Chapter 920


    "Everett!" Dorothy felt a shiver run through her entire body.


    "I''m here."


    "You''re just in your thirties! You can''t throw away your future because of me! We''re from different


    worlds. I''m just another face in the crowd, but you, you''re like the shining star that’s so unique and


    irreceable!"


    She wasn''t born into expectations. She was devoid of loving parents or a happy childhood, not even


    the average family life most kids take for granted.


    Despite trying hard, she ended up attending just an average high school and university.


    Dorothy always thought of herself as too ordinary.


    Lost in the crowd and easily receable.


    But Everett was different. He was the sole heir to the Lopez family, the CEO of Lopez Corporation,


    and the decision-maker for over a hundred subsidiaries.


    How could she everpare?


    Without him, the future of Lopez Corporation could hardly be deemed bright.


    "Forget about whether I''m the star or not, I’m giving you this conclusion."


    Dorothy didn’t say a word.


    "I don''t want to hear about the gaps between us. I can''t deny the big differences in our social


    standings. But remember this, if you die, let your soul wait for me just a little bit, and I''ll surelye


    find you."


    Dorothy frowned, "Everett..."


    "So, do you want us to die together?" he pressed.


    "You''ve lost your mind."


    Everett chuckled, "I lost it a long time ago, not just now."


    Ever since he had eyes only for Dorothy, Jeffrey had called him crazy. And who in their right mind


    would take their own mother to court?


    Everett didn''t deny it. He was crazy to the bone.


    Dorothy tried to persuade him to change his mind, but Everett''s gaze already conveyed his answer.


    It took her a moment to gather her thoughts, "Is this... some kind of threat?"


    "If you think it is, then it is."


    "Everett, I really think you''re the one who needs to see a shrink."


    Everett shrugged, "I don''t need one. I''ve got the best medicine."


    Dorothy was confused.


    "As long as you''re alive, I''m fine." He exined.


    "I mean that YOU are too obsessive! Have you ever considered that you just have your eyes on me


    because you''ve never really been with other women? If you tried to be with someone else…"


    Everett interrupted softly, "Dorothy, I''ve told you before that I''m a clean freak."


    "You mean you have a thing for virgins?" Dorothy bluntly interpreted, "Then you could easily find


    someone untouched!"


    With Everett''s status, finding a woman who hadn''t been with someone else wouldn''t be hard at all.


    "No." He sounded helpless, "Strictly speaking, I have a thing for being someone''s first and only. The


    first time I''m with someone, I''mmitted to them for life and unable to touch another."


    Dorothy was speechless.


    This was a first for her.


    "What if I never let you touch me?" she asked.


    Everett gave a wry smile, "I''ll wait."


    It''s not like he hadn''t waited before. Years had passed this way.

    "And what if, hypothetically, I died? Wouldn''t you be alone forever?" she pressed.


    "I told you, if you die, I''d die too."


    Dorothy opened her mouth but found herself at a loss for words.


    Everett pondered and then said gravely, "I wonder this is all karma."
