FreeNovelKaren had known Dorothy for a long time, and she knew that, before meeting Everett, Dorothy had been as cold as a winter's day to just about every guy out there.
In fact, even when sometimes all others needed was a little smile or a sweet word from her to smooth things over, she had refused to do so. She had a major case of man-repellent vibes! Seeing that Jeffrey still seemed not to understand, Karen tried to break it down for him in a different way.
"Imagine you have a million bucks," she said, "and you decided to giveeight hundred thousand. Everyone's gonna think you're head over heels for me, right? But what if I can't match that? Perhaps I only have ten thousand to my name, but I'm willing to give you every last penny. To outsiders, the difference between eight hundred thousand and ten thousand is huge. They'll start questioning the sincerity of our love, never realizing that those ten thousand is all I've got." Karen continued, "Dorothy was instilled with the belief from a young age to stay away from men, as they are all up to no good.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBella's greatest fear was that her daughter would repeat her own mistakes. However, when Dorothy discovered she was pregnant, she willingly chose to stay, boldly contradicting her mother's long-standing teachings and traversing the path her mother once took. The authenticity of her love should not be questioned." Jeffrey understood; he just smacked his lips and finally let out a sigh, "But Everett... that guy's got it tough, too. To stay true to Dorothy for over a decade, that's something else. Not many guys can do that." "Yeah, you got that right." "But hey, look at them now, as harmonious as a symphony, with kids and all. Nothing's standing in their way anymore. Just waiting for them to renew their vows and have the wedding they deserve. After that, it's our turn in the spotlight." Karen couldn't help but smirk.
Have the wedding they deserve? She wasn't so sure.
Dorothy thought that after Everett finished his meeting, he'd call her back.
He always used to! But she waited and waited, hours passing by. She even got Abigail and Langston down for a nap, had them wake up again, and still, not a peep from her phone.
What kind of meeting lasts that long? She was tempted to call and check in, but she didn't want to interrupt his work. S~Earch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Everett had been seriously injured saving her, so there must have been a backlog of work at the Lopez Corporation. As the CEO, with his strong sense of responsibility and dedication, it was only natural for him to be swamped at the office.
She figured that by nightfall, Everett would surely call her back. She decided to wait a little longer.
"Mommy, why isn't Daddy htoday?" Abigail, no longer used to his absence, asked as she cdownstairs and took her mother's hand.

Now that we're getting ready to head back to Swevia Country, he's got to wrap things up at his job!" Abigail pouted, "Will he bringcandy when he's done with work?" "Do you not want your teeth anymore?" "But I really want scandy!" Dorothy couldn't resist her daughter's charm and got up to fetch a small piece of candy from the drawer. Soon after, Langston cdownstairs with his laptop and opened it up on the table for his mom to see.
"Dad's acting weird today." "What's wrong?" "He's completely offline.” Langston pointed to the grayed-dut avatar. Didn't he 't he say he'd be busy at the office? He's not even logged into the Lopez Corporation's system?" Dorothy took a closer look.
