Before everything was resolved, he wouldn't leave.
Dorothy remained silent, just watching him. As she watched, a sudden smile appeared on her face.
"Everett, do you know? You were always so gentle that I mistook you for someone kind and considerate... I even forgot who you really are," she said, tugging at her lips. "How could I forget? You're a businessman, with power, prestige, and influence. After you stopped loving me, what right did I have to negotiate with you?"
She didn't even need to doubt Everett's words. He had said it himself. As long as he disagreed, the kids wouldn't be leaving Eldorria City, let alone the country. Yes! Everett certainly had that power.
The problem was with herself. She had forgotten how powerful Everett's influence was, thinking he would respect her decisions as he used to, even if she was being unreasonable, even if she had abandoned him over and over again.
"You..." Everett's lips moved, but harsh words were all he could muster, "It's good you understand."
"What are you planning then? To imprison me if I insist on taking the kids with me?"
"..."
Dorothy laughed, "Although I don't know your purpose, let me tell you, you won't manipulate me! I'll take the kids. If you disagree, then I'll just have to do it by force."
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Watch me."
Their eyes locked, and in hers, Everett saw not only disappointment but determination. That was what Everett feared the most.
"Dorothy, I've loved you. I don't want things to be this way."
"I don't want it either. So, after we break up, let's not linger on this. I'll take the kids, and you won't have to think about us anymore."
