It was rare for Everett to seem so restless. His brows were furrowed in worry, yet he made every effort to appear as if nothing was amiss.
Dorothy knew that the reason for his turmoil was undoubtedly herself. So, she stepped forward and looked up at him.
Everett instinctively averted his gaze. "What's up?"
"Look at me," Dorothy insisted, catching his eye again. "Tell me, what's wrong?"
He slightly furrowed his brow, "It's nothing."
"Be honest! Everett, do you really want me to start jumping to conclusions? You said you'd teach me how to trust you, but now you won’t tell me anything. Is this what you wanted to teach me?"
While she spoke, his phone rang again.
Everett didn’t move, just pressed his lips together.
"Give me the phone," Dorothy said, extending her hand with an unusual firmness.
"I don’t want to answer it."
"Hand it over." She repeated.
Everett, with a heavy brow, took out his phone and handed it to Dorothy.
It was a call from Jonathan.
"Your dad's been calling you so many times, must be something important. Take it," Dorothy handed it back, "If it's something I shouldn't hear, I'll go to the bedroom."
She turned to leave, clearly trying to give him space.
Everett caught her wrist as she turned, "There’s nothing you can’t hear. It’s my mom, he said she’s gotten seriously ill and is in the hospital again, wants me to come over."

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...
