"My son has always been a neat freak. He never liked people entering his house before. Seems like he's changed quite a bit these past few years." After changing her shoes, Amanda walked in, taking a good look around.
This nearly scared the living daylights out of Dorothy.
Because her clothes were in Everett's bedroom.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuckily, Amanda was well aware of her son's need for privacy and personal space. She just sat on the living room couch and went no further.
Dorothy quickly poured her a glass of water and handed it over. She actually looked like a maid now.
After all, she used to be an assistant at a company, so serving coffee and water was second nature to her.
"Thanks." Amanda smiled. "You go about your business; don't mind me. I'll just wait for my son here." "Okay." Just as Dorothy was about to leave, Amanda stopped her. "Hey, how long have you been here?" "Not long. About two months." "Have you seen my son bring any girls here?" Amanda's smile deepened after she said this. "I've been living abroad for years and just want to catch up on my son's life. Don't worry, whatever you tell me stays with me." Dorothy thought for a moment and decided not to fib. "I don't think Mr. Lopez has brought any girls here... except me." "You don't count! | mean this girl. Has my son brought her here?" After speaking, Amanda showed Dorothy a picture of Heather.
Dorothy was taken aback.
Upon seeing Dorothy's bewildered expression, Amanda couldn't help but feel pleased. "Has she been here?" "Uh... maybe | missed it." "This is his fiancée. | came back this time thinking | would leave after their wedding." Dorothy had a vague idea about Everett and Heather's relationship. Now, Amanda had confirmed it.
She felt like laughing at herself.
When Everett told her that he and Heather were just boss and employee, she actually felt a thrill.

"Don't they look great together?" Amanda was so focused on setting them up that she didn't notice Dorothy's expression.
"Yes, they are very compatible.” Dorothy nodded stiffly and took a look at the time. "Amanda, I've finished my work, so I'll leave now. When Mr. Lopez comes back, could you tell him for me?" "Sure." Now that the house was all tidy, Amanda naturally let her leave.
After all, when she pushed her son to get married later, it wouldn't be nice to have outsiders present.
After leaving Bay Residence, Dorothy had to find a nearby hotel to stay at since she didn't bring any belongings with her.
After taking a bath, she lay on the bed.
She tossed and turned several times, then finally called Karen and asked, "Why would a man, who obviously has a girl he is fond of, lie to you about their relationship?" "You're still too naive! You don't understand this? He's just trying to sleep with you a few more times before revealing the truth.” Karen seemed to be eating something. Dorothy could hear her chewing.
"Tell me, Dorothy, you seem to have fallen for him. Who is this guy? I'm so curious!" "It doesn't matter. Consider him a contract lover; we both get what we need." Karen smacked her lips. "You're either too conservative or too open-minded. Even | can't keep up. But based on your description, this guy is a total jerk. Just have some fun and don't take it to heart."
