Over the years, she'd thought about providing her son and daughter with a full-fledged family.
However, Everett had stolen her heart so completely that no other man could make her feel the same way. As time passed, she completely gave up on the idea.
Perhaps if she didn't have two children, she might have given Lane, who was trying so hard to win her over, a chance. But with children in the picture, she couldn't.
Whether Lane could be a good stepfather or not didn’t matter. Dorothy didn't want him to replace Everett in their lives.
Everett was innocent in their divorce. He hadn't done anything wrong.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDorothy knew that.
This time, Dorothy had chosen to stay near Tranquil Road during her business trip to Havenbrook City.
The only place that made her nostalgic was the school.
There, she had the chance to learn and see a world beyond her job. The world where people her age should be.
There, she met Everett.
After checking into her hotel, Dorothy went straight to the fast-food joint where she used to work.
Many years had passed, and it looked like they had renovated the place. The storefront looked new, and the sign was new too.
After walking in, Dorothy was immediately recognized by the owner.
"You're Dorothy, right?" "Yes, that's me." Dorothy pulled out a chair and took a seat as she looked around the newly refurbished place. "When did you guys renovate?" It was during school hours, so the place wasn't crowded. The owner pulled up a chair and sat next to her.
"We renovated over a year ago. The place was getting old, and the money we were making wasn't enough to cover the costs.
We thought about selling the place, but a young man contacted us. He wanted us to keep it open and even offered to pay for the renovations." "Really? We figured he must be a student from the school. He must have some sentimental attachment to this place.” The owner thought for a moment. "It's the same young man | mentioned to you last time you were here. He was the one who suggested we stay open till ten at night. I thought he was doing it for you." Because after ten, Dorothy was the only one who would come.
"It's probably just a coincidence.” "He's a handsome one; he’s tall too." The owner suddenly slapped her thigh. "I remember! The last time he was here, | snapped a picture of him. Let me show you. See if you recognize him." As she got up to get her phone, Dorothy didn't think much of it. She didn't realize what was going on.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen she saw the picture on the owner's phone.
It was Everett.
Even though the picture was a bit blurry, it seemed like it was taken secretly. His face wasn't completely in the frame, but Dorothy could recognize him with just a glance.
It was him.
"He asked you to stay open late when he was in middle school?" "Yes! Otherwise, we wouldn't have stayed open till ten. We would have gone bankrupt. You were the only one who came in for a meal. It wasn't even enough to cover the electricity bill." Dorothy was speechless.
Dorothy realized her eyes were welling up with tears. She couldn't control it.
He had done so much for her, but he never mentioned it.
"Oh dear, why are you crying?" The owner quickly handed her a tissue. "Did the handsome guy steal your heart? Are you two together?”
