GoodReadIt was as if Karen had been caught red-handed by flirting with other men outside of her marriage.
"So that's settled. Let's go!" Jeffrey took her hand and was ready to lead her out.
Karen, scared that Jeffrey might start another argument, struggled briefly, "Can't | just go by myself? Don't you have work to do?" "Work's done for today! Everett only left me in charge of the meeting before he took off. Everything else can wait and | stayed up all night finishing up. Taking care of you is my priority right now." He was eager to marry her and experience the family happiness that Everett was enjoying now.
Karen rolled her eyes speechlessly. Then she suddenly remembered something, "Left? Where did Everett go?" "He took Dorothy and the kids to Snowfall City. He's not in Eldorria City, so even if you wanted to complain, it's no use." Jeffrey pulled Karen's cellphone from his suit pocket and handed it back to her with a grin.

"You took my phone to work?" "Yeah, didn't want you finding it at home." "You really are something..." Dorothy had never been to Snowfall City before.
The air was dry, and by autumn, the weather had already turned cold. The breeze was chilly, unlike in Eldorria City where you could still wear a T-shirt or maybe just throw on a light jacket at most.
When they disembarked from the plane, Kevin had already arranged for someone to pick them up from the airport.
Seeing Dorothy shiver, Everett immediately took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
Dorothy looked up to meet his gaze, "I'm not that cold. You wear it." "I'm feeling hot." Dorothy's got nothing to say about this.
First, they went to the villa Everett had bought. It had a large garden in the front with no obstructions, which made the inside look bright and airy.
Stepping inside, the decor was Everett's usual preference for minimalism - a sleek combination of black, white, and gray.
Abigail and Langston walked in. Hand in hand, they were looking around with clear dissatisfaction.
"Daddy, there's nothing to play with here!" Abigail pouted, tugging at Everett's trousers, "l want to go back!" Everett bent down and picked up his daughter, "How could | not have prepared something for you to play with? Why don't you and your brother go upstairs and have a look?" Abigail's eyes widened, "Then | want to go upstairs!" She immediately dashed toward the staircase.

That was until Everett whispered, "There's a computer upstairs. Check out the internet speed, okay?" Langston's face lit up with surprise, "Is it fast?" "Of course. And it's equipped with an anti-tracking system. You can hack into networks without leaving a trace.” Without another word, Langston sprinted past Abigail up the stairs! Everett's lips curled into a smile as he watched the two little figures scurry upstairs.
Dorothy, having just slipped off her shoes, watched their hasty departure in confusion, "What are they rushing off to?" "There are toys they like upstairs.” "You prepared that here, too?" "What else would the kids play with?" Everett spread his hands as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Dorothy shook her head in resignation.
She should have known Everett would do something like this. He was meticulous, aiming for perfection in everything, and when it came to Abigail and Langston, his precious gems, he would spare no expense to keep them happy.
"You just spoil them rotten.” "Jealous?" Everett pulled her into his embrace and stole a kiss on her lips, "I have to make sure they're settled so nothing can interrupt us when we head to our bedroom."
