After a while with no reply from the other side, Dorothy checked her phone multiple times, contemplating what she'd told Everett upon his return: asking for help with a medical issue meant he couldn't afford to be too forceful in his approach.
Even if Quincy wouldn’t dare to provoke the Lopez family, pushing too hard was still not an option. She knew Everett all too well.
The concept of chivalry was foreign to him. Apart from her, any woman who as much as brushed against him would send him reeling.
Dorothy couldn't pinpoint when she dozed off. Initially, she was perched on the couch, flipping through a finance magazine. Feeling drowsy, she had a glass of ice water and soon found her eyes nearly closing and falling asleep.
In a daze, time seemed irrelevant until she felt herself being lifted.
The familiar scent that was distinctly Everett's assured her of his presence without needing to open her eyes.
She reached out, circling her arms around his neck.
“I thought I told you not to wait up for me?” he said.
“Hmm… You always wait for me. I wanted to try waiting for you for a change.”
After her words, Dorothy heard him sigh softly.
“I can never seem to stay mad at you.”
With long strides, Everett carried her towards the bedroom.
Resting against his chest, Dorothy felt the warmth of his body, and a comforting heat spread through her.
“Everett.”
“Yes?”

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....
