She still felt it was a bit off.


    It felt somewhat wrong, a tad unscrupulous.


    "Look, you insisted on knowing everything. Now that you know, you worry about this and that! Let me tell you, whatever happens to Quincy, she had iting!"


    "You''re not wrong." Dorothy wanted to say more, but ended up sighing, "When you think about it, she and Heather Garcia were just after the same thing - you!" Everett yfully tapped her on the head.


    "I''m yours, who else do you want to have me?"


    Dorothy smiled, linking her arm through his, "You don''t need to keep reminding me, I know you''re mine."


    After all they''d been through, she knew he''d chosen her for life.


    Kevin''s routine was now working by day and looking after kids by evening.


    Mr. Lopez was all lovey-dovey, leaving Kevin with an extra part-time job.


    "Kevin, the strawberry candies in your pocket are so tasty! I love them!" Abigail rummaged through his suit pocket, eventually taking all the strawberry candies.


    Kevin tried to grab some back but, looking into Abigail''s big, twinkling eyes, he couldn''t bear to.


    "My little tyrant, you can''t eat them all! I bought four bags of candies today."


    If she ate them all in one go, Ms. Sanchez would probably fire him from his childcare gig tomorrow!


    "Don''t worry, Kevin!" Abigail divided the candies into two portions, pointing out, "These, I''ll eat before dinner tonight!"


    "Good girl!"


    "And these, after dinner."


    Kevin paused, then chuckled wryly.


    "So you''re nning to finish them all today?"


    Langston, with hisptop on the couch, nced over and smirked "Sis, if you eat too much, you''ll get fat, and then that boy Harry in ss won''t want to hug you anymore." en.swhovels


    "Why not?!"


    "He won''t be able to lift you if you''re too heavy!"


    "..." Abigail genuinely pondered this dilemma.


    Langston scoffed, "Love-struck."


    Seeing Langston''s expression reminded Kevin of Mr. Lopez as a boy.


    Probably not just the looks but the personality was identical.


    If he really inherited his father''s fine traditions...


    Kevin thought to himself, amused.


    He''d be just as love-struck!


    Perhaps even more so than Abigail!


    When Everett and Dorothy returned Kevin was ying


    rock-paper-scissors with Abigail,


    who had to give him a co

    He couldn''t very well just snatch the candies away; he had to outwit her openly.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    "Mr. Lopez, you''re back!" Kevin quickly stood up upon seeing them.


    Dorothy, seeing Abigail hastily trying to hide her candies, said helplessly, "You''ve got cavities, you can''t eat more candies!"


    "I haven''t, mommy, I didn''t eat any!" Abigail pointed at Kevin, "Kevin can vouch for me!"


    "...Ah, yes, I vouch for the young miss."


    Dorothy, seeing Kevin''s resigned look, couldn''t help butugh.


    "We''ve discussed it, and starting next month, we''re doubling your sry for all the extra work."


    "I wouldn''t have much to do back


    home anyway. Staying here, looking after Abigail and Langston, it''s actually quite fun!" Kevin looked at Mr. Lopez, whispering, "Mr. Lopez, Langston just built a simple app for me. It''s going to make project calctions so much easier! It''s amazing, the kid''s a genius. Those gics are something else!"
