NovelEnglishAfter wrapping up the meeting, Everett immediately dialed Dorothy.
His voice couldn't hide the underlying anxiety.
Had Dorothy not objected, he would have ditched the meeting in a heartbeat to be by her side.

"What did Heather tell you?" Dorothy knew he would ask about this. He must have been thinking about it even during the meeting.
"She toldto take good care of you," she relayed Heather's words to Everett without any alterations.
|| II "Actually, Heather really wanted to see you, but she was afraid you'd refuse." "I'm not going," Everett's response was sharp and decisive, just as everyone expected.
After a brief pause, he added, "Don't try to convince me. I'm definitely not going." Dorothy laughed, "I wouldn't dream of convincing you! Why on earth would I want you to visit my rival in a prison of all places?" Even though Heather no longer posed a threat, she was still someone who competed for Everett's affection.
However, Heather's reaction today took Dorothy by surprise.
She had always thought Heather's interest in Everett was driven by ambition, liking the idea of stepping on others to reach the top. Marrying Everett was a way to secure that high status for herself.
But today, she saw that Heather's love was genuine. There might have been multiple reasons, but her desire to marry Everett was pure.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"As long as you understand," Everett felt truly relieved hearing Dorothy joke about it, "Are you with Jeffrey and the others?" "Yeah." "Tell them to pick a restaurant. I'll join you guys for dinner." Chapter 1008 1 Chapter 1008 2 Karen, who hadn't thought much about it initially, frowned slightly at his suggestion.
"Why the sudden urge to see your daughter? Or is it someone else you want to see?" "Someone else? Who?" Jeffrey was completely lost.
Chapter 1008 3 Her sudden sarcastic tone threw Jeffrey off, leaving him speechless.
Dorothy, feeling helpless, intervened on Jeffrey's behalf, "Let's not dwell on the past. Why bring that up?" "Exactly..." "It's just that his gloomy attitude killed my mood! I was actually happy, and he wants to rush home!" Karen, having recently beca mother, was understandably a bit emotionally unstable.
Having just embraced motherhood, it was normal for her to feel a bit resistant to seeing her child after finally getting a chance to go out.
"Fine, we won't go back. Let's head to the restaurant," Jeffrey quickly conceded.
"Let's just drop it, Karen," Dorothy gently patted her shoulder, "It's natural for him to miss his daughter. If he didn't care about her, that's when you should be worried."
