NovelEnglishThe situation was puzzling Everett to no end.
Why on earth would Dorothye up with such a demand out of the blue? Given Dorothy's personality, she was not one to turn a blind eye to issues! And yet, she was saying she didn't care about his and Quincy's relationship? "If you choose the second option, I'll move back to Bay Residence tomorrow." "Hold on." Everett frowned, "You don't care about what happens between Quincy and me?" Dorothy nodded, "Yes! I won't interfere. Even if Quincy asks, I won't tell her we reconciled. I'll just say we broke up and moving back to Bay Residence is because the kids couldn't settle into the new place." "What exactly did Quincy say to you today?" Everett was convinced the issue had arisen during Quincy and Dorothy's encounter.

Yet, this made Everett even more anxious.
"You're accepting all this just because of the kids?" "Yes! Langston toldhe didn't want to lose his dad or mom again. He wants us to live together, as a family! I owe him too much, I want to make it right." Everett clenched his fist.
This was a bad sign! Dorothy was willing to put up with Quincy for the kids! What did that imply? She no longer loved him.
That's why she could easily let go of any jealousy, even ready to share him with another woman! "Dorothy! You wouldn't care even if I really married Quincy?" "Yes!" she nodded, her expression still indifferent, "I don't care! I just want to move back to Bay Residence, and you need toe visit the kids at least three times a week." "You don't have to worry, I won't tell anyone we're back together. It'll be our secret! I'll also keep a proper distance from other men, including Keh." It was as if she had considered all conditions that would benefit him.
All for giving the kids aplete family? "Dorothy, you're doing all this just for the kids?" Everett couldn't believe it, he kept asking over and over.

"Yes, haven't you made your choice? Or do you want to back out?" Dorothy leaned back, almost as if she was negotiating, "Decide now f you choose the first option, you can leave right now! Wait for my wedding announcement in three months! Though, I doubt you'd be invited." Everett stood up abruptly from his chair.
"Who are you planning to marry?" "Does it matter to you? Everett, if you dare choose the first option, I will definitely get married! With two kids in tow!" Dorothy also stood, tilting her head up slightly to meet his gaze, "If you don't care aboutor the kids anymore, make your choice." "Say it. Which one?" Everett pursed his lips.
His hesitation seemed almost ironic to Dorothy.
"I'll count to three. If you don't decide, I'll take it as you choosing the first option! Everett, I swear to you, we're done for good! There'll never be any connection between us ever again!" "1." "2." "I choose the second option." Everett's voice was hoarse, "I choose the second option."
