GoodReadThe moment Dorothy was mentioned, Everett seemed to put himself on mute.
Jeffrey rolled his eyes, "You don't believe me, do you? | took photos just in case you wouldn't believe me! I'll send them to you right now!" "No need." Everett finally said, "They are together and it's normal for them to do so. Is there anything else?" Everett's sudden calmness and his placid way of speaking slightly surprised Jeffrey! He mistook that Everett would rush to confront her! But that wasn't a scene he wanted to witness.
"No, nothing else.” "There's a morning meeting soon, and don't be late." With that, Everett hung up.

Driving to the office, he walked in to see Heather discussing something with their team.
Jeffrey intended to act as if he hadn't seen her, but Heather had other plans.
"Wait up!" Failing his escape attempt, Jeffrey had no choice but to stop. "What is it?" "Of course there's something! I'm asking about that child." Heather mentioned this first, surprising Jeffrey a bit.
He crossed his arms, looking at her, "I haven't found him yet. Do you have any news?" Heather furrowed her brow slightly, "Where would | get any news? | just show some of my concerns. Everett's parents are very worried about this, so we can't just give up because of difficulties for the time being." "You told his parents, didn't you?" Jeffrey wasn't a fool. Only Heather would be the one to tell them.
"Yes." Heather didn't deny it, "Since the child belongs to Everett, he should be taken back by the Lopez family sooner or later, so | had to prepare his parents mentally! Look, Amanda isn't getting better, and she can't handle any more stress!" "They haven't even had a DNA test yet. No one can say if he's Everett's, so why do you tell them in haste?" Heather just smiled. She had to be proactive about it.
The less she cared and evaded, the less people would suspect her! She hadn't thought things through when she framed Dorothy before, resulting in a strained relationship with Everett. She couldn't afford to make any mistakes this time.
"I've seen the surveillance, and there's no doubt that he's Everett's." "Wait." Jeffrey suddenly interrupted, "How come you seem so willing to accept this child's existence overnight? Weren't you making a fuss before?" Heather paused, then sighed deeply.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I was unable to accept it at first, which is understandable. After thinking it over, since it's already happened and the child is here, I have no choice but to accept it! We can't just make the child disappear.” Jeffrey listened to her explanation, which made sense but sounded weird.
"Alright, you don't need to overthink it. If you find out anything about the child, just let me know! It's not me asking, it's Everett's parents." With that, Heather waved her hand and left.
Jeffrey stood there and watched her leave, tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Something's not right.
He was about to head to his office when his phone suddenly rang! Looking down, he found an unfamiliar number.
A virtual number.
He answered it. A young and childish voice was heard on the other end.
"Hello, this is Langston."
