"My mom's awake. I'll call you back once I've sorted things out on my end." Everett's voice came on before she could hear the rest of Heather's words.

"Alright." Dorothy stared at the now dark screen of her phone, feeling a mess of confusion and conflict she had never felt before.

Actually, it might have been better if Jeffrey hadn't come to see her and said those things.

She was already considering divorcing with Everett and ending their relationship.

But after Jeffrey's words, she was suddenly at a loss for how to bring up the subject of divorce with Everett.

He was so careful and protective of her, and despite his mother's strong opposition, he still insisted on holding on.

On the contrary, she would easily voice out the idea of breaking up.

Just like what Everett said, she seemed ready to completely give up and draw the line at the slightest issue.

She lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling with every bit of her interactions with Everett appearing before her eyes.

His gentleness, his consideration, his blatant favoritism towards her.

How come she had never noticed it before? Dorothy covered her face with the blanket and let out a wail when suddenly the door rang.

It was Karen coming back.

She saw the shoes at the entrance and ran straight to Dorothy's room.

"Il thought you weren't coming back!" She saw her friends look after saying it, and quickly sensed something wrong, "What's wrong with you?" Dorothy's first thought was to deny everything. But now she could only turn to Karen for advice about her relationship.

"I suddenly realized that | might be a jerk." "Huh?" Karen immediately raised her eyebrows and leaned in, "What are you mumbling about?" "There's this guy who has always been good to me. But | never noticed it, nor did | appreciate his efforts..." Honestly, even with Kenneth’s kindness towards her, she could always keep her guard up. As soon as he crossed the line, she would immediately stop him, not wanting him to continue wasting any time and effort on her.

But Everett was different! He was always doing things without letting her know.

"There are plenty of guys who are good to you. The ones in our company and my brother are all hoping to get a response from you. And you just rejected them with a cold face. I've never seen you troubled or distressed. So the guy you're talking about... is he an exception in your heart?" Was Everett an exception? Dorothy frowned and thought for a while, "He... he's different from the other guys! | can sense when others are showing interest in me, and it's easy to keep a distance because | have no intention of reciprocating their feelings. | don’t want them wasting their efforts on me, but the things he does are hard to notice. In the end, | only found out because someone told me." "Who the heck is this guy?" Now even Karen was curious! She knew all about the guys chasing Dorothy and didn't expect there was one that slipped through the net.

"Don't get mad at what I'm about to tell you." "Why would | get mad?" Karen was puzzled.

Dorothy hesitated, looking troubled, then finally let out a sigh, "It's Everett Lopez. | lied to you before." The room went silent, the air seeming to freeze.

Karen became a statue and held her pose for a good minute.

Then, a deafening voice rang out.

"What did you say?! Are you really with Mr. Lopez?”
