Seeing Everett hadn't moved, she urged again, "Everett?"
"…I'll go make the toast first, make sure you come back soon."
"Sure."
Dorothy waved her hand, watching as Everett took his leave, vanishing from her sight.
At that moment, Jonathan chuckled softly, "My son, he's truly head over heels for you."
"Everett has been very kind to me." Dorothy stood there, proper and a bit uncomfortable.
It wasn't that she was nervous, but meeting and being alone with an elder like this was new to her, hence the awkwardness.
"Everett got his temperament from me, once he sets his mind on something, he won't budge." Jonathan sighed, "Truth be told… I knew early on that Everett's mom wasn't exactly the saint she was made out to be, aware of the unsavory things she did in secret. But because she was the woman I chose as my wife, I always ended up covering for her, letting her have her way as long as she was happy."
"…"
"I believe, if it were you, Everett would do the same! But, you're different, you're kind-hearted."
Jonathan, of course, knew about Dorothy's charitable deeds and donations.
What she did was fundamentally different from other businesspeople.
Because Dorothy didn't need to use charity as a facade, she could simply ask, and Everett would give her anything.
Her acts of charity were genuine.
Dorothy didn't know what to say, so she just looked down at her shoes.
Considering her pregnancy, Everett had picked out flat shoes for her, adorned with delicate embroidery and pearls.
"Dorothy."
