Dorothy was lost in thought, the silence stretching on. To be more precise, she was at a loss for words.
In Everett's presence, she always felt an overwhelming gratitude, unsure of how she could possibly repay him for all he's done...
Over the phone, sensing his wife's turmoil, he chuckled softly, "I'll be home soon. Wait for me, will you?"
"Yeah, I will."
After hanging up, Dorothy gently caressed her daughter's tiny feet, her eyes misty with emotion as she smiled.
"Mama is the luckiest person in the world, don't you think?"
...
The day they moved back into Bay Residence was gloriously sunny.
Just the sight of the weather lifted Dorothy's spirits!
The place had been ready for a while, but Everett had delayed moving in, concerned about the safety of their baby.
As their belongings were gradually moved in, Dorothy stood by Everett, a constant smile on her lips.
"We're finally back."
"Yes." He tenderly ruffled her hair. "The lady of Bay Residence."
Her laughter bubbled up, feigning annoyance, "Someone wanted to sell this place before, remember?"
"How could I part with it after you've lived here?"
"Ah? I'm curious, what if..."
Before she could finish, Everett swiftly interjected, "No what ifs. Only you can be the lady of this house. I would never sell it, even if you never forgave my mother. No other woman would live here."
He had given Dorothy all the answers she needed.
She paused, then reached out to intertwine her fingers with his.
"Let's go home!"
"Okay."
They walked back into Bay Residence together.
The original parts of the house hadn't changed, only expanded by an additional building, connecting the two.
Dorothy touched the hallway cabinet, the dining room chairs, each object familiar and comforting.
"Let's check out the master bedroom."
Everett, with an arm around her shoulder, raised an eyebrow.
"Okay."

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...
