Chapter 484

You are the hardest person!”

The words slipped out of Dorothy’s mouth before she could stop them, and only after they were hanging in the air did she realize they had a certain ambiguity.

Everett, ever the troublemaker, chose to play along. “Yes, I am. I’ll own that.”

“Ugh, I can’t even deal with you right now!”

Dorothy turned to leave, but Everett’s grip was ironclad, unyielding.

She frowned in frustration, “Why do you have to be such a pain like Jeffrey, picking up his bad habits!”

During the takeover of East Star Enterprises, Dorothy had seriously doubted that the decision was unlikely Everett’s conduct. His demeanor was always collected, mature, and reserved, never acting like a petulant child.

But that decision might have been fatal for both camps!

“Because I’ve realized that sometimes you have to play the fool to keep someone like you close.”

Before Dorothy returned to his life, Everett’s world had been orderly and disciplined: waking up, attending meetings, travelling for work, domestic or international. Nothing seemed amiss. But after reuniting with her, Everett began to see that too much gentlemanship could be a losing game in a relationship.

Like now. If he let go of her hand for the sake of manner, he’d miss out on even a moment of contact.

“Is that some sort of twisted logic you learned from Jeffrey?”

“I realized it on my own.”

Dorothy couldn’t help but laugh despite little irritation. “Let go. I’m starving.”

Only then did Everett release her. “Alright! After you’ve eaten, I’ll have someone take you to rest. You must be exhausted.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” Dorothy’s brow furrowed slightly. With only a month to spare, she didn’t want to spend a second away from Everett, “I’ll stay right here with you.”

Seeing Everett’s troubled expression, she pressed, “Is there a problem?”

Of course, there was a problem!

Having the woman that he loved right beside him while being unable to touch or do anything was torturous.

“I… um…” Everett struggled to find the words, eventually just sighing, “Never mind. Just stay if you like.”

He’d have to bottle up his desires!

“Why don’t you just say what the problem is? Why hesitating? How am I supposed to know if you don’t tell me?” Dorothy didn’t keep up with his fantasies and was completely confused by his behavior.

She assumed Everett would want to be with her, but he actually seemed hesitant.

“It’s nothing.”

“Out with it! I want to know!” Dorothy took a firm stance.

With an awkward turn of his face, Everett’s voice dropped to a whisper. “It’s just… my chest is injured, but everything else is…. functioning normally.”

Dorothy looked at him innocently, raising an eyebrow. “Okay, and then?”

“And then… when you’re close, when I smell your scent, I start to think…”

Her gaze shifted from Everett’s flushed face to a certain area below his waist that seemed to be showing signs of life, and she finally got it.

“You’re in this state and you still think about those !” She couldn’t believe that this was the same reserved Everett she knew.

Everett exhaled deeply, his attitude résigning to the situation.

“Dorothy, I’m a man.”

Of course, he had desires!

Without Dorothy, he’d resolved on his own. But how could he resist, with her so close after such a long abstinence?

Dorothy paused for a moment before tentatively suggesting, “So, do you want me to ask Jeffrey to find you a girl?”

“Good heavens, Dorothy!”

She flinched at his outburst. “Why are you yelling? Anyways it’s not like it’s your first time being with other women.”
