GoodRead"Is there something else going on? | thought Dad told me you were in the hospital.” It was always the same trick and excuse. It would be hard for him not to see through it.
Yet, as a son, he was always scared. What if one day his father was telling the truth and he didn't believe it? Regardless, she was his mother, the woman who gave birth to him and raised him.
"Don't change the subject! I'm asking you who you're marrying!" Amanda's eyes were unblinkingly fixed on her son. She couldn't believe this.
She was also surprised. How could a woman steal his heart out of nowhere after all these years of him being so reclusive? He liked her even to the point of marriage? It was even more unexpected than when Dorothy showed up.
"Of course, it's the woman I've been fond of." "I bet you're just trying to give me a heart attack!" Amanda exclaimed as she clutched her chest and breathed heavily. "You used to never be like this. Dorothy has been a bad influence on you. | was right to send her away, or else who knows what she could have done to you?!" Everett's pupils contracted fiercely and sharply.

"You... you sent her away?" Realizing she'd let something slip, Amanda quickly changed the subject. She pretended to be unwell and started gasping for breath.
Seeing this, the butler and maid hurriedly came to support her. "Madam, are you alright?" Everett, however, was focused on finding out the truth. He stepped forward, blocking his mother and the butler from leaving.
"Tell me the truth. Did you... did you force Dorothy to leave?" His eyes were filled with a storm of emotions and a faint glimmer of hope.
If... if Dorothy was truly forced to leave...
Knowing her son better than anyone, Amanda knew where he hurt the most. Since he insisted on asking, she had to make him give up on Dorothy.
"If she truly loved you, would she have left just because | told her to?" Everett fell silent.
Her response stabbed him like a knife, leaving him speechless.
"Everett, Heather is the one who's best for you. Listen to your mother and marry Heather. You've announced your engagement but haven't revealed the bride yet. Let it be Heather, then | can rest in peace.” She almost had a heart attack because of Dorothy. She couldn't handle another shock.
And honestly, if it weren't for Heather's understanding of Dorothy's personality, she might not have won.
"Mother, | hope Dorothy's departure is only because she doesn't love me anymore, and it has nothing to do with you." Without even considering his mother’s request, Everett left. He returned to his car and left the mansion.
On the way, he dialed Kevin's number.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The engagement has been announced, and there's still no news?" "Mr. Lopez, maybe... maybe we should stop looking for her." This was the first time Kevin had ever suggested this.
He wasn't brave enough before.
But now he couldn't hold back any longer.
"If Ms. Sanchez wants to hide, we'll never find her. It's been three years, Mr. Lopez. She might even have a child with that Kenneth by now." He was prepared to be scolded by his boss for saying this; Kevin just couldn’t continue watching Mr. Lopez obsess over her.
Mr. Lopez was such an excellent and devoted man. It was Dorothy who didn't appreciate him.
No matter how good his impression of her was in the past, all that he felt for her now was disgust.
How could she be so heartless and hurt someone who genuinely loved her?
