    And then he abruptly ended the call, as if he was terrified of hearing any more harsh words from


    Dorothy.


    But wasn’t the one who uttered harsh words also suffering?


    Dorothy clenched her phone and closed her eyes, only to find that tears had unconsciously trickled


    down from the corners of her eyes.


    She didn’t even know when she had started crying.


    The wind at the street corner still blew fiercely. The teardrops either fell on the back of her hand or on


    the hem of her clothes. Dorothy didn’t dare to cry out loud.


    Hurting Everett was thest thing she wanted to do.


    But she had no other choice.


    To protect her children from harm, to uncover the truth, she had to lie low and make sacrifices.


    When Jeffrey received a call from Everett, he was still searching for the kid. He genuinely liked that


    child!


    “Hello?”


    “Let’s get a drink.”


    Jeffrey was taken aback, “Did I hear you right? You said, let’s get a drink?!”


    “Youing or not?”


    “Sure!”


    Without a second thought, he knew that his buddy must have been hurt by Dorothy again! In all the


    years he’d known him, only matters concerning Dorothy could cause him such emotional turmoil.


    After heaving a sigh, he rushed to the bar after handling his affairs.

    Because Everett wasn’t fond of crowded ces, he had reserved the entire bar for the night. The music


    was still ying, the lights were still on. the drinks were still there, but aside from him sitting on the


    couch, there was no one else.


    Jeffrey strode over and rolled his eyes as he sat down.


    “Buddy, you seem to have a misunderstanding about drowning your sorrows in alcohol. You’ve cleared


    out all the girls in the bar, then where’s the fun in that?”


    Everett looked at him and poured him a full ss of whiskey with his slender fingers.


    “Drink.”


    “I can drink, but let me call a few girls over. It’s no fun just the two of us.” Jeffrey also hoped that


    Everett could move on from the past.


    Even if he didn’t end up with Heather, there were other women, right?


    The world wasn’t just Dorothy and Heather!


    He felt that Everett was just shutting himself out, unwilling to interact with others.


    “No.” Everett refused with a frown, “They’re annoying.”


    “So if we call Dorothy, it won’t be annoying, right?” Jeffrey said, and immediately wished he could p


    himself.


    Sometimes his brain couldn’t keep up with his mouth; he spoke before he thought!


    Sure enough, Jeffrey saw the light in Everett’s eyes quickly darken.


    He scrambled to smooth things over, but in the end, all he could do was sigh, “Everett, you really


    should let go! It’s over between you two.” Everett picked up the bottle of whiskey on the table, tilted his


    head back and drained it in one gulp.


    “I thought that child was hers.”


    “I told you before that it’s not hers! But you wouldn’t believe me.” Jeffrey also downed his drink, “You


    said before, besides Dorothy, you didn’t have any other women, right? So could it be possible, that


    someone stole your…”


    Everett looked up, frowning, “What?”


    “Come on! You haven’t been with a woman for so many years, and you’ve never taken care of


    yourself? I mean masturbation.”


    Everett was left speechless.


    ‘Of course you havel What if someone with intentions stole your sperm? I’ve seen cases like this on the


    news.” After saying this, he flipped out his phone and showed Everett.


    Everett wasn’t in the mood to look at that.


    But it was true, he ‘had taken care of himself.


    A man always has those needs, but he could only do it while thinking about Dorothy.
