NovelEnglishEverett frowned, "But things aren't exactly like Heather claimed." "Close enough! Your mom's just been brainwashed by her, otherwise what beef would she have with Dorothy's mom?" Jonathan rambled on, "Now we just wait for Dorothy's next move, to see if she'll appeal. I bet she will." "She definitely will," Everett knew Dorothy's stubborn streak all too well.
She was as stubborn as a mule, the kind to hit a wall and not turn back. She would never accept the verdict.
Jonathan sighed, "Then you gotta talk ssense into her, man. No point in making a scene! Everyone looks bad if the gloves coff. Your mom got a year with probation, a slap on the wrist, really. She won't dare step out of line again! If Dorothy drops this appeal nonsense, I promise to stay out of you two's business, and I can handle your mother on my end." It was his way of conceding to Dorothy.
The main issue was that if she did take it to the State Court, and with his son watching him like a hawk, ensuring no foul play, the outcwas anyone's guess! Better to step back now and make peace.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEverett was silent for a long while before finally speaking, "We've already broken up." "Then why you are still meddling in her business?" "I have to." His voice was firm, "Appealing is her right." When Everett got the call from Dorothy, it was early morning in Liberty City.
He had just left the kids' room, planning to ask Kevin to book a flight back to Eldorria City.
He couldn't help but worry about her.
Even if Everett himself thought it was pretty pathetic.
Hesitating at the unfamiliar number, he finally picked up.
"Everett, it's me." He was silent for a few seconds, his tone unfriendly, "You're drinking again?" Otherwise, with Dorothy's temperament, Everett figured he'd never in his life get a call from her out of the blue.
"No, I'm sober," Dorothy's voice didn't sound intoxicated; each word was clear and concise as she uttered, "Sorry to bother you again. I'm not trying to make things difficult, just... could you sendsvideos of Abigail and Langston? I want to see them." Everett glanced at the door to the kids' room, "They're still asleep." "No rush, just send them when they wake up. You don't have to unblock me. Just email it to my work." "What's going on?" Irritation somehow upsurged in Everett's chest, "Why the sudden need to see the kids?" "Nothing's up! Just missing them. I may have given them to you, but as their mother, I have the right to see them, don't I?" Everett was sure now she hadn't been drinking.
Rights, rights, rights! She was treating him like the enemy, being overly cautious with her words.
.
"You've received the first trial's verdict," Everett ignored her talk of rights and steered the conversation elsewhere. He was keen on finding out the reason behind Dorothy's abnormal behavior! .
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSomething was definitely off with her.
"Yeah," but Dorothy clearly didn't want to linger on the call, "That's it. Just send them later, thanks." And with that, she hung up before Everett could get another word in.
When he tried calling back, her phone was switched off! .
Everett tried Dorothy's number again; it rang once but then went toI voicemail and soon after, it too was off. .
He immediately turned to Kevin, "Bookthe next flight to Eldorria City!" .
"Mr. Lopez, the earliest flight back hlands in other place first then els you'd fly to Eldorfia City. If you can wait till tomorrow, there's a direct flight-" .
"I'll take that one."
