My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 3187

Chapter 3187

Everett felt extremely low, the lowest he’s ever been since coming back to San Joto, all thanks to Doretta before him.

"I have nowhere else to go. If you don't help me, I might just turn myself in," Doretta said, desperately trying to make Everett react.

"Do you think I care if you turned yourself in? Once I ran from the police, I knew I couldn't go back," Everett said angrily, upset that she was trying to threaten him.

When Doretta saw her threat didn’t work, she stood up, ready to leave, saying, "I'll go out now."

"You crazy woman," Everett snapped. He grabbed her, seething with frustration.

"Let me go!" Doretta struggled.

"Stay put," Everett warned her sternly.

While they were arguing, they heard a voice from outside. "Did you hear that noise?"

Another voice asked, "Really?”

Right away, Everett and Doretta stopped moving and held their breath.

Someone seemed to wait outside for a bit, then, hearing no more sounds, moved on.

"Why did it stop? I'm sure I heard something."

"It's quiet; you must've been mistaken."

"Perhaps."

Once the footsteps were gone, Everett and Doretta breathed out in relief. They looked at each other, deciding to pause their argument.

Everett looked at Doretta with a calculating expression, as though he was thinking up a plan.

Doretta was biting her lip, glaring at Everett with anger, as if he had wrecked her life and owed her everything.
