"Seriously?" Everett hesitated, suddenly feeling like he'd shown too many of his cards, which left him a bit embarrassed.
After all that firm insistence on breaking up, after all the harsh words exchanged, he hadn't even changed the password.
"Either it is or it isn't, why the hesitation? Forgot it already?"
Dorothy just had to tilt her head up, locking eyes with him.
Left with no choice, Everett caved and told the truth.
"Didn't change it."
"If you did—"
The moment Dorothy spoke, Everett's gaze froze, as if waiting for her to continue.
She suddenly broke into a smile, her eyes crinkling with mischief, "Then I'd just change it back."
"..."
"Besides, Bay Residence is my turf, I'm the one who gets to decide on the passwords."
Everett was mesmerized by her smile, so much that he forgot to look away for a moment.
It took him a while to come back to his senses, finally saying, "Bay Residence is yours."
That place held all their cherished memories, and he wouldn't allow anyone else to step foot in it.
...
Everett wanted to call off work to help her move, but Dorothy refused.
She said, "You go handle your business, don't put off anything on my account! I want to see if I can stand on my own two feet."
Eventually, Dorothy's firm stance meant Everett went off to work.
But not before he dropped Abigail and Langston off at school.
Back home, Dorothy was repacking things she'd just organized.
Unlike when she first moved in, she even felt like humming a tune.
When her phone rang, Dorothy was folding clothes.

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...
