Chapter 429

Dorothy remembered the last time she heard Everett speak with such tenderness; it was because Bella

insisted on taking her boyfriend to the hospital.

Back then, his tone was just like it is now–gentle, affectionate, as if he wished he could drown her in his

love.

Unfortunately, she hadn’t believed in his declarations of love back then.

As for the second time, she couldn’t even trust that he would betray his own kin.

“Everett, you wouldn’t want to know the truth.”

“No, I do.” Everett cradled her face as if holding a precious gem, his gaze resolute, “Dorothy, tell me.”

He was tired of being pushed away whenever trouble brewed, of having to investigate on his own. He

wanted to be Dorothy’s rock, to have her confide in him, share her grievances, bitterness, and rage,

and then face it all together.

As Dorothy’s mind raced through countless possibilities, she suddenly snapped back to reality and

shoved Everett hard.

“The truth is I despise you, and I despise your entire family, I want you to stay away from me! I’ve fallen

for Kenneth and..”

Her words were cut off as Everett’s kiss swallowed the rest of her sentence.

But this kiss wasn’t as fierce as the last

Once Everett breached her defenses, his tongue began to gently draw out the sweetness of her,

carefully tracing every contour of her mouth.

Today’s Everett was extraordinarily off–kilter, Dorothy didn’t know what he had gone through.

After a few fut le attempts to break free, she slapped Everett across the face.

A red mark instantly appeared on his handsome cheek.

“Have

you

lost your mind?

“Yes, Ive gone mad” Even he didn’t understand what he was doing.

He hadn’t just lost it today: he’d been mad since the day they divorced. Otherwise, how could he be

compelled to obsessively track down news about her, repeatedly urging himself to let go of the past, to

release Dorothy from his thoughts? Yet, at the slightest rustle, his heart would resurrect, impossible to

extinguish.

Dorothy’s name was etched into his DNA, unalterable.

How could Everett not feel shame? He had always been the golden boy, the focal point of adoration

wherever he went!

Confronted with her indifference and the harsh words that fell from her lips time and time again, he felt

hurt and discomfort. Yet, he found himself drawn to her like a moth to a flame

Heaven knows how elated he was when he confirmed that Langston was the child Dorothy had borne

for him.

He wanted to confront her immediately, demand to know why she’d been so cruel as to keep it from

him, why she lied!

But he said nothing, choosing instead to continue the charade with Dorothy.

Now that he had maneuvered her back into his life, he couldn’t let her slip away again.

“Let me go, I have to leave!” Dorothy didn’t want to tangle with him anymore; she had more pressing

matters today.

But after just a few steps, Everett’s icy voice reached her from behind.

“I’ve already invited the person you were planning to meet with Kenneth for a chat.”

Dorothy froze, then slowly turned around, “You’ve been investigating Kenneth?”

“Indeed.” Everett admitted without hesitation

If he could ruthlessly deal with a Lane, what made Kenneth any different?

“Everett, I need to see Byte 71 It’s vitally important!” Dorothy wouldn’t let go of even a sliver of hope.

“If I’m in a good mood, maybe ill consider letting you meet him.”

Dorothy clenched her teeth, “And what will put you in a good mood?”

“Come back to Bay Residence with me.”
