âI have a burning questionâ Jeffrey glanced at his sleeping buddy, Langston. Are you sure that kid
Dorothy had is a girl? Not a boy?â
âItâs a girl. Iâve seen herâ
âAre you sure? Could it be that he was so pretty that you mistook her for a girl?â
Lane wasnât sure why Jeffrey was asking, but he knew for sure that Dorothy had a girl.
âNo way. Do you think Iâm an idiot?
âOh⦠well, guess not thenâ
Jeffrey just wanted to confirm. He figured if Dorothyâs child looked like Everett, Lane would have told
him by now. Lane knew Jeffrey was close with Everett, and he had seen him before.
âWhat are you even talking about? As soon as he heard Dorothyâs name, Lane was wide awake.
He was worried that something he said might have given Jeffrey a clue.
âNot much. I just realized that Everett might have a secret childâ
Jeffreyâs careless remark made Laneâs heart skip a beat. âHow how could that be? Isnt Mr. Lopez a
very disciplined mar? Heâs never been involved in any scandals in the business world, so where would
a secret child come from?â
âI would have said the same before seeing that kid. I know Everett very well. But after seeing that child,
had no doubts that he was Everetts. The resemblance was uncanny
âDid you see the child?â
âYes. He is right next to me.â
âA boy?â
Jeffrey nodded. âDefinitely a boy. I gave him a bath last night. Iâm absolutely sure. Thatâs why I asked
you if child was a ginct a boy.â
if you were sure that Dorothyâs
you
âItâs a girl, and she doesnât look like Everett.â
âAlright, I must be overthinking.â
Lane chuckled, feeling a bit relieved.
From this prospective, it seemed that Everest didnât love Dorothy that much after all. He could still have
a secret child, so he must be quite a player. He was just pretending to be deeply in love.
âYou donât need to be shocked. Heâs a powerful man; there are many women who want to share his
bed. He can refuse once or twice, but could he resist every time? If something happens, thereâs a
chance of pregnancy. If a woman gets pregnant, itâs like hitting the jackpot she definitely wouldnât have
an abortion.â
So, that was how the secret child came about.
âYouâre right, but Iâm still surprised that he would you know, with other women⦠Jeffrey grimaced.
âGuess love is a lie. Iâll stick to the game of life. I donât understand adult games.â
âWhatâs so surprising? Arenât you a man, Jeffrey?
âYes, but Everett really loves Dorothy.â
âA manâs body and heart are separate. Theyâve been divorced for years, so itâs normal to have desires.
This could mean that your buddy is gradually mowing on from the past. Isnât that a good thing?â
Jeffrey thought for a moment, then nodded. âI guess itâs a good thing. I think heâs more shellâshocked
by suddenly having a son right now.â
âShellâshocked? Didnât he know who he slept with?
