It wasn't Everett.
It was Kevin.
"I'm fine," Dorothy said, her eyes dimming before she mustered a strained smile. "I just need to rest here for a bit. Don't worry about me."
Kevin hesitated, but he didn't leave. "Should I get you some antacid?"
"No need. I've got some in my bag, and I've already taken it. Really, I'm okay."
"Alright then." Seeing her so insistent on not needing help, Kevin nodded and began to walk away.
He hadn't gotten far when Dorothy suddenly called out to him.
"Kevin, wait a second!"
He turned around to see Dorothy clench her teeth and stand up straight, walking towards him.
"Could you... not mention this to him?" she asked.
She didn't want Everett to know anything about her, not even a stomachache.
Kevin, being the sharp guy he was, knew exactly who 'he' was.
"Don't worry. Mr. Lopez is off to Liberty City, and he didn't bring me along. I don't bother him outside of work hours." The implication was clear – he wouldn't have the chance to tell Everett anything.
Dorothy nodded. "Thank you."
"No need to thank me. Besides, Mr. Lopez hardly checks in domestically anymore. The surveillance and bodyguards he had around you before... they've all been called off."
In other words, Dorothy could do whatever she wanted without Everett knowing immediately, like before.
She had sensed it, too.
It was one thing to figure it out herself, but hearing it from someone else stirred different emotions.

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....
