the opportunity to make

It was true. His suspicions were confirmed
Dorothy, so adamant about the divorce, had given birth to two children after they parted ways!
She certainly didn’t love Kenneth. She had lied to him!
But why?
Why did she make that choice?
Back then, he had truly believed Dorothy wanted to be with Kenneth. He agreed to the divorce simply
