Chapter 578


    "But..."


    "Karen, I''ve prepared for the worst, but Abigail and Langston''s life has just begun! Only with Everett


    can they have a life of ease andfort."


    Karen was well aware of the hardships of this path. As a friend, she could only offer as much help


    as possible.


    "Alright, I''ll go talk to my brother."


    ...


    The day Dorothy returned from her trip to Swevia Country, she got up early to pack her bags.


    Quincy came over to change Everett''s bandages and left some extra with strict instructions to


    remind him to change them during the trip back.


    She didn''t advise Everett to travel at that moment because his wounds hadn''t fully healed, but he


    was not the kind to heed a doctor''s advice.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll keep an eye on him and try to avoid aggravating the injury."


    "Mhm," Quincy nodded, seemingly with more to say. But in the end, she just waved her hand, "See


    you in a week!"


    "See you."


    Dorothy got into the car with Everett, and they headed for the airport.


    She spent the whole ride gazing out the car window, lost in thought.


    Everett caught glimpses of her, but she never seemed to notice.


    As they approached the airport, he finally reached out, pulling Dorothy into his embrace, his voice


    low and tender, "Stop worrying, okay?"


    "You know what I''m thinking?"


    "Besides Keh, what else could be on your mind?" Everett had been holding back, but now he


    couldn''t contain himself any longer.


    He wished he could crack open Dorothy''s head and excavate Kehpletely from her


    thoughts!


    Because of his presence, things were awkward!


    Not like with Lane, who he could deal with any way he wanted, and Dorothy wouldn''t get involved!


    But Keh...

    Everett didn''t dare touch him. He was afraid that Dorothy might turn against him.


    And he had to admit, Keh had genuinely looked after the kids for many years. He owed a lot to


    Keh.


    Sometimes Dorothy really wanted to know if Everett had installed some kind of surveince in her


    brain, how else could he always know exactly what she was thinking?


    "I just don''t know how to face him. I''m afraid he''ll me me."


    "Abigail and Langston are our children. What are you afraid of him for?"


    "But most of the time, it was Keh who took care of them."


    It was like she nted the seed, but Keh did all the subsequent tilling, weeding, and nurturing,


    and now she was about to take the fruits of hisbor!


    It was a difficult situation.


    "I''llpensate him, as long as his demands aren''t unreasonable."


    But nothing like handing Dorothy over to him!


    "He won''t want anypensation," Dorothy sighed.


    Everett frowned, pulling her closer and capturing her sighing lips in a kiss!


    "Mmm..."


    He kissed her deliberately hard, with a deep, probing insistence, prying her lips apart.


    He wanted to erase Keh''s name from Dorothy''s mind, even if just for a moment!


    Dorothy was taken aback by the sudden kiss, startled at first.


    But soon enough, he had her feeling all fluttery inside.


    When the kiss ended, Dorothy''s cheeks were flushed, and the sight made Everett''s lower abdomen


    tighten with desire!


    Unfortunately, they were nearly at the airport.


    "Still thinking about someone else?"


    Dorothy red at him teasingly, "When did you learn to be such a rogue?"


    "If I weren''t a rogue, you wouldn''t be sitting beside me now," Everett lifted her onto hisp, "Dorothy,


    don''t leave me. Otherwise, I don''t know what I''d be."
