"Mmm."
Everett couldn't keep his gaze on her for too long, quickly averting his eyes.
"Will you be coming home tonight?"
It took Dorothy a moment of internal struggle before she could voice her question.
She was afraid of receiving an answer she didn't want, afraid it might irritate Everett, but...
But she needed to know.
"Not sure."
"Daddy, can you come home tonight, please?" Abigail piped up, voicing the question Dorothy didn't dare to ask.
Langston was a clever one; he had sensed something off between their parents when Kevin hinted at pretending to be sick.
Seeing that they might have had a fight, he reluctantly decided to play along.
"Yeah, Daddy, please come home tonight! I have so many questions for you."
With both kids pleading, it would seem suspicious if Everett refused, potentially raising Dorothy's suspicions.
A sudden coldness couldn't be too apparent.
"I'll come home after work, then."
"Yay! Awesome! I love you, Daddy!" Abigail cheered, planting a kiss on his cheek.
Everett had no defense against his daughter.
Hearing his promise to come home, Dorothy visibly relaxed.
Everett didn't look at her again, putting down his daughter before heading towards the door.
Just as he reached it, Dorothy suddenly stepped forward, grabbing his hand!
"Everett, wait."
"Hmm?" He turned around instinctively.
"Kenneth was in a car accident and is in the hospital now. Karen said he's out of danger and moved to a regular room. I want to go see him."
Kenneth.
His biggest rival.
Everett's expression turned complex for a moment.

I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
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....
