As Everett's car rolled up to the front of Bay Residence, the atmosphere inside was buzzing with a blend of secrecy and anticipation.
Hearing the car, Langston swiftly grabbed his laptop, ready to bolt. As he dashed off, he couldn't resist throwing back a whispered warning, "Mom, don't tell Dad I spilled the beans, okay? Otherwise, I won't be able to sneak you his secrets anymore!"
"Alright," she replied, though she knew if Everett guessed on his own, there wasn't much to be done.
The moment Everett stepped in, the scene unfolded before him.
Langston scampered off like a cat with its tail on fire.
Shedding his suit jacket and slipping into more comfortable slippers, Everett approached Dorothy, "What's got into Langston? He looks like he's up to no good."
"Just some computer trouble he wants your help with," she deflected smoothly.
"Alright, I'll change and look into it."
For Everett, shedding his work attire for something more relaxed was a ritual, marking the shift from his professional to personal life. Unless a late-night international call demanded his attention, disrupting the family's private time, he did his best to keep his evenings free.
As he ventured into the bedroom to change into his casual wear, he felt arms wrap around him from behind—it was Dorothy.
"What's up?" he inquired, noting her clinginess today.
"It's been tough on you, hasn't it?" Dorothy expressed her concern warmly.
"Is this about Quincy?" Everett surmised.

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...
