NovelEnglish"Don't be ridiculous!" "I'm dead serious." There wasn't a hint of jest in Everett's eyes.
He had truly considered this way, and thought that's why he pursued so relentlessly in his life, never straying and never letting go.
Dorothy fell silent, perhaps because she found herself at a loss for words.
To others, his words might seem like pie in the sky, but Dorothy knew he wasn't joking.

"So, can you answer my question now?" "What question?" "That you love me." Everett's gaze was fixed on her delicate face. His left hand was cupping her chin, not allowing her to look away.
After a few seconds of eye contact, she finally caved.
"Yes, I love you." The moment Everett heard those words, his eyes suddenly began to sting and get teary.
"I finally heard it." He felt like he could die right then without any regrets.
"But I'm afraid I'll still disappoint you in terms of giving you trust." Dorothy's past life was self-contained and guarded. Asking her to open up completely and depend on someone for everything was a tall order.
Sometimes, hurting Everett wasn't her intention.
Maybe... her knack for harsh words was inherited from Bella. She never knew how to talk softly.
"No worries, I'll just stop listening to anything you say from now on." "Everett." Since they were opening up, Dorothy decided to ask what she'd been wondering, "Tellthe truth. Why does it have to be me?" It was such a struggle and such torment. Any other woman would have made Everett's life so much easier! He wouldn't even have to lift a finger; women would flock to him.
She was serious about the question.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEverett thought seriously too before answering, "Maybe... I have a tendency for self-punishment?" Dorothy glared at him, "I thought as much." He laughed and pulled her into his embrace, "I'm really happy today." Dorothy raised an eyebrow, "You sure I'm not deceiving you?" "Then deceiveevery day, will you?" "No, I'm tired. I want to sleep." As Dorothy made to leave, Everett immediately leaned in close, "The couch is a bit hard." "So?" "Let's sleep in the bed together then." He said.
She paused, "You said that..." "I'll restrain myself." Since Everett always kept his word, Dorothy didn't suspect anything.
But his hands started wandering the moment they lay down.
Dorothy, unable to bear it any longer, pinned his hand to her waist! "Everett!" "I feel safer this way." "Just keep it there. Don't move it around!" His roaming hands made people hard to believe his words.
"Pfff." His soft sigh cfrom behind her, "Go to sleep, won't touch you restrain myself. Once you're asleep, I'll go take a cold shower." Dorothy paused, then turned to face him, "You want to catch a cold?" "What should I do then?" In the darkness, Everett held her hand against him. It's quite hard for me." Especially at night. Especially with her by his side.
It felt like just the scent of her hair was enough to set him ablaze.
"Then... then I..." Dorothy was finally swayed by his plea for sympathy.
But Everett just smiled, "Your health isn't great right now. We have all the tin the world. Go to sleep, don't worry about me." "Still, you seem about to burst." Dorothy could feel that his boxers were barely containing it.
