Dorothy's pupils contracted sharply, and she blurted out, "No way!"
"I have Abigail and Langston and that’s enough for me."
He had never dared to hope that he could have children with Dorothy, let alone twins! Everett wanted nothing more.
Dorothy had no doubt about his sincerity indeed. But she was absolutely not okay with what he was gonna do.
"Everett, you've got decades ahead of you. Let's not make life-altering decisions too hastily."
The future was too far off to fathom.
What if Everett fell for someone else down the line? He was outstanding and shining bright like the sun, always the center of attention wherever he went. In the long years ahead, surely a perfect match would appear for him. If they were stuck with a hasty decision made today and unable to have more children, that would be a huge regret.
"Are you planning on having another one?" Everett asked with a casual arch of his brow, "I'm just worried about the burden that’ll bring you."
"I didn't mean me having another!"
"Then who else would I have a child with?" Everett's tone shifted from teasing to a trace of irritation, "Who are you trying to set me up with?"
It had been a long while since Dorothy had seen him angry. She looked down instinctively, her lips muttering an attempt at an explanation, only to feel she had nothing to justify.
"If I could let go of you, why would I spend years trapping myself in place and enduring the suffering?"
Everett wanted to move on as well. Countless nights he had to rely on his memories of the past, just to make it through to dawn. Countless times had he frantically searched Bay Residence for any trace of Dorothy. The sheets she'd slept in, the pillow she'd used, the clothes she left behind, and the dishes she'd used – Everett had carefully preserved them all.
It was as if Dorothy had never truly left with those items kept by him.
But Dorothy didn't know any of this. That was why she could say such things.

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...
