Dorothy bit her lip, remaining silent as they leaned into each other, listening to the rhythm of their heartbeats.
She was surprisingly starting to feel drowsy.
Before drifting off, Dorothy mumbled, “When it comes to being stubborn, nobody beats you.”
Everett just chuckled, his hand softly stroking her hair, her back.
To others, he might come off as tough and temperamental.
But with Dorothy, all that was left was tenderness.
As time ticked by, Everett maintained his posture, enduring the pain from his wounds and the ache in his back, all without moving, until he heard Dorothy's steady breathing.
He slowly stood up from the bed, stretching his stiff back, and walked out of the room.
"Seal off the hotel rooftop completely. No one gets in or out."
...
Karen found out about Everett's return through Jeffrey's phone.
"Why did you keep it from me?"
"I didn’t! You never asked, so I didn’t mention it." Jeffrey, hesitant to bring up the fact that Dorothy was considering a dramatic end with Amanda, naturally couldn't mention Everett's injury either, so he didn’t even bring up Everett’s return.
Keeping the baby was a big deal for Karen. Despite her casual dismissals, saying this and that were fine, she cared deeply! Now, she was treading carefully, avoiding going out unless absolutely necessary.
"Forget it, I don’t really want to know about his business anyway," Karen waved it off. "I’m planning to find out the baby’s gender at today’s check-up. We could have found out last time!"
Jeffrey frowned slightly. "Why? It’d be more exciting to find out at birth."

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...
