Her gaze flickered with a tremor as his eyes burned with an intensity and sincerity that was almost too much to bear.

"Everett." "I'm here." "Your mother..." "Don’t worry about her," Everett interjected with a soothing voice, "My mom and dad have always been put on a pedestal. They can't stand anyone singing out of tune with them. Whatever they do or say, you don’t need to think twice about it! As their son, | can't control their thoughts, but | know exactly what | want, and they certainly can't control me either." He treated what he didn’t want to hear like water off a duck's back.

He could not silence them, but he could cover his ears.

Dorothy's lips parted slightly, but she could not bring herself to voice the remaining thoughts.

She looked down and offered a wry smile, saying, "Everett, is this your first act of rebellion? No wonder your parents are taken aback." "Not really." Everett's arms firmly encircled her slender waist as he exhaled deeply. "My mom had some rough times before and ended up with severe mental health issues on top of a heart condition. So, over the years, our communication has been simple— if | agree with them, | listen; if | don’t, | won't argue, but | won't follow through either." "Your parents do love you deeply." "Yeah." Everett had to admit that much.

As the only son of the Lopez family, he was the apple of their eye.

Dorothy’s grip loosened a bit, but Everett immediately tightened his hold.

"Don't be afraid, Dorothy. You're the only Mrs. Lopez | approve of." She looked up, meeting Everett's gaze.

The exact words, again.

"Let's talk about the future when it comes, shall we?" "Dorothy!" There was a hint of urgency in Everett's voice.

Dorothy knew he was on the verge of anger, so she hastily wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his.

"But for now, I'm all yours." With her making the first move, it was certain she would not escape his affection.

Dorothy realized that Everett could be negotiated with on any matter except this one—where his tenderness vanished, and restraint was nowhere to be found! By the end, if Dorothy had any strength left, he would make sure to drain it completely.

It was as though only in this way he could stake his claim over her to reassure himself that he still had a path to her heart.

Kevin was always quick on his feet. The moment he received the order, he dispatched people to escort Heather.

Everett had Heather initially sent back to the country to prevent mishaps, then secretly relocated to Swevia Country.

This way, even if Amanda caught wind of it halfway, she would have to turn the country upside down looking for Heather.

"Where the hell are you taking me? | won't go!" Heather was now worn to the bone; her voice never recovered after being hoarse from shouting, and she looked frail compared to the well-dressed Heather of the past.

But in this place, no one pampered her. The guard gave her a cold glance and said, "You don't have a say; just shut up." "This is illegal! Holding me captive is a crime, and now you're smuggling me?" Despite being blindfolded earlier, Heather felt certain she had been put on a plane! "Ha! Talking about the law in the hands of the Lopez family?" The men laughed dismissively, paying her no heed.

Heather panicked.

She knew Amanda could save her life, even after what she did to her son. Their last encounter made Heather believe that Amanda still had a soft spot for her! But if she left Amanda's sphere of influence, it was a different story.

If Dorothy convinced Everett to get rid of her, it was certainly within the realm of possibility.
