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"My mom was kidnapped once and became withdrawn for a while after being rescued.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."

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...
