Everett's eyes darkened.
"I'll figure out a way to get my mom to accept Dorothy."
"No way in hell, son! Your mom is hell-bent on Heather. You heard her in the hospital, didn't you?"
Everett glanced towards his bedroom, "There's got to be a way."
He just hadn't thought of it yet.
Jonathan stayed quiet for a good while before he finally muttered, "Earlier, Heather pulled me aside and suggested that you two could pretend to be together in front of your mom. That can at least stabilize her condition! I'm not okay with lying to your mom. I’m afraid the truth will come out someday. But if you insist on not breaking up with Dorothy, then what Heather said is the only solution for now. Think about it."
With that, he hung up.
Everett stared at his phone screen. His thick eyebrows furrowed deeply.
He knew full well that persuading his mom would be next to impossible. Only a stalling tactic could solve the problem for now.
But he couldn't shake off an ominous feeling.
...
Perhaps exhausted from Everett's demands, Dorothy was sleeping soundly.
When she woke up the next day and saw the ceiling of Bay Residence, it took her a good while to recognize where she was.
She got up, freshened up, and walked out of the bedroom.
Everett, in his white home-wear, was typing away at his computer at the dining table. He was communicating about some company matters with his brows slightly furrowed.
A steaming hot breakfast was almost ready in the kitchen.
She hoped the moment could last forever.
Hearing the noise, Everett looked over, "Hold on, we can eat soon."

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...
