Dorothy smiled, a genuine warmth flooding her heart. Indeed, she felt fortunate to have crossed paths with Everett. It was as if all the trials and tribulations life had thrown her way were just setting the stage for this monumental payoff.
Everett walked in just in time to catch the tail end of their conversation. Julian, upon noticing him, couldn't hide his sheepish guilt and was about to stammer an explanation when Everett, ever so naturally, took Dorothy's hand in his.
"Did Langston call you over?" Everett inquired, his tone casual yet filled with an underlying assertion.
"How do you always know?" Julian quipped, his competitive nature surfacing at the sight of Everett, unable to resist the urge to challenge him.
Everett, not one to stoop to the level of what he considered childish banter, simply smiled. "Who else would it be? Dorothy?"
Julian scoffed, his attempt to maintain an air of indifference crumbling. "I was going to clarify that Dorothy and I were just chatting, nothing more. But seeing how smug you are, I don't even feel like explaining anymore!"
Everett, with a sly grin, wrapped an arm around Dorothy's shoulder. "No need for explanations. I trust her."
In his heart, Dorothy was his and his alone.
"I'll leave you to it. I should go keep Langston company," Dorothy said, eager to escape their juvenile exchanges.
Julian, attempting to lighten the mood, asked, "So, when's the big day for you two?"
"Soon enough."
"Let me know when. I'd like to be there," Julian said, adding with a mischievous glint, "It's almost like attending the wedding with Dorothy. Just... not as the groom."
Everett finally frowned, giving Julian a stern look.
"Looking for trouble, are we?"

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....
