GoodReadBut when he finally managed to open his eyes, there was nothing.
A big, fat nothing.
All that was left was a faintly familiar scent lingering in the air.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJeffrey's face fell, and a frown formed on his brow. "She didn't come! She doesn't care if you live or die!" "I know she was here." "Were you not unconscious just now?" Jeffrey blurted out before realizing he was being duped, and he huffed in annoyance.
"Why are you so keen on knowing that? Even if she did come, she didn't stay! She could've killed you, but thankfully God has a plan." May that heartless woman be barren.
Of course, he didn't voice that last thought out loud.
Jeffrey could already foresee that if Everett heard about this, he would definitely think that Dorothy's insistence on divorce was due to this. Just like Jeffrey himself had thought earlier.
Anyway, they were destined to part ways. It didn't matter what the real reason was, as long as everyone got back on track.
He sneaked a glance at Everett's expression and wisely kept his mouth shut.
Suddenly, Everett said, "Discharge me." "What? You can barely walk straight. The doctor said you're at risk of alcohol poisoning and need to stay at the hospital for at least three days." "l want out." Everett repeated his request.
Jeffrey was frustrated. "Are you joking with your own life? Wake up, will you? Are you planning to risk your life for a woman?" He really couldn't understand Everett's behavior at the moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe used to think that Everett's parents meddling in his marriage was really inappropriate, even though he also supported Everett being with Heather. To him, a known quantity was always better than the unknown. But he was against the excessive interference from the elders.
Now it seemed like Everett's parents had foresight.
Given his attitude towards Dorothy, in the future, whatever Dorothy wanted, Everett would give her. Even the Lopez Corporation! "Man, | never realized you were such a hopeless romantic.” Before meeting Dorothy, Jeffrey had even doubted whether Everett had any emotional impairment. Even if he kept himself clean and away from women, he wouldn't be so indifferent.
Sitting in the CEO chair of the Lopez Corporation, coupled with Everett's handsome face, made it certain that there were countless women who would rack their brains to get close to him. Several times during business talks, Jeffrey had seen those socialites looking at Everett with adoration. But he always maintained his distance from any woman.
Jeffrey was puzzled. How could such a man fall for Dorothy? Dorothy was just a bit prettier than most and had a decent figure. But there were definitely women among those swarming around him who were more beautiful, more outstanding, and of higher social status.
“If you're not going to do it, I'll do it myself.” With that, Everett tried to sit up.
Jeffrey hurried over to support him. “What are you trying to do? I've handed over all of the company's matters to Kevin. He can come to the hospital for any urgent matters. Don't push your body too hard." "I have an appointment with a wedding planner. | have to go there myself." "A wedding?" Jeffrey was stunned. "Whose wedding?" "Mine and Dorothy's." Everett tugged at his dry, cracked lips. "The sooner it happens, the sooner | can let her be free."
