Dorothy could tell what was on his mind, so she gently laid her hand on the back of his.
"I'm not tired. I think this is what makes life worthwhile."
Though she knew it was impossible for her to be on par with Everett through hard work due to his status, she didn’t want to be seen as someone who agreed to be with him for his money.
That would be no different from being a kept woman.
"Alright. Just don't push yourself too hard."
"I won't; don't worry."
After Everett went to freshen up and changed into his pajamas, Dorothy, too sleepy to hold on, finally turned off her computer.
Throughout the night, he held Dorothy in his arms. They were like a pair of inseparable conjoined twins.
Who could have guessed that the usually private Everett was the seriously clingy type?
In the early morning, the sunlight slipped through the gap in the curtains, warming their bedroom.
Dorothy was the first to wake. As she scrunched up her beautiful eyebrows and was about to open her eyes, she felt his hand around her waist and that certain part of Everett pressing against her back.
It was pressing against her, fully erect.
Usually, it was Everett who woke up first, so this was Dorothy's first time realizing that men could have reactions even in their sleep.
Was he having a wet dream?
Dorothy felt inexplicably nervous. Her body stiffened, and she somehow found herself immobile.
Just then, Everett's body leaned forward, poking her in the waist with that certain part.
Subconsciously, Dorothy turned to look at him, meeting his slightly drowsy eyes.
"What time is it?"
Perhaps because he had just woken up, his voice had a grainy rasp to it, which imbued it with a dark magnetism.
"6:30."
Soon, Everett noticed the stiffness of the woman in his arms and discovered the reason.
"Ahem, I'll go freshen up. You must be tired from the trip, so you should sleep a little more.” Dorothy was about to bolt, but she was reluctantly pulled back into his arms.

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...
