"Go ahead." Dorothy chuckled, "Would you ever... leavebehind?" After all, she had nothing to her name, not a single thing that would deem her worthy of Everett.

But now, she had committed herself to him, so her fear was tagging along for the ride.
This fear of loss was new to Dorothy.
Upon hearing her words, Everett's handsface stiffened, his expression turning grave.
"Dorothy, I won't allow you to harbor such doubts." "But I need to hear it from you," she insisted, locking her gaze with his deep eyes. "I trust you that you wouldn't lie to me." Everett put on a serious look, and his voice resonated with conviction, "I would never leave you behind, Dorothy. You are more precious tothan my own life." Dorothy smiled, leaning in to kiss his cheek. "Don't be mad. I'm not questioning you or distrust you; I just needed to hear you say it!"

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeffrey's daughter had her nset in stone, chosen personally by him, her doting father.
It was Felicity Miller.
Felicity meant great happiness, and she also took Karen's last name. Karen had actually hoped the child would carry Jeffrey's surname.
Considering the uncertainty of having the second child, Felicity would be the only daughter they had for now. So she worried her in- laws might disapprove.
"I've changed my mind! No lousy boy is worthy of my daughter. No one's allowed to date her! I'll have vel Langston keep an eye on his sister for me!" Jeffrey announced. S Karen sighed in resignation, "Did you even discuss this with your parents before going ahead and registering the name?" Jeffrey sat beside her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "Don't worry, my parents had no objections! I was the guy who never planned on marrying, so compared to having no daughter-in-law or descendants, them just having a granddaughter named Mitter is something they're totally fine with!" "That means you didn't consult them, did you?" "Ah! Your understanding is top-notch, my dear wife!" Karen rolled her eyes at him, "I knew I shouldn't have let you handle this. What if—" "There are no what-ifs! I promise." Jeffrey grinned, "Trust me, if my parents cared about the surname, they would've mentioned it lopet before now. They haven't said. anything other than coming over to check on the baby since you had her!" Though Karen wanted to add more, the nwas already officially registered, leaving no room for change.
"Pfff! I did kind of hope she'd end up with Langston... He's so much like Everett-he's handsome, smart, and we know his family well." Thanks to Jeffrey's meddling, they really did end up like siblings now.
