Chapter 560
"Ha."
Everett released her, propping himself up with his arms.
Dorothy sighed and wrapped her arms around his waist, "I didn't say no, did I? Can't I just thinkabout it? Since when did you become so domineering?"
"You should be asking, 'Who else have I ever consulted apart from you?'"
In business, he was the decisive tycoon who called the shots, and in private, he was the aloof andproud scion of the Lopez clan. When did he ever need to bend his ear to someone else's opinion?
Except for Dorothy.
She smiled, resting her cheek against his back, "I know you're good to me."
"You're just taking advantage of my indulgence."
"Yes, I am exactly doing that!"
Everett sighed deeply, his large hand gripping hers, "One month. I expect your answer won'tdisappoint me."
"Okay."
He got up to switch on the light, which instantly brightened the hospital room.
Dorothy went to run a bath for him, but as soon as her feet touched the floor, she felt a twinge ofpain in her lower abdomen.
Everett noticed her frown, "What's the matter?"
"...It hurts a bit."
"I'll get the doctor."
Dorothy quickly grabbed him, giving him an annoyed glare, "You know exactly why, don't you?
And you're talking about getting a doctor? What would we even tell them?"novelbin
That he went a bit too deep just now?
Everett's handsome face froze, his ears turning a shade of red, "I won't let it happen again."
He had been so consumed with confusion that he became irritable and lost his usual sense ofjudgment.
Although he was usually quite demanding of her, he never let her feel pain, always considering hercomfort even if it meant restraining himself.
If Everett had truly let himself go wild, Dorothy might not have been able to bear it...
...
In the steamy bathroom, Dorothy was carefully washing Everett’s back bit by bit for she was scaredto touch his wounds.
"I had Kevin buy a villa in Snowfall City."
She was about to rinse the washcloth when she heard Everett behind her.
"Hmm? Why..."
"Didn't you say you wanted to see the snow in Snowfall City? We can stay there during the winter."
Dorothy paused, feeling a prickling pain in her heart.
Everett really took every word she said to heart. Even if she was giving offhand remarks and fleetingwishes, he still remembered them all and planned to make them real.
"Buying a house there is a bit much, don’t you think? Are we planning to settle up north?"
"I wasn't sure when you'd want to see the snow. Having a place ready means we can go wheneverwe like." Everett had a thing about cleanliness; he didn't like staying in hotels. Business trips wereunavoidable, but for a city they would visit frequently, he preferred to have a house.
"Okay," Dorothy nodded. "Is it already bought?"
Everett turned to look at her, "Yeah, you know Kevin gets things done."
"Then I'd like to see it before when you're a little better." She was afraid she wouldn't make it towinter, to the snow of Snowfall City, but she could still see the house.
After all, it was a gesture from Everett's heart, so she wanted to leave no regrets.
"Alright, I'll go with you."
"No need! You wait for me in Swevia Country. I'll just take a quick trip back to see it! You're not well,you shouldn't be traveling."
"You sure I'm not well?"
Everett raised an eyebrow at her.
Dorothy's face turned crimson, "I... I didn't mean it like that!"
"We'll go back together." Everett's voice was soft as he looked into her eyes, "And then we'll bringAbigail and Langston over."
He would personally go to Kenneth's to fetch his kids.
