When Everett heard what was said, he visibly paused, a moment of silence hanging between them.
Dorothy was about to speak when he cut her off.
“Dorothy.”
“I’m here.”
“Did you have the kid call me?”
Confused by Everett’s question, Dorothy started to explain, “It was Abigail who said she—”
“Have you had enough?” Everett interrupted her sharply, “You know my mom just passed, and all I've been doing is either being at the office or the funeral home, and you still have Abigail call me? What are you trying to pull?”
“…”
“Dorothy, can’t I even spend time mourning my mother?”
“That’s not what I meant!”
“Then what did you mean?”
Dorothy was taken aback by his interpretation, but before she could explain, he wouldn’t listen.
“Everett, please, calm down. I know you’re upset, and I’m not feeling any joy or happiness over this either! You don’t want to see me, and I’ve kept my distance. This was really just Abigail saying she missed you.”
“Whatever, I don’t have time for this.”
With that, Everett hung up.
His change of tone felt foreign to Dorothy, something she had never experienced with him before.
Abigail was obviously more confused, standing still for a long moment before bursting into tears.
“Mommy! Did daddy get mad? Did Abigail do something wrong? Does daddy not want me anymore?”
Dorothy quickly embraced her, “No, sweetie, that’s not it! Daddy’s just been in a bad mood lately, remember what mommy told you? Now, stop crying and go play with your brother, he’s waiting for 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...
