GoodRead"I hope so." But Dorothy had an unsettling feeling.
After this incident, she knew that Everett would not rest until he got to the bottom of it - that was just the way he was.
In the midst of their conversation, Kenneth's car pulled up outside.

Dorothy, without even putting on her slippers, ran downstairs.
The moment she saw Langston's little face, she couldn't hold her tears anymore.
"Langston...you almost gave me a heart attack! Langston..." "Mommy, I'm sorry." Langston clearly panicked at the sight of Dorothy's tears. "It was my fault. | shouldn't have run off like that!" "No, no...it's me. | haven't been giving you enough love. It's my fault!" She had been so focused on earning more money, planning when to leave home and when to be with her children, without considering whether they could accept such arrangements! Dorothy felt horribly guilty.
Seeing their reunion, Karen couldn't help but shed a few tears as well.
Kenneth walked over and patted her shoulder, "Let's go in!" "Alright." Back at home, Abigail had just opened her eyes to find her big brother standing in front of her.
She was astonished! "Langston?" "What's with that face? It's really me." Langston walked over and, despite his verbal complaints, sat down beside his little sister.
Abigail, ever the enthusiastic one, hugged her brother and began kissing him all over, making Langston squirm in embarrassment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWatching the two of them laughing and playing together, Dorothy felt a sense of relief and completeness.
She made up her mind then and there that she would never separate from her children again.
Kenneth glanced at Dorothy and quietly pulled her aside. "Uh...Dorothy, it seems like Langston has stirred up some trouble!" He recounted the incident to Dorothy, watching as her face gradually turned into a look of shock.
"What? He hacked into the Lopez Corporation's software?" "Yes..." "Does Everett know it was him?" "Langston said he wouldn't be able to trace it, but I'm not really familiar with cyber stuff." Dorothy rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. She glanced at Langston, who was still playing with Abigail, and spoke up, "I'm taking them and leaving Eldorria City right away, in case the news gets out!" After all, this was Everett's territory. It was fraught with danger, and she didn't feel safe at all.
"I'll go with you." Kenneth had come back to find Langston. If they were leaving, there was no need for him to stay in Eldorria City.
Dorothy looked at him, pursing her lips. "Kenneth, the kids are with me. They'll be fine! You must be busy with work back home.
You should go back." "It's okay, | can take a leave." "But this favor is too huge. | feel suffocated.” Dorothy had to voice her thoughts. "I consider you and Karen family, but when it comes to you and I, there's no chance for anything more. So please, stop letting your time trickle away on me." "It's my choice! You've rejected me many times. | know that you've made your stance very clear. It's all voluntary on my part. | have no complaints, nor will | force you to be with me or owe me anything."
