Everett had been frozen in place for a while, and Dorothy was taken aback.
"What's the matter, don't you like the fact that Jeffrey has two daughters?"
"I love it. I really do." Everett walked over and gently stroked her hair. "He should have two daughters, get a taste of what it's like to worry all day long."
"Uh?"
"Letting Jeffrey always charm other people's daughters without taking responsibility, now it's his turn to worry about his daughters being charmed away."
Dorothy couldn't help but chuckle at his remark.
Just thinking about Jeffrey's face when his daughters start dating was enough to know it would be quite a show.
No! The show would start the moment he knows his daughters are in love!
"Should we go congratulate Jeffrey in person?"
"Sure, you wanna go?"
It was rare for Dorothy to suggest going out, so Everett naturally wouldn't refuse.
"I haven't seen Karen in a few days, but if you're busy, I can go alone!" She knew that because of her, Everett had been bringing work home, piling up a lot of tasks.
Every night, after she fell asleep, he would quietly get up to work overtime.
Dorothy was unaware of this until one night, she woke up to find the bed empty beside her.
"I'll come with you." Everett wouldn't dare let her out of his sight. "I actually have some work with Jeffrey anyway."
"Really?"
"Really!" He was almost ready to swear on it.
Dorothy thought for a moment. "Let's take Abigail and Langston with us? I think Karen would love to see them too."
"Okay."
...
"You're just here to tease me!" Jeffrey pretended to clutch his heart in anguish. "One daughter was enough for me to worry about, and now, another surprise! It's my karma!"
Karen turned to glare at him. "What, not happy I didn't give you a son? Fine, then I don't want this baby!"
"Hey! Don't talk like that." Dorothy immediately cautioned, patting her hand.
Jeffrey instantly covered his mouth, almost wishing he could sew it shut!
"No, no, no, I'm satisfied! I'm a thousand times satisfied! Whatever my wife gives me, I'm happy with! It's just... I'm afraid my daughters will be taken away by someone!"
Having one was already enough to keep him up at night, and now another was on the way!
While the adults were chatting, Langston could understand some and not all of it.
He tilted his head, trying to make sense of it all, before finally speaking up, "Mr. Turner is afraid his daughters will have boyfriends and stop loving him?"
"Yes!" Jeffrey immediately nodded. "Langston! Top-notch understanding!"

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
