Lane was dumbstruck the moment he said this.
Others might not know, but Lane sure did. Heâd seen Dorothyâs daughter, and she indeed looked a lot
like Everett
In that instant, he could even confirm it
Dorothyâs daughter was Everettâs
Luckily, Jeffrey didnât notice Laneâs reaction, and he just nodded to himself, letting out a lang sigh of
relief. âBut thank goodness theyâve been separated for over four years and that her kids only two It
canât be Everettâsâ
Jellery still fet like something was wrong with this whole scenario.
âHey, do you have a picture of Dorothyâs daughter?â After he asked, he noticed that I ane seemed a bit
distracted, so he waved his hand in front of him. âWhat are you thinking about?â
Lane gave him an awkward smile. âAh nothing, just some work stuff! What were you saying?â
âDo you have a picture of Dorothyâs daughter?wart to see her
Laneâs handsome face paused for a moment, then he shook his head stiffly. âNo, her Twitter and
Instagram are all work stuff.â
âOh, never mind then. Im not that curious about what her daughter looks like, as long as sheâs not
Everetts. Letâs get back to our drinks, tum the page on this one and pretend you never knew.â Jeffrey
flagged down a waiter to change ther glasses. He could now finally eat and drink with a weight lifted
ofths shoulders
Lane, after a long silence, managed to conjure a smile again. âYes, letâs turn the page! Are you
planning on telling Mr. Lopez about this when you get back to Odomia City?â
âWhat? That I ran into Dorothy? He already knows
âBut he doesnât know about her having a daughter, does he?
Jeffrey waved him off. âNape. I just found out right now. I havenât had the chance to tell h
Lane chuckled as he refilled Jeffreyâs glass think you shouldnât tell him. Forly upset Mr. Lopez more,
night? Theyâve been divorced for four years, and Doretryâs already remarried and had a daughter. What
good would it do to tell him about this? It just make him upset all over again,â
âYou donât get it My buddy doesnât know when to quit. He might say heâs given up, but I know he hasnât.
Heâs still hung up on Dorothy, and I need him to get over her completelyâ
Lane shook his head. âThatâs exactly why you
why you shoudnitel him! I can tell Mr. Lopez still has a thing for Dorothy, but heâs too stubborn to admit
it. Donât tell him. In time, hell forget her. What he needs now is to hear less of Dorothyâ
Jeffrey raised an eyebrow. âReally?â
âAbsolutely! Thereâs a saying, isnât there? Time heals al woundsâ
âHmm⦠makes sense. 111 pretend I donât know anything, and I wonât mention Dorothy when I get
back. She doesnât seem interested in getting back with him anywayâ
Lane nodded and felt pleased to see that the topic was settled. He then quickly changed the subject.
âCome on, letâs eat. This is a local delicacy in Everglow City. Try HIâ
âSure, itâs good. Very tasty.â
Jeffrey just thought that Lane was being very hospitable and didnât give it another thought
He had no idea that Lane, who had been downcast just moments ago, was suddenly exhilarated.
Laneâs thin lips couldnât stop curling up. Because he had found Dorothyâs biggest secret, and with this,
how could Dorothy refuse him?
