It was nothing like she had expected!
His explanations were clearly evasive, and that sent Dorothy's heart racing.
She thought all she had to do was bring it up, and Everett would be thrilled, nodding in agreement without hesitation! She even fantasized he'd be so eager that he’d bring her to the city hall the very next day!
Compared to her daydreams, his actual response was worlds apart.
"When we got hitched last time, Dorothy, it was all in a rush, and I don't want to live with regrets. You're not in the best of health right now, so you need to recuperate. Once you're better, I'll get cracking on planning our wedding, okay?"
"Is it really just because I'm not well?" she pressed.
"What else do you think it could be?"
Dorothy pursed her lips, silently telling herself to trust him.
"It's just... I was worried you might've changed your mind, that you didn't want to marry me after all." She smiled, pulled him closer, and planted a kiss on the corner of his mouth.
Everett wrapped his arms around her, deepening the kiss, "Remember, Dorothy, you're the only woman I, Everett, want to marry. That was true in the past, it's true now, and it'll be true forever."

Jeffrey had Quincy go without food for three days.
Since neither scolding nor shouting worked, starvation seemed the only option.
But even after Quincy fainted and was rushed to the hospital, she still wouldn't hand over the antidote!
This time, she really had Everett's fate in her hands.
And she won the gamble.
"Quincy, here's your phone." Kevin personally delivered her luggage to the hospital.
"Thanks." Quincy, now a bit better after receiving IV fluids, took her phone with a cold expression.

Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
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....
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....
