GoodReadIt was only Quincy I had seen earlier.
So, this scent must be hers.
Which means...
Earlier, when Everett left, I thought he went to the hospital, not wanting to tellhe was actually meeting Quincy.
Dorothy tugged at her own shirt, sniffing it carefully again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSure enough, the fragrance was the sone I had detected on Everett.
Sighing, she stood up to wash her hands before returning to her seat.
Everett, with his blazer draped over one arm, was waiting for her.
Dorothy approached him, offering a smile, "Could you driveback to the office? There's a bit of a situation with the project team I need to handle." "Sure." Back in the car, Dorothy rested her head against the window, silent.
After several glances, Everett couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "What's wrong?" "Nothing," Dorothy replied, sitting up straight before eventually changing her statement, "Everett, I understand you meeting Quincy was for my sake." || "So you really don't have to hide it from me." Even the perfscent, she understood, was linked to Everett's intentions to conceal the truth.
Perhaps my previous emotional breakdown frightened him; now, he's always so cautious, careful not to do anything that might upset me.
But, it's okay.
Once I start to truly accept someone, I don't want to be suspicious of them, whether they're a friend or a partner. "Yeah, next tI need to see her, I'll tell you." "Everett, you've been walking on eggshells around me, and it's been hard watching you struggle! No more of that, okay? Just be open with me, and I promise I won't jump to conclusions anymore. If something's on my mind, I'll be straight with you." Everett nodded.
Dorothy reached out, taking his hand resting on the center console.
"I want to be with you, for a lifetime." With so many uncertainties ahead, she didn't want their relationship eroded by mistrust.
"Okay." After they left, Quincy began to analyze Dorothy's blood sample.
The medication mishap was real, but she was also keen on understanding Dorothy's current health status! If Dorothy's condition worsened, it meant Quincy's own fate was sealed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo, checking on her was like checking on herself.
Quincy's brows furrowed the more she found.
Dorothy's health was chaotic, not just because of the medication, but there e other underlying issues! was a less than ideal subiect.
Amidst her frustration, Ronin had to call.
"Quincy! I just found out what your brother did, and it's unacceptable. I apologize on his behalf!" "No need." Quincy was about to hang up when Ronin quickly added something else.
"Wait! Quincy, what's really going on between you and Everett? The Lopez family... they're saying they don't want to marry you now?" Quincy's pupils dilated.
"Jonathan Lopez said that?" I "It was Jonathan! I calle trying to bond with my future in-laws, but he said his son's marriage is his own decisionelThe engagement we agreed upon is off!" This caught Quincy off-guard.
Everett managed to convince his father even before the lawsuit was dropped! Jonathan Lopez's statement was an indirect acknowledgment that swnov ne Dorothy was soon to be part of the Lopez family, becoming Everett's wife. "If I want it, he has to marry me."
