Jeffrey couldn't help but marvel at their uncanny resemblance. Langston looked identical to Everett, especially when he furrowed his brow in that same serious way that could easily get under one's skin.

"I knew it! He's a deadbeat dad!" "You're right! He certainly is!" Jeffrey bent down to lift Langston and planted a peck on his cheek. "Come on, | will take you out for some good grub. Let's forget about that jerk. If we see him tomorrow, I'll kick him for you!" Langston nodded vigorously. "Okay!" Jeffrey took him to a local diner. He had no idea what kids typically ate, so he just ordered what seemed fancy. He filled the table with a variety of dishes.

Before they could even finish eating, a call from Heather came through. After seeing her name flash on the screen, Jeffrey realized he was not in the mood to answer, but he knew she would not let it slide easily. With a sigh, he answered the call.

"Hello?" "Where are you, Jeffrey?" Heather's voice was laced with urgency.

"I'm out, having dinner." "I heard there was a kid who looks exactly like Everett looking for him at the office today." Jeffrey rubbed his temple. He knew this news would eventually reach her.

"| think there might have been something like that." "Don't play dumb with me. The security guard said they couldn't find Everett, so they sent the kid to your office. Don't tell me you didn't know!" As soon as Heather heard the news, she immediately called Jeffrey. She didn't waste a single second.

Jeffrey sighed. "Why are you interrogating me? The kid isn't mine, and | didn't invite him here." "Then where is he now?" Jeffrey glanced at Langston, deciding to follow his lead.

"I don't know." "Where did he go?" "I don't know." "Who picked him up?" "I don't know." "Jeffrey!" Heather's voice was tinged with anger. "You know this is important to me! If that child is really Everett's, have you considered what | should do?!" Even Heather couldn't bear to think about the possibility that it was true. Was she expected to accept that he had a child with another woman? "What's wrong with you? If that child is Everett's, what's it to you?" Jeffrey couldn't understand her possessive tone. "At most, you two are friends now. You're probably even just colleagues in Everett's eyes. And that too is only because his father forced him to work with you. His having a child has nothing to do with you." "| can't accept being a stepmother!" "Don't worry, Everett doesn't plan on making you one." Heather fell silent.

Jeffrey felt his face harden, and he murmured, "It's been years; you should understand by now. Don't pretend to be the heiress of the Lopez Corporation. Until he agrees, you're not." "Amanda..." "Do you plan on marrying his mother?" Jeffrey didn't know why he was saying these things, but he couldn't stop himself. He was fed up with Heather living in her fantasy world, where she always tried to interfere in Everett's life.

Jeffrey had come to realize that Heather wasn't as innocent as she seemed. She would do anything to get Everett, which was far more terrifying than mere jealousy.

Love can be fought for, but there was no need to harm someone's mother. That was downright scary.

"Jeffrey, | can't believe you're not on my side either! What? Has Dorothy charmed you too? | thought we were old friends!"
