Quincy''s heart skipped a beat when she felt a touch on her hand. Her first instinct was to pull away, but then she realized, in this dimly lit room, it could only be Everett. He wasn''t the type to beat around the


    bush, so she decided to let him take the lead.


    "You still have time to back out," Everett''s voice broke the silence, confirming his presence beside her.


    "No, I don''t regret it! I want... I want us to have a child together."


    "Alright."


    Before she knew it, Quincy found her hands being tied and lifted above her head. Blindfolded, her senses heightened, especially her hearing. It sounded like Everett was unwrapping something, maybe the goodies he''d brought over. It seemed like he''d cleared out an entire store for this.


    Quincy''s heart raced at the thought of what was toe. The anticipation was killing her!


    "Mr. Lopez..."


    "I''ve told you, I don''t like it when women speak out of turn."


    "I''m sorry! I won''t say another word."


    She felt a pat on her leg, and then Everett said, "You''re too tense. Rx. I''m gonna grab a drink, give you some time to adjust." "...Okay."


    Truth be told, being tied up and blindfolded wasn''t a pleasant experience for Quincy. But the difort was a small price to pay for bing Everett''s woman, and potentially bearing his child. How could Dorothypete with that?


    Once Quincy was officially with Everett, she was determined to ensure Dorothy would never see him again.


    ...


    Meanwhile, the Lopez Corporation seemed unusually quiet. Kevin had even found the time to help Dorothy with her projects.


    "You''re not here just because Everett''s too busy, are you?"


    "Of course not! We''re actually having a slow period."


    To emphasize just how slow things were, Mr. Lopez had even postponed a couple of major projects. Kevin had even had the time to go on a date.

    "That''s good to hear," Dorothy nodded, handing him some


    blueprints. "I think the reception area would work better here. ItN?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    showcases the best view and will impress our potential partners."


    "Agreed," Kevin nodded.


    Dorothy smiled, "I always say, if you''ve got it, unt it. This spot has the best view and will definitely show off our strength."


    "You don''t need to prove anything. You''re already capable," Kevinplimented her.


    Dorothyughed, "You always know what to say. I''ve always been too straightforward. I could learn a thing or two from you."


    "Anytime! When the boss asks, I''m more than happy to share my wisdom."


    After finalizing the design ns with the architect, it was almost time to pick up Abigail and Langston.


    As Kevin was about to leave,


    Dorothy called out to him, "Hey,


    Everett mentioned he won''t be home


    untiktate tonight. Do you know what he''s up to?"


    "I''m not sure, but it must be important. Otherwise, he''d be rushing back to Bay Residence right after work."
