Chapter 963


    "It’s just because Langston''s got those top-notch genes that I''m worried that too many girls will


    chase after him. In that case, our little girl''s gonna get her heart trampled in the stampede!"


    "If Langston takes after Everett, and he''s got eyes only for our girl, then we won''t have to worry


    about any other girls getting a look in!" Karen rolled her eyes, "Look at Everett, when has he ever


    given Dorothy a moment''s worry over such matters? What you should be fretting over is if our


    daughter ends up in your nature, bing a real heartbreaker and letting Langston down."


    Jeffrey had no clue how the conversation had veered from deciding on their daughter''s name to


    this. And he was getting a backhandedpliment for his trouble out of the blue.


    "Hey, I''m loyal, alright? Once you came into the picture, have I even nced at another woman?"


    It was an injustice for him! Having more exes didn''t mean he wasn''t devoted! And to think, he hadn''t


    even started on Karening into his life sote. Had they met earlier, he could have been just


    loyal to a fault like Everett.

    "We''ve only been together a short while, so maybe you''re just still in the honeymoon phase."


    Before Jeffrey could retort, Karen just cut him off, "Don''t bother swearing your fidelity now. We’ll


    see. I don''t buy into men’s sweet nothings, and if things go south, I won''t cling or me you."


    That was her stance on love: if it''s meant to be, it''ll stay; no use crying over spilled milk.


    Jeffrey blinked, and then his handsome face scrunched up.


    "Sweetheart, can we drop this topic? Let''s get back to the name discussion." He said.


    "What''s there to talk about?" Karen stood up, lifting their daughter from the crib, "I just regret that


    my darling girl was born under a lucky star for love, only for her dad to jinx it! Right, Felicity?"


    Jeffrey got nothing to say.


    "Your brother Langston is such a heartthrob! Just you wait till you''re old enough, you''ll be hanging


    out with the cool kids too."


    Jeffrey pouted, "Praising Langston''s looks is just a roundabout way ofplimenting Everett. You


    think he''s more handsome than me?"


    Karen shot him a look that said, ''Obviously.''


    And he was literally left speechless.


    ...


    When Karen was discharged from the hospital, Dorothy came with Abigail and Langston.


    The two tykes were thrilled to bits at the sight of someone younger than themselves, crowding


    around to get a good look.


    Watching them, Karen nudged Dorothy, "Looks like they''re fond of little ones, Dorothy! So are you


    and Everett thinking about adding another to the crew?"


    Dorothy blushed, her cheeks turning a delicate pink.


    "Uh, Everett''s keen, and I''m all for it."


    "So, when''s the big n?" Karen said, then quickly added, "Not right now, of course. You''ll need


    Quincy to give you the all-clear first."


    Dorothy''s eyes widened at the mention of Quincy, "You know about that?"


    Realizing her slip, Karen quickly squinted and smiled, "Uh... Jeffrey let it slip!"


    Dorothy immediately asked, "Did Jeffrey say anything else? Like, is there any beef between Dr.


    Quincy and Everett?"


    "He didn''t say! Nothing else came up!"


    Karen remembered Jeffrey''s words— Everett would never hurt Dorothy, and if he said to keep it


    under wraps, there was a good reason. It was something that wouldn''t sit well with Dorothy if she


    knew.


    "Okay. Truth be told, I''ve been feeling like Everett''s been acting all kinds of strangetely." Dorothy


    said.
