Kevin had finally caught on.
A simple "I don't know" seemed to be his get-out-of-jail-free card for just about anything.
How else was he supposed to help Mr. Lopez cover up for his little escapades? God forbid their stories didn't match up. That would spell disaster.
"Fair enough."
Dorothy probably didn't think too much into it.
After all, schmoozing was Everett's least favorite activity. If there was any chance to shove it off onto Jeffrey, he'd take it in a heartbeat!
So, the moment he wrapped up at the office, he'd be home.
"Is Ms. Sanchez worried Mr. Lopez is out there chasing skirts?" Kevin couldn't help but chuckle.
Dorothy waved the notion away, "Oh, I don't worry about that one bit. Everett's not that kind of guy. It's just... getting used to being a wife, you know? After years of flying solo, having a partner around is still something I'm adjusting to. But Everett... he gets upset if he thinks I don't care about him."
The man actually wanted to be kept in check!
If he came home late and she didn't ask where he'd been or what he was up to, he'd sulk.
Claiming she didn't care about him anymore. That he wasn't in her heart.
Kevin burst out laughing, "So Mr. Lopez is basically a big kid behind closed doors."
"And you're just realizing this after all these years?"
"Well, it's not that. It's just... Mr. Lopez always struck me as the aloof type."
Who would've thought he was anything but the strong, silent type?
This behind-the-scenes persona was a far cry from the Mr. Lopez everyone knew.
"I used to think the same," Dorothy pondered aloud. "Even back in junior high, he was quite the reserved one!"
"Was it Mr. Lopez who didn't talk, or you who didn't talk to him?"
"...A bit of both."
Back in her school days, Dorothy's mind was solely on her studies and making money.
She wasn't looking for trouble!
And Everett? He was quite the figure in school. Getting too close meant risking being cornered by jealous classmates after school. No thank you.

Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
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....
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....
