She suddenly stopped talking, and that's when Everett met her gaze.
"What? Doubting your own skills?"
There was a brief pause before she replied, "Thanks for the trust, Mr. Lopez. I'll do my best."
Dorothy decided to stop overthinking. She chose not to look too closely even if things were unclear to her. An opportunity was right in front of her. No matter what his motives were, it was a good thing for her.
If that project went smoothly, not to mention paying back Everett within a year, her mother's medical expenses wouldn't have been a problem in the future.
"Stop at Tranquil Crossroads." Everett suddenly spoke.
The driver quickly nodded and found a place to stop.
Only then did Dorothy realize they were near her alma mater.
"Would like to take a walk?" Everett asked, raising an eyebrow.
She nodded and said, "Sure."
Dorothy didn't have many memories of her junior high days, but Everett was definitely a vivid one.
Walking down the school road again, she nostalgically took out her phone, took a photo, and carefully stored it in her cloud album.
"Do you still play basketball?" Seeing the newly built sports field, she remembered Everett from back then.
Other boys came back from basketball all sweaty, but only he didn't. Even if it meant being late for class, he would run to the dormitory's public bathroom for a shower.
She was still young back then and hadn’t realized that he was a clean freak. She had even accidentally dirtied his uniform a few times.
"I play occasionally." Everett walked her outside, his tall figure blocking some of the moonlight, casting a shadow on her.

I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....

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....
