Chapter 1210
Langston immediately shrank back, "I mean... I only snapped a photo of her from behind! If you're mad, go after my mentor. He's the one who told me to do it!" "Don't worry, he won't get away with it."
Everett couldn't bear to upset his son before bedtime, so after a stern warning, he let the incident slide for the moment.
After ensuring Langston was asleep and checking that Abigail's blankets were snug around her, Everett retired to the master bedroom.
Lately, Dorothy had been busier than Everett!
Even though there was an antidote to ease the effects, the toxins in her body were still a concern for her health.
Staying up late working on designs and various tasks, Everett feared she might relapse.
If he could turn back time, he would definitely never drink the glass of water Dorothy handed him!
"I keep saying, Kevin could sort all this out in two days, and yet you insist on doing it yourself."
Delegating follow-up tasks was Kevin's forte.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
"What, you're suggesting sending Kevin over to help out at my company?"
"If you want, it's not out of the question."
Dorothy smiled slyly, inching closer into his embrace, "I thought about taking more hands-on approach. I don't have much experience, and if I'm not diligent, the company, despite being launched, would eventually just become another headache for you!"
"I like it when you cause me headaches."
He was actually afraid that Dorothy's troubles would be handled by someone else, not him!
"What's with that tone?" Dorothy suddenly noticed something off in Everett's voice.
It sounded...jealous?
But lately, she hadn't been in contact with Kenneth, and besides Kevin, there weren't any other men around her!
"It's nothing, just want to treat you better, to keep you from others' thoughts."
"Everett, if this is about Kenneth again, I think you really have nothing to worry about! At this point, do you still fear I might have something with him?"
Kenneth, in fact, only appeared

After Everett's confrontation with Kenneth near Karen's apartment, Kenneth hadn't contacted her again.
"Besides Kenneth, there's no one else?"
"Who else could there be?"
"Hmm, perhaps you're just unaware," Everett thought about how his son had betrayed him! It was frustrating, yet he couldn't exactly lash out at him.
Dorothy found Everett's behavior since his return quite perplexing.
Avoiding discussions about Byte 7, he decisively pulled her into a passionate kiss before heading to the shower.
Behind him, Dorothy pouted...
Men claim women are complicated, but she found men to be even more enigmatic.
"Dorothy, the towel's not in the bathroom."
Suddenly, Everett's voice echoed from inside.
Dorothy stood up from her
, raising an eyebrow,
strange, I just took a shower,
and it was there."
"There's really none, come see if you don't believe me."
"...I'll just get you another one then."
She dashed to the linen closet, pulling out a fresh towel to pass to him.
The bathroom door opened, and instead of reaching for the towel, Everett grabbed Dorothy's wrist!
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, she was pulled into the bathroom.
Everett intentionally maneuvered her under the shower, and soon, warm water drenched Dorothy's pajamas! "What are you doing?!"
"Showering together."
