Chapter 280


    Chapter 280


    Dorothy felt like her heart was being squeezed tight as her mind entered a nk te.


    Everett didn’t marry Heather?


    “So how could you just remarry someone else? Dorally, you have such a cold heart, elfroy clicked his


    tongue a few times and adopted a sardonic tone. “You yed with Everett’s heart like it was a toy and


    now you can easily bewlich Lane. I have to say you’re quite talented.” “Are you done yet? Darthy


    interrupted him coldly


    She didn’t want to hear Everett’s name anymore. I made her heart flutter every time it was mentioned.


    “I don’t know why you brought all this up today, but let me make it clear i will not have any rtionship


    with Everett ever again! You know as well as I do that if I wanted to contact Everett, I have many ways


    to do so, none of which you or anyone else could stop. Rest assured. I truly do not want to have


    anything to do with him anymore. As for the Lopez family and Heather, as long as they are upright, they


    have nothing to fear. They don’t need to worry about me, a nobody. So, you don’t have to waste your


    time talking to me. Your sarcasm doesn’t affect me.”


    “You…” Truth be told Jeffrey didn’t know what he was trying to aplish.


    On one hand, he was relieved that his good buddy had escaped his suffering by breaking up with this


    heartless woman. On the other hand, he felt sorry for Evereti.


    Seeing Dorothy able to start her e anew, pick up her career again, and even marry another man made


    him angry


    Angry at his foolish friend, who still hadn’t gotten over Dorally


    Despite Everett’s constant denial, Jeffrey knew better.


    “My husband and I are very happy now. You can ask Lane about our rtionship.” Dorothy thought that


    Jeffrey was here to confirm that she would not go after Everett again, so she decided to give him a


    definite answer. “Even if Everett stood before me now, I would still choose my husband without


    hesitation.”


    With that, Dorothy turned on her heels and walked away.


    She couldn’t keep her promise to pretend like everything was fine and have dinner with Lane. She


    would have to apologize to himter.


    Behind her, Jeffrey silently took out his phone.


    The call duration read: 10.29.


    “Did you hear all that?”


    “Yeah”


    Yes, after Everett hung up, Jeffrey had dialed him again without taking the phone out of his pocket or


    letting Dorothy see.


    Everett didn’t hang up. He simply listened quietly to Dorothy and Jeffery’s conversation.


    He heard her refer to some other man as “my husband.”


    At that moment, Jeffrey regretted his impulsive decision to make Everett hear all that, knowing that


    every word Dorothy said was like a knife stabbing into Everett’s heart.

    “Everett, I..”


    “It’s okay. She being happy is all that matters.” Everett’s voice didn’t betray any emotion, but Jeffrey


    knew he was suppressing his feelings.


    For years, a smile had been absent from Everett’s face. And Dorothy was to me.


    “She’s already marned, the wholepany knows it. Everett, she’s so damn cold? She’s just in


    cruel! You should get married too! Marry Heather Why upset your parents over her?”


    “Jeffrey, who I love is my business”


    Whether she loved him back or not was her choice.


    Everett had never wanted to impose his feelings on Dorothy. Neither in the past nor in the present.
