Dorothy blinked a few times before finally nodding. “Alright, she said so.”
Everett, taking long strides, went straight into the hotel room and shut the door.
Although they had done more intimate things many times before, being suddenly cornered by him like
this and surrounded by his scent still made Dorothy a bit flustered.
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t listen to my mom’s crap
Dorothy looked into his eyes and was shocked to see anxiety there.
“It’s none of my business.” She tried to put some distance between her and Everett. Being this close
made her breath uneven.

Finally, he sighed softly.
“My mom was kidnapped once and became withdrawn for a while after being rescued. She developed
severe depression and often had suicidal tendencies.”
Dorothy had no idea that Everett’s mother had gone through all this. She had just met her and thought
she was bubbly and talkative. Her voice was gentle and pleasing to the ear, she seemed like the
perfect, caring mother. Dorothy had a hard time associating her with depression.
But why was he telling her all this?
“I can’t just let her accept our marriage. I’m sorry” Everett said bitterly.
It took Dorothy almost a minute to digest this apology from Everett before she spoke, “Why are you
apologizing to me?” She pursed her lips. It took her a while to say, “Since Amanda only wants you to
marry Heather, maybe we should just end our agreement early”
“Dorothy, don’t even think about breaking the contract!”
Everett’s voice suddenly rose several notches, startling Dorothy.

still wouldn’t break the contract, even with things looking like this? He, the CEO of the Lopez
Corporation, could have any woman he wanted. Why bother with this?
Was it because he felt guilty for taking her virginity that night and was afraid of being labeled as a

So after nearly ten minutes of silence, Dorothy plucked up her courage and just came out with it.
“Mr. Lopez, my virginity… it doesn’t really mean anything, and even if we break the contract, I won’t tell
anyone about this.”
Everett was stunned. “What?”
“Cough cough” Dorothy turned her face away, feeling a bit embarrassed. “I mean, if you feel that… if
you feel obligated to me because that night was my first time, you really don’t have to. I know you were
drunk that night. It was unintentional, and I won’t pester you because of it
She finished speaking and didn’t dare look at Everett’s expression, so she just stiffly turned her gaze
elsewhere.
After a while, she heard Everett’s low, grainy voice. “Do you know that the idea of a man losing control
when he is drunk is bullshit?”
Dorothy was dumbfounded.
“If I was toally drunk, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything”
