GoodReadEverett couldn't pick up on that.
It was clear that Amanda was not willing to understand his perspective.
"And what's wrong with Heather? What is it that you don't like about her? Look at her! She's beautiful, talented and capable.

Can you still say she has a good character when she sold herself for cash?" Amanda had done her homework. She knew that Dorothy had agreed to marry Everett to secure funds for her mother's medical bills.
It all boiled down to money.
"I think Dorothy's character is good, and that's all that matters. | don't need anyone else's judgement.” "You..." "Mom, | won't marry Heather." No matter how many times he had to repeat himself, he did not mind doing it again.
"Then I'm not your mother!" Infuriated, Amanda hung up the phone.
Everett frowned tightly. He knew upsetting his mother would inevitably lead to sleepless nights and hospital visits for her. There was even a risk of losing her.
He didn’t want that. But he also didn't want to betray his own heart.
As he put down his phone, a doctor rushed over with some documents in his hand.
"We've got the results, Mr. Lopez. We've got them!" Heather didn't know who else to turn to, so she called Amanda.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe knew that having Amanda order Everett to marry her wouldn't work. But at least she could help Heather get through this difficult period.
"Everett has been bewitched! Don't worry, I'll handle this!" "Thank you. | shouldn't have burdened you with all of this." "Nonsense! You're doing this for Everett!" Amanda paused, then asked in a hushed tone, "Tell me the truth, do you know where the child is?" After hesitating for a moment, Heather confessed, "Yes. A friend of mine took him. | just want to bring him back home. Amanda, I'm sorry, I just... I'm afraid Everett will leave me!" "I'm not blaming you! You did the right thing! If the child stays with you, Everett will eventually find out. Give him to me, and I'l handle this." "But what if Everett..." "He won't! What's he going to do, investigate me?" Heather originally intended to get rid of the child to avoid future trouble. But now that Amanda had stepped in, and she trusted her, she felt she could hand over the child.
It was not that she was scared, but she didn't want her relationship with Everett to worsen. If it were discovered now, she could say that Amanda had forced her to do it.
She would be absolved of all responsibility, and Everett couldn't blame her.
"Alright, I'l have someone bring the child to you.” "Good. As for the child, you don't need to know anything or get involved." "Okay." After hanging up the phone, Heather was about to call the man who had the child, but he called her first! As soon as Heather answered, she could hear the panic in his voice.
"Bad news! The child escaped!" "What?" "I didn't expect him to be so smart! He cracked the code | set up! He's gone!"
