Heather feigned worry, sighing heavily as she tried to convince Amanda, "Amanda, no matter what, he's Everett's child. You can't break Everett's heart just to take my side! I don't want to cause any strife between you and your son because of me."
"But look at him! First, he was involved with Dorothy, and now he's married to God knows who, without even telling me! Now, to top it all off, a child has shown up claiming to be his!" Amanda's fury grew with each word, causing the attending doctor to quickly calm her down.
"Amanda, your health is the most important thing! I'm not upset, as long as I can be by Everett's side in the end. Even if...even if I never have a proper title, I would be content."
"No, I owe you the title of the Lopez family's young lady! I must give it to you! As for the child, don't worry about anything. If Everett ever blames you, just push it all onto me and say I forced you to do it!"
This was exactly what Heather wanted to hear. She was genuinely worried about Amanda's well-being. Currently, Heather had a place in the Lopez family thanks to Everett's parents. If they were gone, it would be a different story.
Backed by Amanda, Heather could proceed as if nothing happened.
After all, even if Everett found out, she could just say that his mother forced her to do it. His mother admitted it, so they couldn't blame her, right?
However, she had to put on a worried front.
"Amanda...I'm really afraid he will be angry with you. Maybe I should tell him the truth."
"No! He's been angry with me since I stopped him from being with Dorothy. What more could he do to me? But if you tell the truth, wouldn't that give him an excuse?"
Amanda still believed that her son was just too young and indecisive to realize Heather's worth yet. But given time, he would understand.
"I'll handle everything. I'll back you up and keep those little vixens at bay! They dare to dream of becoming my daughter-in-law. Dream on."
"Thank you in advance, Amanda!"

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...
