Chapter 485
“What are you talking about?”
Everett was confused, feeling as if Dorothy’s words had some hidden meaning.
“It means exactly what it sounds like.” Dorothy didn’t want to bring this up; just thinking about the lovebites on his skin made her saddened. “You don’t have to explain. I understand.”
Everett frowned. His gaze fixed on her delicate face. “When have I ever sought the company of anotherwoman?”
He had always been chaste, to the point where even necessary interactions with females wereunavoidable at work, he would retain a distance from them. But Dorothy assumed as though he was aplayboy.
“How should I know when you did it?”
Everett’s clueless expression only made Dorothy angrier, convincing her he was feigning! So she greweven more irritated. “Anyway, that’s your business, not mine. You don’t have to fake your purity. I’m notyours anyone at best I’m your ex–wife. I have no say over your private life.”
Strictly speaking, she had no right to question it even if Everett had been with a different woman everyday for the past four years. It was just that seeing those marks made her heart ache.
“Wait a second!” Everett felt unfairly accused. “What am I faking for? I haven’t been with anyone else!That’s the truth.”
“I said I didn’t mind. Why do you keep bringing this up?”
“Yes, I have to bring it up!”
Otherwise, how wronged would he feel? How wronged!
“Fine. But remember, you asked for this.”
Dorothy really wanted to divert from this topic and not dwell on such matters. Even if he had been withother women, it didn’t change the fact that he truly loved her, that he was willing to throw himself intoharm’s way for her. She’d be way too annoying if she kept fixating on it.
But now, Everett insisted on discussing it. He determined to confront her. So, let’s be it.
That time you got drunk, Kevin brought you back to Bay Residence.”
Everett recalled the incident. “Right, I called you because I wanted to see you, but you said you had nosweet words for me so better not to meet. You said I looked pathetic clinging to you, that I was justlooking for an excuse to talk to you.”
Dorothy didn’t expect him to remember their conversation so clearly; she had forgotten the specificsherself. “Anyway, that night, after you got drunk, I went to Bay Residence to look for you.”novelbin
Everett’s handsome countenance froze, stunned.
His eyes fixed on her. “You came to me?”
“Yes!” Dorothy nodded, admitting it outright. “I felt guilty for being harsh with you. Kevin said you wereintoxicated, and I wanted to take care of you. But… but…”
The sight of the bite marks on his shoulder and the heart–wrenching discomfort it caused her werehard to take in even until now. “Did I say anything to you?”
“No.”
“Then what was it?”
Dorothy took a deep breath and said slowly, “I saw bite marks on your shoulder. Many bite marks.You’re not going to tell me Kevin did that, are you? You certainly couldn’t have bitten yourself thereeither!”
Everett just stared at Dorothy, and after a long moment, he suddenly burst out laughing.
His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he laughed so hard that his chest trembled, and the laughtermade the pain in his wounds start to throb.
“Everett, what’s so funny!”
