It was only Quincy I had seen earlier.
So, this scent must be hers.
Which means...
Earlier, when Everett left, I thought he went to the hospital, not wanting to tell me he was actually meeting Quincy.
Dorothy tugged at her own shirt, sniffing it carefully again.
Sure enough, the fragrance was the same one I had detected on Everett.
Sighing, she stood up to wash her hands before returning to her seat.
Everett, with his blazer draped over one arm, was waiting for her.
Dorothy approached him, offering a smile, "Could you drive me back to the office? There's a bit of a situation with the project team I need to handle."
"Sure."
Back in the car, Dorothy rested her head against the window, silent.
After several glances, Everett couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Dorothy replied, sitting up straight before eventually changing her statement, "Everett, I understand you meeting Quincy was for my sake."
"..."
"So you really don't have to hide it from me."
Even the perfume scent, she understood, was linked to Everett's intentions to conceal the truth.
Perhaps my previous emotional breakdown frightened him; now, he's always so cautious, careful not to do anything that might upset me.
But, it's okay.
Once I start to truly accept someone, I don't want to be suspicious of them, whether they're a friend or a partner.
"Yeah, next time I need to see her, I'll tell you."
"Everett, you've been walking on eggshells around me, and it's been hard watching you struggle! No more of that, okay? Just be open with me, and I promise I won't jump to conclusions anymore. If something's on my mind, I'll be straight with you."
Everett nodded.

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....
