Everett's mind clearly didn't approach this one. He paused for several seconds before gently patting Dorothy's hand, "Your health isn't the best right now. I do want another child, but not under these circumstances." He was still unsure about the extent of the poison lingering in her system. Talking about having a child now felt almost like a death sentence to her.

"Oh." She muttered.

Everett had made his stance clear, and knowing Dorothy, she wasn't one to push back.

But that night, she seemed less than cooperative with Everett.

After one attempt, Dorothy claimed she was too tired. She retreated to the bathroom for a shower, and then curled up under the covers to sleep.

Everett had a hunch about what was bothering her, but didn't know what to do.

He could just take a cold shower to cool off.

The next morning, by the tDorothy woke up, Everett had already left for the office.

Still, he had taken the tto prepare oatmeal, keeping it warm, and left her a note.

Their relationship seemed to have momentarily regressed to their early cohabitation days.

[I dropped off Abigail and Langston at school. Have breakfast when you wake up, then get in touch with Kevin. Everett.] Dorothy carefully preserved the note, and then made her way to the dining room to eat while calling Kevin, "Did Everett tell you abouttaking over the project?" "Mr. Lopez briefed me! I'll send you the documents through the system.' Dorothy paused for a moment, then chuckled, "About that... I deactivated my account when I left Lopez Corporation and haven't applied for it again. I'm not officially back, so you might not be able to send it through. Just email it to me." Thinking she'd never return to Lopez Corporation, she had cut ties completely.

"Mr. Lopez had your account.

et restored," Kevin said with a hint of amusement in his voice. "You've known Mr. Lopez for years. Aren't you aware of his temperament? He verbally agreed to your resignation but deep down, he didn't want you to leave; he just lacked a reason to make you stay." Dorothy didn't reply.

"Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Lopez is the most devoted man I've ever met! In his position, temptations abound, yet he's managed to stay true to his principles, which is rare." Kevin wasn't from high society, but his job exposed him to that circle often! Which among them didn't have a scandal or two out there after their marriage? Not to mention the children brought forth by women from outside their marriages, leaving them questioning their paternity.

In such an environment, for Everett to remain unaffected and unassimilated was truly remarkable.

"Yeah, I know what kind of person he is." She replied.

"So, don't take him for granted! Mr. Lopez is human too; he can be hurt. What if one day he truly walks away?" "I've made up my mind this time. No matter what, I won't leave him again." "That's good to hear!" Dorothy might be unaware of Quincy's machinations, but Kevin was. Mr. Lopez was trapped, threatened, and exploited, all because he couldn't bear to put Dorothy in harm's way.

Kevin genuinely feared any more complications from Dorothy's end. Mr. Lopez was already under immense pressure; he couldn't handle much more.

If it were Kevin, he might have given up long ago, perhaps even during their crisis in Swevia Country, preventing any further incidents. He couldn't begin to imagine how Everett had managed to persevere through it all.
