GoodRead"What was that?" Kevin didn't catch what Everett said.
"Nothing. Just get some rest." After hanging up the phone, Everett felt like his mind had flung itself into turmoil. He definitely couldn't sleep now.
He thought about returning to Eldorria City as soon as possible the next day to see if this was all a coincidence or something else.

He glanced at the small figure walking beside him and patted the kid's forehead. "So, Everett really is your dad, huh?" Langston looked up at him as his eyes blinked. "I don’t know. All | know is that I look a lot like him." "And what about your mom? What's her name?" Langston thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know." "And her surname?" "I don't know that either.” Jeffrey had hoped to get some information out of the child, but it seemed like the kid knew very little.
“You must know what your mom looks like, right?” He asked curiously, eager to know who else besides Dorothy could have shared a bed with Everett. He realized he didn't know Everett as well as he thought he did.
But it was understandable. After being single for so many years, he thought Everett having some physical needs was normal. As a man, he understood.
“My mom is really beautiful!” “I don’t doubt that.” Any woman that Everett was interested in would definitely be attractive.
After all, with his social status, could he not have his pick of any woman, with any figure or face? Even Jeffrey was picky, so Everett must have been worse.
"Do you know my mom?" Langston looked up at him.
Jeffrey shook his head. "How could 1? If I did, wouldn't you be the little prince of the Lopez Corporation by now?" "I don't want to be a prince; | just want to know who my deadbeat dad is!" "Deadbeat Dad?" That was a new way to describe Everett. "Did he abandon your mom?" "Yes!" Langston nodded hard as his face filled with anger. "Otherwise, why wouldn't he come to see me and Mom? | haven't even met him yet!" Jeffrey thought for a moment, then nodded. "Indeed, from your perspective, he would be a Deadbeat dad. But, kid, when | called him earlier, he clearly had no idea you existed. Could it be that your mom never told him about you? That's why he didn't come to see you." As a good friend, Jeffrey felt obliged to defend Everett. His own son shouldn't harbor resentment towards him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why wouldn't my mom tell him? Isn't it because he wasn't good to her?" "Hey!" Jeffrey was left speechless. "You make a good point, kid. | like it!" Jeffrey could guess the story behind this.
It was probably a fleeting romance; the woman realized she was pregnant but was afraid Everett wouldn't want the child, so she secretly gave birth.
It must have all been about money.
If the woman knew her place, she would understand she was not qualified to step into the Lopez family. And if she thought she could rise in status because of her child, the consequences could be ugly.
"Sir, are you going to take me to meet him?" "You'll meet him tomorrow. He's not in Eldorria City today. He's gone to chase his first love." After hearing this, Langston's little eyebrows immediately furrowed.
