Between every clash of lips, Everett felt as if he had finally come to life. Dorothy was also nervous, her hand gripping his pajama top as she looked up to meet his kiss, a flush of modesty coloring her cheeks. But when the kiss ended, he made no move to go further.
Everett suddenly pulled away, standing up on the floor, "Enough."
"Everett?"
"My mother just passed away a few days ago, I can't do this with you."
Dorothy's lips quivered, her eyes cast down, "I'm sorry, I'll just go sleep in the master bedroom then."
She hadn't thought it all through. She just wanted to be by his side.
As Dorothy slowly rose and walked out of the guest room, closing the door behind her, Everett suddenly called out, "Dorothy."
"Yes?" She looked up, hope flickering in her eyes. She thought Everett would ask her to stay. But his next words extinguished the light in Dorothy’s eyes completely.
"I can't keep going on like this with you."
"..."
"I was too obsessed before, insisting on having you, and that led us into all this trouble. Your mother passed away, and my mother too... Dorothy, I can’t get past these things and be with you without any reservations."
Dorothy opened her mouth, her voice hoarse, "I've already told you about my mother's situation! I've let it go."
"But my mom is gone."
"..."

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...
