GoodRead"Yeah, she has a daughter. She’s a real cutey.” Lane turned to Jeffrey. "You didn’t know?" No sooner had the words left his mouth than Jeffrey shot up from his chair. The sudden movement knocked over his cup, causing it to shatter on the floor.
“She has a child?! She actually has a child?! Are you sure?!" Jeffrey felt his mind go blank. It was as if he had just been struck by lightning, once and then again.
Could it... could it be what he was thinking? "I'm sure she does. Now will you spill it?" Lane was truly left hanging by Jeffrey's reaction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe initially thought that if he introduced Dorothy to Jeffrey, he could possibly offer some advice. But instead, Jeffrey had caused quite a stir, and he was still in the dark about what was going on.
"How old is her daughter, do you know?" "| think two years old." Jeffrey's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Two years old...
Then it definitely wasn't Everett's.
They had been separated for four years and hadn't seen each other since. Jeffrey knew this because Everett had exhausted every possible channel to hear news about Dorothy but had come up empty-handed.
Jeffrey's energy, which had been so frenzied a moment ago, suddenly drained away as if he were a balloon that had been pricked.
"Is there something wrong with her being two years old? Spit it out! Are you trying to kill me with suspense?!" Jeffrey waved his hand dismissively and took a deep breath. "You know Everett, right?" "Of course! Who wouldn't know the CEO of Lopez Corporation? Don't tell me..." "You guessed it." Jeffrey nodded while looking at Lane. "Dorothy is Everett's ex-girlfriend, no, ex-wife." Even though he hated to acknowledge it, Everett and Dorothy had indeed been married.
Lane's eyebrows furrowed. "So why did they get a divorce? Did Mr. Lopez cheat?" "No, Dorothy fell out of love!" Jeffrey couldn't help but defend his best friend. "Everett gave up everything for her, even his own parents! But Dorothy just said she felt too much pressure being with him and left." Lane didn't respond to that. In his eyes, Dorothy didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was so dedicated to her work and was not the type to back down when faced with challenges. She should be the same in relationships.
As for the pressure, she was a staff member with no background who had struggled her way up to her current position based on her capabilities. The pressure must have been immense. What other pressure could be greater than that at work? Unless it came from other "pressures." "Mr. Lopez's parents didn't approve of them, did they?" "Exactly." Jeffrey nodded. "Dorothy didn't have a good background; she basically had nothing. The Lopez family would never agree. They probably thought she was a gold digger." Lane guessed as much.
This was a common occurrence in high society.
Every couple who wanted to break the class barrier and be together would face this problem. Especially for a family as wealthy as the Lopez's, it was not surprising that they looked down on Dorothy.
"Dorothy is not the kind of person to sacrifice love for money." "I know that too." Jeffrey understood the different viewpoints and positions in this matter, but he still felt that Dorothy had been too ruthless.
"So, why were you so surprised when you heard Dorothy has a daughter?" Lane finally realized the significance of this.
"They were married before, so | thought Dorothy's daughter..." "Dorothy's daughter is Everett's?"
