"Dorothy, you're skinny enough already," Everett teased, a playful smile tugging at his lips.
Dorothy couldn't help but laugh, covering her mouth as her eyes crinkled in amusement. "Well, I'm not dieting anymore. Remember you mentioned wanting another baby? I figured I should get all healthy and plump for that."
Everett's handsome face froze for a moment, then softened. "Yeah."
"This time, let's fill all the voids in your heart," Dorothy said, reaching out to hold his hand, feeling the warmth of his skin. "Everett, I love you."
Caught off guard, Everett stood frozen in the elevator for a few seconds before snapping back to reality. "Dorothy, what did you just say?"
"If you didn't hear it, never mind." Dorothy quickly turned her face away, her cheeks already burning.
Everett wasn't about to let her off the hook that easily. He physically turned her to face him. "Say it again."
"No, you heard me."
"If you don't say it now, you'll have to say it tonight in bed," Everett teased, a playful threat in his voice. "Either way, I'll make you say it."
Dorothy pushed at him playfully. "You can't bully me into it! You know I'm not as strong as you..."
"Then just say it, so it doesn't come to that."
"Not going to say it? Then let's head back to Bay Residence," he said, pretending to pull her away.
Dorothy quickly caved, "Stop! Okay, okay, I'll say it, isn't that enough?"
As she looked up, she saw the triumphant smile on Everett's face. He was just playing with her...
"I... I love you."
"That's not quite right," Everett corrected her, serious now. "It should be, 'I only love you.'"

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
