"I... I have no idea what you're talking about!" Dorothy stammered, her gaze darting away from Everett's intense scrutiny.
Everett leaned in, his handsome face inches away from hers. "Then what exactly do you mean by 'nibbling and biting'?"
Trying to feign composure, Dorothy averted her eyes. "Mr. Lopez, surely your marriage isn't a celibate one. We're both adults here, so there’s no need to play coy."
"Heh." Everett's gaze lingered, and suddenly, he let out a chuckle. "You're blushing."
Dorothy was at a loss for words.
Looking at the man before her, she felt as if she didn't recognize him anymore!
Since when had Everett become such a rogue?
"Come on, we've already got out of the car. Let's go inside and grab a bite to eat."
Without waiting for her response, Everett walked off, leaving Dorothy no choice but to follow.
All she could hope for was that Langston wouldn't make it too obvious when he saw her.
…
As the front door swung open, the first thing Dorothy saw was Langston sprawled on the couch, fiddling with his laptop, well aware that his "lunch" had arrived. Shuffling in his slippers toward the entrance, he was about to greet Everett when he caught sight of the two familiar figures.
Dorothy, spotting Langston, quickly shot him a warning glance.
Fortunately, Everett didn't linger in the hallway but strode straight to the kitchen, leaving Dorothy and Langston a moment alone.
But even then, Dorothy couldn't let her guard down.
"Hey there, kiddo." She crouched down and shook Langston's hand as if they were meeting for the first time.
Langston couldn't help but cringe at her act. It was comically awkward.
He glanced towards the kitchen and sighed, "Mom, you don't have to worry. We don't have any cameras in here."
