"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."

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...
