GoodRead"Do you understand her?" "| do! Everett, tell me, what woman doesn't crave to be cherished? Even when she goes out with her friends, I'm willing to wait for her downstairs. | bet you can't do that, right?" In Lane's eyes, Everett was a man who was always swamped with work. How could he possibly spare time to accompany Dorothy? So, part of their breakup must have been because Everett couldn't be with Dorothy at all times.
What he didn't know was that Everett could drop everything, even cancel company meetings, just to make Dorothy a homemade breakfast.
Including right now. He had moved all his meetings online just to be in Havenbrook City.
"She won't accept you." Everett saw right through Lane. He was just another suitor.

The only difference was that he could openly pursue her, while Everett had to do so in secret.
"Let's wait and see." There was confidence in Lane's voice as he waved to Everett. "I won't disturb you anymore. Until next time." As he turned to leave, Kevin got out of the car.
"Mr. Lopez, should we do something about East Star Enterprises?” "No need." Everett's gaze shifted from Lane's retreating figure to the restaurant door. His eyes were deep and unreadable as he said, "Dorothy won't choose him." "Of course! You're better than him in every aspect, whether it's social status or personal traits." It was the absolute truth.
There wasn't a hint of flattery in his tone.
With a self-mocking smile, Everett chimed in. "Yet, she won't choose me either." Kevin didn’t know what to say.
"Verity Holdings Limited is bankrupt. They should be leaving Havenbrook City soon. | should return to Eldorria City." Everett knew he had responsibilities. He couldn't afford to act on a whim all the time.
He got back into the car, where the conversation between the driver and Dorothy was playing.
The driver had gone in with a recording device. It wasn't that Everett wanted to eavesdrop; he was just afraid the driver might say something wrong.
"Thank you so much. You're really a good person." Dorothy's voice was as warm and pleasant as ever. She was genuinely grateful to the driver.

Suddenly, Dorothy's phone rang.
Everett frowned as his eyes widened.
"What?! He... he ran away?! Did you go look for him?! Did you call the police?! You have to find him!" He wasn't sure who Dorothy was referring to, but it was clear she cared deeply for this person.
"I'm sorry, but | have an emergency. | need to leave. I'll call you again another time." "Okay..." The driver could only nod in surprise.
Dorothy hurriedly left the restaurant.
Once she left, the driver called Everett. "Ms. Sanchez has left." "Who was the person on the phone?" "I don't know. He sounded really worried, and Ms. Sanchez looked anxious too. She left immediately.” Aman? Could it be Kenneth? "You're done here; you can go back." After hanging up, Everett had Kevin follow Dorothy and Lane's cars.
