"I can't hold back much longer."
"..."
Dorothy really didn't want to continue this topic with him anymore!
Every single time, she'd end up blushing and speechless, unable to get the upper hand in their conversations!
Ever since they moved in together, his way with words just seemed to get sharper by the day, often leaving Dorothy too embarrassed to even listen.
Such a stark contrast to the cool, aristocratic Mr. Lopez everyone sees in public!
Who would've thought, huh? The CEO of Lopez Corporation, spouting just about anything behind closed doors...
After leaving the Trust-E diner, Everett picked up Abigail and Langston before heading back to Bay Residence.
On the way, Dorothy mentioned their trip to Everglow City, ending with, "If you're swamped with work, it's okay to skip it. Don't push yourself."
"I'd ditch work in a heartbeat to go."
"Mr. Lopez, why do I get the feeling you're not as obsessed with work these days?" Dorothy remembered Everett as a total workaholic.
Seems like ever since that detox incident and his hospital stint, his focus had shifted away from the company.
He walked over and hugged her from behind.
"I worked my tail off before. Now, isn't it okay for me to slack off a bit?"
"I don't mind you slacking. I'm just worried you're neglecting your responsibilities for me. It's just a trip; we can always go another time. But if Lopez Corporation misses out on a project, that's potentially billions down the drain."
"Being with you is my top priority."
Everett sounded serious, but Dorothy couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Lopez, have you been secretly reading up on pick-up lines or something?" How does he come up with these lines so effortlessly?

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...
