Chapter 350
“Yes, you’ve been my friend for many years, and... and leven used to have feelings for you, but now you terrify me.”
Heather froze. “What did you say?”
“Nothing. I gotta go I’m busy”
With that, he hung up, ignoring Heather’s subsequent calls.
Langston was leisurely enjoying a dinner while glancing up at him from time to time.
Finally he asked, “Your girlfriend?”
“No, just a delusional woman who wants to be your stepmother.”
Dorothy and Karen were already looking at flights overseas when Kenneth called.
“I found out that Langston really got on a flight back home”
Dorothy felt as if her heart was about to stop. “Where did he land?”
“Eldoria City” Kenneths voice was heavy as he said this, for he too had an inkling of what was happening.
Dorothy instantly understood. Tm going to Eldoria City to find him right now!”
Tve also bought a ticket: ill be boarding soon. Kenneth said, hesitating before adding, ‘But until we hear something from Everett,
maybe you should let Karen go to Eldomia City to find Langston. If she can intercept him before Everett finds out, everything will
be okay. Karen and I can bring him back”
If Dorothy went to Eldoma City, she’d be in Everetts turf.
So many people knew Dorothy.
If Langston was spotted there and Dorothy happened to appear, everything would be exposed.
“Kenneth, I’m worried
“I understand your concerns, but do you want to escalate this situation? Stay at home with Abigail, Karen and I will find
Langston. Langston has been with me for very long, he has deep feelings for me, so I try to talk him amund “
Dorothy hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing. She didn’t want Everett to find out about his son. She couldn’t even
bear to think about the direction things would take then.
But sometimes the thing you feared the most was the thing that happened.
Upon seeing Dorothy in a panicked state, Karen walked over and patted her hand. “Don’t worry, my brother and I will definitely
bring the kid back. Once your project here is completed, well all leave together. We won’t ever return to this godforsaken place!”
“Yes.” Dorothy nodded as her gaze fell. “It’s my fault. I didn’t provide a complete family for the kids; that’s why this happened.
Langston must be envious of the kids in kindergarten who have dads.”
“Isn’t that easy to solve? My brother has wanted to play the dad role for a while now” Karen said with a smile. “You just need to
promote
him”
Dorothy fell silent.
Honestly, if it weren’t for Everett and the feud with the Lopez family, she might really consider Kenneth for the sake of the
children.
But she couldn’t go against her heart now, it wouldn’t be fair to anyone.
The next morning, before Langston had even woken up, Jeffrey was already awake.
Since he had a kid around, he couldn’t even get a good night’s sleep. His decision to stay single and childless was definitely the
right
He didn’t wake the little one next to him. Instead, he got himself ready and sat on the living room couch. After ordering breakfast
from room service, he dialed Lane’s number
Lane sounded very sleepy.
“Hmm? Jeffrey, do you realize what time it is?”
