"I know you've got the kids' backs, I'm not worried about that."
"Then why?"
Dorothy sighed deeply, "After everything that's happened, I just don't see things the same way anymore. I'm not big on planning for the future, that's all."
"Really?" Everett held her gaze, the panic and evasion in her eyes not escaping him.
"Really."
"Then follow my lead. You don't have to plan a thing, and I'll handle it." He took Dorothy's hand and gently massaged it. "Trust me this once, okay?"
She nodded, "Alright."
She trusted him to take care of the children, trusted that he wasn't the kind of man Maxton was! Even if she had to burn bridges with the Lopez family, causing a huge rift and potentially damaging the Lopez Corporation, she believed he wouldn't drag the two kids into it.

Karen had fallen asleep on the plane. She was too exhausted.
Jeffrey, sitting in the seat in front of her, had also pulled an all-nighter, but sleep eluded him!
He didn't get her WhatsApp or her phone number.
He boarded the plane with the intent to go toe-to-toe with Karen, but upon seeing her so tired that she was tearing up, her eyes bloodshot, he just couldn't bring himself to continue.
He knew all too well how rough last night had been.
Finally, the plane began its descent into Eldorria City Airport.
The captain's announcement woke Karen up. She yawned and stretched, sitting up to find a shadow blocking out all the light, casting darkness around her.
Karen frowned and looked up.

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...
