GoodReadDorothy had tried several times to bring up the subject of moving abroad with Abigail and Langston. Abigail seemed pretty easy- going about it, but Langston was obviously avoiding the conversation.
Feeling it was too harsh to drop the news on the kids just yet, Dorothy decided to wait a few more days before talking to them about it.
Living in Bay Residence was becoming unbearable for Dorothy. The thought of staying there any longer filled her with dread. So, when Abigail and Langston got back from school today, she decided it was tto bring up the subject of moving abroad once again with Langston.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mom, can't we just stay here?" Langston finally asked, unable to avoid the conversation any longer.
"You don't want to leave, do you?" He nodded, "I just started school here, and I've made good friends. If we go abroad, I'll have to start all over again." Dorothy frowned slightly.
Frankly, it wasn't surprising to hear Langston say this. He always had a unique way of thinking, different from his peers.
But his words made Dorothy wonder if Everett had gone to Langston's school and talked to him about it.
"Langston, have you seen your dad recently?" "No," Langston shook his head, his gaze fixed on his mom.
That look made Dorothy feel guilty.
How could she suspect Langston? He was just a child! And it wasn't like Everett to do something like that...
If Everett was that considerate, why would they have broken up? "There's been a problem between your dad and me. I don't want to stay here anymore, although I'm not sure if you'll understand, but-" "I get it!" Langston quickly said, grabbing her hand. "You and dad had a fight, you're unhappy, and that's why you want to leave." "Mm..." "It's like with my best friend at school! If we have a disagreement, I don't want to talk to him either." Dorothy found his analogy somewhat fitting, although the relationship between friends could likely be mended quickly, unlike her situation with Everett...

Dorothy gently stroked her daughter's hair, searching for the right words to say.
"Your dad's really busy with work. Even if we stay here, he won't cback." "So, mommy, do you really, really want to leave?" Abigail looked up at her.
Dorothy managed a bitter smile.
Did she want to leave? Of course not.
But without Everett, staying in Bay Residence felt unbearable. Everywhere she looked reminded her of him, and Dorothy feared her depression might resurface. She was even more afraid that one day, in a moment of desperation, she right try to break Everett and Quincy apart! Content belongs to en.swYes, she had felt that impulse.
To forget about useless things like morals or pride, like Quincy or Heather, and to want Everett back at any cost.
"Mommy... wants to leave Eldorria City." "Then we don't have to stay here. Can we go live with Aunt Karen instead? Langston clearly didn't want to leave, making it hard for Dorothy to continue the conversation. Content belongs to en.sw.net
