Everett, the CEO of Lopez Corporation, was swamped with work, yet he never failed to carve out time for his kids, putting Abigail and Langston first. Compared to Maxton, or literally most men for that matter, Everett was doing an outstanding job as a father.
To outsiders, it seemed like taking care of kids was nothing too challenging. But only those who'd been through it could understand the vast difference between life with and without children.
For instance, when a child caught a cold or fever, it demanded all-night vigils which would consume all of an adult's energy.
Yet, Everett never delegated the care of his children. He did everything he could himself. Seeing how close Abigail and Langston were to him spoke volumes about his dedication.
"So, you're... agreeing?" Everett wanted to make sure he hadn't misunderstood.
Dorothy nodded, "Yes, I'm willing to. But we should ask Abigail and Langston what they think. They're old enough to have a say."
"They're fine with it!" Everett said immediately, “I’ve asked.”
Dorothy couldn't help but smile at his eagerness. It seemed he had laid the groundwork well, just waiting for her to dive in.
"If they had any objections, I wouldn't insist! Really, I should be content having Abigail and Langston... It's just that..."
Before Everett could finish, Dorothy took his hand in reassurance.
"Everett, you've done so much for us three already, truly."
"It's not enough, not nearly." He wanted to give them his all.
Dorothy looked up and gently touched his hair, "Please give me a chance to contribute too. Don't do everything yourself."
"You don't need to prove anything. Just don't push me away." He dared not ask for more.
Dorothy sighed softly, "Are you being stubborn? You have so many easier paths to choose from, yet you insist on staying on this one with me, even if it means hitting a wall."
