Everett pressed his lips, then hung up the phone.
Shortly after, Dorothy descended the stairs to find him deep in thought, his handsome face tense, looking rather unhappy. She approached him cautiously.
"What's wrong?" Everett reached out and naturally pulled her into his embrace. "Just thinking about when we'll head back to Bay Residence after this trip." "Once your injury is all healed up." He looked up at her. "You mean 'we' are going back together, right?" "Everett, why do you always ask that?" Dorothy did not want to lie to him, so she simply smiled and took his hand. "Please don't, I don't like it." Her disapproval was enough to silence any remaining words Everett had.
If Dorothy did not like something, he would not do it.
"Let's get some sleep, okay? We have a flight to catch tomorrow, and I'm pretty wiped out." "Okay." The next day, Everett and Dorothy boarded the plane to
Swevia Country.
He booked the entire first-class cabin thanks to Abigail and Langston's presence, thinking it would give the kids some space to play.
"You've got money, but you don't have to waste it like this." Dorothy felt the pinch! Even though she knew Everett's wealth was vast and such expenses were trivial to him, Dorothy, who had climbed up from humble beginnings, had thriftiness etched into her very bones.
After all, the cost of this flight could cover what she made during all three years of junior high.
Maybe even more.
"Feeling the pinch?" "Yeah." Dorothy nodded honestly.
Everett thought momentarily, then said, "How about this: I let you manage all my finances? That way, you'd know whenever I'm about to buy something or spend money, and you could always remind me to save." "Never mind. Your money is too much for me to manage." Even Karen would not dare to take over Jeffrey's assets, let alone Everett's! Being a core figure of the Lopez Corporation, the amount of money he had was a number Dorothy could not even fathom.
"If it's too much, you could hire someone to manage it." "No, thanks. I'll pass and leave your money to your own! I don't have the head for finances." Seeing her head shake like a bobblehead, Everett did not press the issue.
After all, his money was her money.
The ten-hour flight swiftly passed, and the plane smoothly landed at Mellamo Airport.
The people who had come to pick them up were waiting, bowing respectfully upon seeing Everett.
"Sir." "Mhm." Everett handed off the luggage to them, and then, with one hand holding Abigail and the other holding Dorothy's, they headed to the car.
No sooner had they settled in than Dorothy's phone began to ring.
He glanced over instinctively, his gaze darkening.
It was Kenneth.

Why could he not just leave them be? Knowing Everett was upset, Dorothy did not answer immediately but instead smiled. "He's probably just concerned about whether we arrived rned about
safely. Don't be like that!" "My girl doesn't need his concern." "Everett, don't be so childish." Abigail turned around from the front seat, looked at her dad, and stuck out her tongue. "Langston, Mommy says daddy's childish! Haha!" "Daddy's just jealous of Kenneth." Langston always had a knack for hitting the nail on the head. The content is on bignovels.com!

Dorothy didn't know what to say in response.

Everett, however, nodded in
agreement, openly admitting, "That's right, how can I not be when your mommy is so charming? Kenneth
always tries to take my place."
Dorothy sighed in exasperation.
