"Oh." Once Dad spoke up, Langston naturally had toply.


    He wouldn''t dare cross the man who was fiercely protective of his wife!


    Easy to find himself kicked out of the house before even turning eighteen.


    After putting Abigail and Langston to bed, Everett tiptoed back to the master bedroom.


    Dorothy had juste out of the shower, steam rising off her, her fair face flushed pink...


    His gaze was glued to her and wouldn''t budge.


    Dorothy quickly sensed something was off and immediately covered her chest with a towel, eyeing him warily, "What do you think you''re doing?" "Just looking at my wife."


    "Reminder! I''m not your wife right now, I''m your ex-wife, your girlfriend, but not your spouse."


    Everett arched an eyebrow, "That''s easy to fix, you can be tomorrow."


    "Then we can go register tomorrow?" Dorothy asked immediately.


    Everett didn''t answer that question.


    She approached him, "You don''t want to marry me?"


    "Dorothy, we rushed into marriagest time. I didn''t give you anything, no proposal, no wedding, how can that be considered a proper marriage?"


    He didn''t want Dorothy to feel shortchanged all her life.


    Women, don''t they all dream of looking stunning on their big day, a memory to cherish forever?


    "I just want to be with you, nothing else matters."


    In Dorothy''s eyes, she never really cared for ceremonials.


    Maybe it was her parents'' rtionship growing up, she never had any days worthmemorating, so she overlooked these things.


    "But I want to give you the best."


    This had be a fixation for Everett.


    "Alright! I''ll listen to you." Dorothy squeezed his hand, smiling, "Married or not, I''m yours."


    "I need everyone to know that you''re mine."


    By then, they would have to invite Keh over.


    Maybe Byte 7 too.


    The next morning, Everett received a friend request.


    The WhatsApp name was nk, the profile picture a in white image, all mysterious.


    No need to guess, this had to be Byte 7.


    He was curious to see what this guy wanted.

    Everett wouldn''t reach out first, knowing Dorothy''s nature, she wouldn''t make the first move either.


    Probably Byte 7 was testing the waters!


    Sure enough, in the afternoon, an emoji was sent over.

    After a moment, he replied.

    Suturally,

    A meeting?


    Everett nced at his schedule on the desk, then replied, "Sure, where? Send me the location.


    Byte 7 didn''t text back but sent an address instead.


    He stood up, grabbing his car keys as he walked out of the office.


    Kevin,ing over with some documents, caught him, "Mr. Lopez? You heading out?"


    "Yeah." Everett buttoned up the top of his shirt, "Should be back soon, call me if anything." "Sure! Need me to drive you?"


    "No need."


    Just a Byte 7, he was curious to see what the man wanted with his wife!
