Dorothy blinked a few times before finally nodding. "Alright, she said so."
Everett, taking long strides, went straight into the hotel room and shut the door.
Although they had done more intimate things many times before, being suddenly cornered by him like this and surrounded by his scent still made Dorothy a bit flustered.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't listen to my mom’s crap."
Dorothy looked into his eyes and was shocked to see anxiety there.
"It's none of my business." She tried to put some distance between her and Everett. Being this close made her breath uneven.
But Everett, seemingly on purpose, followed her every move.
Finally, he sighed softly.
"My mom was kidnapped once and became withdrawn for a while after being rescued. She developed severe depression and often had suicidal tendencies."
Dorothy had no idea that Everett's mother had gone through all this. She had just met her and thought she was bubbly and talkative. Her voice was gentle and pleasing to the ear; she seemed like the perfect, caring mother. Dorothy had a hard time associating her with depression.
But why was he telling her all this?
"I can't just let her accept our marriage. I'm sorry." Everett said bitterly.
It took Dorothy almost a minute to digest this apology from Everett before she spoke, "Why are you apologizing to me?" She pursed her lips. It took her a while to say, "Since Amanda only wants you to marry Heather, maybe we should just end our agreement early."
